Direct? Direct.

I'm willing to bet we'll get at least one DLC pack featuring characters and courses before the end of the year

I inferred it because that is how it was written. Please be more concise in the future.

That is how it is worded. Your entire post is stated as if it's fact. See. Perhaps you should be more concise or add an ", at least in my opinion" at the end if you wish to convey something as an opinion.

No. I'm just not countering other things because, as you say, it's opinion and I don't jump on people for their opinions unless they're being utterly ridiculous. You didn't state an opinion, you stated something as an empirical fact, stating that there is no creativity remaining in Nintendo, just a sequel culture. That was not given as an opinion, you were stating that as a fact, and that is why I countered it, because it is not a fact.

No, its 3D iteration wasn't new. It was a sequel to the 1996 hit game, Wave Race 64, so again your fact checking is flawed.

Rogue Squadron wasn't new, and it also wasn't first party. Activision published it here, for example. Wave Race wasn't new either. That started in 1992 for Christ's sake. Good god man. I also wasn't disputing that. Please actually read my posts before you just jump on me, and probably best for you to fact check next time, too

That's bull. Sure, there are "sequels", but Nintendo put their amazing and creative ideas into said sequels. Just because it uses an established character does not mean it's not creative. Also, with the other consoles, please tell me the "step up" Sony and Microsoft have done with their software, because I honestly don't see it.. I also argue that Nintendo's games are a step up from previous generations. People just focus too much on New Super Mario Bros. U and use it as the poster-boy, even when it's not necessarily valid. Yes, the Gamecube did have a lot new to it, but that's because the generational leap between the consoles was so large, especially compared to the last two.

Cosplay Pikachu isn't just any old Pikachu dressed up, it's a special form you get given after doing your first contest Male Pikachu Female Pikachu Cosplay Pikachu

There's no arguing against that haha

Not for NSMBU, no. That was a refinement, though. It's the greatest 2D Mario, in my view, especially with New Super Luigi U DLC. Yes, it felt similar to past games, and the aesthetics were based on others, but it's by no means a bad game.

Well I'd argue the complete opposite regarding quality, but to each their own

To be fair, Nintendo's output in the first 18 months of Wii U is higher than every one of their consoles other than the Wii, which beats it by just 3 games. It's not like they're holding back or massively struggling with development.

I don't think that plan and profit can be in the same sentence :p

Yeah, I too don't get the GamePad weight complaints. It's not too heavy, but not overly light either. It's large, sure, but not in a way that adds strain. I find it the most comfortable controller since the Gamecube controller.

Nintendo do need to sort these things out. Cloud save backups tied to your NNID would be a nice step, though it'd be quite a task to do.

Pic of the day. "♪Ba-ding!♪" If you turn on the 3D effect, it really looks like there's a Game Boy inside the screen.

Their next console & handheld

Anyone who makes derogatory remarks regarding other people needs to grow up

Your joke is insulting to many users.

Can you cease being condescending?

We've seen that Nintendo can remotely delete things from your 3DS/Wii U, so make it so you can log in with your NNID, but it will remotely erase everything on the other console.

Nintendo really need to sort out the account system in that manner.

Pic of the day. Here's the trophy gallery for the 3DS version. You can rotate the trophies by drawing circles on the bottom screen. Super Smash Bros. Brawl had tons of trophies, but rumor has it that the 3DS version alone may have more than Brawl. Looks like the Dr. Wily that we made from scratch for the 3DS version is on his knees in disbelief. Here's something new--the trophy shop. If you're having a hard time getting certain trophies, why not just buy them? They sometimes go on sale, too.
