Well, I bought myself a knock-off Ranger costume. Granzella sells Unidentified U-Man costumes? So I bought myself a Red and the Red U-Man's Minibike. Cause I'm that level dork!

Got 25 Achievements in the past week and am gearing up for 5 more. :3

Dunno why I never got the DLC in The Force Unleashed, but oh well. Moving on to the Tatooine pack!

I'm near the end of case 3 of Ace attorney 3, just one more trial segment to go.

Playing Saints Row IV. Got the explosive power DLC. Explosive Blast is gloriously overpowered. Same goes with Freeze Buff.

The Third is my favorite. IV is just a little to over the top for me.

So I recently read a story where a former Nintendo exec said that the dismal sales, and declining sales, of the Wii U are because of the name. .. Really? It's not because of the weird DS controller or your game lineup? YOu could call a system Kitten Murder Death Machine and if the controller was solid and the games were good people'd still buy it by the millions.

Actually I feel the naming thing does make sense.

People are very much psychologically affected by the names, and to most people the Wii U sounds like an add-on to the Wii. My sister believed that it was for the longest time.

Of course, the controller and games might have been a factor too. Usually, it's not just one thing.

No that's a very solid argument. You'd probably be surprised then at the number of people, mostly parents, who don't believe it's a new thing, separate from the Wii. They "don't see the point in buying it" if it's just the same -- to them. (I had a talk with my aunt about it last year around Christmas since my cousins weren't able to explain it well enough. The confusion is out there.)

At least with other console successors, like PS2, PS3, hell even Xbox One and 360.... The number makes it clear it's different. It's new.

WiiU is one... A pretty dumb name. Two, doesn't really convey it's new.

That said, it really is only a part of the problems with the console, that's true.

Weird Ds controller? The Wii U gamepad is one of the best controllers ever. People shouldn't be discouraged at the gamepad and the idea that you are dumbfounds me.

No, I have one. Its just some people don't like the awesome Wii u gamepad.

Persona 3 FES

I'm worried about you Kenji.

Student Council isn't that exciting so far.

Wait, isn't that boss from the front of the train that preistess boss in the Hollow Forest from Persona 4 Golden?

The next block of the Tatarus is annoying to get through.
