You make some good points, but, how can you call this a blunder? I just dont see this as being a big problem. But then again, i use the same username and password for pretty much everything (i have 1 back-up and a few variations).
I think that its unfortunate that no one has stepped up to the plate and addressed the potential benefits of not having a universal network.
This is a really good article. With exception of that 3DO title, I cant recall any bad Zelda games. I didnt care for Adventure of Link, however, i cant really argue that its a bad game.
When you mentioned the backstory to Zelda 2 Adventure of Link, the actual "legend" of princess Zelda, my eyes lit up. I completely forgot about that. I will be extremely disappointed if Skyword Sword doesnt address that.
The only probem is that the sleeping princ...
Bad article.
Playing DVDs is a basic console function? Oh, my mistake, i thought that playing games was.
Online gamers crave network structure? Not quite, they just want a lot of online options and people to play them with.
Final blow? Uh, are you like from the future or something?
I hate to be "this" guy but... Iwata basically said the same thing when the Wii was launched. Strong 3rd party support was also the Gamecube's weakness.
I honestly think that Nintendo will pull it off this time though. Check and Mate.
I think that PSN getting hacked may have gotten Nintendo a little scared. Can you imagine Reggie having to take responsibility for a mess like that? He couldnt smooth talk his way out of that one.
But yea, theyre definitely giving all of the wrong answers right now. It really confuses me. How the hell is information about your online network more compelling when coming from a 3rd party?
Yea Nintendo did mention that there would be some sort of connectivity options between the Wii U and 3DS. But not pushing 3D on the Wii U is a smart move. I dont even want to imagine how much 3D tv will cost me. Thats the beauty of having the 3DS, no tv required.
Fanboys rule!
Nice Article!!!
I was very disappointed with Nintendo of America's decision not to localize Xenoblade or The Last Story. Not so much because they were fairly decent games, but because they always do this (i.e. super mario bros. lost levels, fire emblem, and almost tatsunoko vs. capcom) I decided to turn the other cheek and give Nintendo one FINAL chance. Im tired of defending Nintendo. I give them the benefit of the doubt, and in return, they give me no 3rd party games. Another g...
Ouch!!! Not so epic huh?
Man im so glad i didnt get this game... and i was really tempted too. They shouldve went the RPG/Kingdom Hearts route.
As much as it hurts me to say this, yes... Sonic is well past his prime. I loved all of the original Sonics and absolutely adored Sonic Adventure 2, but now ive just lost interest. Im still rooting for Sonic tho. He's an awesome character.
So Nintendo almost dropped the ball on that one? Thank goodness for Kojima and Sakurai.
Thanx for the footage. Why dont u just stick a knife in my back? ... oh wait, Nintendo of America aready did.
Holding me hostage to buy a 3DS, yea that sounds awesome.
Instead of buying a really expensive 2nd controller, ill just go out and buy a really expensive handheld console. Thanx for looking out for my wallet there Nintendo!
While you're at it, got any solid gold copies of pikmin 3 that you'd like to sell me?
lol yea... i also enjoy Reggie's "execuspeak".
Nice article and great game choices!
Personally i am really lookin forward to playing Tekken and Batman if they make it to the Wii U.
I trust Nintendo on this one. Zelda is their baby, and it will be both nurtured and spoiled. I wouldnt stray too far away from the HD demo tho.
LMAO
1. It looks like a chin strap.
2. His neck resembles a very very very skinny pencil.
3. Neck beards went out of style in the late middle ages.
4. I have proof that the neck beard is just hair trying to run away from his face.
5. It brings out his eyes. His crazy, beedy, cracked out looking eyes.
I liked Twilight Princess! Graphically it was absolutey gorgeous. Sure its not the best Zelda game, however, its far from the worst (im looking at you Adventure of Link... CDI and 4 swords adv. dont count).
The final boss battles in both of those games were absolutely EPIC!!! You missed out dude.
Nice Article. The achievments and dlc arguements are very good points. And it will hurt Wii U sales, in the beginning.
I think that Nintendo knows what theyre doing. The Wii U will not have a universal network. Leaving the online gaming mainly up to developers might mean special online content for Wii U users.
