What a big waste of time. It's clear that Nintendo is simply incapable of developing HD titles. X maybe won't make this year and it was announced last year. Zero information on Yarn Yoshi and SMTxFE. No new titles. Instead, waste the time with NES Remix.

Again DK, and god knows how much I hate that game because Iwata waste time every ND showing it. I can understand for Pikmin 3 because the last one was so many years but if they expect people will go in droves to just play with Cranky or Dixie Kong then that explains the very low Wii U sales.

I was prepared to be dissapointed, but not as much. Congrats Nintendo, you can go lower than I imagine.


They are pushing Donkey Kong hard because the DKCR on Wii sold 6+ million and DKCR 3D sold 1.2 million.    Stop acting like Donkey Kong is some tiny franchise.  You can't blame low Wii U sales on Donkey Kong at all until DK actually comes out.    If it doesn't help the console then, then it is fair but I have a feeling it is going to give a very good boost.  

No. They are pushing DK as it is the only game they find worth to push in this droughty months and expects a miracle. It is time for them to understand that bigger franchises didn't help the console and DK is not going to be the one enough to generate more sales.

It was since the beggining a terrible mistake to announce as the big Retro project. It was rejected more than acepted. It caused a general letdown more than hype. And hype sales consoles, just look at the PS4. They find funny to announce Cranky Kong as the only noteworthy news.

They were good the last year. Two Zelda announcement, a remake and the original. A crossover, SMTxFE. A Yoshi game, Yarn Yoshi. X announcement.

We cannot expect them to announce new games? Then where's Zelda U? Metroid? Animal Crossing? F-Zero, Starfox, Endless Ocean, Sin and Punishment, new IPS, old IPS?

Nintendo simply doesn't know what the are doing and sales proves it.

Just stop.  Donkey Kong was the right choice.    DKCR sold 6.1 million.    Metroid Prime 1,2, and 3 combined sold 5.8 million.  I love Metroid but it is a small beans franchise when compared to Donkey Kong.  SIn and Punishment sold 400k on Wii.    Nintendo last year released Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101 (New IP, fans apparently really want new IP's.....) and made Wind Waker HD, all of which were things the fans have been wanting and none did jack squat for the console.  Donkey Kong will have a bigger impact then all 3 of those combined.     Just stop kidding yourself.   Nintendo tried too hard to please the fanboys and it blew up in their face, just like the Gamecube.  Now they are going to make more mainstream games and thats exactly what they should do.
