I'm gonna buy a hard drive that has a paintable outside surface, and I'll hand-paint it to look like it matches my Nintendo Juicy, striving to make it look like an official, Nintendo-made accessory. I might even put Pokemon stickers all over it, even though I don't really feel particularly strong about Pokemon.

Because it means developers can't expect that all users will have large storage options, so most games won't support it. PS3 is the only system this generation where most games install bits to hard drive in order to speed the game up because of that fact, for example.
No stickers man. You geting it wrong, not official enough.
It has to be all white and clean, then cut out your self a stencil saying Wii U. After you have to put the stencil on hard-drive firmly and rub grey paint evenly with a cotton all over the stencil. You then take off the stencil and have a sexy looking white hard-rive with a Neat Grey Wii U logo on top of it.

lol. You might be the most hardcore Nintendo fan in the world right now. I thought this when you said you buy 2 copies of the same Nintendo game, but this takes the cake.
I have a feeling that cheaper downloadable retail games might lead to a small boycot by retailers.
Will Dean's mum should go third party.

Finally, I'm not the only one who thinks so.
All this "Nintendo should go 3rd party" talk reminds me of the Gamecube era.
Once again, this is really more on Crytek than EA. EA's only role with the Crysis franchise is financing the games. I know Crytek still controls the IP, and they probably control what they do with each game. I just think it's more the fact that you already have one studio working on three SKUs.

Not to be tooooo skeptical but they also said the Wii will take any usb harddrive. And that it would play DVD's. I mean, they have every reason to let people use usb harddrives this time, even moreso than last time, but...
I kid of course. I'll probably get a boring drive to tuck behind the bluray player.
But I do buy multiple copies.. I'm indoctrinating my nieces and nephews on the greatness of Nintendo gaming. It's working like a charm, hahaha!
The Wii firmware is being updated so that people can use a usb storage for the new Dragon Quest in Japan.

Well, isn't Sony giving some discount on digital Vita games vs. retail games? It's not a huge difference, but they're cheaper.

I understand it may be very difficult to get games such as GTA, CoD, MGS, Final Fantasy and Resident Evil but i really thought games esp from EA like Crysis 3 would be a given.
After these stats today i asked myself a question, why are Nintendo even bothering with the 'hardcore' gamers ?.
They sold 260 million consoles and 1.75 billion games over the DS / 3DS / Wii generation.
The last hardcore console they made sold 21 million consoles and only 210 million games.
When you do the math and understand that Nintendo are a business at the end of the day, i find myself asking why don't they just make the Wii U as powerful as the PS360, add the tablet controller for innovation and try and release a few more of their core games like F-Zero, Waverace and Starfox to go along with the likes of Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Mario Kart and Donkey Kong that we got anyway on the original Wii.
All this Nintendo press, favorable or not, is starting to annoy me. Just shut the hell up already, we know you just skim other editorials and make some wise opinion piece based on that. I'm so sick of hearing the same crap over and over, I just want to hear something from Nintendo for once.

I say we burn them all!
Wow. For a mainstream journalist, he'd fit in quite well with many of the goons we have in the enthusiast media over here. Maybe they could invite him to one of their annual post-E3 roundtables, where they do their usual "Nintendo-going-third-party" self-gratification session.
Nah. The best revenge is living well.
Let them burn themselves. We can giggle as we watch!
Well the first comment of the article does summarizes it really well.

LucasArts should give Ubisoft Paris a few quid to work on another Jedi Knight game. Just think of Red Steel 2 but with a light saber instead of samurai sword, a blast pistol, rifle and Wookie bowcaster instead of the Wild West weapons and Jedi powers instead of samurai powers. It would be a license to print an absolute shitload of money.
Lol, if I was in charge of the decision making at Ubisoft I'd do it anyway and just use obvious alternative names that are so close that you know full well what they're supposed to be but far enough away to avoid legal action lol. Have it for the U but don't use the new controller, just MotionPlus and a nunchuck. It would sell billions, even without the Star Wars licensing.
Jedi Knight Academy and Jedi Knight Outcast are the best two Star Wars ever released (with the possible exception of the wire-frame arcade game you used to be able to sit in!) and I'd sell not just my soul to Santa but the souls of my two pussy cats and every single one of my living relatives to see another Jedi Knight game released. :Oo

You can't beat the classics, though.
Aint the guy dunking in your gif white?
Aside from the odd premise..
What confuses me.. is that Nintendo does better than either company.. they sell more games than any 3rd party title on either console...
How.. is that a FORWARD movement for them?
But it would be way cooler if...
You would skin him alive and make sure his still alive after, and then attach him to your car and drag him over a rocky surface.

I wrote a reply to this. I wonder how it will be taken.
Ah, heck, nothing else is happening tonight. Here it is!
I hope I didn't mess up any numbers here. (note: Mario 3D Land sales are based on the assumption of a ~$40 ASP; is that accurate?)
Nintendo third party would be a catastrophe for Sony and Microsoft, there games would stop selling.

Nah. Nintendo can get along with lots and lots of companies doing quite well.. if they so choose.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Posted this in the other thread too.
article said:
Yes. Play Ocarina of Time. Play Angry Birds. The difference is clear.
It's like saying why do expensive restaurants exist when you can get nuggets and fries at McDonalds?
Also, I couldn't help noticing the giant Vita commercial on that page....
So see what would happen.. in attempt to save there first and second party business, Microsoft and Sony would just fund Nintendo there new console.

AB Space is actually pretty neat, what with the gravity and all.
Of course, I get them all free on Android.
BAM!
The space one is interesting due to the gravity mechanic.
Hahaha.. so incredibly appropriate.
As much as folks love to bash, Ninty holds a kinda unique role in this industry. People speak of them as though they're this small, frail, weak company on the verge of being demoted into a third-party role, but they apparently have the power to level whole landscapes for rival developers. Delicious.
(and guek: AMEN. I don't friggin' get it. Launch, boom, repeat. Zzzzzzz....)

Indeed, it's just taking the idea of one of SM64 DS minigames and expand on it.
