Screw Capcom. That they can stare us in the face, after what Capcom Japan did with MH3, and lie about their frank lazyness regarding the Wii, is no surprise.
People are calling this SMW 2. I didn't really love Yoshi's Island, at the time, so im more than willing to think of it as such.
Screw the trolls. The majority of reviewers are going to rate this as a single player experience, and most likely they will only marginally take account of multiplayer aspects, so scoring lower than 8 is obviously a really dumb error.
Personally i object to the use of the word Art in their company name but eh.
LOL, an IGN article that i enjoyed reading? It happened in 2009
One example, Ign is owned by News Corporation. News Corp (the owners of Fox News) are famous for "selling" doubt, regarding second hand smoke and cancer links in the eighties. Today, you will see preferential treatment in defense of the coal industry, and other climate change associated polluters, so if this is the case with serious issues what do honestly believe you will get from a game review site?
@DaTruth, thats right. That was the other recent game that came up.
If your job is threatened because of an review you pretty much guarantee they will choose self preservation.
@mikepmcc, calling it obscure? Jesus it affects the WHOLE industry, its not obscure. Its the reason why GTA4 is the "best reviewed game of all time", but in retrospect, most people don't think it actually is.
I can't believe people are shocked by this.
Firstly, didn't Ubi fly certain press all the way to Italy to preview this game?
Secondly, hasn't there been a long term bias inherent in game reviews when "press packs" are distributed to these "journalists"?
Thirdly, we know there have been threats in the past, don't be so naive to assume this isn't a common thing in gaming media.
Remember that just making this public is a threat to jobs,...
@Mahr, the wheel didn't help Excitebots AT ALL.
You know the joke is that in any other industry, where a monopoly on content sales was controlled by the producer of the content viewer, there would be complaints of bias and anti competitiveness.
No one complains when Sony products are principally selling Sony Columbia Tristar films and Sony Music.
Nintendo HAVE a monopoly because of their quality product, its that simple, and it is 3rd parties who are to blame for the lack of interest in their titles.
Does sound kinda rough. Its like they don't have children, and were locked in the basement for 13 years.

MUCH better version, check it out
I agree with you guys, Where the hell is the actual proper video?
Activision are super lame. They said those first screens were from an early build, so Where are the later build screens?
The game is released in a week, so where are the official videos?
@Spoony, Don't be surprised if Nintendo help Ubisoft, they helped them before.
The question is whether in store demos (downloadable demos?) are going to be ready in time. I don't know what Ubi and Konami are doing but the delays better be used to figure out how they'll get those numbers.
The problem with Patcher is he NEVER quantified his statements.
He should have said "if Japan becomes a bigger problem Nintendo will introduce a new Wii", because that is exactly the impression i am getting from Iwata with these statements.
We know Iwata is playing for the home team, its the reason why there is a 2D Mario for Christmas this year, so i do believe that however it falls in Japan is how it will turn out for the rest of us.
I think...
If sales figures are correct, and the PS3 is now beating Wii in japan, there is every chance that Nintendo will be focussed on defeating Sony asap. HD Wii has a very good chance of achieving this.
Are you serious? So your not going to buy a Mario game, the first 2D Mario since SMW, because of a reviewer who SPEED RAN the game?
Just don't bother with us please.

If you honestly believe this is how you would play a Mario...
Possibly bundle The Grinder with Black Wii's?
Might be a good idea for Nintendo to start thinking about this, and not only just as a MH3 bundle.
BK NB should have sold more, RC PS3 should have sold more, they didn't.
Clearly we all changed our minds about the company when the Conduit was made. Irrespective of its history they know what theyre doing, and hopefully, they will continue to impress us and improve.
