EB stores, you've seen one you've seen them all.
On the day it came out we went to three stores before getting our hands on a copy. My son asked and we scored the last copy kept behind the counter. The shelves were bare and only had placeholders.
Good to see balanced opinion

Different strokes...
As I said my children find it easy. They will either run around looking at everyone's gear so they can order them or they go straight to where they want using the touchscreen.
I haven't once been asked to help them and that's my benchmark for easy.
I don't think a May release has anything to do with it, more likely Nintendo playing it safe given much of their clientele are young and inexperienced. My 7 year old had no trouble navigating the controls and getting into the game. From my point of view, it is perfectly structured for children.
Even big hitters BF and CoD have online modes virtually empty as people tend to group into only a few choices. With potentially such a small player base, Nintendo probably wanted t...

Yes. Enough said.

"Nintendo...need to make their online services more consumer friendly"
I keep hearing complaints about wii u's online service, yet my 12 and 7 years old boys have no trouble going online and playing MK8 and other other games. Sure it's not perfect and the lack of voice chat in many games is dumb, but they love it.
I recently got minecraft on the PS4 and the boys went to go online and its a no go. I linked their profiles to my psn account a...
Mate, did you even read the article? Assuming the guy above means to buy the new 3ds xl, then according to digital foundry it looks to be worthwhile.
GT and Forza? Interesting choice for examples when we're talking 4 players split screen. Better choice would be Sonic Allstars, but frame rates are definitely lower than 30. Still it does support 5 player.
I can't think of a single game on a console that doesn't drop frames in 4 player mode. Anyone know of one?
1. Drop the prices by half. Failing that make subsequent purchases cheaper on the same transaction eg 3 for the price of 2
2. Dramatically increase release rate. No more of this 1 or 2 per week lark. Get real and offer consumers a choice.
3. More console types now. Give us DS, GameCube and wii today not sometime in the future.
I like virtual console and see it as a real strength of the system, but it's being seriously wasted at the moment.
Let's be honest here, virtual boy was one hell of a massive misstep. The problem with the wii u is not the hardware, nor the gamepad. Even if Nintendo released a console as powerful than a PS4 they would probably still be struggling. Truth is that how they interact with consumers and suppliers needs to be addressed. They have totally failed to leverage the hardware's unique assets or their own IPs. This is a management issue and will not go away with the release of new hardware.
Vast? I agree with you, but we obviously have different definitions of vast.
How about if Nintendo and Rockstar got together and made Grand Theft Mario 3D World. I can see it now, Mario pimping peach whilst Luigi gets high on crack and throws Yoshi out the window of his 23rd floor apartment over a bad drug deal. Two brothers fighting a turf war against drug kingpin, Bowser.
Link's Awakening on the GB.
All the things that make Zelda games so brilliant in a condensed form. Marvellous.
Okay, stop it now. No-one thINKS these are funny any more.
