Bold and big letters. Shit just got real.

I like it :) It whips me back in place. *Ouch!



Around the Network

1. When Nintendo brings in new studios, it helps elevate their talent. If you think Platinum makes awesome games now, think of how good it would be under Nintendo's watch and with the singular focus of only developing for Nintendo's hardware.

2. Yeah, Platinum's games don't sell, but (1) they usually keep making new IPs aimed at niche markets and (2) their games don't get a ton of marketing as it is. With Nintendo not only would they get more attention from the Nintendo faithful, but they'd likely be put on some projects involving major Nintendo IPs as well, like Star Fox. It's been forever since we've had a legitimate, ass-kicking Star Fox... :(

3. Nintendo needs more studios. Nintendo needs studios with HD experience. Nintendo needs to pump out more games so it won't be so reliant on third parties. Nintendo needs more games appealing to the hardcore demographic Reggie talked about winning back, back in 2011. Platinum can help with all of this.

4. As another poster said earlier, Platinum has made Nintendo-esque games before, so it wouldn't be a new concept. As Clover, it made Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2 and Okami (my favorite Zelda game on the Wii). Oh, and a little game called The Wonderful 101. SO it's not like they can ONLY make hard games with mature content.

You mean he annoys you. That isn't trolling. That is just you not liking his posts. 

The point of trolling is to annoy people.


But not all comments that annoy people are trolling. Think about that.

Annoying posts with an agenda behind them... probably.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Hmmm. Well, pics can say more than a 1000 words so I'll just leave you with this one:

Yeah. But in the intersection, you only have "annoyance". Whether it's by intent or unintentional, annoyance is the intersect.

On the right, you have intentional annoyance. So what that means is that if Khan was annoyed like you say, it can be one of two options.

I'll leave that up to you to figure out what the two options are.

You're not thinking it enough.

After the performance of W101 and soon to be Bayonetta will Nintendo be interested?

While I do like Platinum games, I have to agree with you. W101 sold horrible first week.

It will depend on the performance bayonetta brings. I think reasonably they should be happy about 500K lifetime sales. It sold more on Ps3 and X360, but WiiU has no big install base at the moment, so 500K should be the target.

"Nintendo needs new Ips"
"OMG W101 bombed worldwide based on sales in 1 region."
Clearly the only reason you ask for new Ips is to troll their sales numbers.
Why people calling it a bomb aren't being banned for trolling is beyond me.
Its clearly against the rules to act like 1 regions sales are worldwide sales because tis a comment made with no basis or merit.



Well duh, its the only way they'll stay in business lol

Honestly I think I think PS4/X1 are going to have a major deficit of japanese games. Platinum could fill that void quite easily, making their AA-budget games at a much faster rate thanks to the more powerful hardware.

Firstly, for some reason my phone wont let me remove quote trees. Sorry 'bout that.

Secondly, if he does have an agenda then his actions here are no different than your own actions from a few months ago regarding EA. You had an agenda behind every EA post, which you made very clear. He may have an agenda, but even then, there was nothing wrong at all with his post.

You cant moderate based on assumptions, because a post annoys you.

Edit - Quote tree snipped!
