Bad news for those who were waiting for the June meeting to see how large the drop in confidence investors had in Iwata was:

Oppose: 218,960
Approval Rating: 77.26%

Iwata, 2014:
Approve: 777,999
Oppose: 169,240

It went up three percent.

All of Nintendo's bad decisions were because of the growth on Iwata-sama's bile duct, and now its been removed.

Neat, and his actual vote total went up too which is nice but I see a big missing chunk too. Was that from the stock buy-back?

Nintendo's E3 presentation. Reggie and Iwata are, for all intents and purposes, in Smash insomuch as Miis are in Smash and you can make anyone into a Mii. That was actually a large part of the presentation.

The most we got last year was a soundtrack for a game which already had an available soundtrack as a platinum reward. Compare to Japan, which got Days of Ruin fully in its native language for the very first time.



Don't expect much.

The best Club Nintendo prize I can remember was the Mario hat. Last year were the cards, no? Before that the Majora's Mask soundtrack, and before that something really stupid?

Everyone should play DUKE games.

:dukedog:
You had to choose between the Mario Hat or a WiiWare version of Punch-Out!! for the Wii that is just a single fight against Doc. The hat isn't even really wearable though, even including a disclaimer that says the hat is fun to hold while taking pictures indoors with your friends, wish I was joking.

The best prizes were when it first started out though. The very first one remember was the Zelda Collector's Edition. This was before app stores, DLC and stuff existed at all on consoles and handhelds so getting Zelda/Zelda 2/Ocarina/Majora's Mask on one disk was insane. The other cool one they had was the Metroid Prime 2 demo disk with all the Metroid timeline stuff on it, though this one later got mass released as a pack-in with Metroid Prime itself and was also included with Gamecubes that had Metroid Prime bundled with it. Legend of Zelda Collector's Edition did come out as well though as part of a Gamecube bundle with it and Wind Waker in one package (iirc only Wal-Mart carried this).

Man I hope it's a soundtrack, pretty much all of the recent Nintendo games I can think of have great music.

At the same time that would be pretty pointless as all of the music is just up on Youtube or whatever buuuuuut

Vib Ribbon? It was an incredibly obscure PSX game that their new president or whatever brought up out of nowhere. It was literally "hey remember this sweet niche game we made 15 years ago? Me too. Good times."

But nobody expects a new Vib Ribbon game, so it was just odd.

Why would anyone want a new Vib Ribbon game, it looked like it was 20 years old when it came out and other games have done the "procedurally generated levels based on music tracks" thing much better since then.

Well, I think the idea was the brand new president was trying to show his street cred by saying he was the guy that gave the OK for Vib Ribbon to be made. Which is cool and all... but it was kind of a blue balls, because he didn't announce another cool quirky game. He just said, "check out what I did in the past, see ya!"

No one cares whether you bought a Wii U, or have a general fondness of terrible gaming products. Fact is: The Wii U is an unmitigated flop; apparently Nintendo's executives aren't "smart businessmen".

Obviously, Nintendo's upcoming and half-finished-at-release fitness gimmick will save the company!

"EA Electronics" had a high rating on Amazon, so I thought it was safe. Let's hope it arrives here soon.

no one cares if people are suddenly buying the WiiU at quadruple the previous rate, we have already decided it is a flop and nothing can save it now!!!
