Hahaha! Cant really argue with that one 
Things that need to die in 2016: Defeatist attitudes of Nintendo fans
| superchunk said: I fucking love Nintendo. I love them so much I'd move my whole family to Seattle for a job there that didn't increase my standard of living at all. Just so I could work for Nintendo. I've owned every single home console and will continue to own their console for so long as they produce them. Day one every time from here on out baby. (Thank you quality education and good job) However, who the hell thought it was a smart idea to go on a core gaming show that will ONLY be viewed by major core gamers and show a damn grandpa monkey to a game we've known about for over half a year?! Those executives are completely nuts. DKCTF will be another great game Nintendo makes and will only make 2014 an even richer year for Wii U owners. However, its not a system seller by any means and definitely not a game type to appeal to more than 10% of VGX viewing crowd. That game will NOT get any of those viewers to buy a Wii U. It simply won't. I an understand not showing an actual new game at VGX. Save those for other big occasions or even Nintendo Directs. However, show a damn game that would appeal to the audience you're presenting too. There is no hope for Wii U at this point. Great games for me and other Nintendo gamers, but nothing to bring in the masses. What game do you think Nintendo should have shown? |
No announcement they made could save that crap show. They are saving the good stuff for a direct this month or a epic one next month.

So you want Nintendo to stop making their samey games and start making the samey games that the other guys make? Brilliant. |
Well if those are the kind of games I like and Wii U isn't likely to have them ( Note: They do have one in Bayonetta 2, I would like to see more ), then why would I pick Wii U over the other consoles that have them in abundance?
It has been confirmed: 2014 will be the year of Cranky
| torok said: For me, their latest great console was N64. Good exclusives, decent third party support and a balanced hardware with good price. If they hadn't put a cartridge slot it could have even had a good fight with the PS1. Wii U should be a powerful console with XB1/PS4 hardware using x86 processors and a regular controller selling for 400 bucks.... |
I don't think it would have faired better releasing a yeat earlier at that price point. If it had released at the same time and was as powerful as the Super HD Twins it might have done better with a fine blend of Nintendo exclusives and versions of the hottest multiplats.
Didn't wanted to comment on this thread early because then i'll keep getting the urge to read more of the idiotic comments. The Donkey Kong announcement was considered by worst possible scenario by Nintendo fans and even worse by Sonysoft gamers.
On the contrary, it was one of the best showings any game had on the travesty of a web show. I didn't even realize that they couldn't get enough ratings to air on a 3rd rate channel such as Spike Tv and ended up hiring a host that was more disinterested in the whole thing more than all of us combined.
You bet i would be up in arms and making threads like Curl 6 and Super Chunkyman, if they wasted a big reveal like next Zelda on this pile of mediocrity that was VGX. So thank god for Nintendo's incompetence in understanding hard core gamers who couldn't collectively get together to give the show enough ratings over the years.
Here is some gifs for your ammusement that sum up VGX and most of you "hardcore" gamers business mindset.
Edit: Oh yea. Props to Sony for not showing up. Kaz would be embarrased.
| Metallicube said: Soooo, the fact that Nintendo had a uninspiring reveal at a terrible awards show watched mainly by a small demographic of 13-17 year old nerds and dude bros.. THAT is what makes you lose faith in the Wii U? Lol why do you guys put so much stock into such a joke of an award show like VGX. I seriously felt embarrsed when I tried to watch the show.. and I was alone. Anyway, I see Nintendo's reveal as showing off more of DKC, not merely putting all focus on Cranky. And considering DKC is one of my all time favorite franchises, that is not a bad thing. The game looks far more interesting than 90% of the generic cinema-heavy garbage I saw. And cranky actually looks badass as a playable character! You can freaking bounce on your cane across spikes for god's sake! What more do you want? |
I think Nintendo needs all the sales it can get, including that "small demographic of 13-17 year old", and it could had prepared a better message aimed to them. Cranky for DKC: TF looks like fun, but I don't think it was the proper announcement for the public.
i quite like the sound of cranky kong,didn't see any of vgx though

Xenoblade. |
I think Xenoblade is a great game and a good franchise that complies with the requisites mentioned above, that is why I think that not showing a trailer of X with more details was the big mistake of Nintendo, it would been a great opportunity.
