The Kins posted:Yeah, uh, about that: Iwata won't be going to E3 this year due to unspecified health concerns. quote:"As always, he will be actively involved in all of Nintendo's activities at the show," a Nintendo representative said. But yeah, he won't be there in LA to answer questions from the US press so it's basically going to fall on Nintendo's puppet figurehead Reggie Fils-Aime to pretend that he has any control over anything and to do damage control if Nintendo fucks up this year.

icantfindaname posted:Lack of innovation in games has more to do with rising production budgets than financial support from a console. Especially considering basically no console besides the Wii in the 40 years they've existed has actually made money on its own rather than as a loss leader for game licensing. Nintendo's production budgets are already going up, this is why they're releasing fewer and fewer innovative titles as opposed to Mario Kart HD and Super Mario HD World How have you made it this far in life when you are this stupid?

If only he knew that the way to make some real money was to release Mario Themed Angry Bird.

I completely agree with the soulless part, but only if we are talking about your own drug and alcohol-addicted existence, and not Mario Kart 8.

honestly, I would be super happy for an nGuage (the n in this case would stand for ninty) pocket taco. Why carry two devices, when all I would need is a dog and bone and my Nintendo game playing device? This would be their ace in the hole; how much longer do you think they could actually survive with two failing consoles. Somewhat sad but its inevitable. Also, call me a whale all you want, I'd pay big bucks for easy shinys and enhanced EVs/IVs in Pokémon and I'm sure that I would not be the only one! :nignog:

Has this thread gone anywhere in the last one hundred pages? The reason why wii u isn't selling well isn't just because of mario kart 8 looking like a souless game that punshes good players on some random shmucks stream.

There's going to be plenty to talk about later this month. Nintendo's E3 event on Tuesday will be full of thread material, and the shareholder vote for Iwata's re-election shouldn't be long after.

MK8 is like the only thing that happened in the last two months so yeah. Also I contend that if you seriously complain about MK being unfair you are probably a wiener

David Gibson just tweeted about Iwata's Nintendo stock and salary. My wife and my combined income is actually more than what Iwata is paid in salary each year, which is frankly insane. Just a tiny amount for an executive of a huge multinational corporation. Though his stock is worth somewhere around 8.5 million, so he's still a wealthy man. It's just hard to believe how different executive pay is in some corporate cultures.

I'm guessing Mario Maker's just a small eShop title akin to NES Remix. I hope you can use tilesets from all across the series.
