People buy Nintendo consoles for Nintendo games. It's a simple idea that has kept me playing on a Nintendo console for 25 years. The addition of HD to Nintendos existing IP's is all I need to warrant a purchase.

The visual style of their games holds up really well in the face of games with more sophisticated graphics. Now that they're putting out a system that can do 1080p and has capabilities similar to the 360 and PS3, I don't think graphics will be nearly as much of an issue as they have been for the Wii.

The only thing I'm really concerned about is whether or not they can consistently put out good games for the Wii U. They can't have another generation of consumers looking at their dusty Nintendo consoles and wondering why they even bought it.

I like Patrick's work on the site so far, but the "Here's so and so and here's how games help him with his problems" article is the kind of thing that shows up on lots of other gaming websites, and worn-out content is the reason I don't read those websites.

I've been having this issue 100% of the time when trying to download any large video. I haven't tried smaller ones. While watching the Child of Eden quicklook it abruptly ended on me, but that was the only time I've had problems watching a video on the site.

A lot of people in this thread are using horrible consumer logic. You don't pay for something because you assume it subsidizes other things. You pay for something because it's a good value, because businesses are supposed to work hard to earn your money.

Whether it's a good value is up to you; personally I find the whole experience to be more cohesive than on the PS3 and don't find $5 to be too bad of a deal, but you shouldn't tell someone who questions the value of Live to shut up just because you're an horrible consumer who treat businesses like they're charities.

I voted no, but after listening to the last Bombcast I would change my vote if I could. I'd be fine with him being a regular.

I think the bottle you think is Lone Star might actually be Newcastle.

This is the way to do a pre-order incentive. Inventive, but not vital to the game.
