Urgh... now Nintendo holds not just its own Destiny in its hands, but Ubisoft's too. This is gonna be a real interesting next-gen battle.

I think it is kind of neat, this is the first time in quite awhile where you have 3rd parties trying to top each other on a Nintendo system!

As I said in the Japanese dev thread...MUWA HA HA HA HAAAA!!!  Laugh with me!

Seriously, this is exactly how Sony won the last two generations, huge third party support.  Nintendo is on its way.

Ah, PoP: Two Thrones is a good way to do it... wait, that's a horrible way to do it.  THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU MEAN BY BEATING EA IS IT?

Yeah, it must have been pretty difficult in pumping out so many poor games.

Well.  That's certainly beating EA at their own game of whoring out franchises with little to no thought, work, or integrity.

Shameless port is sooo last gen. Oddly enough EA,Ubi and Activision(to an extent) where the worst offenders and it looks like that might still hold true. But hey if people who have no clue about games will buy these games sadly more shovelware will come.
