The problem is that they're starting to fail at even the staple stuff we come to know as high quality stuff. The latest Mario Party, while adding a fun Bowser mode with the Wii U Pad, has been watered down to practically nothing in terms of skillful play and interaction. Everything seems to be all about Amiibos and cheesy one-trick ponies, with the occasional smash hit.
They may have the monopoly on low-budget, kid friendly stuffs, but even kids reach a point where they can tell the difference between good and bad quality game play.
Mario Party is the high quality stuff? Splatoon has gotten pretty good reviews. Mario Kart 8 and the Wii U Smash Bros. are both thought to be some of the best entries in the series. Not sure I see Nintendo failing all that much game-wise. On Mario Party: He is not wrong. This has always been a game where random chance had an impact on the outcome, but now it is basically completely random chance. Whatever small amounts of "skillful play" used to be involved are more or less completely gone. Worse, the game boards themselves are completely linear and without much imagination. MP games have always fallen a bit short of the mark, but it is becoming worse with every iteration. |

Ah yes, Fire Emblem, maybe the most overrated RPG series ever. Though Phantasy Star gives it a run for its money.
Paired with Megaten, for no discernible reason whatsoever.
on the Wii U

it's gone

SMT x FE really has nothing to do with either series.
A better name would be "Persona x Idols"

http://gizmodo.com/microsoft-hololens-round-2-why-cant-i-see-more-of-thi-1701500831Here, try this for me real quick. Pick up your smartphone. Hold it about a foot in front of your face. Now imagine that the phone is a window into a parallel world. Through that window, you can see holograms that appear to exist in the real world—but all around that phone, you’re only seeing the world. In other words, you have to be looking directly at a digital object to see it, because HoloLens currently has a ridiculously tiny field of view. As soon as you turn your head a little bit, the holograms disappear. |

Keep in mind when reading that though, when everyone Demo'ed it in January everyone had an almost complete FOV.
So yeah, version 1 is probably gimped due to limitations of the portable headset and power usage but what's shown is real, it's just using a full FOV hololens over the camera.
As always, tech is better after v1.

The demo in January was not hands-on. It was a "live demo" on stage at the Windows 10 event. Even the demo at Build 2015 was not for the general public.
I consider it to be in the same state that most game demos are at E3 (as fake as the tits at a porn convention) until proven otherwise. If it's real - great. Right now it sounds too good to not be complete bullshit. Especially coming from Microsoft who usually overhype their visionary ideas (Microsoft Surface and Kinekt come to mind in recent memory)

Um no? Many journalists and people were able to put it on and wear it, just not the portable device you are seeing. They were using a plugged in device with a backpack that could power the full FOV on the prototype but it was fully functional, including Minecraft, the Mars NASA demonstration, and some others. lmgtfy |

Hololens is a test to see how gullible people are.

Have you seen how slow those goddamn makerbots are? Gonna be more than a few years, and they're going to have to use something other than molten plastic. |

I feel like I did mention Nintendo already did what Microsoft is trying to do, but maybe I dreamt it or was just vague or forgot context again. Doesn't everyone on this board have a 3DS?
