I'm with Punk Rebel, I like it. It doesn't really mean anything, but thats not really necessary I think. And what's all this about it not even being good English? It's no different from the phrase 'there's no business like showbusiness'.
New Nintendo slogan. I think it's pretty bad, it's not even proper english.
This is bad. Not terrible bad, but definitely bad. I'm hoping this is just temporary or just for the 2DS, and nothing the company will really try to brand itself with. It feels like they're maybe trying to recapture the "Wii Would Like to Play" ad campaign they used during the Wii's lifespan. Maybe if there's a clever execution around it, it could work. Doesn't dazzle me on just reading it though.
All that said, the logo sequence of the buttons moving is very good. Fast, simple, and readily identifiable. Be a shame to waste that with this slogan.
Agree with all that.
Too many words. Too awkward an arrangement. Nintendo is like Coke, they only need a 2 or 3 word slogan, because they transcend slogans. Something like "Nintendo Plays" or "Your Nintendo" or "You love it" or "Nintendo is Waiting".

Just to be clear: are you talking about the fizzy drink or the drug?
I'm very curious about Nintendo's AC and FE mobile games. They stated the apps would be more 'gamey' than Miitomo, but I doubt they'll be fullfledged mobile versions of the portable games. If so Nintendo are eroding the reason dêtre of their dedicated hardware. Anyone care to predict what they'll be?
The Wolf of Animal Crossing - stock market simulator where you trade in turnips with your Miitomo friends. Profits will transfer over to the next AC game on NX. Option to buy Turnips at with real cash at 'stock value'. The Roost - You run the AC café and attract local boozers à la Viva Piñiata to your pub by experimenting with brewing your own beverages. You can grow your own ingredients, or buy them through in-app purchases. The Forge - you own a forge in the FE universe and craft and trade equipment and ore. Higher level stuff will require better ore. Which you can wait to attain through luck by trading, or buy with in-app purchases.
The Disney Infinity/Avalanche Studios closing is starting to make more sense today. Apparently, Disney missed its earning target this quarter, and that's the first time its happened in a while. Apparently they only made 12.97 BILLION dollars instead of 13.19 BILLION dollars. So now they look at what divisions are merely profitable instead of sickeningly profitable (like movies, theme parks and ESPN). Juding by the number of Infinity figures I see at the stores, I think it's safe to say the craze is over. I have a feeling there's still some demand, but this is Disney trying to look ahead and knowing that they have already launched Marvel and Star Wars content, there isn't any can't miss properties left and better to put it down now, rather than when it starts to lose money.
Nintendo leaked their new Wii U slogan to me last month:
"Zelda 2017 - Fuck you Vader"

Anyone else have some ideas?
Animal Crossing will be a cash cow if they charge little mictrotransactions for items or furniture. Then Nintendo will rake in so much money they'll realise they've been wasting their money on consoles and handhelds and they'll become a mobile focused developer. So all those fanboy dreams of Nintendo games on Playstation will go up in smoke. I have foreseen it:
Splatoon is literally what people have been asking from Nintendo for years when they say they want Nintendo to do a "new IP" or "something different".
Splatoon is:
A new IP
Is unique as it doesn't play like anything else
Appeals both to the hardcore and the casuals the same way Smash and Pokemon do
Has tight control schemes as Nintendo only incorporates their controller gimmicks where they make sense, hence they are no longer "gimmicks"
Is reasonably high budget as it clearly costs significant more than independent games or low budget affairs
Is within the trademark "Nintendo style" of gameplay
When people refer to "new IP' or "something different" from Nintendo they don't mean games like Steel Diver and HarmoKnight, as these are games that belong, or could belong, exclusively in the eShop store. They mean significantly budgeted titles that match the likes of Zelda, Metroid, and Donkey Kong. Games like Splatoon and Kids Icarus: Uprising (well sorta counts being how long the series was dead for) are recent examples of this. This is the reason why one of the head's of Splatoon's development team flatout said that Nintendo hasn't made a new IP as ambitious since Pikmin on the Gamecube.
It is clear that the mass market is hungry for new Nintendo mainline IPs and I'm glad Nintendo took a chance. Hopefully they continue to do so.
They almost entirely removed the need for the circle-pad pro. There's no swimming in the game. The c-stick does come in handy for camera control, but the best reason to play on the N3DS is slightly better resolution and textures. Performs better overall!

probably good if watched at 1.5 speed.

Prey was legitimately original. I had trouble with liking it at first, but played it any years later and it was alright. Kind of like Doom3-clone.
Agree with all that.

This makes sense on two levels.

Everybody bitched.
That's a 'New' too... I like it!
Love these colors too though!
Well, he did say "cool designs".
No wonder everyone bitched.

N3DS. Incredibly good game!
