There is a simple rule i business, and that is that you spend the most money on the things that make you the most money. Why spend so much on new IPs that may not make money when you can spend more on your established franchises that you already know make you money?

Not necessarily. As technology continues to improve and the scope of gaming design expands ever farther, a new IP that can take advantage of those technological advances may be in a better position to succeed than an old IP trying to remain current.

If it doesn't fold then no sale. What's the point of of a handheld system you can't fit in your pocket?

Depends on how much of an obnoxious idiot the victim is. Violence against a woman doesn't bother me when the woman is obviously looking to start trouble. Likewise violence against men bothers me if the man didn't go around looking for trouble and was minding his own business.

Ehh, I don't agree with the whole greivance industry for men deal, but I tend to agree with their view in respect to a lot of social (not necessarily legal) issues facing the average guy.

Sony, Gung Ho, Marvelous AQL, Namco would be my top candidates.

Nintendo would suck, but they wouldnt make shovelware IOS/Tablet Persona/SMT games.

Square Enix, Sega, Konami, Capcom would either make shovelware Smartphone/tablet games with Atlus IPs or fail to localize them, or both.

The Tales series would like a word with you.

I'm personally dissapointed there will be no press conference, Nintendo's are usually the only ones I bother to watch. But at the end of the day I'm still going to get the news, announcements, media and impressions on the games I care about, so I'll get over it.

Based on what youve written, I'd infer Nintendo doesn't really need to pique your interest because they clearly already have it.

By contrast, I am almost entirely indifferent to the Wii U at this juncture and like many I was expecting them to use E3 to demonstrate that the console is actually relevant even as MS and Sony ready their respective behemoths for launch.

Instead, they are looking once again to be coy and divergent when all I require is a concise presentation with enough software to mitigate and rectify this disastrous launch.

But clearly, Nintendo isn't catering to me. I'd venture to postulate they don't want another dime of my money given their current strategy.

This. I love Nintento and own a 3DS, but their complete lack of advertisement or hype for the WiiU is really making me want skip it. Them deciding not to have a press confrence just makes it very obvious to consumers and retailers that the WiiU is utterly dead in the water. They would have been overshadowed by Sony and Microsoft regardless but the only thing worse than releasing an underpowered console with an atrocious lineup is not even trying to be competitive with it especially when you have a head start in the console market already.

I just finished it today and i've spent about 17 hours playing. I did take my time on missions and replayed a few of them. I still plan to go back to some as well to try to get better ranks plus there's still the Scarescraper (multiplayer) which looks kinda fun.

Highly recommend getting this game! It's awesome and the missions are quite replayable.

17 hours sounds kind of short...

For a 40 dollar game with a fun multiplayer mode, a 17 hour single player campaign is great.

How is this surprising? Why would anyone buy a Nintendo console for a multiplayer first person shooter when everyone knows that Nintendo's online is a steaming pile of crap and that the other consoles have a much larger number of people playing the game? Not that this changes things but anyone expecting anything different is dumb.

About 6 hours in and I have to say this game is great. The level of exploration in this game combined with how good the enviroments look in this game is almost breathtaking considering its the Wii. The music in this game is almost as great. And the cutscenes are fun to watch. I'm not regretting my purchase one bit.

I sympathize with them. I don't however particularly stigmatize or comdemn suicide at the same time. The very fact that we are so replacable and expendable makes it hard not to consider suicide an evil equivalent to murder as if we were living in small primative tribes.
