What exactly did the Nintendo Direct do to cause all of this????
It has scared all the journalists, who now believe their "Nintendo is doomed" narrative may not pan out.

I don't see anything wrong with nintendo network
just lack of content ...
I know and it's not really adding anything to the conversation. It kinda just sounds bitter and defensive. *shrugs shoulders*I've seen it posted more sarcastically than in earnest.
As nice as this gif is, and as nice as it is to see it repeatedly linked in thread after thread, it does absolutely nothing to disprove the point in the OP about being behind next gen standards.
Have you seen all the goofy ass articles following up after the ND?What does the Nintendo Direct have to do with this article?

What's missing from that list? Game Boy DS for one. Do you think Ubisoft is going to crank out the latest Ghost Recon for the DS? If they do, do you think they'll put a lot of work into giving the second screen an interesting use, maybe find some
innovative ways to exploit the touch screen for playing Tom Clancy shooters?
No. No way. There's a bigger chance of EA adapting NFL 2006 to use Nintendo's digital bongos.
...
That's why the Sony PSP is going to win. Publishers understand it: powerful 3D, familiar controls, absolutely zero innovation.
The game looks amazing and everything but it doesn't need to be posted in every Nintendo related thread. Its just going to derail things.x.gif

There isn't any "independent market".I thought that was established this gen. Sony and MS are pretty much just competing against themselves now while Nintendo is in its own independent market. Valve/Steambox will be stepping in next-gen to fill that 3rd competitor hole left by Nintendo.
Is this the answer to anything WiiU related now?
It's funny how much things never change.It sounds familiar...doesn't it...
2005:
2013:
Nintendo still has exclusive content and as it arrives it will chip away at those of us who don't own a wiiu.
You guys really love the word "Doomed", don't you?

Somebody asked this in another thread. Its X by monolithsoft you guys didnt see it?What game is that?
I did see a couple talking directly about the ND and yeah, one of them was particularly dumb. I was one of the first people to point it out. I still fail to see what this particular one has to do with this week's ND.Have you seen all the goofy ass articles following up after the ND?
"We would like to see Nintendo be more aggressive in 'hinging' off its devices using its online platform - Nintendo Network - onto third-party devices as Microsoft is starting to do with Xbox Smartglass and Sony is doing with PlayStation Mobile."
I think it's more of a case of some people enjoying playing the victim. It's easier than actually confronting a problem. All these articles didn't spring up because of some massive media conspiracy to go after poor little old Nintendo. 24 hour news cycles etc.
So, this is the new savior for the Nintendo hardcore fans now? Not a bad gif, but...
Im talking about all of the articles and attitude of them in general. Not just this one.I did see a couple talking directly about the ND and yeah, one of them was particularly dumb. I still fail to see what this particular one has to do with this week's ND.
So I guess you never intend on buying one then?bwahahahahahahaha
Stop posting that fucking .gif everywhere, Jesus. The article is not about games.
Smartglass doesn't have anything to do with XBL, does it? I thought that was just a local connection thing. Not sure why that's such a thing to live up to (also the only people I've ever seen give a fuck about SmartGlass are Microsoft PR, so yeah).
Playstation Mobile isn't amazing anyone either. I know they say as much in the article ("Neither of these solutions is significant at present") but at that point all you're saying is "Nintendo should also go in these unproven directions, even in the face of mass indifference".
It was hugely successful, which the gaming press is afraid will show other publishers that they do not need ign/kotaku/etc. to market their games.
Which they don't.
The gaming press has become de factor PR firms for the publishers, reducing themselves to nothing more than an expendable commodity. Now that publishers will realize that they can go directly to the fans, there will be no reason for the gaming sites anymore.
And this scares the hell out of them.
There is nothing to disprove as nothing has been announced.
Who got to decide what the "standard" for a generation is? Why do we need three machines that are the same? Who got to decide the rules for what video games are? I'd like to meet that guy, Video Game Joe, Mr. Joseph Video Game, boss of games.
bwahahahahahahaha
What game is that?
Nintendo has actually done something tangentially related to gaming and interesting with Miiverse and TVii. I don't really care for Twitter but Miiverse is definitely tapping into that market. Though the highly moderated nature of it is kinda off putting.
I do find it somewhat odd that after a video where actually showed off multiple new games targeted at the core market we are getting sort of a deluge of negative Nintendo articles. Timing seems off and these should have been written after a Nintendo Direct where Nintendo did not deliver.
If people are fine with Nintendo doing their own thing, then fine. But given how defensive Nintendo fans tend to get when this subject comes up, I was under the impression it was pretty important to them for the Wii U to be competitive with the other consoles.
So I guess you never intend on buying one then?
And if so, why did you post in this thread?
Nothing in the post you responded to is wrong.

I think it's because of the note of desperation that the entire affair gave off. Nintendo fans will deny that that's what's going on obviously, but it sure felt like Nintendo was essentially screaming for attention after releasing their brand new console that the world all but ignored during the busiest shopping time of the year. It's a good move on their part to show their cards, but it doesn't do anything to lessen the impact of a lackluster launch or the fact that for months their release list is incredibly barren. Not to mention that on the horizon there are two brand new consoles that Nintendo is scared to death of since MSFT/Sony currently own the hearts/minds of two groups Nintendo desperately covet - core gamers and third parties. Also the message in the article that Nintendo is far behind the curve is accurate. They're still behind where Microsoft and Sony were 8 years ago. That's awful.
Can anyone disagree with this part?
"Nintendo ... is behind the curve in its online ... strategy."
Neither the 3DS nor the WiiU matches even circa 2005 functionality of Xbox Live. No unified ID; the continued usage of friend codes; not being able to log into other systems and redownload things you've already bought; having to pay extra to redownload Virtual Console games onto the WiiU... It's a mess.
I do, waiting for the $200.00 bomba...which is not too far in the future.
