After twenty-five or so years of Nintendo advising not to blow on cartridges or their connections, it took a 'scientific' study for people to achieve this conclusion. .... My faith in humanity is lost. >.>

@emiru69 Yeah, it's really getting quite annoying. Nintendo should just boycott giving Kotaku exclusive headlines. The amount of times Kotaku bad mouth them is ridiculous. >.>

@emiru69 That comment made me laugh so hard. XD I agree. Kotaku does put out some very poor articles. Their latest of which was "Actually it is kind of BS that Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive." How does this even get posted on the site? >.>

@aaronsullivan I agree. I love my Gamecube controller. Unfortunately, Nintendo had patenting issues (or so I've heard) with the GC controller hence why production in the US and Europe have ceased. So I doubt we will ever see another Nintendo controller like it You can however import a 3 metre cabled white GC from Japan brand new for like $35 bucks from play-asia, but they aren't compatible with Wii U.

@grimbldoo That is exactly what I thought when I first saw the pro controller. For me reaching down and in with my thumbs for the button feels a lot more naturally than reaching up and out for the buttons.

@grimbldoo "But it's still like any other dual shock." Except your thumbs don't smack together if you have big hands.

From the creators of "Actually it's kinda BS that Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive" (even though it wouldn't exist without nintendo) comes more dilerious nonsense. >.>

@Zyph Exactly. On the topic of the Dead or Alive: Dimensions Australia fiasco, that was a classic example of Australian media at its finest. I mean they had a kid being interviewed saying that DOA was more disturbing than a Halo game. For starters, the kid was twelve and shouldn't have been playing Halo, and secondly, the only minor objection I had to DOA was 2 Downloadable costumes. All the included costumes were fairly modest for a DOA game. Anyway not that it bothers me. I wonder how much I'll get for a limited edition PG version of the game on ebay.....................

@A-Hungry-Banker Nintendo produces adult games. Just because a game doesn't have swearing, violence, sex, or blood does not mean it is not an adult game.

@Xilef Haha. I got the idea. I was actually proofreading an essay at the time. So, it was instinctive. lol XD

@Kirk Nintendo is a segmented company. Kind of like a franchise. There is Nintendo Japan, Nintendo Europe, Nintendo America, and Nintendo Australia. If region locking was not in place, there would be no way for Nintendo to evenly disperse profits amongst all four parts of the company. Example: People in Australia would just import their games from America for like $40 cheaper.

Technically, even if a console is region locked, software can still be made region free if the software publisher so chooses. I mean take a look at the Australian version of Pokemon White or Black. It wasn't region locked even on DSi consoles from other regions.
