i would consider nintendo to have "won" this generation of consoles if it could actually be the best selling console *and* the most successful in terms of its game library. right now the wii sits at the bottom of the consoles in terms of time spent playing every day and the amount titles bought per console, according to research. it's a disaster in terms of third party titles and core games, mainly relying on its first party games which are really just updated sequels to its long-existing franchises.
mainly, nintendo has just gotten lazy. i'd love to see them take some of their crazy record profits and pour it back into the system in terms of hiring third parties for new IPs and advertising, or increasing its own facilities for putting out first party games more than once 9 months.
most of the time when i see characters "acting" in these realistic videogames they really only move their mouths. i rarely see dramatic facial movement in the brows, cheekbones or eyes. i'm sure even a crude way of handling these areas would be better than the nothing i usually see.
it might be a good idea to at least mention why it is dangerous in the sum up before the jump, instead of having to figure out why by reading the letter.
it makes sense for me. if i want the updates now, i'd just manually update it, but if i don't care, the phone gets it just a little later and saves on the battery.
all of these reek of minigame. since the ipad seems to hold more clout as a serious gaming device, i can't wait for an actual serious game to see what this platform is capable of.
