lol very sorry Oniyide but your statements not only contradict one another they are completely out to lunch.

Firstly you argue Reggie is not on a leash and that Japan would have brought over Xenoblade and Last Story, but you claim that Japan made the decision to cut the 3DS price and not Reggie, hence saying he was not allowed to weigh in on the move and can't be given credit because he wasn't involved.

Well buddy how can he be held responsable for running NOA and not being on a leash if his decisions are made by Japan without his involvement?

You also forget that Nintendo's policies have not changed with regards to Japanese titles being brought to North America. Nintendo Japan specifically stated that EarthBound would not sell in North America, that was Nintendo's Japanese branch and it was supported by the President of NOA at the time as well. Several high profile Japanese games never made it to North America because Japan didn't think American's would buy them.

Today Nintendo's spokesman in Japan have made similar comments , though the majority have come from NOA. Fact is Reggie if he does have say is heavily influenced by Nintendo in Japan. The fact that Nintendo's position has not changed since NES in fact since arcade shows that the issue is not NOA rather Nintendo's top brass in Japan.

Yah because Nintendo Of America does nothing. I mean all the distribution deals, translations regional representations , Government interactions, localization. All of the interactions with the third parties in North America who have to work with NOA, or what about the hardware that comes from North America developed by IBM and such which all goes through NOA to Nintendo Japan.

Yah I mean Nintendo Of America does nothing completely worthless we should all just import our games and hardware from Japan. Learn to speak Japanese and give up all games and content from North America. Nintendo tried running operations from Japan it didn't work. North America is a bigger market then Japan and its operations in North America are far more important to the companies survival then any other place on earth besides maybe Kyoto.

Nintendo Of America is essential to Nintendo's survival and Reggie was hired to help Nintendo Of America regain its grip which it had in the 90's. Nintendo Of America needs greater independance if their is any hope of retaining control of the games industry! I stand by what I said Reggie needs at least three or four North American studios under his control, he needs marketing brought back internally and he needs the ability to make business decisions without Iwata vetoing them or reading a direct script from Nintendo Japan!

Mario 3D will be at least sqrt(Mario 2D) bigger than Mario 2D, pure and simple math, what's wrong with you? Even the upgrade to 4D, while offering the same absolute increase, will give a smaller relative one, as it will be cubic root(Mario 3D) bigger (that's still a Mario 1D increment, the same, ma smaller in ratio to Mario 3D than to Mario 2D). And this doesn't even take into account all the added value of all that drool on Reggie's humongous 5D chin!

We hold Nintendo to a different set of standards. It's unNintendo to criticize others.

My thoughts exactly. It's one thing that the Wii doesn't have that many games releasing at the moment, but the real comparison should be to the M+, and I dare say the Move and Kinect compare favorably.

Also I decided maybe I should speak on topic. Reggie did have a very valid point when he said Move and Kinect suffered from a lack of great software.

Move is reliant heavily on titles that can be played without it. Very few games have been made that utalize Move as the primary control system and even fewer are of high enough quality to consider worthy of a purchase of a Move controller, camera and Nav. Where are the games?

Kinect despite all the talk about Gunstringer etc...etc.. and how amazing they are. Dance Central is almost the only successful title on the device. Kinectimals and Kinect Sports did fairly well as well. However the majority of the software has failed on a massive scale and that is not because consumers are idiots its because the quality of the software and the experiances it offers are drastically inferior to the offerings of Nintendo , Move or even the classic control devices.

Reggie has a very good point because of the three companies Nintendo is the only one who actually invested its whole console in motion controls. Nintendo put its money where its mouth was, they created the first party AAA+ software to support the Wii and they gambled heavily not spreading their support between classic and motion.

Nintendo actually supported their motion controller. Say what you will but Microsoft nor Sony have actually put their might behind their motion controls. To them they are just another peripheral, Nintendo is going the route that motion control is the future and rather then spending money and resources on supporting the old control styles they are investing entirely in the future.

Reggie is going to be completely right about this till Microsoft and Sony put their full might behind their devices. Which they will not do, even if Microsoft continues with Kinect with their next console it will not replace the classic controller. Microsoft is incapable of creating a format that both offers an experiance that Nintendo/Sony does not while giving consumers the quality software that they require. Kinect can't replace controllers at least not in the foreseeble future. Move could very well replace the classic controller, but Sony doesn't have the balls to go all in. Sony tested the waters rather then jumping head first in, Sony realized that they could not give up the DualShock and compete with Nintendo and/or Microsoft. They are tied with the fact that neither Sony nor Microsoft can afford to drop their classic controller.

Nintendo is in a position where it can continue to innovate, create new control devices and offer new gaming experiances. A luxory that Microsoft and Sony do not have. Personally I understand exactly why Microsoft and Sony haven't thrown their full weight behind motion controls, but as long as they do not Reggie has a major point!

Move and Kinect are a year old now. When the Wii was a year old, Nintendo released Super Mario Galaxy. I don't see anything that good on Move or Kinect right now or coming up in the future. Just saying...

Reggie be trollin'

Always on the ball with anything anti-PS3

Cha Cha Cha!!!

But I agree with you, osama (Except Child of Eden is better with Kinect IMO).

Kinect and Move are in the same boat for software. The difference is that MS has encouraged some exclusive software support, or timed exclusive content, and Sony is more focused on using the Move to make other PS3 games playable with Move, or upscaling some Wii games.

Either Way, Reggie has no right to argue. Kinect has Just Dance 3 like Wii, PS3 is getting Resident Evil Chronicles HD Compilation, and both of them have Child of Eden, which Wii doesn't, and ontop of that both the PS3 and 360 still offer a vastly larger amount of non motion control based software (which is in reality what most Wii games are, non motion based).

so much fail and damage control in this one post 0_o how do you manage such a feat is beyond me..'slow clap'

few shocking info for you

1. Move and Kinect ARE peripherals! 'gasp' unlike Wii the whole console is built around motion controls.

2. Move has a lot of games that supports it. Look em up and get over that ignorance of yours. And games like KZ3 utilizes Move REALLY well. Wouldn't be surpirsed if Move had more games supporting it since launch than Ninty had for Motion plus. there ARE quality games as well, have you played games like Tumble? Echochrome 2? they are great great games

3. Kinect has a lot of games as well. Again look it up before ranting. Some of them are REALLY good as well. and sales, you are on vgc, go look it up. many games have sold really well. How many kinect games have you tried out? I can tell you now it has a lot of quality games already! and they are a lot of fun. so what games do you refer to when you mention 'inferior' games here? or are you just pulling that out of you know where?

4. You are all over the place with your essay above. You seem to mix up support for a console and peripheral. It's actually shameful that neither Motion plus nor the wii itself got any support anywhere near to that of Xbox+ kinect or Ps3 + move. what 'balls' you are talking about here, I have no idea. You mean the balls of dropping all good support for your console and rush next gen with a confusing clusterfuck of a presentation at E3...Ninty does have those balls in abundance these days. What decent games have your beloved system had this year prior to the holiday season? I bet you can count them in one hand...maybe 5 fingers will be too much for that task even.

5. Sony and MS have had different approaches to the system. They understand what their current fan base wants. They cater to it. We didn't have any operation dryfalls to beg for games (and get refused LOL)..we get them even without asking for them. Sony fans do NOT want Move to replace DS controller, and I hope they never does. Sony seems to understand this and hence why support for the peripheral and the console at the same time. Same goes for MS.

6. This rubbish about ninty is in a place to innovate but ms and sony is not is just bullocks. 0_o I'm not even sure what that stupid statement means or what reasons you have behind it. MS and Sony have brought a lot of things to gaming arena as well, some areas where Ninty are lagging behind pathetically. Case in point, Online gaming. The only 'place' ninty seems to be is a place of desperation and stupid remarks such as what's wrong with you these days. Or a home console that does something similar to Ipad (a better version I'm sure since that's what the whole console is about)

I personally understand why you are blind to the reality and worship Nintendo. ...actually no i don't. considering the support wii is getting from them I would imagine any sensible person would be at least annoyed with them. But nope..why? no idea whatsoever

I'll quote this because it seems to be ignored.  Yes Reggie is right that Nintendo has put more effort behind their motion controls than Sony or MS, but they're comparing an entire console to a peripheral.  A better comparison would be how Nintendo supported their own peripherals like Wii Motion + or the Balance Board, which leaves them a lot more like Sony and MS in my eyes.
