Have you even read "The Trenches"? No, of course not. You don't know how it is in the video game industry.
The testers can test all they want, find all th bugs. They get paid to find bugs, and they usually do. It's up to the actual programmers to follow through on those, and most of the time they don't.
There have been more games shipped with known bugs than you can count, all because the programmers didn't want to work on them. Hell, in one of the anonymous tales, a bug that killed the very console it was played on (no joke - the console would die) was shipped with the game, and the guy who found the bug was fired.
The question here isn't what Nintendo will be doing, but how long Sony and Microsoft will take before flat-out copying Nintendo. Nintendo may have indeed lost this current generation, but everybody watches them because they have always been worth watching. That being said, I am interested in what Nintendo will bring to the table.
Nintendo has always been there, some say stubbornly clinging to the video game industry, while Microsoft and Sony have been dominating the past decade or so. But Nintendo still delivers from time to time, and you always have to respect what they do for the industry. As a guy just stated here, they don't really care what their competitors do, they do things their way. Their competitors, however, always look to what Nintendo does and attempts to copy it. Rumble Pack? Analog sticks? Motion Control as the main scheme? And not only that, but Nintendo can make grown men cry from awesomeness, as was seen from the Twilight Princess reveal. I can't help but feel that Nintendo is gonna blow people away again for this E3. They have been there from my childhood. I do not see them laying down and dying any time soon. They will continue to innovate, they will continue to put out quality products.
-- The Goonies 2. Now that game was challenging. Its adventure gameplay would have you playing for hours on end, even when you do know where to go! -- Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest. Booya. The Resident Evil series may have made the Survival-Horror genre, but Castlevania pretty much made the horror genre of gaming. And Castlevania 2 was the best of the series.
