All this Nintendo doom and gloom news is so annoying now. Slaves to fashion ...



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


Nintendo will never die!!!

I know it's ex-Sony but they still aren't really showering themselves in a good light. If the Vita could keep going, so can Wii U. All systems are out now and it's got the space, and I don't see that changing.


To be fair to him, after a year on the market (including 1 holiday season) Vita had sold ~300k in the UK.  After a year on the market (including 1 holiday season), Wii-U will have sold ~200k in the UK (although that figure appears to be closer to 150k since we have it overtracked here).

So in the same timeframe, Wii-U has sold 50% of what Vita has sold.   And Vita is a platform which has massively, massively struggled to find relevance in the market (and has pretty much failed outside a niche in Japan).  

Since the guy making the comments is British, at least I can find some semblance of thought to his comments at least in reference to the UK.  Vita already isn't on shelves in major supermarkets (Tesco seem to have dropped it completely).  Doesn't spell well for Wii-U.

Of course, I'm not agreeing with him.  It'll obviously see another Christmas.  What capacity it'll still see a retail presence during that Christmas here in the UK though is questionable.

(If he'd just kept his argument to that, I could've empathised with him more.  The comments about cancelling projects seem a bit naff and from thereon it gets a bit more ridiuclous.  If there's one thing Iwata is shown, it's that he'll be incredibly stubborn about Wii-U, so I can't see any situation where that will happen).



I would LOVE for Nintendo to abandon the Wii and home consoles in general. Then they can start making games for the real next gen consoles and maybe even PC and we can all just enjoy the regular outpouring of MArio and Zelda.

I'm done with all the bull shit! I don't care if anybody else buys a Wii U or not anymore! I've got mine and I'm going to support it till the end. If me and a handful of people throughout the world are the only ones who get to enjoy games like Super Mario 3d World from here on out then more power to us! It seems more people spend more time in these god foresaken forums then they do actually playing video games! So here's how it goes....Fuck you! Fuck you! You're cool! And fuck you I'm out! Peace!!!!!



"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."

'No promise, but its highly likely to happen. Base on the fund Nintendo losing, they'll be unable to continue Wii U factory built.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

Ok.. now this is really getting ridiculous


So... people are making news about a guy from an irrelevant dead development team writing a single post among hundreds, that apper among the dozens of threads of a single website like Neogaf.

It´s like me writing here: Vita is bullshit ..........and then someone publishes in a blog: Storekeeper and contracts manager from Brazil Rogerio Andrade, which has previously worked as a videogame seller in a now closed shop at Pagé gallery, stated that Vita is bullshit. And then people start to peplicate it as news.

Heck. There are dozens and dozens of people on neogaf with different opinions. It´s tottally irrelevant pick one of them at random and making news of it. It´s not even worth discussing



what can i say... nintendo is one of the most hated companies on the internet, same with apple. but forums are like 1% of the gaming world...



34 years playing games.
