For once, I agree.
People want Iwata to be the problem because he's a current popular target for hate.
Its just like how its getting attacked for Tecmo-Koei's decision to not have online coop for Hyrule Warriors.
Sure Iwata had the final say in the things, but he still didn't make it. Nintendo doesn't have 4000+ employees for no reason. The hardware was made by their R&D deparment and the specs were decided upon by them a...
Saying Nintendo SPD is also listed as a developer doesn't mean anything without saying exactly what they are doing, which is more than likely nothing that is pertinent to this issue.
Bigduo says is best below. This decision had 0% to do with Nintendo's personal desires. It was up to what the developer wanted to include and support. Apparently Mario Kart 8 and Xenoblade Cross don't exist. It has to be that Nintendo has some sentiment against online like this articl...
Well one reason could be that this wasn't decided by Nintendo, but by Tecmo-Koei who are actually making the game and announced that it wouldn't be online themselves through their own channels which is contrary to what this article and articles like this are writing for hits.
Tecmo-Koei, the actual developer, isn't a convenient buzz making target, though, so, they make it an issue with Nintendo like always.
I also just wanted to point out that thi...
The ignorance and lack of comprehension in some of these posters.
Do you understand anything works outside of PS4 current spec position amongst console? That seems to be the only things that masters to most of the people on this site.
What does any of what you said have to with laws and regulations in China or how they will affect the Xbox One?
Well said.
What is probably true?
Do you even know what this is about, who its for or why?
Or are you just clicking on something that you just blindly supporting what you perceive to be a negative headline purely out of hope that its something bad about Nintendo and one its popular figures?
Wow, don't even know the story yet is defending.
The rumor pertained nothing to do with the Wii U. It was about someone wanting to get rid of Iwata for refusing to put Nintendo games on smart phones.
Like always, though, people will just read the headlines and then start spewing presumptuous statements.
I don't even know where to begin on how backwards this is.
But first, let me begin by pointing out that a fad and trend are the same thing...you said he refused to do something while doing it. That doesn't make sense.
Secondly, he didn't follow fads, he brought them in. Iwata brought motion control, touchscreen gaming AND dual screen gaming in.
The Wii U isn't following a fad. It is following the NDS, which is following succes...
JCNBA, you hit the nail on the head.
Did you even read the article or just respond to the headline like most people do?
The reason they won't him out is because he won't put games on smart phones, not for anything you or most of these other posters are trying to bash him for.
This is so off topic.
Nintendo doesn't have those things because it doesn't need them.
"Their games" don't usually go down in price because they are highest valued games in the game industry. Though I say usually because there have been many deals and prices drops given by Nintendo, like the buy Mario Kart 8, get another game free deal or all the sales on the eshop.
What you are saying is based on false information. Its negative about Nintendo, though, so you...
This isn't a first party. Its second party.
I could have sworn that this game was made by Tecmo Koei and that whether or not it was online would be their decision as a result(it also says this is from Tecmo-Koei, not Nintendo, in the article description)
Why is Nintendo being attacked for this and not actual people who developed it who made the decision?
Also, this article is false. It says on Nintendo's website that there will be adventure mode online for multiple people.
Your a...
Try to make up stuff a little better.
The gamepad was designed around family usage from being able play offscrene while someone watchess T.V. to in game support functions for your friends like in New Super Mario Bros U.
On top of that, the Wii U is fully backwards compatible with the Wii, its games and device unlike the PS4 and XBONE. Your argument is invalid.
Are you guys even trying anymore?
The Gamepad is the only reason I bought the Wii U.
Otherwise, it would have just been another stale PC that would get outdated in a year like the PS4 and XBONE.
The unique control scheme made it the only console that could offer games I couldn't get better versions of on my PC.
That's not even a compatible scenario.
I get it. This is supposed to be ironic because its the exact opposite of what actually happens right? Right??
How did you get agrees for accusing Nintendo of not releasing this when that has 0% anything to do with them.
I guess that just goes to show that all you need to do is bash Nintendo to get ahead around here.
Dunban, I'm sure many people "signed off" on the name.
The people who actually made it more than likely didn't include Iwata, though. I'm sure whoever it was gave a good demonstration and provided many viable reasons for why it should use that name to the higher ups in the company.
Iwata is not the primary source of those types of decisions. If he was then there would be no reason to have hired all of the other people at the company. 1 m...
