Iwata should also never do a Nintendo Direct again, ever. At least for the US, just let Reggie do them.

Yeah, even with all the good announcements Sony had guys like Boyes and that newcomer guy couldn't escape the awkwardness factor being onstage at points. At least in a digital event when you announce something underwhelming you aren't required to stand on stage for five seconds waiting for an applause that only happens because the audience can see you're waiting for them to applaud. If Tretton was still around he would have probably flooded the theater hall from nerve-induced sweat.

Yeah I think Nintendo's presentation was a lot better because there was no live audience. You had on-screen subtitles, and you got something that wasn't just a dude talking. In general, the less dude talking you have, the better.

Keep him, if only for the "directly to you" beginning. I do like hearing from the developers themselves. It's great to hear from people legitimately passionate about their work.

He technically hasn't been in a Direct in any sort of speaking role since the one preceding the last three we've had. Since then we've only seen him in spirit (Smash Direct), Mii form (Tomodachi Direct), and anime fighting form (E3 Direct).

This makes me wonder if his health issues (that prevented him from attending E3) have anything to do with that :ohdear:

The Wind Waker bundle has been $300 since like forever, if you pay more than that you're getting ripped off. But it's a great bundle because Wind Waker is a great game, and absolutely gorgeous to look at.

The best deals are the $200 refurbished deluxe model from Nintendo directly or the Mario Kart Bundle because you get a free game with Mario Kart, which you can use for Windwaker.

Where do you get a free game with the Mario Kart bundle, I'm looking at amazon right now and don't see that.

you register it with club nintendo (there should be a slip with a code in the MK box) or if you buy it digitally i think it does it automatically.

Achievements are overrated anyway. Back in my day we played games because it was fun and didn't need some popup telling us we accomplished something. :bahgawd:

And maybe not a new Gamecube, but something akin what M$ and Sony are making, a powerful HD system with a traditional and sane gamepad, no stupid gimmicks like the Wiimote.

Hmm. THe Wii U is HD, powerful, and has a traditional and quite good gamepad, plus much better 'gimmick' controllers than the similar but much worse offerings Microsoft and Sony tried. Are you a blind dead retard?

Nintendo doing the same thing as Microsoft and Sony and making extremely user-friendly PC's without any of the manufacturing benefits those companies have that makes the process cheaper/easier does not seem like a good idea, at all!

Before the PS4 and Xbox One came out, people said that the WiiU had squandered their year long lead. But now the WiiU has good games and the Xbox One and PS4 won't until like, holiday 2015.

So I guess people thought the WiiU was exceptionally bad, but all the new consoles are poo poo for a year and a half after release.

The PS4 and X-Box One will have a shitload of games this holiday season. Not that many exclusives but a shitload of games.

In October alone the PS4 will have:

Skylanders (for kids, but kids buy poo poo)
Alien: Isolation
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Driveclub
Shadow of Mordor
Tropico 5
NBA 2K15
NBA Live 15
Evolve
Samurai Warriors 4
Just Dance 2015
Evil Within
Assassin's Creed: Unity
WWE 2K15

and probably other stuff to be announced.

To put that into perspective:
The PS4 has more big-name titles coming out on October 7th by itself than the Wii U has for the rest of the year.

Not every game on that list is going to turn out to be good but enough are that it still dwarfs the Wii U's output.

Who gives a poo poo about output, the WiiU has more good exclusive games than the PS4 or the Xbox One(exclusive also counting games that are shared by the latter two but not the former) and probably will continue to do so for awhile. Eventually the PS4 will almost definitely surpass The WiiU, and The XBoX One might as well because it's gonna share so many titles with the PS4. But The WiiU is the better console right now, and will still be for awhile.

The fact is not every Xbox One and PS4 release is going to get a PC release. So you're going to have to make a choice between PS4 and Xbox One for a good number of games. For example Kingdom hearts will never get a digital release on Steam unless hell freezes over.

And you can tout the Wii-U exclusives but they didn't bother to show all the excusive Atlus/Sega games that are coming to the PS3 and PS4. Sony's primary strength has always been the second and third parties and Atlus is a pretty big one.

"coming to"

You stupid shits, I already said the PS4 will eventually be the better console. And you can't count PS3 games in the PS4's favor, because it's not backwards compatible. But the WiiU is. So if you include all the good titles from the Wii's catalog, it's take even longer for the PS4 to have a better line-up than the WiiU.

It's number 1 draw are the sports games. Like there was an even split last gen between the 360 and PS3, but it's now like 70-80% of sports people who have a ps4 and hardly anyone for the Xbox one.

New PS3 games are still being made in the year 2014 and the year 2015.

No new Wii games have been made in over a year now.
