@Araknie All I know is that people will re-upload all the trailers and announcements and news and not get punished. Cruel world.

Placlu commented on Nintendo Claiming Ad Revenue On YouTube User-G...:
@Araknie Nobody cared till the big guys complained. Now its a major issue.
Been affecting for at least 3 months now

Placlu commented on Nintendo Claiming Ad Revenue On YouTube User-G...:
@Araknie Excuse me but I do youtube not for profit, but for enjoyment. The Money helps buy more games/invest in a capture card for the 3DS.
By "boycotting" nintendo games, I purley mean in a recording sense. The Main reason I GOT a partnership was so my account couldn't just be shut down randomly. I have already been affected by this issue for MONTHS.
Monetising or not, I don't think people realise that if Nintendo says YO thats ours, it's okay though, we will just put ads here for us..
They can at ANY ANY time say LOL JK BYE BYE CHANNEL. cough sega That's the real issue I have. IF Nintendo goes on a tirade there goes my hard work.

Placlu commented on Nintendo Claiming Ad Revenue On YouTube User-G...:
While yes, it's acceptable for nintendo, sony, anyone to do this. I mean I'm making money off your game, should they do it? Hell no. Look at minecraft. Why does that have ten million sales? because people uploaded them building a house. Without Youtube, minecraft wouldn't be as popular.. and notch recognised this, now days Lpers are suggesting how to change the game.
Now nintendo doesn't really need the advertising, but the thing with the auto content match thing is its terrible. Most of the time its picked up my gameplay as their own. No Nintendo, My gameplay is not yours. It's how I experienced the game.
You let people (re)upload trailers. THEY don't add to them, they are stealing them, they are stealing your money. Me? I brought the game. Brought a 3DS. Brought a $300 way to capture it. To share my experience. I've gotten tonnes of messages "thankyou for recording this, I wasn't sure about the game but it looks awesome!"
While my 4 sales aren't mind blowing, its 4 more sales.
Anyone who says "youtubers shouldn't get paid because its not a real job"
Honestly F*** you. I put countless hours into making sure my videos are high quality and the best I can produce. Simply put, if nintendo support this, I won't support them. To be completely honest, I get more money off niche games than Mario ones. Just my opinion, and since its the internet it's probably wrong.

Placlu commented on New Adventure Time Game Coming to Wii U and 3D...:
Knowing Wayforward we will never see this on aussie shores

Oh well what I've played from HIKWYSOG?!! it wasn't THAT great, tho it would have been better on 3DS... Hopefully I atleast get the chance to decide If I want ETDBIDK! on 3DS anyway
Its 3am and im typing gibberish acronyms for absurd titles, time for the sleeps.

Placlu commented on UK Mainstream Newspaper Declares 3DS The "Best...:
I hated the bloody thing when it came out. I used it for 20 minutes and my eyes melted. Didn't have any games, waste of $300 IMO.
Got one for my birthday in 2011....3D land was good, but meh. Sat there for a while. NOW? HOLY GOD YES. On my desk, arms reach. Played EIGHTY TWO hours in march. Love this bloody console <3 And with nintendo ignoring the WiiU and releasing a 3DS game every month? Well.. luckily I don't have a job so game on

Placlu commented on Kokuga Looks Set To Be Released In PAL Regions:
When I first saw this I read the comments and saw a lot of "COME TO THE US OMG PLZ" etc on various sites. Always funny EU gets a game and americans are raging and pissed off that they may not get it, US get a game like say Atlus? We think well thats nice, hope you guys enjoy that
Amuses me. Anyway this isn't my type of game but I think at this point I need to just support them anyway. I need to order a new SD card and ill finally just buy Code of Princess.. it may not be worth the $40, but hey!
#8
Placlu commented on Rumour: Ni no Kuni Could Yet See A Western Rel...:
How similar is the story? from what I've seen of the DS game, the intro is identical. It seems to be more fitting to re-release it on vita or something. I don't know if I would buy it again - depends how different the game is - but more L5 localization is good... looking at you Yokai Watch.. D:

Placlu commented on Video: Nintendo Europe Highlights Key eShop Ti...:
Seriously nintendo make i so easy to spend $100 on the eShop, and then spend another $200 on it. Also made me smile downloading Runner2 that it's 800mb instead of 42, you've come along way nintendo. I think its good some of the more unique ideas even from nintendo are via eShop games. It really fits nintendos style imo.
#10
Placlu commented on BIT.TRIP Runner 2 Dashing To European Wii U eS...:
This is why I created an EU account. Oh well atleast we get it, held off getting it on steam. Can't wait to play it.
#11
Placlu commented on Activision Confirms Fast & Furious: Showdown W...:
ya know this isn't really news
. We don't get a lot of stuff. There's like... 50? games on the UK eShop thats not on the AU eShop. Oh well, it's not like I care.
#12
Placlu commented on Shin Megami Tensei IV Coming To North American...:
Yerp, never coming to Europe.. Not to be that guy but it took 2 freaking years for ghostlight to f*** the game up. Pisses me off that in 2013 europe still dont get releases, and heck, we get DIGITAL stuff days/weeks/months later.
#13
Placlu commented on Out Today: LEGO City: Undercover And Luigi's M...:
went and got both today, and waiting for the eshop to update with Harmoknight.
Honestly I thought the next week would be 100%ing Lego City.. so far ive played for an hour.. and Luigi's Mansion has instead sucked up (lol puns) 5 hours of my day today. Hey new favourite 3DS game
#14
Placlu commented on Famitsu Unleashes New Details On Shin Megami T...:
This is probably never coming to Europe, as with Soul Hackers I guess...
#15
Placlu commented on Nintendo Download: 28th March 2013 (Europe):
It's stupid how much stuff is releasing on 1 day, personally picking up:
Code of Princess, Luigi's Mansion 2, LEGO City Undercover, Harmoknight, Fire Emblem Demo, and a bunch of Previously released VC games... so yerp that's around $200.
#16
Placlu commented on Code Of Princess Picks a Fight With Europe on ...:
That's 5 freaking games coming out on the same day.
(Luigi 2, Devil Survivor Overclocked, Harmoknight, Code of Princess & LEGO City Wii U) that I all want... aughhh!
#17
Placlu commented on Fantasy Life Trademark Emerges in Europe:
I hope every L5 game makes it over. Seems to be a 90% chance if Level-5 is on the box, Its something I'd play.
#18
Placlu commented on Youkai Watch Releasing This Summer in Japan:
I don't think this will be localised, at least not anytime soon.. Hopefully I'm completely wrong. Make an idiot out of me Level 5. I dare you
#19
Placlu commented on Pokémon Scramble U Set To Be The First Wii U ...:
It's not required tho, and aren't there only 6 of them? I don't see why people are complaining. It's there if you want it to be, unlike skylanders forcing it to be.
Hopefully this gets released here, the rumble games are really fun
#20
Placlu commented on Launch of Professor Layton's Final Adventure F...:
..but Phoenix v Layton sold really well right? .. and we are getting that localised yes?.. and we are definitely getting the 6th Layton game translated...? Right Level 5?.. just give us any form of confirmation so I can sleep tonight!
#21
Placlu commented on Pachter: Wii U Will Sell Between 30 to 50 Mill...:
Going to bring this up, again... but didn't we just find out that nintendo can not do anything for like 20 years and still have money? Yearp sure, the WiiU is clearly killing nintendo. Same with the 3DS at launch, yea, that killed nintendo.
Also didn't Patcher say the same thing about the Wii? Waggle? Wtf is that. Move? BRILLIANT 10 POINTS TO SLYTHERIN!
Calling the Wii U a "ds essentially split in two parts" just makes you look like an idiot, you cant possibly downvote nintendo on doing this when your holy savour Sony is doing the same thing with the Vita & whatever that smartglass thing that Microsoft is doing.
My Prediction: Patcher to continue to point out flaws in Nintendo while praising Sony/MS for generations to come.
#22
Placlu commented on Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor Overclocked...:
Well, Unfortunately I won't be able to play it on the 29th, as I can't find a retailer that has it in Australia, and by the time it comes from the UK, Fire Emblem will be here.. oh the dilemma..
#23
Placlu commented on Capcom Releasing Special Mega Man Ultrabook in...:
Uhh... why are capcom releasing laptops instead of games now? I'm kinda interested how much these will be/how decent they are.
#24
Placlu commented on These Disney Infinity Accessories Will Drain Y...:
They look kinda cheap if you ask me. I mean, sure I'm going off a single picture, but for $20... I don't think I'll be picking this up, specially if they already have 50 sequels planed.
#25
Placlu commented on Update to Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate To Bring O...:
I'm not really getting this game (Played the demo, sucked badly at it
) but that's really awesome that they are updating it that way. If they can update the game post release to have Off TV support, more games should enable it. I think nintendo should really make it standard.
#26
Placlu commented on Nintendo Facing Lawsuit Over 3D Technology On ...:
Gotta love how it takes everyone 2-3 years to realise "duah.. nintundo stole mah ideaz!!!!" I mean I get why.. Money. but still make you look stupid to begin with
#27
Placlu commented on Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Has A Little Less...:
Tempted to import a US 3DS, I doubt this will come to Europe anytime soon (if ever), considering we are just getting Devil Summoner Overclocked next month or so (You know that 2009 DS game, and 2011 3DS game for Americans, that's sequel is already bloody out!) I wish we could get beyond the time of Region Lock next generation; If everything's going digital why restrict it?
Also regarding this game and voice acting; if it turns out like Virtues Last Reward, we won't even get English voice acting
Has Fire Emblem been confirmed for Europe getting dual audio? Time to import me thinks.
#28
Placlu commented on Cryamore Confirmed to be Adventuring Onto Wii U:
@bulby1994 It's also because Nintendo are way more relaxed on how things are done, specially pricing. So yea, both eShops will be getting a lot more attention which is good game wise, but bad for my wallet
#29
Placlu commented on Cryamore Confirmed to be Adventuring Onto Wii U:
They tried wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too hard on that video.
But it's neat to see all these kickstarter projects coming to WiiU, Nintendo is really stepping it up on the indie scene.
#30
Placlu commented on Cars Confirmed As Another Disney Infinity Play...:
@rjejr It's a Kids game for kids that the oldest movie they've seen is Toy Story. They will make more money that way.

Braverly Default, Layton VS Phoenix Localization! Do it
#32
Placlu commented on Rayman Legends Challenge Mode Coming Exclusive...:
As one of the "I brought my WiiU for Rayman" people, I'm still pissed off. You flowered up ubisoft, and nobody will forget that. The game you produce better be perfect since you've delayed it over a year! (August > November > February > September!)
#33
Placlu commented on Talking Point: The Year of Luigi Could Bring a...:
I still don't get why Sticker Star wasn't a Wii U Launch Title, and Dream Team came out last year. Oh well. I think its neat Nintendo are focusing on Luigi.. but still they have a lot of franchises that are forgotten. A 3DS "New Super Wario Land" would be nice; Chibi Robo got NPC only in Japan, Advanced Wars 3DS.... Captain Rainbow 2?
Hey, DKCR 3D exists now, anything can happen!
#34
Placlu commented on 3DS Circle Pad Pro XL Coming To The UK March 22nd:
Altho I would probably never use it, It would be nice to use on my standard 3ds, I wonder if the XL one would fit on my 3DS since it's modified.. Hmm.
#35
Placlu commented on Nintendo Announces Mario & Luigi: Dream Team F...:
Did anybody notice, in the EU stream he said "The 3DS Version will be released this summer"... I'm probably overlooking it..
#36
Placlu commented on Sorry Australia, You're Not Getting The Walkin...:
@doctor_doak ah, I know at launch at least it wasn't available in Australia on some platform.
#37
Placlu commented on Sorry Australia, You're Not Getting The Walkin...:
we didn't get the tell tale game either on steam.
is "australia dosen't get a game" really news anymore?
#38
Placlu commented on Rayman Legends No Longer a Wii U Exclusive, De...:
PIsses me off that its being delayed... how many times now? Meant to be a launch title! This was the game that made me buy a Wii U, Do i regret buying one? well, no.. cause obviously there will be the first party nintendo games I want, but dam ubisoft. I'll probably be picking this up on PS3, two reasons. 1. No Murphy bullpoo. 2. My OCD Likes to keep series on the same console.
ugh, Seriously ubisoft you make great games.. sometimes, but you sure screw up a lot.
#39
Placlu commented on Amazon Lists The Legend Of Zelda: Wind Waker H...:
Well technically $60 is only $10 more than the PS3 HD Remakes... well Australia that is, so its going to be like $80 here. Dam region lock.
They will make it full price like Oot 3D... and well I brought that for $70... (yes 3DS games are about $10 cheaper than a new release PS3/360 title. Sad isn't it.)
#40
Placlu commented on Disney Infinity Will Have A New Game Released ...:
It's all a phase... It's all a phase... It will stop soon... It will stop soon... right?
I want to play these games (Skylanders/Infinite) but being australian we are already paying $30-50 more than most, and well, it dosen't take a genius to figure out we get screwed.. at $20 per character (for the Skylanders atleast) and with infinite having playsets also... Yea, for a probably 5-8 hour game, it's not really worth the price.
#41
Placlu commented on Atlus Lifts The Lid On Shin Megami Tensei: Dev...:
We got the other 3DS SMT Game right?
Considering that in the EU direct, they showed SMTxFE, that's confirmed for Europe/Australia (or a giant iwatatroll)... so maybe? Logic & reasoning?
#42
Placlu commented on Rumour: New Sonic Title Dashing To Wii U And 3DS:
Odd that Wii U, PS3, 360, 3DS, Vita, 720, PS4 and PC are all getting this game. I don't think that'll happen.
Just imagine colours in HD.. Shiinny.....
#43
Placlu commented on Talking Point: Wii U Direct - Tell Us What You...:
It's a real slap in the face making you rebuy the games. I get they are being redone for Miiverse etc and you don't HAVE to buy them.. but still.
The biggest SHOCK for me was the SMT x FE Crossover. Not so much the fact it exists, but its going to be released in Europe (and Australia!). waits patiently for Persona 4 Arena
#44
Placlu commented on Out Now: The Cave's Exploration Begins on Nort...:
Well it's Wednesday In Australia now... so.. Australia Thursday? I wanna get this on WiiU so I have SOMETHING to play on it, but depending on waiting for days on end, and ultimately paying more for it..
#45
Placlu commented on Enhanced Version Of Professor Layton And The M...:
Sooo... it's a full priced version of the game on the eshop.. with extra story & whatnot?... I don't wanna buy the game again, but if it were DLC, ya i'd be down for that.
Certainly... unexpected.
#46
Placlu commented on Code of Princess Will Only Be Available On 3DS...:
@sillygostly Aussie 3DS's can connect to the EU Store, just change your location to UK, and you will be able to acess it, granted it will cost more and you will need a credit card, but we will atleast be able to play it. You won't loose your Aussie store details too, I hot swap between them all the time.
#47
Placlu commented on Code of Princess Will Only Be Available On 3DS...:
Noooo
It's not the fact I can't look at the game on my shelf with 100 other games, its the pricing point.. Full Release Nintendo games are around $70 here in AUS, and to put that in perspective, I got Sticker Star on launch for $47 (That's Cheap here...sadly). I just hope, we don't get screwed over price wise..
It's times like this I wish we were over region lock.
