I disagree with you completely. You seem to think that Nintendo are just doing ridiculous things because Nintendo, as if they don’t know the power of their absurd library of classic games and how well they sell.

C’mon, Jason, you know you’re above this condescending snark. Obviously some people still choose to play and love their Wii U, and many of those people are purposely avoiding buying a Switch because they were annoyed at how quickly Nintendo abandoned the Wii U. I know two of those people myself.

Some people have all of the above, and still enjoy the Wii U. The U is hooked up to the main TV in my house still, and gets nearly daily use. There are a lot of good games on it, and it kind of cool that they’re still popping some VC games onto it. It doesn’t cost Nintendo much if anything to do that, so why not?

You could just report on this without the dripping condenscension. It costs Nintendo little to port already released games and I’m glad to see they’re still doing so.

Well, in fairness, that’s because the PS4 is not the perfect platform for jrpgs and the Xbox is not the perfect platform for multiplayer shooters. They are just platforms and don’t play appreciably differently between the two consoles. If Persona 5 was on Xbox or Titanfall on PS4, they would still play essentially…

I dunno, I could potentially (though unlikely) see an N64 Classic in 2018, but that’s about it, I don’t think they’re ready for a Gamecube Classic (though I’ll admit, the form factor with handle would finally make sense). As for that concept replacing the Virtual Console, I don’t think that’s likely. For one, there’s…

how you think supply chain management has anything to do with the power of the console is beyond me

Is Tim Rogers new? This guy needs to be in front of a camera more often. I love his humor and delivery style.

Tim, I have enjoyed all of your E3 videos. Great work! You are the hero we needed.

Come for the guns, stay for the buns.

“Call of Duty - ‘Wuh-Wee’, for the Nintendo Wii” - couldn’t make it past there without a giggle fit.

What about Mario Odyssey and Splatoon 2? I had the same problem with the original Splatoon, it looked simple and just didn’t catch my attention.. until I played it. It’s fun to just play casually but it also has a deep competitive side to it. Can’t wait for Splatoon 2

Basic rule of thumb... if somebody says the benefits of something should be self evident.. it means they don’t know of any.

Yeah, just a pure marketing ploy. If it isn’t the connector wearing out first, it is the joint between the connector and the cable where you get the most flexing which causes the internal wires to break. Majority of the time, its your connector and if not, its that joint so if you can find a cable where there is good…

Today, Tim Rogers takes us on a tour of Bethesda’s booth (they gave him a milkshake!), Indiecade’s booth, and a closer look at Nidhogg 2. That’s it for the tours this year, but stay tuned for more Tim at E3 videos.

Granted it was six years ago, but here’s an explanation Nintendo’s Bill Trinen gave me about this, referencing his knowledge of how the company’s top developers in Japan think.

Finaly new engine! I’m going to miss handheld though. Monster Hunter is the most fun when your physically in the same room as the people you’re playing with.

You should never count on resale value remaining stable in order to take the brunt of the cost of getting a new system. If even half of the current Xbone install base decided to upgrade, or heck, let’s just say even if 100k owners decide to upgrade, the value is going to go to crap regardless, at least though GameStop…

Judging by the screenshots, I’m pleased it’s a straight forward port and not some bastardized bull shit like the iOS and Android ports of Secret of Mana and FF6. Hopefully this will get a Western release.
