"Nintendo fans" are not all the same people, and they have not all been saying the same things. Generalizations like that make for fine drama, but they are not grounded in reality.

In fact, I had my own preconceptions about what "Nintendo fans" were thinking right now, and expected my article to be met with a lot of skepticism. #11.1

Doesn't it go the other way around? They have so much confidence in their system that they are experimenting with how they deliver the information to us.

They have so much confidence, they are kicking E3 in the face.

What you really have to wonder is whether they are ballsy or just crazy. As per my article above, I go with the first. #9.1

Nintendo IS having an event exclusively for the media. It will be happening at the same time that they will be giving a presentation for distributors, only in a different location. Both will be happening hours before the E3 show proper begins. #3.1.1

"I can understand they want to reach a larger market but at the least put in a classic playstyle for the fans that have been there since the origional trilogy."

If you read the story, you can see that they DID. It's up to them to prove it with some gameplay videos, but at the very least they're making the claim that, yes, you can play this with as much careful thinking and challenge as the original Splinter Cell games, and there IS a game mode specifically f... #6.1

That it was the best launch title for the Wii U. #1.2

Skyrim actually is included in the "best of the generation" list, even if its not in any other specific list. #3.1

It has some amazing artists behind it. Ever played Chrono Cross or Baten Kaitos? Well, the guy (or team) that works on those amazing painterly backgrounds seems to have left his mark on Xenoblade's textures, making them look as paintings themselves (something more games should do, in my opinion. We are already seeing Architecture as a proper art within videogames, so why not painting proper, in th form of textures?)

It also does have some amazing landscapes, rock formatio... #2.2

Are you saying the soundtrack to the last The World Ends With You is vapid? It's very often celebrated for how awesome it's soundtrack is. It's an awesome and eclectic blend of inner-city music genres, and it makes the game shine. #6.1

Totally agree with you guys. The moment I first saw the teaser website I nearly wet myself. I should go back and get all the reports in the first TWEWY to prepare for this. #3

It's a good joke, too. This website just found itself a place on my speed dial. #2.4.1

Have you ever read The Onion? Or maybe like, any kind of satire, ever? #2.3.1

Absolution Welspoke, PH.D in Folk Linguistics. Demise is a better word. #4.1

Just to try a quick head count:
Menashe comes from before the NES era, and he's now big into indie pc games.
Mike D jumped from the PS2 to the Wii.
Ryan, Andy, Alaska, Josh, Derek, and the guest staff are all multiplatform, some being early SEGA gamers.
I'm multiplatform, PC included. I'd have to consider myself well versed in all consoles to take the position of editor-in-chief for GamingEnthusiast, which I did.

Having said t... #5.1.2

That can be true in some cases MikeCosgrove, but to assume that it is somehow a practical rule by which gaming sites can be judged is presumptuous, and in that case I would say it's the reader himself (VanillaBear in this case), that instantly typecasts the website in an effort to protect his own views. For example, let's say he likes Sony, and because of his "console war" mentality he is afraid of other companies pushing out good products. With that in mind, he will unconsc... #4.4.2

As it turns out, we also have a site for everything else, called "Gaming Enthusiast". Some of the editors are the same for both sites.

Either way, I never understand comments like yours. Do you think we're getting paid for every time we say we like Nintendo? How come it never occurs to you guys that the name of our site is what it is BECAUSE we like Nintendo, as opposed to us praising Nintendo because it's the name of our site.

When we prais... #4.4

If Black Ops 2 for the WiiU supports IR aiming, then I'll have absolutely zero reason to get the PS3 or 360 versions. #21

Yeah I agree with everything you said in that last post.

I have VERY high hopes for the sequel, whenever it comes out. #1.1.4

That's so strange, I thought the final boss was the best battle of the game. In fact I thought the combat of the whole game was very mediocre, and a hindrance to the game's experience.

The game's combat should have been about Light/Shadow polarity from the start. #1.1.2

I'm playing through this game right now. It is pretty boss, and I guess it is quite a bit like No More Heroes, minus the Suda 51 being jack-s*** crazy part, of course. #1

If I told a joke about airplane food being bad, some of you guys would run straight to Wikipedia to do some research on the veracity of my claim. #22
