Preemptive fuck you.

Uncharted 4 is mind blowing.

So remember that Nintendo patent about adding modular units to use as supplemental gaming units connected to a console?

Either it's linking handheld-like devices to a home console in the vain of what you could do with a GBA link cable, or I'm calling complete bullshit on this.

Go go Zelda!

Was looking around for some local multiplayer games and found this hilarious Battlelblock Theater Steam announcement trailer.  Perfectly sums up what PC gaming is all about.  

Avatar was awesome, about time we get some sequels to it.

OMG! What is that like 5fps?!  

As cool as the Wind Waker art style is, from a marketing standpoint at the time it was the dumbest thing Nintendo could do in typical Nintendo fashion.

You have these new consoles out and everyone is excited to see the N64 Zelda style taken to the next level, as Nintendo themselves alluded to in the Zelda Gamecube tech demo. You have people claiming Nintendo is kiddie and don't have more adult-oriented games like Halo and Metal Gear and Devil May Cry and all the other big hits coming out for competing consoles. Everyone looks to Zelda as one of the few Nintendo 1st-party games that CAN be one of those games.......and then they pull a 180 and show off Celda with a Link that looks like he's about 6 years old.

For better or worse, its choices like these that have given Nintendo the image they still have of being a console maker mostly for young kids and families, and not for everyone. They literally brought it upon themselves. With a little effort and a few different choices and marketing, they could have erased that image a long time ago. But it almost seems like they ENJOY having that image, even though its held back the popularity of their consoles for the most part since the N64 days. Hell even Super Nintendo would have done better if SEGA didn't have the reputation of being more edgy and cool.

Also, in terms of the Wind Waker style....they could have used that same style in a more adult-oriented way. It wasn't just the style...it was what they did with it. Whether you love the game or not is irrelevent. This perception is just reality.

That's the thing, Nintendo is always trying too hard to do different things, when sometimes they just need to do this^

I remember Skyward Sword took ages to develop because they couldn't nail down an art style. It shouldn't take that long. Wish Nintendo would have a conceptual team working while the production team did the grunt work and get the Zelda production rolling more smoothly so we didn't have to wait 4-5 years for a new one.

Zelda is already extremely formulaic. It'd be insufferable if they were released closer together, with less conceptual effort behind them.

It would be Assassin's Creed.

Edge please remove that face from your avatar, thanks.
