Iwata is simply the best.

Nintend direct, or how a former programmer proves to be way better at PR than PR professionals with degrees in marketing.

What people forgets sometimes is that Nintendo has distanced itself from the "Console Wars" since the Wii. They like to think outside the box and always try to deliver (as a publisher also) the best content they can make. I'm happy having a Wii U and a PC (also a 3DS) for my gaming needs. Sony and Microsoft's…

Conventionally I only buy two consoles per generation:

The caption for the original GIF should be "Please stick with us".

Man I love Nintendo.

You forgot "I'm not sexist, but..."

I won't accept any online requirement. Period. Maybe it makes me a dinosaur, I don't care. I've stated numerous times how my middle class lifestyle has had internet go out for various reasons and I expect several of those will happen again. If the benefit is faster load times or smoother frame rate, you can keep it. I…

Question One: N/A

I would call this sorta thing news worthy, for sure. It would be nice to have an article detailing not only the time and date, but linking us to the previous articles that showed what we should expect to hear about (i.e. new smash bros, mario kart, and 3d Mario) this N.D. is gonna be hot!

Don't be too pessimistic; Retro has already said that they'll be announcing "[sic] something futuristic and first-person that everyone wants us to do" for the Wii U. I think we're going to get word of it in one of the Nintendo Directs leading up to E3.

Microsoft today

I don't think being the creators of the 3DS, which is one of the absolute best gaming systems right now (yay finally!) equals "Walking dead" or "Crap." The WiiU was a weird decision but it's a fun system with a lot of innovations that really matter, at least to a gamer with my lifestyle. Much better than say...…

*joins in on the thrashing*

I bought my Wii U for the same reason I buy any console: the exclusives. Otherwise I buy multi-platform games on the PC.

I still use my Blaziken from Ruby too, I raised and trained it when I didn't care about natures but it turned out to be adamant which was lucky. Still use it now in Black 2.

I love my Wii U. I have high hopes for E3 and the next two Nintendo Directs.

Is it weird that Eevee elicited a feeling of arousal for me?

I agree, otherwise why not just visit other sites instead of Kotaku, they should've at least posted the main items above.

If they "Direct" it...they will come. :)
