Silonconera story above about Wada.  ARE THEY NUTS?  Here is the opening line of the story:

"Ask a large number of enthusiast gamers what “Harvest Moon” is, and chances are, they won’t have a clue."

Nintendo sales in decline in Japan?  Source: Nintendo... Hrmmm seems like I was saying something about this a month or two ago and getting attacked for it.."

Probably "argued" rather than "attacked" and probably for making a bigger deal out of it than it was rather than simply saying "lower sales than before" as that's a fact easily backed up by the numbers released weekly so if you were actually attacked for it you could have just mentioned those instead of sit and take it...

Wii sold 4.97 million units over the period, down from the 5.75 million of 2009. Software was down from 76.21 million to 65.21 million.

Nintendo going third party confirmeded!

I think anyone that would describe themselves as a gamer would know the name of the series, though it's fair to say they haven't played it. The audieince is more loyal than large though a few titles have moved over a half million copies. Still the series has been around over a decade and has at least 20 installments by now. I can't see how someone wouldn't at least recognize the name. Hell, there's 6 Harvest Moon games on the DS alone.

I do hope that Wada is able to either continue to develop the HM series with some flesh blood with Grasshopper or maybe even come up with some kind of new quirky sims. He's done some great games that people tend not to know about like Chulips (which is best described as Animal Crossing on acid with a lot more kissing). Would really like to see more of that kind of stuff.

That's funny you mention strawman arguments when it's the one type you used. Nowhere did I call you a fanboy, or imply you are one, nowhere did I say you claimed Nintendo is going the way of SEGA. As for that podcast discussion, I seem to remember responses being of the "they never had any real support" type, which is true. They can't lose what they never had so a podcast presenting it as if it's a new development that third parties don't develop Nintendo software when they rarely did, and still rarely do, naturally smells like flame bait/bias for some.

You were making fun of me by saying "Nintendo is going third party confirmeded".  I interpreted that as a straw man argument of me saying "Nintendo is the next SEGA" because SEGA is the most notable hardware manufacturer, who upon failing, went third party.  You were saying *that I was saying Nintendo was going third party* -- how is that not a straw man argument?

This is a pointless way to communicate. And for the record that -1 was not from me.

No, no, no.  Not that.

I might might get Red Steel 2 tomorrow. I can get it with motion plus at TRU for $20. I need motion plus for Zelda.

Hey look at that, Endless Ocean is $13 used at Gamefly... I'll pass for now.

Hey Vader, is there a sale tomorrow or is it like a Rewards member deal?

I may pick it up at that price.

Ho, ho, ho. I just beat 2-1 and kicked that spider's ass. I'm loving every minute of this game!
