Hey you have to hand it Malstrom, he was right about Nintendo's mistakes the past year

If you mean pointing out the lacking lineup, who wasn't? If you mean the mythical "Nintendo user-generated content era", I say uh?

@Yushire: Metroid Dread? We're getting freaking Other M next year and it'll be a throw back to the old style Metroids.

Actually, its not that impossible and its certainly not that expensive. As of now this generation alone we have THREE and I mean THREE main mario in three years. So its not that impossible. Besides, im not hyped about Metroid other M, Team ninja makes me shivers.

@puffy
As is evident by his threads and statements, the guy is living in some kind of other world that is not our own. Don't waste your breath (well, keyboard).

 

On topic: Who is Maelstrom and why should I care what he thinks or doesn't think? Since I have to ask, i probably shouldn't.

What, you keep stating things that go contrary to what is going on in that little thing we call reality and I'm not allowed to comment on it?

Of course, he is not living in your own world, he even pointed that out at the beginning of the post.

Actually he was probably right about that too, it really seems like Nintendo ended up canceling a lot of stuff to have a year with so few releases, and it explains why they showed off the vitality sensor without any software

Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

He's still putting too much emphasis on UGC. Yeah, they put out a UGC game in hopes that it would carry the console, but the problem is that they didn't hedge that bet at all, aside from Animal Crossing.
