Since when was Polygon a respected website?
What Polygon has learned from eating shit.
No. It's strictly nintendo doing something patented by kickstarter. Fact.
Too bad Nintendo announced nothing but vaporware yesterday. :/

With yesterday's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo tapped into what makes Kickstarters so seductive: big promises, creative transparency and the illusion of direct contact with the consumer.
Pretty much. The time when publishers need others to rely information for them is over. Sure, Nintendo started that with Nintendo Power, but now with the Internet? Things have changes and looking at articles like this, I'm thankful for that.
I guess in their mind that is more direct contact to the consumer, via middle man (aka journalist). "Guess what we know that you don't?" "Oh we can't fucking say, but we know it"I'm sure if Nintendo had an event with drinks and food for the press and gave them access under embargo we'd be reading a different article.
This article would make more sense if they had just started doing Nintendo Directs and hadn't been doing them for years.

why are you dismissing it without thought?

PhoReal said:That's the joke.
Article
So every video game that hasn't been released yet is now vaporware.
Come on dude, is it really that difficult to admit that you misused a word? It's not the end of the world.
Yeah, that comment totally rubbed me the wrong way. How dare I take Nintendo's word at face value instead of the regurgitated shit that is Game Journalism tmI'm sure if Nintendo had an event with drinks and food for the press and gave them access under embargo we'd be reading a different article.
Wow these sites are really trying hard to create a narrative aren't they.
Ok I get it no negative Nintendo articles allowed.
What????? If a company is promoting it products and showing support is considerd something kickstarter??? Didn't companies do that for ages???

Between this article and the Edge one whats happening to the gaming journalism?
Nintendo are taking hits away from these sites by directly communicating with Wii U owners, I'm not surprised they don't like it. To be honest I thought they would have had a ND channel pre-installed on the Wii U for them, like they did on the Wii(they could put up the Iwata Asks too).
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the Edge article. Or are we now going to insinuate that Edge is somehow anti-Nintendo now?
These articles further justify why Nintendo began doing direct communication in the first place.
Oh wow.
Kohler should know what that word means.
Either he doesn't or he's misusing it purposely to prove a point. I guess it's the difference between being ignorant and being jaded.

In an online presentation broadcast on Wednesday morning, Nintendo went for broke: In an effort to energize its hardcore fans, it announced a handful of new Wii U games and a huge volley of vaporware.
So Nintendo fired all its vaporware cannons, talking up games it wasnt ready to show.
Hence the vaporware avalanche this morning.

Wired should have publicly apologized and posted more accurate terminology. "Vaporware" has incredibly negative connotations.
