Why did they make a one minute and 18 second video to explain something that A: no one would ever care about and B: is completely explained by the title of the video

A: People would care about it

B: I agree it's stupid. They've turned their channel into Laura's Twitter feed.

Kirkhope and Wise are both good. I think Kirkhopes style is probably more appropriate for a Mario or Rabbids game.

Furthermore, Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of the Wii U's established hardware versus the new hardware of the Ps4, but I was talking more in terms of gameplay. The Ps4 was when games made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the console experience to a more fully realised idea of console games as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two consoles approached action games. The Wii U gives us Splatoon - colourful, simple, cartoony. Gaming equivalent of candy. The Ps4 gives us Knack. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no game before it could have been. Gamings ambrosia.

There's been plenty of news. The patents basically spelled out exactly what's in the joycons and dock, lots of games have been leaked, the exact processor has more or less been leaked(though the specifics are still vague and it doesn't quite line up with the need for an internal fan), the type of wifi(good kind) it uses and voltage operation has been found out through the FCC application, virtual console details have leaked. Letails about various ports have been deaked.

I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Eh, that doesn't work. Or only if Frank used his alcoholism-powers to build a giant mountain of wealth before drinking most of it away. Most alcoholics don't get so lucky, though. That would be a nice idea, though: Consule producers as mad alcoholics. What kind of drinks would Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo be addicted too, I wonder? And of course Sega before he got clean.

WWHD added a Fast Sail that you can buy that will automatically change the wind direction to whatever you are facing as you sail (+ goes faster than the regular's max speed), the Triforce Hunt is shortened drastically (most of the triforce maps you find are now just the piece itself) and the camera is rebalanced so you get the colored version right away and you can hold way more pictures (nine, I think).

Both have some wallet improvements and the texture work is improved.

In addition to what others have said, WW HD adds the Tingle bottle which allows you to share posts and pictures you take in the game. You'll run into other player's tingle bottles while you play. It's pretty handy for finishing the Nintendo Gallery, since pictures you get from bottles can be used to get figurines.

It has to be less than $300 or it's insta-fail. Seems that $200 is where they should aim.

But it's Nintendo. $350 and another doomed console.
