REVIEWS GRiD 2 Review
Grid 2 surprised me. I was going through the motions, getting used to the cars and their handling, when suddenly something happened. I started having fun.

State of Decay Review
Undead Lab's zombie-infested action title has finally hit XBLA. Is it worth a few of your precious Microsoft Points, or should you whack it over the head with a two-by-four and continue on your merry way?

E3: PC or rather about the lack of it

E3 2013 has been very silent for me. There's tons of media, but most of it buzzes past my ears without them catching the important keyword that my ears are fine tuned to receive: "PC" or "Personal Computer". Microsoft, Sony, EA and Ubisoft have all shown their cards...

Nintendo CEO Iwata Is Naturally Resistant to Trolls

Posted on Wednesday, September 14 @ 20:11:15 Eastern by


In a interview with Nikkei translated by Andriasang, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata was completely unfazed and serious about the myopic and trollish view of mainstream media that Nintendo needs to become more invested in mobile games:

This is absolutely not under consideration. If we did this, Nintendo would cease to be Nintendo. Having a hardware development team in-house is a major strength. It's the duty of management to make use of those strengths. It's probably the correct decision in the sense that the moment we started to release games on smartphones we'd make profits. However, I believe my responsibility is not to short term profits, but to Nintendo's mid and long term competitive strength.

Iwata also admits that he's "not totally clear today if the decision [to drop the 3DS price] was the correct one". At any rate, when asked whether the 3DS will ever see another price drop, he answered that "Nintendo intends for it to be the first and the last".

    It could just be that he's a good businessman and tired of answering queries from people who aren't. Moving Nintendo properties to the iOS platform would be suicide for Nintendo, or close to it. This is a rough patch that Nintendo was obviously going to go through, given the unsustainable success Wii had, and it would be a shame if weathering the predictable fallout and putting up with shortsighted investors hurts Nintendo before it can manage another triumph.

    And that's the difference between a troll and a CEO
