I'm assuming this will be done through their Nintendo Zone partnerships, as he said "28k" access points and right now Nintendo has around 29k Nintendo Zone locations. Maybe saving everyone's StreetPass data for a few hours or a day and distributing it. That's what I extrapolated from it, anyway. I mean I know what an access point is vs. what a router is, but I'm not sure what else it can really mean in this context.
I remember waiting all day to come home from school to play the first AC for Gamecube. I'm feeling that same excitement today as I wait for 9PM to roll around for the digital release.
An actual Sonic and Mario co-op game would be much more interesting to see than another Olympic game. I played the first Mario & Sonic Olympic game on Wii, and the controls were bad enough to drive me away from the series for the rest of my life.
@ikki5 They announced it on Facebook when they put it up https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=463249920426133&set=a.120520318032430.30157.119240841493711
I saw it, but it seemed like a waste of coins. Which is not to say that a lot of Club Nintendo's selection isn't already. Then again I have shelves for all my game stuff.
Sorry, I'm still failing to see the issue. Right off the bat, he calls it silly for them to want to make money because LPers are using Nintendo's characters in their videos. Nintendo's characters.
I can see if they were reviewers and they were reviewing products for their website, but they're not. At least, not unless me watching a child playing Super Mario World counts as a review, but that is absolutely reaching for justification.
My advice to them would be to adapt to the situation and find new ways to earn what little income they were already earning, and maybe do additional videos/segments on the side that don't feature characters and properties that do not belong to them. If they really have that many viewers, it shouldn't be an issue and could boost your success if you come up with something particularly entertaining.
I really hope they put serious consideration into it, because I would think there's more money for them there. Having to miss out on things like Xenoblade Chronicles because I didn't buy it fast enough or refuse to pay messed up prices online should be a thing of the past with the advent of digital downloads.
Yeah, thank god Nintendo hand-picked quality titles like NES Golf and those style games for eShop/VC. I'd like this comparison a lot better if they put out VC games that I actually want to play.
The handful of people I know that support PETA are vapid slacktivists. On the flip side I know tons of people who push for animal rights, but they all know better than to get behind PETA.

@SBOY Correct, midnight Eastern but I'm Pacific. They did the same thing for Fire Emblem: Awakening, so the release time is server-side apparently.
