It would be hilarious if Microsoft was forced to change the name again *fingers crossed*

So what kept you from playing Wind Waker on your GameCuber or Wii then, if you're such a Zelda-fan?

Everyone who is older than 12 and remotely interested in Nintendo and Zelda, yes.

The astroturfing itself isn't that newsworthy, but if it could be proved MS is doing something illegal here, it might blow up and become quite something.

So people who are fans of Zelda aren't buying Wii U's. Same goes for fans of Mario Kart, fans of Pokemon etc.

Nintendo might be able to get away with having little to no 3rd party games, but if there also aren't that many 1st party games then what is there?

Wind Waker is GameCube's Zelda. There isn't one original to the Wii U.

Power is an issue, because once again Nintendo cannot compete with the other consoles. This means 3rd party developers aren't interested *again*, because the gap between the PS4/XBONE and Wii U is simply too big. The extra hassle of getting modern games to run on the Wii U aren't worth the effort, so all that is left is lots of Mario's, Zelda's and Pokemons.

And that wouldn't be that bad *if those games were actually available*. But they aren't. It's now 14 months after the launch of the Wii U and there still isn't a Zelda-game, no Mario Kart, no Pokemon, no Mario Galaxy for the Wii U. Just to name a few.

And then there's the controller. The Wii was compelling to a lot of people because of its novel motion controller. The Wii U has nothing of the sort. Sure, a tablet controller might be new in console-land, but everyone and their mother have already got a tablet. And any old iPad/Galaxy/Nexus/whatever tablet is way nicer than the clunky piece of white plastic Nintendo is providing with their system.

Combine all this with the terrible name and you've got exactly the clusterfuck that is the Wii U.

There are loads of games where this isn't an issue at all.

JS is already improving very nicely. ECMA5 is a huge improvement, and it's getting more consistent with each version.

There's really no need to invent a whole new programming language for the browser. JS does its job just fine already, it just has some legacy issues which are being fixed over time.

There's no way Dart or whatever language will be "perfect" or even close to something like that, so going for this approach serves no purpose at all.

It's still a terrible game. The maps are way too small to create something that even comes close to a city. Even building a midsized town isn't possible, it's really a neighborhood at most.

And then there's the bugs, which are still plentiful. And the general lack of fun. It's just a waste of time and money, this game.

If I were Amazon I'd mount camera's on the delivery drones and stream the images from them over the internet 24/7. If someone steals or damages the drone, you've got them on video.

Hmmm, seems like it was as big week for joke browser games with http://vlambeerclonetycoon.com/ also getting a lot of press. Will this be a thing in 2014?

Unfortunately, that's exactly all there seems to be to it.

"An exercise in apathy, neither Solid nor Liquid. Not exactly bad, but not very good either. Just a bit 'meh,' really."

In The Netherlands, eating at 7 is considered very late. Most people have dinner between 5 and 6 here.
