Wow, so many terrible reviews for a game that was supposed to be a huge success on the Wii U. What was Nintendo thinking when they made this game? Did they even play test it before release? What a huge disaster.
Not going to "support the Nintendo NX" unless Nintendo makes a radical change to how they design hardware, and actually makes a solid, feature-rich, high spec system without silly gimmicks dragging it down. Until that time (which may never happen), I simply won't buy any of their products.
No, he got it right. Nintendo really needs to prove itself to 3rd party developers, not the other way around. And to start with, they need to design much better hardware, not the gimmicky low-spec stuff they've been producing for the last decade or so.
So you're hoping that the NX will fail? OK ...
Sounds like you're a bit caught up in silly conspiracy theories. I don't think so, the simple reason that EA is being cautious, considering that all of Nintendo's recent consoles have featured weak specs and missing features, making them unable to handle the same games on competing consoles. If Nintendo wants big publishers to produce games on their hardware, they need to do a better job designing that hardware, and stop focusing on gimmicks. It's really not more complicated t...
"Which means my VC collection will last for all eternity. I'm cool with that."
Until your Wii U console breaks, is lost, or stolen. If that happens, you lose all your digital purchases, because Nintendo ties your purchases to hardware, not accounts.
@ ricosuave - Well, you at least HAD a Wii U, too embarrassed to admit that? Your quote from another comment:
"With no third party support it will be a total flop I said it before they could have had a presentation and given people an idea of what the NX is going to be and a list of developers to give people out there hope I won't be pre-ordering an NX I learned my mistake with the Wii U I'll wait"
So either you dumped the Wii U (under...
They "killed the console" the day they released it, by completely bungling the design, specs, and features. It was unable to deliver competitive games, 3rd party developers skipped it, and there were far too few decent games coming out to merit the purchase.
And Splatoon isn't as great as you think, it'll be forgotten soon enough. Especially since it came out on the Wii U. Personally I think the game is lame and childish, the characters are ridiculous, an...
If Nintendo and Platinum had just left out the gimmicky controls, Star Fox Zero would have been a much better game. Sadly, Miyamoto got his way, and the game was ruined.
No, it really isn't as dramatic or amazing as you claim. In fact, Nintendo has shown Sony and MS how NOT to design gaming hardware, and how NOT to make games. They've become mostly irrelevant in the gaming industry, and with most of the gaming community.
Most of the reviews were bad, so you don't really have a point. The game is sitting on Metacritic with an overall score of 69, "mixed or average reviews", so most of the reviews are not "good", no matter how much you wish they were. Nintendo and Platinum clearly bungled one of their core franchises very badly, and it shows in the bad reviews and poor sales. It's clearly at best a mediocre game.
Maybe English is not his first language? Don't be so quick to condemn.
@ GoldenElf - All of your excuses for everything Nintendo has done wrong with the Wii U are the kind of head-in-the-sand mentality that put Nintendo in this poor situation to begin with. You basically just dismiss all the bad hardware design, poor infrastructure, lack of new IPs, and mediocre games that are all essential reasons why the Wii U failed.
Keep on making excuses and supporting their poor products and bad decisions, if you truly want them to continue down this fa...
Star Fox really was ruined by the gimmicky controls. It seems like Nintendo doesn't even play test their games anymore? Any decent game tester would have alerted them to the terrible controls; are they just too afraid to go against Miyamoto and his poor ideas?

Have you been watching the recent Best Buy one day or 4 day sales? Amazing deals.
One Piece PW3 $15, J-Stars $15, Arslan $18, Bloodborne $20, Until Dawn $20, MGSV $20, etc. Some of those are still on sale now, and if you have Gamers Club they're even cheaper!
Wow, you know that when Jose Otero (IGN's Nintendo reviewer) is concerned about Nintendo's weak E3 plans, things really must be bad. He's a diehard fan who usually supports everything Nintendo does no matter what.
No it won't!
It's pretty clear to everyone that Nintendo has been in crisis for years; their Wii U failed to catch on, 3DS sales are slipping, and they have nothing to replace those systems. As of right now, they are in a serious lull, with nothing positive on the horizon at all.
And they aren't saying anything about the NX, which is another sign of a company that is unsure of their products, afraid to even give any details about the system.
I disagree about it being "mindless"; while it is a fantastic action game, it does require a strategic approach to battles, upgrading and use of weapons, abilities, etc. I'd give the game a 9 at least, absolutely fantastic overhead twin stick shooter! One of my favorite games this year, and well worth the price.
