I dunno it was more or less the being berated by Bill Gates who flew himself in personally just to do it.

Bill Gates hated the Kinect and lack of start button on windows too.

At the time of original wii's release, you could walk into walmart and buy them for like 29.99, which is what I did. Its a great controller and I regret nothing

Which means all the games are going to be on sale at rock bottom prices.

Apparently this game is doing really well, because Club Nintendo just can't handle sending me my Pikmin 3.

Also Mario KArt 8 is really, really GR8

Mario Kart 8 spits in the face of everything Iwata's Nintendo stood for.

He stood for gimmick devices, shallow games, and stupid loving ugly/bland art direction.

Mario Kart 8 is none of that, it rubs shoulders with the Icos of the world and the shadows of colossi.
