Bombing refers to sales, but price cuts. His point still stands.
Is there like a chalkboard of all the "milestones" events folks have set up where we didn't get news?
SS didn't bomb but is nowhere near the the logical expectations regarding Wii userbase and previous Zelda game sales, including Link's Crossbow Training.
Those price cuts only happen when retailers bought way too much stock, in other words when it did not perform as expected. It is underperforming.

Sadly SS had a few things working against it. Like the M+ requirement and the toxicity of the Wii market in Japan.

make good game and they will come
Where is this? I was only aware of it doing poorly in England, but doing better in other European countries.
Germany. The country where you can get Metroid: Other M for 3.95 and the Classic Book Collection (DS) for free.
No she didn't.
Hey, i have an idea
Let's organize a "Wii U Buzz Day" on every big cities, fake cardboard padlet in our hands with funny images on it, singing Mario Bros theme, and wearing the new club nintendo polos:
Of course, media coverage involved, and Nintendo's local antenna will reward us with goodies, AR cards, and Samus Mugs.

Mediamarkt in Holland had it for 38 euros at launch.
Though I think that had more to do with MediaMarkt
killing off their competition.

Yeah.. after seeing those polos, looks like I'll have to keep an eye on eBay.
I want the pink one ! With a Gentleman Hat, a stick with a knob, and a black tie !
So chic !

Has Nintendo said anything about an achievement/trophy system on WiiU?
You know, when I read statements like these:
THQ:
Its apparent that developers need to be called out
for their incompetency or capabilities.
We cant go around clumping statements or
work from C class developers with A class developers and
use their as an indication of WiiU's potential.
We need to call out publishers and developers who make straight ports off last gen hardware.
Which Vigil appears to be doing:

I like how the games are listed as 49,99 euros!

"Expect majority of third party Wii U games from most publishers to have true 1080p, additional content, and smoother framrates than what the PS3/360 versions offer."
This means that the WiiU will be pushing 2.25 times as many pixels as most PS3/Xbox 360 games does (in 720p) and also have a smoother framerate.

The only good I think these articles might do is finally get Nintendo to say something. Chance of it happening is super slim, but it's about the only good I can see.

I don't even look at it as defending. It's just common sense. Nintendo has been on their own trajectory for a while now.
It's just that the detractors have been on such an offensive, that saying normal sane things has become being defensive or defending something.

Not the greatest shop in the world, but I like the idea... -WW.
Oh god everytime I see a post with a Link picture in it the first thing I check is which hand he uses for his sword (I see you mirrored a bit there haha), what have you done to me GAF, I feel like Huelen
That would be lovely of course, but why not go for the full slam dunk while you're at it, Complete Zelda Collection! Too bad the anniversary has basically come and gone already, would've been a nice fit.
Yep, same.
This might just be me, and people might criticize this point of view for holding back progression or whatever, but I honestly don't care if the Wii U is "on par" with the 360 and PS3. In my opinion, much of Nintendo's first party output on the Wii is only a higher image quality away from being some of the best looking games of this generation. The Galaxy games look incredible, and that's on severely compromised hardware.
If people buy a Wii U because they want good Nintendo games then I don't think the technical comparison with other consoles is an issue in the slightest.
What the screen shot of Daniel Craig posted by someone else in that thread from the original one Shiggy posted?

Made a boxart myself:
I would really like a collection like this because of The Wind Waker. That game is gorgeous in Dolphin, should be about the same with Wii U. If this would be that interesting at launch I don't know, Skyward Sword released just last year and people probably wouldn't be that ecstatic to purchase the same game again, albeit it features HD visuals. Though I suppose they could add some Wii U Remote support, though that would work better with The Wind Waker and Twilight Princess seeing as they do not feature a control scheme like the one in Skyward Sword.

A bucket of cash from Sony/Microsoft will do the job, for false reports.

Wait whats going on? New James Bond title? Where?
The Ninjas had taken down James Bond. You won't be hearing from him for a while.

new bond game (skyfall) on wii-u was there originally.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It's just nice to see somebody thinking reasonably.
I've been saying it for months--Nintendo doesn't NEED the "hardcore" gamer that's interested in high-end graphics, etc. They never had them on the Wii and it was hugely successful.
It goes against my personal desires (I'd love to see them put out a powerful console that competes with the Sony/MS consoles) but, business-wise, I see why they would keep it cost-effective.

IF the WiiU is weaker than the 360 and Ps3 I hope it will be priced to match. Anything over $200 will be unacceptable.
Ye but what else? What was the site? Perhaps I could find it cached.
