How does that relate to the article?

Point of the article: People keep saying Nintendo doesn't make new IPs when they actually do. Then it goes on to list all the IPs Nintendo has created in each console's lifetime.

Yes, there are Mario spinoffs, but that has no relation to the topic at hand.

That's not always the case. The GameCube was actually stronger than the PS2 but sold less.

The Wii was weaker than the PS3 and Xbox360 but sold more.

He is correct some Irish do call it soccer. It depends on the person and where they are from.

Booth terms are used. I had an Irish friend that called it soccer. He used soccer so people made sure he was not talking about Gaelic football instead.

This is what happens when you generalize.

If Nintendo didn't fund it, it would not exist. Neither Microsoft, Sony, or Sega was willing to publish it. Platinum had no funds and no publisher before Nintendo came along.

They never tried to alienate anybody.

It depends on how much money Nintendo is willing to throw at it. Nintendo continues to fund Fatal Frame games even though the sales of those games are pretty lackluster.

They funded it's development and made a deal with Sega.

Basically, Nintendo has to fund development and pay for all the advertising. In return, it's a WiiU exclusive.

Last time I checked, Uncharted was not compatible.

They're making it hard to resist buying an XboxOne. If they reveal enough exclusives, I'll have to cave in. I remember getting my 360, it was the Blue Dragon bundle.

Yup, I bought it the day it came out and I found that out the hard way. Sony has been good with updating the list of compatible titles though.

It was much worse when the VitaTV was first released.

Yoshida disagrees with you on the notion that core gamers want something to play all the time.

In an interview, he stated that Vita gamers want titles that you can play for 15 - 20 minutes on the go. This is their reason for putting indies in the forefront and first party on the back burner. It's because "gameplay, game mechanic wise, people want to spend 10 minutes, 15 minutes getting in and out. "

You keep saying that it will get a successor in two years, but it won't happen. You don't understand how these things work.

Nintendo just started profiting off of the WiiU. AAandoning the platform now would mean a lost of money, they already are developing games for it and putting money into 2nd part relationships.

There is no way they would continue to spend money developing games like Zelda, Smash Bros, Mario party and other games if they were going...

No new IP's?

I guess Splatoon and Miyamoto's two new projects don't exist. E3 2014 never happened.

200, eh?

How is that for you?

They can always do what Atlus did in Persona 3 Portable. They could introduce a female main character but only classify the male character as canon to the story.

Everybody is happy that way.

Yeah, it really doesn't matter since the WiiU is backwards compatible.

4293d ago 7 agree0 disagreeView comment

Actually, it really isn't.

If FIFA 14 wasn't on WiiU, why would they suddenly expect the next installment to make it? I'm sure this was anticipated by almost everyone here.

They're two completely different games.

4293d ago 12 agree0 disagreeView comment

Well, since they haven't purchased the game since 99, the fact it's not on WiiU probably does matter much.

The adapter they are selling is for actual GameCube controllers. These are remodeled Classic Pro Controllers.

4293d ago 0 agree0 disagreeView comment

Not really. It's because they're not really WiiU or GameCube controllers. They're remodeled Classic Pro Controllers from the Wii and they needed to be connected to the Wiimote.

I hope they fix the character models for females. In their previous games, it looked like they slapped breast on a male model and called it a day.
