Despite always disagreeing with Rol over his lack of vision (360 kinect won't eat wii sales?), Rol is a hundred times smarter than Mal.

Mal is an old school fanboy, and an overeager student of disruption.

I said it two years ago that Nintendo was not properly disrupting. They were expanding, sure, but they were missing the key tenets of disruption which is the "sword and shield". Mal tried his best to make it seem like Nintendo had them, but they didn't.

Off topic, I know, but don't compare Rol to Mal.

Kinect didn't eat into Wii sales. Suppose the Wii existed in a vacuum, its sales would have gone down dramatically in 2011 regardless. That's the course of life for consoles that have their release schedule drying up.

Well, I'll just have to trust you that 360 gaining a sales boost relative to the wii decline is purely coincidence.

"a totally new side-scrolling action Super Mario in 2D"

It'll probably turn out to be Yoshi's island.



Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

I doubt it. They will most likely release a NSMB for the 3DS this Holiday season so the 3DS will pummel the VITA over Christmas. Thats probably their plan.

Donkey Kong Country 3D please


Fuck yes.

2D DKC with 3D "elements" would be the shit.



Vita needs Monster Hunter.

I really hope this doesn't mean they are taking away material from the already-being-developed nsmb for Wii U.

My feeling is that this was a fallback plan if 3d mario didn't do well, meaning they didn't originally have a 2d title planned

I don't get this. 3D Land is doing fucking fantastic - so I doubt it's a "fallback" plan.

I'm notorious for misunderstanding things, tho.

It's not a fallback plan. Nintendo said themselves that SM3DL was doing good. The DS had SM64DS and then they came out with NSMB, they always do it.

Like I said before they probably are meaning a NSMB title. They want to win this Holiday over too. XD
