Uh... how?

Nintendo's main demographics are existing consumers, children, and casual gamers... which, it seems to me, are the three demographics (yes, all three) that Sony is pointedly ignoring with the PS4.

Well, we are occasionally asked for that, but it's a lot easier to pony up the money for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition or Rise of Nations HD when you can still install the game off the original discs or d/l it from GOG whenever ya' want.

Yeah, there are a lot of little touches to Reborn that really make my excited for the next-generation iteration--little hints of things that could be so much more with more hardware to play with.

Like, I imagine the whole attack on Jaburo from Zeta Gundam taking place over a map that slowly morphs from in-space, to in-the-sky, before you finally land. Maybe even with playable ballutes.

But, yeah, as a gamer and gundam and musou fan I can always tell when revi...

Silly console gamers. Divinity: Original Sin is one of the best RPGs in decades, and even it looks to face some decent (maybe?) competition later this year in the form of Pillars of Eternity.

To be fair to Bioware, they weren't exactly able to write themselves into that spot, either.

Yup. ME3 killed the franchise.

Wow. First accurate review of the game I've seen.

It truly is fantastic. Lots of little details and ideas I really hope they expand on in the inevitable PS4 version. Kinda sad we're probably stuck with the stupid "Reborn" title from here on out. Oh well. Really a great game. Well, maybe it's a bit light on content, but it more than makes up for the rubbish that was the third game.

Mario Kart 8 is the more visually impressive than any other game on PS4 or XB3.

Well, I suppose that's better than nothing. But I still want to be able to download my PS1/PS2 content to the PS4's HDD.

And not have to pay a subscription fee for the "privilege."

While you can play Wii games on the gamepad, the functionality sucks. Instead of doing the logical thing and having the gamepad emulate a pro controller, or what have you, if you want to play Xenoblade you have to somehow hold the gamepad with one hand, a wiimote in the other hand, and with the wired Wii Pro controller in the other hand.

Naturally, NoA will have none of it.

As far as I'm aware, they've announced no such thing.

There have been rumors of a unified account system for years, however, usually perpetuated by fanboys trying to downplay the criticism of Nintendo's digital platform.

Are you sure you're not thinking of the unified eshop accounts? That was misreported as an unified account system when it was first announced.

@Ragthorn: Conception II is rubbish/garbage/trash. Ys games, in general, are among the best RPGs of whatever platform they're on, and Memories of Celceta is no exception. It's easily the single best (original) RPG the Vita has.

Nintendo is not its own genre.
But it is unique in the industry.

How sad is it that in the GAME industry, there's really only one developer that focuses exclusively on making really fun games that everyone can enjoy?

Yeah, the Vita is a very solid platform, but it's library is far too unbalanced. It has far too many remakes and far too few original titles--hell, it even has several remakes of other Vita games on it, which is absolutely absurd.

The Vita will never truly take off unless it can bring in some larger-appearl, original titles. Otaku-niche fanservice games and Hunter games can only go so far.

They have embraced digital media.
They have NOT embraced digital platforms. Which is the chief (legitimate) criticism leveled against Nintendo.

Nintendo's future is the exact same as Nintendo's past: they'll keep making cool games that are fun to play, and people will keep writing about how the company is bound to collapse into unimaginable failure.

This has been going on since the NES. You'd think these folks'd get tired of being proved wrong year after year, decade after decade.

How many different iterations of the game are there now?

I bought one on PS3 a while ago. Was very unimpressed with it. It's like it's everything that is wrongheaded with musou games wrapped into one package.

For me it's Tetris.

I've spent like 60 hours on the 3DS version of the game, which is actually a pretty bad version of Tetris (which seems impossible, but they managed somehow) and it's my no.2 most played 3DS game.

So shameful.

But it's the easiest game to pick up and play for 30 seconds.

Wow. They keep finding new ways to make the modern era sections less and less interesting.
