good news for Nintendo. I had thought this would be one of their worst years in a while.

Hard to say, Both the 3DS and the Wii had pretty strong black friday sales. The Wii selling so strongly still is very surprising.

November/december is about the only time Nintendo brings its A-game, Donkey Kong Country returns was a blast last year.

we all know this thing is going to do well


the controller that does everything except make you food and suck your dick

[F U Clock]

Dislike.

Not that I don't like NINTENDO... They've given me a lot of good memories. But their franchises are pretty stale to me and they've done a great job convincing developers that people don't like controller-based play anymore. Which I, for one, do.

I have a better idea, developers should try making games up to Nintendo's standard of quality for the XBOX360.

achievements ruined gaming

[WiiClock]

achievements ruined gaming

no, dlc ruined gaming

[RobClock]

The industry as a whole ruined gaming.

[Asshatclock]

most games suck, some don't.

[buttplug]

DLC and achievements are effects not causes

And the "nintendo standard" is a myth.

I think the main problem with gaming today is that games are too expensive to make so they have to sell you an incomplete product and hope you buy the extra shit so they make a return, and they cant risk making a game too different or innovative because it might not sell well and thus bankrupt the company. It used to be that you could make a really weird game and manage to make a sequel but not today. Of course this mainly applies to main disk based console games. You still get some interesting market/wiiware/portable games. And every once in a while the wii gets something interesting since it's not as demanding of a system.

Personally I blame the jews and nintendoclock

[Kodiakclock]

Agreed, I actually had a lot of fun with Nuts & Bolts. And I don't like racing games so I expected to hate it, but it was pretty different from racers. Shit, now I want to replay it...
