I think overall its about journalists being too close to developers on a personal level.
What it's pretty much saying is that if your close to a developer and give their game favorable coverage, it's hard to know if you're recommending a good game, or promoting a friend for their own financial benefit regardless of the product's quality.
I guess thats the moral of this controversy however I'm not entirely up to date with all the gossip.
The full quote is something the entire industry needs to read and take note of.
Developers are too focused with appealing to the short minded consumer sometimes.

Those are pretty damning to Kotaku's Integrity.
Isn't Stephen Totilo the head of Kotaku? Seems like the guy has no control over standards he himself has set in place.
"Does Japan not have the Wii U also?"
Wii U owners are not limited to Japan...
"The whole catering to Japan part doesn't make much sense."
It cannot be that hard to understand that I was talking about them prioritizing the Japanese market over Wii U owners WORLDWIDE can it?
Rogue Squadron was a brilliant game. It's a shame that we won't see a remake or remaster of it. I remember the studio that developed it considering a 3ds port before they got shutdown.
£7 for ALL THAT?!?!?!? That is a pretty good price for the amount of content you get.
Kudos to Nintendo.
To be honest its just another case of frustration that Japan is being catered to rather than Wii U owners.
Annoying but I don't mind the wait.
"plus you KNOW Nintendo is going to have something funny planned for the Duck Hunt Dog reveal. It's too good a comedy opportunity to pass up!"
I expect it to be super trolly.
It'll have the standard "Duck Hunt Dog Pounces In" line, and then it'll cut to this: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

The original leak http://n4g.com/news/1570005... showed jigglypuff in the roster, and these vids pretty much confirm this leak to be somewhat reliable.
So right now it's looking like Jigglypuff is in.

Yup it's a pretty good lineup of newcomers :)
Well Bowser Jr. is legit! Pretty good addition IMO.
I'm just happy Ness is returning ^_^
EDIT: HOLY CRAP!?!? It kinda just sunk in that Shulk will be a newcomer!
Anyone else notice the amount of love Kid Icarus is getting in this Smash? The difficulty meter looks like it was taken straight out of Uprising.
Sakurai must really love the series.
I feel as though it would be mandatory based on what we've seen of Pagan Min so far ;)
No doubt about that but I'm impatient! I want to practice with the new characters before the Wii U release anyway and have a blast online :)
"This password - OmIPs4SonYIndiE8GBRAM2014
would take 5 octillion years to crack."
Totally just changed my password to that/s
Why not just make your password long? I typed in an easy to remember password that went up to 4 thousand years.
No need to get too technical with the suggestions.
XD
It'll be interesting to see how the 3DS version sells.
I wonder if it'll cause a Pokemon style sales surge.
"But it was an employee, they don't speak for the company and they have the right to think whatever they want."
No one's denying employee's their right to free speech.
But when you're representing a company (even on twitter) you certainly don't get to spout whatever you want assuming you want to keep your job.
Why no Bravely Default sale? :(
Yeh I'd rather Splatoon be its own thing.
