Americans cloned Miyamoto confirmed?



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

This just proves how "nintendoish" is Rare.

It's good to have games from both worlds.

So its pretty much confirmed that 360 avatars are not knock offs of the mii avatars.  I wonder what they are goina do with them next?

Depends on how you look at it.  Nintendo started working on Miis around 20 years ago.

the avatars are horrible

they seem designed for hip indie rock kids or something

the hip hop, business and other types of clothes are awful, the selection in general is horrible

also the poses really are effeminate.

i like em, but at the same time i hate them.



Last year's game of the year turned out to be Silent Hill : Shattered Memories (online GOTY was COD 6).  This year's GOTY leader to me is Heavy Rain.

How off topic are you? My main point was tht they work on other games for other MS studios. And have you seen the Fable 2 reviews? And you critize it for not being able to die? Why do you want to die? I can give a number to a suicide helpline if you want. People just restart the game if they die, so there's no point of putting it in the game.
