I think he's trying to compare Iwata saying that the amiibo stuff is "new to us" to be "new" and that they work in a vacuum ignoring the rest of the industry and so Iwata needs to go, when the article doesn't say or imply that. He's also working off of the assumption that the implementation of amiibo is akin to that of Skylanders and Disney Infinity, when it is not. With that sort of specious logic, every game with jumping has ripped off Donkey Kong.

What goes on there? Game development and idea conception. Good god, you're ridiculously grumpy. You're trying to just start fights now. There is nothing wrong or "shocking" about the first two paragraphs or what you have highlighted. Again, grow up. I do like how TIME uses Nintendo of Europe shifting from contracted to freelance workers as a sign of struggle, but yet certain other companies have laid off thousands and are classed by them as doing better.

Just made a ridiculous slide level. I do lack imagination haha

That's the thing, in the presentation, Reggie clearly said it was the controller for their new console, and there was a heads up previously. There was no excuse for any media reporting it, even in live text blogs.

You're correct. Appears Gold Mario has got a special perk in Mario Party 10 http://www.gonintendo.com/s/249569-a-look-at-gold-mario-amiibo-s-special-perk-in-mario-party-10

You seem to, continually, not understand the difference between lying and changing of business plans. Iwata said they didn't want to go mobile, but they did. Does that mean he was lying? No, it means plans changed. He promised droughts would be over. Was he lying? No, things went wonko. Lying is when someone is deceitful intentionally. Iwata has not been.

Yeah, so illogical to go based on what they said rather than an immature childish view

No, that's not how it works. The price isn't the upper price, it's likely a middle so while they may make more money on say Kirby, they lose more on Shulk

You really don't seem to understand amiibo. Yes, not all amiibo will have massive features and yes, all amiibo have the same RRP. Nintendo have said that it is an intentional choice and I have explained it to you. They're not doing variation in prices based on "simplicity". Seriously, grow up. You continue to act like a child.

Same basic information. NFC chips basically have memory that can write to, and a value indicating what character it is. Mario will always be Mario

Same as the Smash ones in the chip, just different figures and part of the Super Mario Series. They came with the release of Mario Party 10 which has strong amiibo features.

Yeah. Thankfully it's nothing like the last one, but more like the two that came before, back in 2D

Has nobody bought this?

It's mislabelled. Click it and it tells you it's the Wii U one

He said that he wanted something special proposed for that before they considered it

Oh. Well, @King_V, Masuda explained it. The original intent of those games were for Pokémon to battle in 3D. Now the games are in 3D as standard, they need to find a special gimmick/reason for it to be before they do another one.

Pokkén WILL be on the system, don't you worry Pokkén is also nothing like those games you listed :p

Specious reasoning.

Luigi was always there, yes. I just didn't realise there were any others

European online features are now live, ahead of the launch at midnight. I never got round to finishing the awesome stage I had planned. I suck at creativity, I much prefer playing others levels Miiverse etc. are shared with US. No region locking

Someone on Miiverse pointed out a Rosalina one. It's not something you have to find, it's just in the scenery

Just noticed this. Pokémon is a portable experience. It's the backbone of the series and a large part of why it's so popular. Having it with you to battle/trade is key. Going home console would add nothing but prettier graphics while removing the portable aspects. Game Freak have said they won't do a home console one

I still have a horrible fear that the Mewtwo Smash amiibo will be CN exclusive

Nintendo just added a lot of digital games on Stars Catalogue http://stars.nintendo-europe.com/?locale=en_GB Virtual Console titles, Mario Kart 8 DLC, download titles...the works Do note, they aren't ambassador titles for a couple of them, just mislabelled Wii U titles.

Already done book 1, will save the rest for another time. Some are brutal to find. There's also other pixel characters dotted around, too.
