Anime was a mistake.

The Xperia Play, as a gaming device, is a few software updates behind. The 3DS is a system where every game available for it has been proven to run without issue. Mobile devices' power depends not only on the hardware specifications, but the type of OS level. If a game needs Android 4.0 and the device only gets updated to 3.0, that's one sale out the window.

Nintendo is best working on its own hardware. They have total developer control over it and aren't taking a...

That's gutsy for sure, but it could definitely prove to their advantage. Just getting some gamers involved in the messaging could speak volumes.

That's pretty much the case. The things that will move the core market Nintendo's way are the 2014 exclusive games. The casual players aren't going to buy a Wii U for X or Bayonetta 2, but it might convince the core audience to shell out some cash for a Wii U as a companion to their Xbox One or PS4. If a consumer buys a Wii U as a "second console", that's still a sale.

The commercial is at least trying to show the viewers that the system is not an ex...

You can't compare this to something like Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker, but man, just wait it out to see if this is a good game or not. Either way, future Zelda games won't follow this formula, so why worry?

It definitely is strange how these different bizarre tweets are appearing in such close succession.

Whuh-oh.

Like the author said, it does seem like wanting what you can't have. Backwards compatibility is a fantastic feature, so it does bring up that early adopter mentality. The current gen console, at the moment, does more of what you want than the next gen console does.

But I also think that the PS4 will gradually expand further and satisfy more needs later on. It's early, and like any new console, its potential is still untapped, gaming or otherwise.

Out of all the bosses in Ninja Gaiden on Xbox, Alma was the one that I had the most trouble with.

Great gaming storylines have been fantastic in the seventh generation. They're more relevant now than ever. I don't see how free-to-play could hurt something that's been improving so impressively so quickly.

Wouldn't putting Nintendo games on phones/tablets completely invalidate Nintendo's portable system market? Why would anyone buy a 3DS when you could play Nintendo games on a phone/tablet?

Also, I don't see the logic in sacrificing Nintendo's strongest market, the handheld, if their home console is struggling. That's counter-intuitive in every way.

This "idea" by this "analyst" makes absolutely zero sense.

Does this mean Candy Kong is next? -_-

Did anyone expect Zelda U to be released in 2014? Announced, but not released. Besides, a lot of big Wii U games are being released in 2014. I think we can wait a while longer for Zelda U.

No Platinum Games? Wow, Game Informer, really?

Good? Yes. The best? Oh God no.

That's some serious CPU power they're asking for. Is this game that technically demanding?

While I'm not against this choice, I must say that it is a surprise.

"We don't have paywalls. We have acceleration."

To me, this kind of implementation of microtransactions is just as bad as paywalls. The advantage of buying content with real money and grinding for it is far too big of a difference; in such a competitive game, grinding isn't even a real option since it takes so long to achieve the equivalent result of using real cash.

I really hope that this doesn't reach the level that on-disc DLC during...

I agree. It's kind of weird that the 3DS, a system that has proven itself already, is still getting a huge amount of fantastic games. I really love the 3DS support, but I would be more impressed if more games of this caliber were pushed for Wii U a bit more.

2014 will hopefully be the year for that.

We'll see. I'm optimistic because the different enemies in Zelda have encouraged variety. Hopefully that variety will add some spice to the hack-n-slash formula.

It looks kind of neat to me, and it's good that Nintendo is willing to collaborate with other developers when making games in its established franchises. I'm pretty excited about it.
