What's he pickin' out of his fingernail?

The last remains of his soul.

Iwata: Investor Q&A summary (pricing, Miiverse, innovation, friend codes and more)


- Nintendo Direct is watched between 600,000 and 1 million people

- Animal Crossing: New Leaf's special Nintendo Direct was watched over 1 million times on YouTube
- Iwata wanted to avoid consumers worrying about a 3DS-style price cut with the Wii U

- this had an influence on Wii U price

- the price they've gone with is to keep people from holding out and to meet customer expectations

- Iwata: If you criticize a lack of innovation over IP-heavy lineups, you're looking only at the titles and not their contents.

- Iwata: If Mario and Pokemon titles didn't innovate, those franchises would fall into ruin.

- Iwata: "If we can't provide overwhelming fun not possible with free or 85-yen games, Nintendo and consoles have no value."

- Iwata wants to explain the Miiverse in detail prior to the Wii U launching

- he wants to do this through a Nintendo Direct

- Iwata: You'll be able to become friends with others through Miiverse; increasing the number of friends to play with is its critical mission.

- It seems that Iwata might be saying that Nintendo has done away with the need for mutual friend code exchanges. Seems that you can become friends with someone instantly through Miiverse without the need of sharing friend codes. This isn't 100% confirmed yet.

- Iwata expects the 3rd-party share of software sales on the Wii U to increase earlier on than it did on the DS or for foreign pubs on Wii

Yikes, how much must wii u cost to make? It's like $489 in the UK and it costs more to make it?

DmC is looking surprisingly good. Its still all about how it plays and we need to wait for a demo to decide that.

I am getting that one as close to release as I can.

So who is getting Assassin's Creed 3 this week (or are you holding out for the U version)?

If I get it I will get the Wii U version.

Vade, if you are around, let me know your suggested control settings for RE5.  The ones you gave me a few years ago worked out really well for me and I'm getting set for another run through.

I just found out I don't have LOST ODYSSEY. I could have sworn I had this one. Maybe I was confused by Last Remnant.

WTF?

That's something I've always struggled with when it comes to these two lol. It's almost as if they're imprinted in my mind as being the same damn game.

Foolz, you want to play RE5 now? I have a couple of hours open.

Let's do it. Give me about half an hour and I'll be ready to go, though. Hop on Sykpe in the mean time?

Sounds good. I'll be back in 10-15 minutes and ready to go. Will see on you on gmail/PSN then.

I am always backed up on this series so I will wait to get it cheap.

I wont be in town Halo week, so it wont be till later in the week that i get to play it.

Well if either of you want to play with a true badass let me know. I dont play any of this normal mode crap, vet and higher only.

I think we are getting Gold for free next week. Can finally try out move for RE5.
