RUMOR: Wii U Launch Date Leaked

No, not serious at all. Also hiring people from Crytek and Vigil. Nothing serious.

As some say "A product is more than its parts" or rather in this context... even if they were at <studio>, it doesn't it'll result in an equally amazing game... There are enough examples that prove this.

To be sure. But You don't bring in these people to clean your toilets either. Or if you're not serious at all, bring in nobody, hire no one, do nothing...

However, we are talking about them bringing on technology directors and hardware specialists. I'd say that's being pretty serious.

Look, I've been consistently disappointed by Nintendo for 2 console generations in a row now. Forgive me for being cautious about getting excited.

Cautious is one thing but you tend to be flippant regarding them. Even when it's a positive move, you go straight for the negative.

They've repeatedly reinforced my flippant attitude. I think the last straw was Twilight Princess. That was the last Nintendo thing that I bought into the hype of, and how wrong I was to do so. Maybe if this was 6 years ago, you'd have a point, but as it stands, Nintendo has actively cultivated this attitude of mine.

I actually wanted to write some more in my last post, but I somehow forgot it^^ and now I don't know what I wanted to write anymore.

Of course I'm the only person you know who doesn't like those games. You're probably acquainted with a lot of other devoted-to-the-point-of-being-blind Nintendo followers, who happily accept the sub-par systems and mediocre games Nintendo shovels out. I used to be like that, about 10 years ago or so. I never even owned a non-Nintendo console until about 2003. But then I opened my eyes, and now I can no longer overlook the mistakes Nintendo not only continues to make, but actually strives to make. What's their excuse anytime someone asks why there's still text-based dialogue in Zelda games, rather than voice acting? Crap about Link being interpreted differently by different players and whatever. Well that's fine for Link, but what about all the other characters in the games? Why can't they be voiced? Bioshock 1& 2 both have silent protagonists and talking NPCs. They could even still have the dialogue captioned in text, to keep it more storybook-esque (another one of their excuses). That's how Fallout 3/NV did it. Maybe it's because of their inferior hardware? Well that's another shitty decision on their part, so they're still at fault.


My hate for Mario Galaxy does not stem from the bee suit, that's just one example of what I hate about it. I own Super Mario Galaxy. Played it for about 5-10 hours. I also own Twilight Princess. Played it for longer than that, and beat it. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about.

I was going to say out of your debate until I read that. Seriously? You think they keep Link and the other NPC's voice actor free because of the hardware limitations? I mean it's not like Nintendo didn't have voice acting as far back as the N64 or anything.

I said maybe that's a reason. I know I've heard other people offer that excuses while trying to defend them. Why don't you tell me what the reason is then, rather then telling me what it isn't?
