I like his Pach-Attacks more than I like his 'predictions' in the industry. I like the technical and business insight into the industry he sometimes provide. It gives people a better understanding of how some companies think when they make certain decisions.
I'm not saying he is the only source for that sort of information. His insight is better than his predictions though. As for his predictions, he is wrong quite a lot of the time as many analysts can be.
I'll give him the lack of Pro controller support and online multiplayer, but the last one on the list about DK Crash Course being too hard was utterly ridiculous.
Oh no. The battery life of a controller that I can play my games on is shorter than a normal one. Oh whatever will I do. It's not like I can plug it into an outlet as I play. /sarcasm
Honestly, it's not even a portable device.
First the game needs to run as well as Mario Kart in order for that to be true. This game is fun, I agree. But it isn't without its own set of technical flaws.
@LOL_WUT
So it doesn't if the game plays like shit? What kind of person thinks this way?
I suppose Microsoft putting ESPN on a gaming app wasn't a gimmick? Or Sony's magic wand gizmo? Gimmicks are not exclusive to Nintendo as you try to make it seem.
@Eyeco
1. What about Metroid Prime Trilogy, The Conduit and Xenoblade Chronicles? Halo 2 is one of the old Xbox's best looking games and it doesn't come close to any of those graphically.
2. Go on YouTube and look up Super Smash Bros. Brawl 720p emulator footage. Go look up the Super Mario Galaxy screenshots that are rendered in 1080p. Then you can get back to me.
3. No you can't because you hardly know if the system is weak. Why ...

I was addressing the OP, man. Not you. Sorry I didn't put "@morganfell" at the start of my comment.
It's not a selling point, it's just a nice convenience like any other non-gaming feature on a video game console, you ding-dong.
That's what they said about Xenoblade and Last Story.
Not buying it will help with that process. Vote with your wallet.
Definitely getting Trine 2, myself. Hopefully they'll do a similar sale on retail games. I was hoping to download Sonic All-Stars and Tekken Tag 2.

Funny you say that, I'm primarily a Nintendo fan lol.
Thing is I used to be a big Xbox gamer. It's not like I WANT to hate the platform mind you, but with Kinect supposedly built in this time and no sign of Xbox Live's price going down, it doesn't bode well for my interest.
But this is just a preference of mine. Hardly suggesting other people need to agree with it.
I agree with just about everything you've said; I share pretty much all of these concerns. Bubble up for you sir.
Discs don't, but supposedly they may come to the Virtual Console.
Anything that is not like Samus in Metroid Other M is a perfectly good start.
A good female character doesn't even have to be physically powerful to be likeable. For anyone who's into animation, look into Disney renaissance Princess characters. They weren't always a part of the action and fighting, but they were still strong characters who helped drive the story forward.
A character of ANY gender who meets a trial and tries to face it (whether the...
It's actually a pretty good philosophy to live by, so yeah it is mature from where I'm standing.
Actually I never said that and I would appreciate it you refrained from putting words in my mouth. There's a difference from having no understanding of something and a basic understanding of it.
Getting angry at Nintendo for long (and infrequent) updates is no different than getting at angry for exactly the same thing. It's acceptable for Sony but ...
Double post.
"Well thats good, but if no one complained they probably wouldn't of bothered."
When you ASSUME, you make an ASS out of U and ME.
"Well I don't know I'm not a tec expert I don't dabble in console designs and updates, thats there job."
So in other words, you're going to complain with zero understanding of how the entire issue works. Fantastic. Ignorance is all this world needs.
And no, I...
Thanks. The entire video is in Japanese so I don't understand any of it. Is there an accurate translation of what was actually said about the Wii U load times, if anything?
Then they go and criticize Pachter for doing the same thing.
