Good god. Did you just agree with me? Well, the world is ending.

How the hell are you holding your controllers to the point it's an issue? It's really not. Please tell me as I cannot fathom it. Using the Dualshock is akin to this... Please tell me that's not how you used the N64 controller, too.

It only feels unnatural because you are unaccustomed to it. It took me one day to get used to it, that's all. It's not "unnatural", it's just foreign to you.

Pic of the day. Mega Man.EXE and Mega Man Volnutt!! They only appear for a split second, but the modeling is so detailed. And if that's the case…! ...How can we not use it for trophy creation?! Today's update is a rare mix of Wii U and 3DS images in the same post.

People were happy with the Gamecube attachment for the Wii U for a number of reasons Reason the first: wired controller for Smash Bros. Even though Wireless is arguably better, it adds some very slight latency. As such, having it wired is very beneficial for the competitive players Reason the second: Nostalgia & instinct. People played Melee with the GCN controller and became accustomed to it. They then played Brawl with it, because they could. Now, they're able to continue with it. It has nothing to do with the Pro Controller being bad, but them being used to it. That's why the Playstation controller has barely changed (until the PS4, even then it's largely the same), because people are used to it and thus they know it's good. Also, I have spent plenty of time with the Playstation 4 controller. It is the one with the weirdly positioned sticks. They are so uncomfortable and in the wrong place. Seriously, why the hell is the left analogue stick down there and that far away from the side? I have to stretch my thumb to reach it and it gives me cramp. It also feels like a flimsy controller to me. Plus the whole issue of the rubber coating coming off of the sticks, that's hardly indicative of build quality. I don't like it at all.

Dualshock 4s have got the control stick coating ripping off etc. There are no reports of things like that with the Pro Controller. So, do tell, how is the build quality better?

1. Perhaps, but I don't see it being too different. 2. Well I argue otherwise, but this is a circular argument that we have had numerous times. 3. No arguments here 4. Perhaps, but they wouldn't have it be so high if it was so low. It's disgusting that they're charging that much. Same with Nintendo with the Wii Remotes

I remember when people were saying using the touch screen in games was a gimmick, now look where the industry is. But yeah, I agree that showing "tech demos" is a bad thing this far in, but with Nintendo, and you know this, tech demos always turn into full game concepts. Hell, they have given Project Giant Robot an early 2015 release, afterall. So it's a bit further along than "tech demo". And yes, the GamePad is a bit more, but that doesn't mean Nintendo has to continually "justify" the bloody thing. NintendoLand did the job. Off-TV play did the job. Everything else gets thrown in as "lolgimmick" and "I want standard control", like Starfox as you said. Also, I am fairly certain that the Wii U wouldn't have had more power if Nintendo released it without the GamePad from the beginning. The GamePad just adds to the overall package. Also http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps4/PS4DU00-sony-dualshock-4-controller-black Not cheap :p £54.99 RRP is ridiculous.

It probably can, then you get people criticising Nintendo for these small projects as per Project Giant Robot, Starfox etc, saying they're a waste of time, and them being eShop would result in complaints of them not being system sellers and thus aren't killer apps.

Thanks. Glad you like it

Let's not go crazy :p

I'm with RedShell here. Jose and Peer are always on top form and are clearly fans and know what they're on about. Brian has his moments, but that Colin guy was just so abrasive and so negative. I have always maintained that the Gamepad is more evolutionary, rather than revolutionary. Sure, it's not massively innovative and there's no "killer software" to "justify" it, but there doesn't need to be. It streamlines how games are played in my view. Just having map and inventory on the screen without pausing taking you out of the game and taking a few seconds to load (urgh, GTA...sort it out), it's right there in front of you. It's things like that which make me love the GamePad, not any "revolutionary" crap. As Peer said, people don't ask for Sony to justify things in their controller, so why Nintendo? It's a part of their system, get over it. Any innovative use for the GamePad will be met with hostility anyway, just look at the reactions to the description of how it's used in StarFox.

Actually, the number of votes for Iwata stayed relatively the same from last year, but there were less votes in general so no, it wasn't a sympathy vote (also, sympathy for health of a CEO doesn't exist. When a CEO starts to get unwell, they typically are wanted to be removed)

Pic of the day. The Mii Gunner in his suit. Looking sharp! The arm cannon's design will change depending on the outfit, but the attacks and projectiles will be the same.

Comes at 6pm JST which is 10am UK time. Trailer for the Direct...

Don't know where you're getting that I was getting wound up by it. All I said was that people were serious in saying similar things on GAF.

Work at home, get bored in the day. What do you expect me to do? Go outside? Pah.

Well I have been getting headaches a lot more...

Wait, you mean that crossing the road when not at the crossing doesn't cause cancer? Well damn...

Thing is, there were serious posts like this on GAF...

You could argue that that is what he is doing. Not everything is about story.

Well, in Skyward Sword, the places named after Nayru were Lanayru. Take from that what you will...

Eh? I never said they would never hold back MK8 from Xmas 2013...for one, it was never aiming for that?

It won't be delayed. Mark my words.

I'll take that bet. It'll be December at the absolute latest, but they will get it out for Black Friday in North America. For one, 3DS is out in September in Japan. Second, the engine exists alrerady, the characters will exist etc. There wouldn't be much left to do. Amiibo is a big part of Nintendo's plans for this autumn...without Smash Bros, it'll be useless. It'll not be delayed. If it does, Nintendo are making a catastrophic error.
