Interesting. Nintendo apparently had the most popular booth in the show again. Seeing tempers calm down now, too. Let's hope Nintendo throw something at us soon to placate.
I would hope so. The rage about MPFF is just ridiculous...zillions of topic how Nintendo have essentially raped their memories of Metroid, the whining and raging, petition to cancel the game, wanting Miyamoto to suicide, most from people who have seen no more of the game than the tutorial for controls. The hostility/hate is so off the chart messed up I almost felt ashamed just being associated with these people as a gamer/poster on GameFAQs.

Well, yeah - at the core its because these people are fans and really care about these franchises. And after five years of no Metroid, they get this: Metroid Soccer (as some are calling it).
I agree with the general sentiment that Nintendo shouldn't mess about with their more serious franchises like this. They could this with 80% of their franchises, why does it have to be Metroid? No one asked for it, no consumer intelligence on what is wanted... Just a random act of, well, insanity - it looks like. XD
His stubborn attitude with regards to online play (as recently stated in Starfox Zero) is now beyond comprehension, and it reeks of a person whos ways can't be changed no matter what.
Pikmin 3 and now looking to be Starfox are two games whos single-player modes are traditionally short-lived and whos genre make perfect candidates for online competitive play. Just beyond belief.
Good video. Agree with most points. Games were good, but we either knew about them or they were essentially spinoffs to what was wanted, or cut-down versions of games that should know better by now. So many of the Wii U's games have felt like side games rather than the "main version" already. So few feel like the robust full games of Ninendo past. I don't want to feel disappointed because he's right, most ARE good games...but for the above reasons don't fully hit the spot. It reeks of a company that just doesn't have enough resources, or the likely theory of "diverted resources to NX". You can see this right from the launch, it makes me wonder if it was always intended as a stopgap tem system from the beginning.
