Was the news interesting and did it have anything to do with Wii U?

You know full well that a better tweet would've been "interesting PS3/360 news tomorrow".

Two things to point out:
1. He's right. This is progressing a lot like the 3DS launch. Remember all those games that got cancelled?
2. Early dry release spells are usually not indicative of future first and third-party support.

Which brings me to something I've said before. The only thing that would make me worried about Wii U this year is an abysmal holiday line-up.

F*ck you, Rich.
And yes, Wii U is irrelevant. People won't waste their money to play Nintendo Land and the second NSMB in the year.

If somebody pulled a stunt like that here, don't you think they'd get a lot of flak about it?

Hell, he has been getting a lot of flak for it, but do you think, on the whole, it would be judged as acceptable user behavior?

insulting the guy because he wrote a doom article on video game system is kinda of extreme.

This is better, no need to get into "we're are the point where Nintendo fans dadada". Ok? :)

Well, sarcasm aside I don't think that's what the article was saying though. The article mentioned that Nintendo missed the boat on backwards compatibility and VC offerings, and that that missed opportunity was not a good thing in the U's current situation because the U is not supported by 3rd parties. He does believe that the old standbys will rescue the system but it will be a bit too late. However, he also mentioned that Nintendo has been using its cash reserves to grow its studios so the whole 1st party support system has radically changed since the cube days. To be able to support two 3D platforms simultaneously, and adequately is a very difficult task. Right now the 3DS just got a new Fire Emblem game. If you saw that game, it looks very very good and that's a 3DS game.. It's not even on the U. So Nintendo has the task of garnishing its U and its 3DS which is a big job. In the meantime they also have the e-shop and Nintendo will support the U's shop. Ultimately by the time the stanbys come out Nintendo would be able to support the U all by themselves much better than it even dreamed of in the cube days. As of Iwata they have engineered their development lifeline to pump out game after game to support their systems it is quite amazing actually. Having said that, whatever advantage Nintendo may had been hoping from 3rd party support is seeing some difficulty as the exodus of Legends suggests, per the article. I think it's a fair point, but I also think Nintendo will do a much better job than Sony in garnishing their systems (3DS and U) with mega-sellers.

With their track-record I'm surprised you'd doubt that. Numbers don't lie.

Yeah, because VGChartz is exactly the place where people jump to conclusions and get pissed off at the least little thing. Tell me what he did wrong. He said it was interesting news regarding the Wii U. A Wii U exclusive has been delayed and on top of that, moved to competing consoles.

He never said it was positive. He never said it was negative. Its not his fault that so many people assumed it was something positive.

I dont know how you dare question if this would have been okay on VGC after what youve said in this thread. "Bastard". "Idiot". "Poisonous weed" that should be "liquidated". His existance "isnt worth a damn".

Hes a Nintendo writer and the Nintendo version is getting delayed. It was a Nintendo exclusive. Its bigger news regarding Nintendo than it is regarding PlayStation or Xbox. It would have been better for him to say "bad news" or indeed what you said... But nothing he said was wrong.

It wasn't the article itself, it was how he announced it. Big difference.

yea that was just stupid, but calling the guy a bastard and wishing for him to be on the street is extreme no matter what way you put it, especially when your a mod. i wouldn't insult a person over a what he says about a video game system but i guess some people have strong attachments.
