Anime was a mistake.

The website updated the story with this.

"[UPDATE 2, 2:58PM:] Good news, everyone! GameStop Italy and our U.S.-based source have both said that this was all a glitch in the system and that Watch Dogs is—or will soon be—available for pre-order for Wii U again in Italy and the U.S. Apologies for making everyone nervous about this and for not getting that all sorted prior to publishing the first time."

That last line is so very Kotaku.

Horror? Dead Island? No, there are much scarier games than that.

"nintendo fans hate everything that isnt coming to their system."

That's wrong. How could any Wii U owner argue with the chance to get a game like Saints Row IV or Skyrim on their system? That's ridiculous.

The same thing works for the other systems too. When Bayonetta 2 was announced as a Wii U exclusive, everyone was complaining about how it should be on Xbox or Playstation. People clearly want to play that game. They just need to buy a Wi...

Doesn't seem to be there anymore.

Why would pre-orders be opened up in Italy again and have increased in number on Wii U in the US and Canada if the game was cancelled?

I'm confused. Why would Nintendo take strength away from the handheld market (a market they currently dominate) to work in the mobile market? I'd rather they drastically improve their home consoles than move into the mobile field.

Are you really saying that Kinect was better than the Wii Remote?

Yes, the super powers do make vehicles rather obsolete, but they fix a big problem that many other open-world games have suffered from: slow transportation between missions.

Saints Row IV made movement exciting and fluid instead of slow and tedious. Getting from one mission to another in other open-world games just plain sucks. It makes the downtime obnoxious. More games need to do what Saints Row IV did, maybe not with superpowers, but by making the transportation exciting. ...

Wasn't there some festival tour called the Nintendo Fusion back in the day?

Low third-party support on Nintendo consoles did not start with the Wii.

Of course we need more genre diversity. That would be incredible. But "unorthodox Japanese games" don't sell too well here in the West. They're usually niche games; that's why there aren't more of them released here.

Innovation is rare in gaming these days. The same series populate the charts each month. If we got some odd, obscure Japanese-developed game, I'd more than likely play it and so would others, but when it comes to selling well in the ...

Okay, EA. If they're not "dead" to you, then prove it. Make a game for a Nintendo system that isn't a neutered port of a three-year-old game.

They should have side missions that actually mean something. Saints Row IV did a great job with side missions. Not only were they really fun to play (especially ones like Insurance Fraud), but they gave you money and XP, which were used to improve your character. They also weren't everywhere: they were plentiful, but not pointlessly common.

Side missions should be fun AND meaningful. A lot of open-world series have lost their way in that regard.

Tell that to everyone who reported Nintendo's situation this week.

Yes, which is why no company should be able to do it, Microsoft included.

"...cherry-picking parts of an article whilst ignoring other parts of it just to make your point more poignant is pretty lame."

Agreed, but you also need to understand that the article's source is sketchy and unreliable. Analyzing the legitimacy of a source is just as important as reading the whole thing to get the big picture.

This is a random user who has reported this and not just any random user, but an ANONYMOUS random user. If it was an in...

And if you have no money, it doesn't matter how relevant you are.

Point is that money is important, so you can produce products to sell and gather relevancy. I'd rather a company not be the star of the show and still have enough money to be around for a good while than a company that stands in the spotlight all the time hiding their financial troubles before they disappear.

Yeah, me neither...

Either way, he is a gamer. He has gaming industry figures on his show as guests all the time, including Reggie.

Besides, it's a joke. You think any other talk show host would even mention a gaming company on the air?
