You're right, the GameCube was a powerful console at the time, but it failed for other reasons. Here's an article that sums up all the mistakes Nintendo made with it:

I hope it flops. I hope it flops to the ground.

Merely assumptions. Nintendo should try it for a change, making a new, powerful console. Because trying to cut develop costs by making an underpowered console has been proven as a very bad business decision in the case of the Wii U.

So Nintendo is responsible for the Wii U fail, for not developing it with proper specs. I agree with that, I think Nintendo tried to pull a Wii out of the Wii U but, as you said, hardcores don't want to buy a underpowered console, fickle casuals don't care about gaming anymore, the only Wii U buyers are the Nintendo…

I concur with the gaming sites making this look like a big thing, but I don't remember a game to be unveiled so little by little, the same goes to DKC: Tropical Freeze. Maybe it's Nintendo's new strategy.

Good answer, you're actually right with those games. Most hyped game in the last year then?

This has to be the most hyped game in the history of gaming, every 2 days there's a new character unveiled, or a new move, or a new scenario............................

The REAL question here is: Do dags like doge?

This must be killing you...

Yep, and at the end of the GC era they practically begged 3rd parties to develop for the system. I think they were full of themselves, and the same happened at the end of the Wii era. I'm still amazed how they pulled the Wii U based on the GC architecture. Basically, the Wii U is a beefed up Wii, which was a beefed…

You're absolutely right, this article shows how Nintendo has a very antique mindset for business:

They didn't even considered online gaming at the time, not just Iwata, but Miyamoto and the company's president at the time, Yamauchi. It's a long read, but it's essential if one is to…

"nintendo going out of the hardware bussiness means the end of it" Why? Out of some stupid sense of pride? It's business, feelings don't matter. Nintendo has stockholders, who, to this point, lack patience. That's why Iwata and a few more Nintendo managers had to cut their salaries by half two years ago, they were…

To this day, he's right with that statement. The Wii was a beefed up GameCube, and the Wii U is a basically a beefed up Wii (read team failoverflow's works), what the hell did they expect?? In this day and age, against the PS4 and the X1, what Nintendo expected??? To compete with these two monsters with a console…

Kinja is seriously fubar at this point...

But he's not a man, he's an elf...

Well, it was his story, he's always stated about how SW was all about Anakin, so he could do whatever he wanted with it. I personally loved Ep. III and Ep. I and I liked the story of how Anakin goes to the dark side, it really makes sense to me, even more if one reads the whole story of Darth Sidious and Darth…

As a Star Wars junkie, how I fucking hate Disney...

Best. Tetris. Ever.

I don't concur with this at all. You're not selling anything to anyone. You don't have to hide part of who you are to get along with girls. If you do that, you're unconsciously placing yourself on a lower level and putting her on a higher level. Girls (pretty, ugly, whatever) are not better than you. You just…
