Sony: Make your system look like the complete opposite of the Xbox One. More games announced, I know it won't be cheap but not 589 US dollars, more exclusives, remind people that the Vita is an actual system with actual games and not a PS4 add on. And finally; Last Guardian & Final Fantasy Versus XIII have to be there or I have lost all hope.
Microsoft: They're in too deep for me to care now.
Nintendo: Games, release date, games, release dates &a...
Yes Nintendo hates indies, that would explain why there are so many indie coming out for PC and Wii U. Delusion man...well at least things haven't changed since I was gone.
Am I a bad person for not knowing what Vine is? Anyway, as far as i'm concerned Miiverse is fine, it has it head scratching moments (y can't Metroid crawl or one time on the Ninja Gaiden 3 community a guy was asking for pictures of the girls dead) but overall it's a nice little head dedicated to games. Would all of that other social media stuff be nice? Sure, no one will complain about a system getting more, but for me i'm not going to lose sleep at night because I can't t...
Game of the year so far for me. If you like RPGs you owe it to yourself to try it out.
Because
1) The majority of them will either be Kinect games of XBLA games
2) Microsoft tends to think if it has exclusive DLC then it's an exclusive
I'm torn by this, I want Retro and other Nintendo devs to try new stuff, but at the same time Metroid Prime is one of my all time favorite games and after Other M (yes I didn't like Other M, get over it and don't start a shit storm) I need another Retro made Metroid. But at the same time I don't want them to be delegated to just Metroid and like I said before either try new things or bring back an old series. My hope is with all the people they've been hiring they're a...
While it is upsetting at first, I HOPE the reasoning is because Big Boss is older now, kind of like in MGS4 where he had a different voice actor. If that was the case I would be okay with it. But if he's not voicing Snake anymore than it would be a shame and it wouldn't fell right. Like having Troy Baker voice Mario. Or maybe Kojima is just trolling the fans again, who knows?
While this is how it should of been at launch, I will say thank you Nintendo, now let's get to announcing some release dates for games!
People complain Nintendo isn't doing enough to explain to consumers the difference between the Wii and Wii U.
People then complain when Nintendo makes a flyer explaining the difference between Wii and Wii U.
This is what I love about gaming journalism and the gaming community as a whole. You know if you want a medium to be taken seriously you have to stop acting like a five year old that doesn't know what it wants.

Pretty much, while i'm personally getting tired of the saturation of Mario lately (where is my damn Star Fox, Nintendo?) from a business point of view it makes perfect sense. Mario is the icon of gaming and the best selling franchise of all time, if you were the head of Nintendo and you didn't put Mario's face everywhere you would be an idiot or you just don't like money. It's simple business 101. If Sony or Microsoft had Mario they would do the same exact thing, anyone wo...
No offense, but if you make a comparison to Nintendo now to Sega when the Dreamcast died, you really have no idea what you're talking about. Sega was losing money for YEARS before the Dreamcast even launched, they were a sinking ship and had no choice but to bail out of the hardware business. But Nintendo is different, the DS is the best selling system of all time and the Wii while it fell off the last few years still made Nintendo a huge profit. Even though they've been losing money ...
Dude, compared to the other sh*t Kotaku has published in the past this is not even that bad. Okay, it is bad, but it's not "Diablo 3 told me my marriage was over" bad.
*Come in*
*Read the cluster f&ck of a comment section from fanboys on all sides*
Yeah...not touching this one with a ten foot pole.
Correction, Pikmin can be a system seller, it all depends on marketing. The number one factor as to why a game sells so well is marketing. Not trying to offend any COD players out there, but why does Call of Duty sell so well? Because they advertise it EVERYWHERE! It's simple business 101. I guarantee you if Nintendo even put a quarter of the amount of money Activison spends into adversting COD into marketing Pikmin 3 it would be a system seller but as it stands Nintendo's marketing s...
Well, those are some nice improvements. Guess will have to see if it's really the "definitive" version when it comes out. If so, I may pick it up. Never got around to getting Human Revolution, too many games at the time, so I guess now would be the perfect time. Still, though, it does kind of rub me the wrong way this game is almost two years old and is going to be 50 dollars, despite the improvements.
Why would you assume people would buy Batman, a game that was out for a year before hitting the Wii U, and why would you assume people would buy it at full price when the other versions were less?
Why would you assume people would buy Mass Effect 3, when on other consoles at the same time Mass Effect trilogy came out where you got all three games instead of the last one and it costed less?
Why would anyone assume people would buy rushed, sloppy ports or games...
'Sigh' Okay, I get the fact that a majority of people only buy one console, so there may be an group of Wii/Wii U owners who missed out on Human Revolution. But still, it's a game that came out in 2011! This is the same problem the Vita is having, where third party devs just want to make ports. But i'll try to remain optimistic. If they do some cool stuff with the gamepad and do what the Need For Speed devs did (take assets from the PC version) they I won't complain, as lo...
Holy sh*t. I thought the series was done for good after Nier flopped. But not only are they bringing Drakengard back, the entire dev team is reuniting and the same composer. Hype level maximum. I also hope they bring Emi Evans back for the vocals. Oh, and Square for the love of god do one thing right and bring this over to the West.
Dear god the thread about this on NeoGaf was both hilarious and sad. It amazes me how a homeless bum will say the Wii U is underpowered and it's the top story on Kotaku. But a developer says something positive about the system and it either gets ignored or people claim they're fanboys, because we all know people on the internet know more about the system than people who actually develop for it. I'll leave it at this, in two weeks there may be a game there from a developer in Texas...
