His opening post in the thread talks about how Nintendo games are getting more and more childish but follows it up by saying that the new 3ds game is not for children so that is bad, then goes on to say that the tablet of the wii-u is awful and that it's never needed yet complains that it can run out of batteries... The statements are contradictions on themselves and really do just invite people pointing that out imo I guess it depends what way you take his original statement since that was what set the tone for most of the very negitive replies he has gotten during this thread.

Differing opinions is 1 thing, but critisizing a company for having more childish games and in the same line critisize them for having a non childish game... then it's just a damned if they do, damned if they don't attitude towards Nintendo and there is no room or reason to debate.

@bold. You misunderstood him. He said that adult games like Tamodachi are also marketed to children. He was supporting his point that Nintendo games are alienating non-children.

His argument that the U tablet is aweful is complementary to the batteries issue, it's compounded actually, no contradiction there. Every reaction in the thread was based on overly sensitive predispositions, and that's not right. Your 2nd paragraph is therefore invalid.

I'm a Nintendo fan, and I disagree with most of his points, but I'm not going to let a hoard of Nintendo fans be rude to a polite user. Sorry.

I think most people are reacting badly because in his opinion they should throw out pretty much every aspect of the Wii-U it would be like going into a thread about the X1 and saying what they need to do with it would be change it to be 100euros and remove it's ability to play Xboxone games and make it a 360, because Xbox360s sold so that would be the way forwards, do you not think that would... while technically being correct as a statement would just be a slap in the face to the company as a whole and is just writing off their newest console.

Iwata has a battle ahead of him to sell the wii-u to people and to make it appealing to them, but massive leaps backwards is not the way to go, for casual gamers the only difference between the Wii and Wii-U is that tablet, they literally couldn't give a toss what resolution their version of angry birds trilogy is running at, you can't expect non gamers to seek the same progressional upgrades that gamers do when it comes to technology.

As for the bold part of what you said, if you're referring to me as a part of that horde I think I've spent maybe 1hour on my 3ds over the last 2 months since getting PSN+ on my vita and my Wii watches sadly as I beat the life outta people in UltraStreetfighter4... sorry bit ranty but I'm not a fan of my posts being written off as nintendo fanboyism when I'd personally love if the 3DS stopped violating my beloved Vita worldwide :D I just reactly badly to his posts because I thought they were rubbish, sorry if it came off as fanboy defense to you.
