Voting Registration Only Signed on Few Voters
In this photo, a woman looks on at a display window of Black and white dolls at Capitol Street in Jackson, Mississippi. Only one-tenth of the 17,000 Black residents who tried to register to vote during the "Freedom Summer" succeeded. Yet, this activism still led to the creation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

This hotel is a diamond in the rough. A little tough to get to, especially if you are new to the area. Once you are there though, this hotel is fantastic. Very open, great natural lighting through the skylight, and a very good restaurant on site.
The staff seem like they truly enjoy working here, from the front deal staff, to the room staff, as well as the other staff.
The hotel is close to Old Towne, the airport, UNM, and Nob Hill. Also close to the 40 so makes it very easy to get almost anywhere in the city.

Awarded annually, the Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellowship was created in 2010 to honor the memory of gifted editor Karen Schmeer. It is a year-long experience that encourages and champions the talent of an emerging documentary editor. It creates opportunities to help cultivate an editor's artistry and craft, and expand his or her professional and creative community.
August 12, 2015
The Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellowship is accepting applications for its sixth annual award now through September 30, 2015.
Applicants must have edited at least one feature documentary (60 minutes or longer) but no more than three and plan on living in the US between March 2016 and March 2017.
March 10, 2015
She captured the screening committee members' hearts and minds on many levels, including her self-described "sense of responsibility" to the sounds and images she assembles, her keen interest in learning from other editors and filmmakers, and her sensitive portrayal of pianist Seymour Bernstein in the feature documentary Seymour: An Introduction. She will officially receive the fellowship on Tuesday, March 17, 2015 at the SXSW Film Festival Awards Ceremony in Austin, Texas.
May 07, 2015
An editor is brought in to work on a long form documentary. The editor initially brings distance, the outsider's eye, to the screening of the director's footage. But ultimately, the editor's job is to absorb the subject of the film through the footage, to live and breathe with the material, making it his or her own, and, ultimately, to emerge with a vision for the possibilities (and impossibilities) of the film. If the editor isn't doing this, the editor won't be able to do his or her job, which is to find and write the narrative of the film using the words and moving images of the subject. Whatever the particular shape of the ensuing collaboration, the editor's artistic process is critically important to the creation of the film.
March 11, 2015
The fifth in a series of posts on POV's Documentary Blog about the regrettably under-appreciated process and craft of documentary editing with fellow Colin Nusbaum:
As Nusbaum's year as Karen Schmeer Film Editing Fellow comes to a close, he and one of his mentors, Jonathan Oppenheim – whose credits include Laura Poitras's The Oath (POV 2010), Stephen Maing's High Tech, Low Life (POV 2013) and Jennie Livingston's iconic documentary Paris Is Burning – discuss the editing process with a year's worth of conversations about the art of editing behind them.

We Elect to Support Democracy
At Jeffco Library, "free speech" is part of our DNA. With the election just a few short weeks away, we remind you of the important role libraries have always played in the democratic process. Libraries are perhaps one of the last bastions of free speech. Stop by your favorite library location this time of the year and you'll see a table chock-full with information about everything from candidates to ballot measures. Pick up a pamphlet. Leaf through a leaflet. Take the Citizen's Guide compiled by the League of Women Voters of Jefferson County. The bottom line is, we encourage you to learn more about the election so you can make an informed decision.
The sign on our election information table includes the following excerpt:
Opinions expressed in the literature on this table do not represent the views of, and are not endorsed by, Jefferson County Public Library.
That said, we certainly DO endorse expressing opinions; and, most importantly, voting!

I'm designing a remake of tetris and need a timer function that runs at the same time as an input function. I'm using pthreads to achieve this, but when I make the call to
pthread_create(&timer, NULL, Timer(), NULL);
I receive an error claiming there is no matching function for call to
pthread_create() despite including
<pthread.h> in my header.
I noticed that another person asked pretty much the same question here. However, I managed to successfully create pthreads on another computer without doing any of what was suggested to that person.
Below is the source code that I am having problems with. I am not asking for you to rewrite it, but rather inform me what's wrong. I'll do the research to fix my code.
#include <pthread.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
void *Timer(void) { //I have tried moving the asterisk to pretty much every
//possible position and with multiple asterisks. Nothing works
time_t time1, time2;
time1 = time(NULL);
while (time2 - time1 <= 1) {
time2 = time(NULL);
int main() {
pthread_t inputTimer;
pthread_create(&inputTimer, NULL, Timer(), NULL); //Error here
return 0;
Thank you

How Much Is Enough? Lyrics
Artist: Bad Religion
Album: Suffer
tell me can the hateful chain be broken
production and consumption define our hollow lives
avarice lead us across the ocean
toward a land that's better
much more bountiful and wide
when will mankind finally come to realize
his surfeit has become his demise?
how much is enough to kill yourself?
that quantity is known today
as we blow ourselves away
tell me is there anything so sure?
rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more!
like a dog that feeds until he suffers
the infirmity of man is
is brought on by his selfish cure

Ask the Phoenix Suns to make an "It Gets Better" video
It's no secret that homophobia is alive and well in professional sports. In recent weeks, we've seen anti-gay slurs and incidents of harassment take place in professional baseball and football, and to this day there is still not one openly LGBT athlete in any major pro sport.
The basketball team the Phoenix Suns, however, have been leaders in professional sports when it comes to discussing LGBT issues. The team's former President, Rick Welts, announced last year that he was gay, becoming one of the highest-profile sports executives to come out. And several players on the team, including Grant Hill and Steve Nash, have talked about the need to stop anti-gay bullying, and support the equal rights of LGBT Americans.
So far, no professional basketball team has decided to make an "It Gets Better" video. It's time to change that. Let's urge the Phoenix Suns to be that team, and set an example for the entire National Basketball Association (NBA) by being the team to create the first "It Gets Better" video in the league.
While this is great news, so far no team in the National Basketball Association (NBA) has made a video for the "It Gets Better" project. I hope the Phoenix Suns can be the first team to make one.
The Suns are in a unique position to be the first pro-basketball team to take this step. Suns superstars like Steve Nash and Grant Hill spoke out about issues like stopping anti-gay bullying. And the former President of the Suns, Rick Welts, became one of the highest-ranking sports executives to come out as openly gay.
Indeed, given this rich history, the Suns would be the perfect team to make an "It Gets Better" video, and send a message to LGBT youth that there is hope for a better world amidst a culture of bullying and harassment in schools.
Please take this step. It would be a huge milestone for the NBA, for professional sports, and for the countless numbers of gay kids who walk the halls of their schools feeling unsafe because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Thank you for your time,

Photos of the Day: Nearly uncovered people promote health-care coverage
Unsurprisingly, there weren't a lot of grabby images associated with week one of Obamacare -- unless you count occasional health-exchange error messages. But there was a notable exception: Earlier this week on the 16th Street Mall, ColoradoHealthOP.org promoted insurance coverage via spokesmodels who were almost entirely uncovered -- as in barely clothed. Good thing the event wasn't scheduled for today. Check out additional Colorado HealthOP photos below, and click here for information about another Obamacare event sponsored by the organization, scheduled for 1 p.m. tomorrow at the Lakewood Library. Although, presumably, the presenters will be fully dressed.

We are lazy people here at the offices of Willamette Week, and we are tightwads. We're way too skint for a $4,000 coffeemaker even if, as we're informed, the purchase of one would prop up an equally lazy economy. But we like a nice homebrewed cup of coffee nonetheless, and are convinced that much simpler gadgets (all between $20 and $160) do as well as or better than the crazy machines, with the addition of a little elbow grease. So we conducted a test of the various low-tech coffee devices currently on the market, using tools either made locally or available at nearby Kobos Coffee, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary as a microroaster. Our goals? Low effort, good cup. Accordingly, we used what you'll probably use, which is whatever beans were sitting around—in this case medium-ground Stumptown Guatemala Finca El Injerto. Here are the results:
The Bare-Bones Pourover
Chemex flask and filter, $38.95 at Kobos Coffee.
Science! The once-futuristic-seeming Erlenmeyer flask is now a downright classic among the coffee set, like shaving with a straight razor after sharpening it on a whetting stone. Overall time for a cuppa is about three minutes of constant attention, from pre-wetting the filter to pre-wetting the coffee to embarking on a two-minute circular pour of water from a swan-necked kettle (not included). It's an oddly satisfying, if somewhat cumbersome ritual.
The result: It's a nice cup of coffee, bringing out sweet, caramelly notes in a roast that can easily tip to pungently bitter.
The drawbacks: The opening on the Chemex is broad, which means you need thick filters that might impart a paper taste unless you wet them first. And there's a learning curve. A bit of trial and error is necessary before you dial in a passable pourover because patience, my friend, must be learned.
The benefits: You get a head start on becoming totally Zen, man.
The Pourover System
Able, $160 at ablebrewing.com.
A deeply domesticated version of Chemex—pourover for cactus owners and people who wear scarves indoors—with a pleasantly Pier 1 shape. It's a cute, modular matching set, with a convenient coffeepot bottom that'll house 32 ounces and a reusable metallic "Kone" filter that obviates the need for icky paper.
The result: Somewhere between paper pourover and French press.
The drawbacks: Gotta clean the cone filter. Know what it's like to clean a pasta strainer? It's like that.
The benefits: Ecology—you ain't wastin' paper. Plus, Able is Portland-founded, made by a defector from Coava Coffee who has since defected to California.
Travel French Press
Bucket Portland Press, $119 at Mr. Green Beans.
This is one of the easiest around. You dump in the coffee, you dump in the hot water, you wait about four minutes, then you come back and slowly press the lid down and pour off the liquid.
The result: Unfiltered, immersion-brewed coffee. Tastes like the beans taste.
The drawbacks: As with all French presses, the bottom of your cup will be muddy with particulates. Also, there's cleanup. Also, French press gives you high cholesterol. Look it up on the Internet!
The benefits: This wood-topped, local, crowd-sourced version of a press pot setup can affix itself to the top of any Mason jar, making it kick-ass for camping.
The Syringe
Aerobie Aeropress, $25.95 at Kobos Coffee.
Super-easy. Scoop in the coffee, pour in hot water and plunge the tube. It's like a caffeine syringe. When you've squeezed out the coffee, you pop out a hockey puck of used grounds, and you're on your way.
The result: Aeropress is terrifically intense in flavor but not always as complex as slower brewing techniques, leading to a characteristic sharpness.
The drawbacks: In terms of method? None. It's easier even than a crappy drip-coffee machine, and easier than throwing the flying discs that Aerobie usually makes.
The benefits: It's a beautiful home approximation of espresso without the need of anything fancier than hot water.
The Siphon
Bodum Pebo, $80 at Kobos Coffee.
The dual-bulbed siphon looks fearsome, as if a wrong move would burn off your eyebrows or create mustard gas. But it's a pussycat. The coffee goes on the top, the water on the bottom. Then you boil it on a burner. When all the water siphons up to the top bulb through the power of Satanic witchcraft, you take it off the burner and let the coffee wander back down into the pot. Easy peasy.
The result: Similar to a French press with no coffee grounds.
The drawbacks: No matter how scientific it all looks, you lack control over brewing times unless you've got the temperature seriously dialed in on your burner. You have to wait until the coffee boils, and if it comes up slowly, you might get some bitter brew.
The benefits: It is, by far, the coolest-looking brewing technique. When done right, it also produces some of the best results.
The Two Favorites:
The Cold Brew
Toddy, $39.50 at Kobos Coffee.
Low tech. Dump the coffee and water in the tub. Put the tub in the fridge and wait 12 hours. Then, pull out the stopper on the bottom and filter the cool coffee into a carafe—which might take up to a half-hour—either as ready-to-go cold coffee or just-add-water coffee concentrate.
The result: My goodness, it's refreshing. Smooth, sweet and lovely, with less of the stomach-upsetting acid of hot brews.
The drawbacks: I mean, waiting 12 hours for some coffee is a lot.
The benefits: On the bright side, if you brew a carafe of concentrate, it might be a week's worth of coffee. Just add hot or cold water, and bam! Coffee. Plus the brewing is effort-free and requires no supervision.
Immersion Drip
Bonavita Immersion Dripper with Melitta filter, $39.99.
As with a similar device made by Clever Coffee (available at Case Study Coffee), the Bonavita lets you keep your coffee sitting in a paper-filtered cone without the long pouring process. Just a two-minute timer, and when it's done flip a dial and let the coffee trickle into your cup.
The result: A lovely brew over which you have total control. You can set your clock to different times, and adjust the flow rate of the water from the filtered cone until you find your perfect cup.
The drawbacks: It's a single-serve brewing technique.
The benefits: Oh, it's a nice cup. It's a really nice cup.

The Software of the Universe: An Introduction to the History and Philosophy of the Laws of Nature
Ashgate, 2005 - Philosophy - 158 pages
The Software of the Universe introduces the history and philosophy of the concept of Laws of Nature addressing both philosophers and scientists with an interest in the methodological and philosophical issues raised by their disciplines. The book reconstructs the main stages of the historical development of the idea of laws of nature and claims that an explanation of the mysterious effectiveness of mathematics in the description of the empirical world is also a key to understand the nature of laws and their function in our knowledge.
This book is a clear and well-written guide to the philosophy of laws of nature and offers a critical survey of the main positions debated in the current literature on the nature of laws of nature.

What's amazing is Nintendo basically already pulled off this concept in Nintendo land... and it actually worked pretty well aesthetically and gameplay wise. Why wouldn't they they take a page from that?
Leave Samus out of this mess please.
Smart Boy? What year is it again? Nintendo would not release a specifically gender-named device. Get out of the nostalgia closet.
Snore. When will this Amiibo garbage stop. Either make enough for people to enjoy them, or go away.
The environments look nothing like the show? Cel shade this bad boy. Why are they going for realism with this thing? So weird.
This thing that is starting to bug me about this E3 is that they are gambling with franchises that already don't bring in the masses like Mario and Zelda. So, if these weird / spin-off / janky versions of Metroid and Star Fox don't do very well they will use the franchise sales as an excuse, and then we won't see proper version for a long time (if ever). Blegh, we need some new management at the big N, me thinks.
Wouldn't Diddy Kong Racing just be kind of cannibalistic at this point? Mario Kart is still alive and well. Nintendo we DON'T need another kart racer... We need adventure games. We need RPGS. We need substance.
Hopefully the tag line isn't "Star Fox Zero: It'll be fun after like two days."
Yes let's aim for n64 graphics in 2015. Blegh.
I just hope Nintendo pays attention to the feedback this year. Clearly this route they are currently on is not the right one.
First thing's first - get rid of Reggie. He is disingenuous and arrogant. You wanna earn back the fans' trust? Get rid of the dirty car salesman you have running NOA.
"We just fundamentally don't believe in showing content at E3 that is going to be a long term proposition."
Riiiiight. That's why Xenoblade Chronicles X has been shown at EVERY E3 event since the system launched. The contrast of the fun loving puppets image vs. the vague & hypocritical "Business" speak of Reggie and Co. is a bit hard to swallow anymore.
Wii U = dead.
So many things wrong here. Why is your character so far away from the camera? Those speed / wind lines are really distracting and look terrible. Blegh.
How about a link to the actual website you're writing about!?
These cheap, quick, cash-in games are the death of the videogames industry and I won't be a part of it.
A lot of you claiming these bargain bin garbage games are harmless, think again. Look at Konami. They are abandoning full-blown games to make cheap little mobile games. Don't support this stuff.
Amiibos have been a joke all the way around. They are gimmicky, barely available (beyond the basic Mario, Pikachu, Luigi), and distract from the simplicity that I always associated with Nintendo. Ready for this fad to be over.
this all just seems clumsy and desperate. Gimmicky toys that have little value in game, and random DLC. Nintendo needs to be careful not to overstretch their core franchises with all this extraneous crap- if an unlockable /buyable Link or Samus outfit becomes the norm for every title it's gonna take some shine off the actual franchise characters.
Welp, I think we can count 2015 as a bust most likely. I'm sure Ninty still has some cards up their sleeve, but nothing that's gonna make people go "WHOA I NEED ONE OF THOSE."
Xbone and Ps4 are starting to hit their stride, while the U is...well doing the same thing it's been doing since launch - releasing about 2-3 good games a year. And the VC is basically dead. I hope they are putting all their resources into the next thing, because being a Wii U owner has been pretty sad.
I'm not sure you understand how criticism works. If every person that ever criticized anything had to first make whatever it is they are criticizing we would have a whole lot less reviews and critics in the world. Must one first make a Flappy Bird clone before one can criticize a Flappy Bird clone? Don't think so.
"the right to criticize others who had the initiative and desire to work commercially on games"
Why are you so quick to give credit where there isn't evidence of it being due? He hasn't completed or released the games? Where's the initiative or desire you're speaking of? Just because he said "I'm going to make a game for the Wii U." He thus becomes a dev that we, as consumers, must all bow to and respect? (This argument has little to do with @Animan13, as he seems like a nice kid), this has more to do with the delusion that simply claiming you are X automatically makes you deserving of all the accolades of X.
What if I released a press statement tomorrow claiming "I am a doctor and I will cure the world of cancer through pizza." I'd probably catch a lot of flack. Are you gonna stick up for me and say "hey come on! He's a doctor! Show him some respect!"?
If NintendoLife was instead called "Keith's Homebrew Games Galore", well then I'd be saying constructive things like "Hey dude, looks good, maybe try to put a bit more polish here or there" or "Hey pal, maybe try to differentiate your game from the other lot of indie flashlight chase titles." But that's not the case - this is a site and forum for Nintendo systems and games, which in my mind should represent the highest order of quality around.
The Wii U is not an Ouya or an android phone, it is a premium console (for a reason). Allowing the eShop to get overrun with wannabe game devs who are releasing cheap, quick, cash-in titles is a lose-lose situation. Here's why:
Video games are business. The Wii U dev kit runs like $5000, so most people aren't picking one up just to soley mess around - they want to make their money back. It's a natural instinct to want to make it back quickly (and easily.) The thought process goes "I really want to make a great original game down the road, but in the meantime I'll make a quick and sloppy Flappy Bird Clone to make some dough and learn the ins and outs of a game engine. Maybe just maybe if I tweak the bird to be a dog (or fly, ahem) it will spark everyone's interest and I'll have a huge hit on my hands." The reality is most of the devs attempt this, but never get around to the "great original game", because those take a lot of time, energy, and resources.
Developing a video game should not be like panning for gold. Devs should not be encouraged to mine well worn territories for the next big, dumb surprise hit or to just toss a little unpolished / unfinished project they've been tinkering with out into the wild and call it a "game". The inclusion and success (no matter how minor) of these kind of games only encourage MORE people to do the same. Look at the Treefall situation - they are making like 5-6 small, quick, crappy games simultaneously and held a conference to show them off (which boiled down to one dude sitting on a couch talking about all the crappy games.) They should be making ONE good game instead, but that's not the trend anymore. In short - we lose because the games are crappy, and the devs lose because too many of them see video game development with a "get it while it's hot" mentality and never end up aspiring to make anything great.
The respect or privilege you speak of should be aimed at the devs, not me. Being a licensed developer for a Nintendo system is a privilege that should not be tossed around lightly. The developer here (who's 19 years-old btw) went from cancelling his game, to maybe not cancelling his game, to totally not cancelling his game in the matter of a day - and opted to post that all publicly via Twitter. And here we are reading about it on NL. These aren't professional game devs we are talking about here that have devoted their lives to video games - these are just dudes that have ponied up the 5 G's for the kit. They need to earn my respect first- they should make a decent game.
Respect for what? Talking about making a game, and then not actually making a game? Because that's all I see happening here (the fact that this is even newsworthy shows what a sad state Nintendo's 3rd party support is).
The skill to program a game is not what it used to be, and isn't inherently proven by some screenshots and a video. Good games require programming skills - bad ones do not. These days anyone with a computer can download a free version of Unity, follow a tutorial, and have a semi-functional "game" in a day.
You're right, I'm not a game dev. Do I have a thorough understanding of 3D modeling software and the Unity game engine? Yes. Do I unleash my tinkerings on the public as games? No.
If you've been around here long enough you'd know I'm not polite when it comes to obvious crap games hitting the eShop.
Uhhh how much time could possibly be needed to complete this thing? Like maybe a weekend?
The only way I will support this is if Link is mute the entire series.
Guarantee amiibos will open up more costume options.
To be honest... I've never really been into watching people online play games unless it's Angry Video Game Nerd (which was years ago) or for review purposes. Watching dudes scream and yell stupid gibberish while they half-donkeyedly play games just doesn't appeal to me. BUT I understand a lot of people really cherish this type of stuff, so I think this is probably bad news for Nintendo. They just can't grab a hold of what gamers really want these days. This will probably F up all the Mario Maker vids they could / should dominate the web.
Sweet, now this mediocre crap can be enjoyed internationally.
Wow. Between the terrible aesthetics, awkward concepts, insanely bad logo / title designs, and ridiculous character designs on display here I would almost accept this as a Tim & Eric sketch.
A balloon trying to save a rainbow? A guy made out of potted plants? A "game" where you can awkwardly scroll around someone's bad Deviantart comic. Seriously, who thinks this stuff is cool?
@RCMADIAX said:
"Time to move on people, cause the "Nintendo eShop has quality issues" record is getting overplayed. This is the new normal, get used to it."
"Getting upset and carrying on pointless conversation that gets brought up in basically every article from an individual developer is getting old."
Just because you and other amateur devs continue to attempt to profit from this kind of trash doesn't mean we, as consumers, should all just accept it.
You're tired of seeing people complain about the lack of quality control on the eShop? We're tired of seeing crappy games released on the eShop. It goes both ways.
If you don't like the criticism that repeatedly takes place here - make a difference and put some effort and time into making a quality game, instead of another quick cash-in that makes the eShop look like a bargain bin dumping ground.
Oh another article about some exploitative trash budget title on the Wii U. I think Ninty needs to tighten up the grip on this stuff. I'm tired of the eShop being a testing ground for devs that just want to take advantage of the consumers.
Dat Ness.
Man, is it just me or does this game look really bad? Not the gameplay... the visuals. They just look so generic and horrid.
Ugh, what a state of gaming we are in. I have been watching X-files lately and the whole "Trust no one" mantra is becoming all too real. Indies, and major publishers are just shoving buggy, barely playable titles out the door with a sort of "we'll fix this later" philosophy, and absolutely no regard for the overall effect this has on the industry and the consumer.
I can dig simplicity, but this recent move, among indie e-shop titles, toward tossing art direction out the window for the most generic, clip-art-esque assets is just sad. Yes, a lot of the old NES titles were simplistic, but there was art direction there. That's why those sprites are ingrained in our memory - people spent a lot of time to create characters and worlds out of a bunch of squares. If you're going to make a game where you are just an arrow and you move the arrow through basic obstacles, well you better make damn sure that game plays well.
I used to enjoy spontaneously buying indie and budget games on eShop, but not any longer. I'm tiring of this "Our next game will be better, we've learned from our mistakes" excuse. Sorry, but I don't wanna pay for you to learn how to make games.
Are we moving back in time? This feels like the Atari days again. The whole point of buying a premium console developed by a major company is to avoid crap like this. Yes, I understand I don't have to buy this or play this. But lately about 75% of the reviews on this site or for crap games like this. I don't blame NL, they gotta cover the games. It's just unfortunate that mostly means these rubbish "I'm learning how to be a game dev whilst making a game and trying to make some coin from it" titles.
Simply owning a computer and Unity should not = indie developer with a Nintendo license. I know Ninty is desperate for that "viral hit" that all the morons will go nuts for ala Flappy Bird, but it ain't gonna happen on the U.
So how did I miss the charm of the game if I pointed out all things that you found charming? I didn't miss them, I just didn't like them. People have tried to tell me I didn't "get" Bayonetta 2, and thus I didn't enjoy it. Nope.
A lot of it has to do with what I consider to be Platinum's dated Japanese sensibilities: constantly making women into objects of lust, over-the-top cliche characters that are completely un-relatable, and this way of telling simple stories in the most clumsy, complicated way that ends up just pushing the narrative into this "aw who cares, it's just so ridiculous" realm.
W101 had a lot of the same problems in my opinion.
I just prefer game design with a little more restraint. Awkward sexuality, tribal tattoos, and the "oh you thought that was crazy, no this next thing is CRAZY" design philosophy just doesn't do it for me.
It's especially accessible to teenage males from the 90s! This game was just too pervy, dated, and adolescent for me.
Whoa semi-naked chicks! Lots of cursing! Corn-rows! Tribal Tattoos! What year is it again!?
Well I read that title wrong... Enthusiasm deflated.
Give us F-Zero GX already! Seriously, you want me to pay attention to the VC again Nintendo? Bring the N64 and Cube titles. Because at this point I haven't bought a VC title in like a year, and I'm bored with these releases.
I will most likely not be a day one buyer of their next system, like I was the Wii U. I love Nintendo's unpredictability just about as much as I loathe their random decision-making process. I think I'll wait and see what happens.
Oh look another RCMADIAX title. Time to go do ANYTHING else.
"Just a year ago, I had nothing, and now I have 6 games on a NINTENDO system."
This sounds like an infomercial.
I've said it before, I'll say it again:
If you treasure the difference between console games and lame mobile / tablet games do not support this kind of crap. Let smartphone losers play this mindless garbage, don't give any incentive for more developers to bring this type of cheap crap to our Nintendo systems.
Welp, this looks like a mess.
I ordered the adapter from Best Buy the day before Smash released on Friday. Got the adapter by Monday. It's crazy how much trouble people have had trying to get their hands on these things.
Notice that Mario is not anywhere near the top of that list. Give the plumbers a break Nintendo!
They are all a cash grab. The difference being that Skylanders and Inifinity have been out for 2-3 years already. One would think that Nintendo would have spent that time studying the competition and thus releasing a complete product, instead of something where the execs are literally saying things like "We're not sure just what these things will do yet."
Here's what I think happened. Nintendo added the NFC tech in the Wii U purely as a fail-safe. Like someone said "Hey just toss it in there, we might might use it one day", with no real plans for implementation. Fast-forward to a couple years later and the Wii U is tanking big-time - no third party support, Nintendo's in-studio game devs are all swamped - they need a quick fix for the investor meeting and some quick cash. BOOM. "Let's use that NFC thing, and just release a bunch of toys that we'll somehow tie into the games." Que the E3 video.
Nintendo can spin this however they want, but the reality is they missed out on this market the first time around when they turned down the Skylanders exclusivity deal with Activision back in the Wii days.
Also, NL's tendency to put some kind of "glass half full" spin on Nintendo's poor decision making is getting to be a bit of a bore.
"This on-going relationship between players and their amiibo is a real hidden positive payload for families."
Huh? Hidden positive payload? PR speak much? Wow. Amiibo is a very late, half-baked attempt by Nintendo to jump into the Toys-to-life or whatever it's called market. That's it. The "hidden payload" is PR speak for "these things are pretty pointless, so one must search for some kind of purpose because it's not currently apparent."
The Skylanders and Infinity concept is easy to understand - "Buy a toy to unlock that character in the game."
Here's the Amiibo concept - "Buy a toy to unlock ...something. Maybe like an item or a costume or some kind of weird AI thing."
One of those two concepts sounds like a solid easy-to-understand concept, and the other sounds like a half-baked scheme. This whole amiibo campaign is the biggest bandwagon jump I've ever seen Nintendo do, and it's pretty sad. For all of Miyamoto's recent talk of innovation and being dedicated to new ways to play, the amiibo stands as the exact opposite of that philosophy. I've said it too many times... Nintendo needs to stop wasting so much resources on this peripheral crap, and focus on games. Blowing on giant gamepads and fumbling with plastic toys are not making your games sell any better.
