Ummmmm dude you have a malfunction here is your answer, if you don't mind. If people are only buying nintendo consoles for their first party games then nintendo should capitalize on that and continue making consoles. its why halo is only on xbox, or god of war only on ps. now i have a question, if all games came out for all systems what would distinguish the systems from eachother? Keep in mind I understand already that in your opinion nintendo is lacking in the hardware department, but b... #7.1.3

Well where to start... the name wii u from wii confused people about as much as playstation 2 did from playstation or dsi from ds. its the way they presented it that confused people. hardware is not sub par no is it obsolete. i can see where the games being tied to the hardware can be a prob but i'm sure nintendo will remedy those deserving of it. for example the person who traded their system in to the local game store can go kick rocks if you gave up your system you gave up your games o... #5.2

well he didn't say the worse it gets he said "the harder the sruggle" and he used gamecube as an example that struggled to put out games but pulled around, though too little too late, at the end of its life cycle with some big hitters. I don't believe that will hold true with the Wii U though. I currently own one and its is aggrevating knowing that most of the people saying negative stuff about it never really sat down with one cause I have a muthafukin blast on my shit. and... #4.3.1

lol @the ps4 thing but even that won't let you put up a whole game lol good one though i"m the 1 agree #4.1

now its actually is free adverts. cause the people doing it won't get a dime. its not about how much you make I personally don't want anyone making a cent off of my hard work period. do you work? look at your paystub and check the the taxes? doen't it piss you of a bit that the gov't digs so much into your check though at no point in time were they there to help you do your job? I cant speak for everyone but someone making money off my hard work makes me have a "shit, you... #5.1

I don't understand why people disagree with what nintendo is doing. its very simple in the music industry you are limited to the amount of conent from someone elses song into ur own. in film you have to pay to use characters from someone elses property. So why in the hell should the let's players make money off of putting entire games on display? and thats all nintendo is really targeting is those using there property at length, not comparable to the sample the author talks of in eart... #6

@brave27heart... are you like EA damage control? You're not any more intelligent for using uncommon words to insult someone you just make yourself look like as much as a douche as Summerwill. An internet poll yes which probably has more of their target audience involved in it than any other poll. But then again thats just speculation. ease up on the insults we're all gamers with strong opinions and you know the classic saying about opinions I presume... they're like assholes yadd... #1.5.3

sorry but the share button thing being annoying is bull. I'm a wii u owner and one of the things that got me to get my system was the fact that mid game i could push the home button and go to the internet or contact my friends via miiverse or even wiichat. the take over for your friend thing I personally wouldnt use but hey if it floats someones boat rock on. what the share button is, is the usual nintendo innovates and the comp copies and modifies. imitation is a form of flattery and onc... #20

Zombie u was fun as hell and they've never had and instance where they bait and switch on you ala killzone.i'm interested to see what games ps4 will have cause I'd like to pick one up but thus far nothing moves me yet. i'm pretty sure e3 will change that #4.3

you do discount wii u and ps4 too much, ninty got more than mario and very decent free online. the idea behind zombie u shows promise and look at the splinter cell uses for the gamepad. sony I believe will have more than rehashes and much better online than their previous system.we'll see more on that at e3. as for Xbox..... You're spot on! lol #3.9.1

@lol_wut... thats probably why they are still doing smaller events at e3 #1.3.2

they are doing something just not the largescale press conference like usual #1.2.1

nintendo is still gonna be there, and the author isn't saying everyone shouldn't. he is just stating that all the fluff that has become the majority of the press conferences can be done without. I mean its true in a way look at last years e3 it sucked for all 3 bigwigs. having the smAaller events at e3 will help keep focus where it belongs #1.5

Ummmmm, they are going to be at E3, they are just not having a largescale press conference. They will show off their upcoming titles and have hands on. so how did all this 'nintendo doesn't need e3' 'nintendos throwing in the towel' bs start. this place is funny, fanboys jumping at an op to say something negative, and opposing fanboys making a defense when its not even necessary. #21

one i don't think the adverts are bad, but am i the only one that sees the cynisism in it. gaming media and fantrolls alike were all like "people don't know the wii u isn't a wii peripheral" and in all the adverts the people mention exactly that. like "it has better graphics and a gamepad the doesn't", or that first one where the father just outright says "ididn't realize how different it was until i played it". its like nintendo saying "... #21

So you must be one ofthose ps4 fanboys #9.1.1

quick question... would wii2 have been a better name in your opinion? I personally find nothing confusing about the addition of the U behind wii standing as a new console. I'm sure many casuals, which nintendo is no longer targeting specifically, might make a foolish mistake like that but no gamer, which is nintendos current focus, would make that mistake. just like we understand the 3 before ds means a new ds or an i after it. Is nintendo horribly wrong for not using a number because tha... #1.1.1

@tultras... yeah you're totally right, cause the kinect and move weren't rip-offs off wii. and ms would've came up with illumiroom without ever having the kinect. #1.2.2

you're a "grown up" PLAYING video games, but one video game about fighting crime isn't as "grown up" as the other video game about fighting crime cause what... they don't use grown up words? lol you oxy moron #17.1

sorry but bioshock was your only noteworthy mention, great game finished it. now i be on my monster hunter shit hunter shit and i show you how todo this thang #suitandtiemelody #11.2.1
