I love how people don't realize that having the two screens makes pretty much anything, from sport to tv/movie surfing and youtube, more appropriate for your TV.
I hate to guess how companies would split their products in this way though. Maybe this is the point, and what Nintendo wants to offer us is content packaging designed by them, which uses a "universal remote".

What is everyone asleep? Every major third party is making their own engines for next gen.
This issue is largely irrelevant now, and in Nintendo's case it almost certainly is (3rd party support on Nintendo systems joke here).
And let's not forget that engines are the main reason why brown'n'bloom shooter number 9001 existed.
The IR Pointer was more important to the future of videogames
Xbox is winning the US right now because of Kinect, and as you eloquently put it, it won't be "in" for long.
They'll try and replicate Kinect again next gen, but they should've already realized that Wii's bathroom scales outsold their Kinect 2 to 1.
"the worst launch in the history of gaming"
Were not talking about Vita or PSPGo here.
Alot of people own ALOT of Apple Stock.
just saying.....
Heroes of Ruin will die in the market, and that sucks because it deserves to be a success, if only to encourage companies like Monolith to make more of these types of games on the system.
Its also a pity that he doesn't mention Revelations.
Or Monster Hunter 3G.
I am stunned by the originality of these comments.
Probably something that was planned for Vita, but now will be 3DS exclusive.
People ask why Google would choose Nintendo, what you should be asking is why Nintendo chose Google.
Actually the Top 20 Sellers on the "game" Appstore pretty much replicates the same exact problem with game retail, the most popular brand names always sell better, and everything else makes no money what so ever.
24 hours from now, following the news of NSMB2 being direct download, as well as retail, we'll see more doom articles than positive spin, and THAT is ridiculous considering all the bi***ing these analysts have been doing about Nintendo products needing the Appstore to survive.
If Apple really knew how to do games, Valve and Origin wouldn't exist anymore.
Its confirmed, HD Gaming is killing Nintendo.
There's been a threefold hit on them with the 3DS price drop, the WIIU R&D and the Yen.
Ridiculous
Just look at the sales of MK and Mario Land 3D.
The reason Sony creates new IP, and the reason its more noticable, is because they haven't had long term huge successes (I mean Mario, GTA, COD huge).
MS have basically one, Halo, and Sony have Gran Turismo and maybe Wipeout. This is what happens when third-parties rule your console for 20 years.
And let's not forget the number of Sonic's, Halo's, LBP's and God of War's that have been made in the last decade.
If you&...
I want this game, and i want to do some online questing with bros!
I agree with you, but its a pity most people are in denial about this reality.
I guess they must really believe reskinning COD's and Assassin Creed's is for greed, not fair business practice.
Films have 3 or 4 http://en.wikipedia.org/wik... to exploit, Video games have one.
And this game market is fractured too, because of exclusives, and also because of people buying only one console per gen (usually).
Shinobi was considered quite bad and Sonic Generations wasn't a very good version.
Pushing support towards an install base of 2 million, rather than 17 million, isn't a smart bet, they'll put more money into mobile games surely.
