I don't know if there will ever be a point where Nintendo turns to making "actual" games for third-party devices. I could sooner see them dropping out of the console market to develop solely for their handheld line before they come to see mobile devices as a viable alternative, though I don't think that eventuality is

The problem with this is that it would almost directly compete with their retail releases. Why would people feel compelled to buy a new Mario Kart game for the Wii U when they can just buy one on their iPhone?

I feel like this could make sense, but only if/when Nintendo decides to do something to unify their Wii U and 3DS eShops. Which they do seem to be taking (albeit very tiny) steps toward doing.

I'm glad you were aMewsed.

As Mewsual*

As someone who has never heard of this comic, what is "that page?"

Yeah, I love all the Toy Story movies. I just like the third one a little more than the second. Cars 2, I think, is the only really unequivocably bad movie Pixar's made. Brave has its share of criticism, but I enjoy it.

I enjoyed Brave a lot, but just not as much as most of Pixar's other films. I also felt like it sort of sputtered and gave up on most of the potential that it established for itself in the first half of the movie. But yeah, Brave and Cars 2 are the only two films that haven't been critical masterpieces.

Toy Story 3? Did you not see Cars 2? Brave? Toy Story 2?

That's what I'm thinking. I assume it's possible somehow, but I really have no idea. That would definitely be a start for the Wii U's problems. The next step is games. And I say this as a day-one adopter of the console. I don't doubt that Nintendo's got the potential to fix this thing, because they fixed the 3DS when

This so hard. Craig's the only late night show that I ever watch in its entirety. Jimmy Fallon occasionally hits it out of the park with one of his sketches, but Craig's consistently funny pretty much all the time. I'll watch the other talk shows when there's a guest on that I care about, but I'll usually just fast

You're absolutely right on all counts. I don't know anything about how hardware works, but if there IS some way to merge the two existing consoles, I wouldn't be surprised if that's coming. This seems MUCH more likely than the idea that Nintendo's trying to bury the Wii U and release a new console already. That just

I was really excited last year when a rumor broke about a Starfox/Metroid crossover game. I was kind of disappointed when that proved to be only a rumor. I feel like Retro would have been the studio to make that happen. I also like the idea of them working on an original IP, though. We've seen what they can do with

Kind of on topic, just wondering if anyone's played Unepic, and if so what they thought. I'm thinking of picking it up for Wii U, and I've heard mostly good things, but nothing quite to push me over the edge yet.

I posted on one of the other Nintendo articles, but it was already like a day old, so maybe someone here can answer this for me: can anyone explain how the "sales estimates" thing works? Like, I don't understand the necessity of altering their sales estimates for Wii U to reflect the lower number of consoles sold. It

Can someone explain this practice of changing their estimates here, because I don't understand what the point of it is. Like, it seems to me, they initially thought they were going to sell a certain amount of systems, and now they're not going to sell that many systems. Why do they have to change their estimated sales

You... you do know that WAS a thing, right? The Super Game Boy, that let you play Game Boy games on your SNES? Then they made the Game Boy Player, which was the same thing, with GBA games and GameCube.

Yeah, like that, except with good games.

I'm there with you. I don't remember making too much of the distinction between the GameBoy and GameBoy Color/Pocket when I was little, and nowadays I usually just refer to my 3DS as a DS, just because it's easier to say.

It's a bullet point because people seem to think calling something "last year's" carries some sort of connotation, rather than simply designating that it came out last year.
