I disagree. According to some thread someone random posted the Wii U is getting a new FPS. I believe it fully and trust that it will push the Wii U to new limits. Instead of selling 2 consoles a week, they'll sell 10.

I'm not for firing him, but I don't understand why he's in charge of NOA. Put a freaking 'merican in charge, dammit. You know, someone who is actually here and has a shot of understanding the pulse of the people and the market.

NOA hasn't had any creative control over anything since 2000 when Arakawa/Lincoln retired. Iwata has consolidated all power through him, NOA is just a puppet shell now that has no say in Nintendo policy making. 

It's kinda sad because NOA really saved Nintendo's bacon in the 1990s, without the Rare acquistion which was Howard Lincoln's baby, it's very likely the SNES would have sold a fair bit less because DKC was the game that really powered the system and the N64 would've died outright without support from Rare (particularily GoldenEye which carried the console for like an entire year until Zelda OoT was finally ready). 

Howard Lincoln, that's the guy's name. That's exactly who I had in mind when I typed the earlier post. I read all about his tenure with NOA and some quotes some time ago, and man, that guy kicked metric tons of ass. That's the kind of NOA and leadership I'd like to see return.
