I don't recall anybody ever saying anything good about P.N. 03. We can all make arguments about Zelda games that people didn't like but then years later did (Majora's Mask, Wind Waker), but what could anybody say was good about P.N. 03 in retrospect?

They should do what Goldeneye couldn't and put all the different Links over time in Hyrule Warriors.

That's probably how they'll handle the character issue with the game. Each stage taking place in a different game or whatever.

I was in my local Best Buy on Christmas Eve and they were almost entirely out of eShop gift cards. That should be a good sign for Nintendo, though I suppose they could mostly have been for 3DS owners.

3DS and Wii U eShop wallets got merged in a recent patch, so that might've helped sell eShop cards better for those that own both platforms. That and the 20% discount on all eShop cards at Best Buy.

A quick actual question about the Wii U, can the "Pro" controller be used for most games? Or is it just for select games and virtual console stuff?

Bayonetta 2 is actually "thing" that is happening so welp, I'm going to need to buy a Wii U. But the thought of using the tablet controller or nunchuck for an action game seems so counterintuitive.

It's on a per-game basis but most games support the pro controller so you can pick whatever.

Furthermore, Well, I could point out you're comparing the peak results of Fame Douglas' established posts versus the new posts of Fulchrum, but I was talking more in terms of a reasonable product. Fulchrum was when posts made the true transition from an attempted emulation of the adult gamer experience to a more fully realized idea of reading posts as an experience meant not just to amuse, but to really sink ones teeth into. Lets compare the way the two posters approached posting about consoles. Fame Douglas gives us weak attempts at burns - colourful, simple, cartoony. Posting equivalent of candy. Fulchrum gives us Octodad. Towerfall Ascension. Mercenary Kings. Don't Starve. Resogun. Transistor. Artistic, hauntingly beautiful, impactful in the way no post before it could have been. Postings ambrosia.
