Topic: Question of the Day II: #511: What 2014 release are you looking most forward too?

I think it might have been timely, then again other well selling systems had a real long time support( PS2 I'm looking at you) and some people(like me) didn't even notice....

It ran a good course of seven years.

It died when WiiConnect24 shut down, Nintendo needs to put it to rest and focus on the Wii U.

I'd say if a console stills manages to sell decent numbers like Wii still does, Nintendo should keep it a while longer. But maybe this is only the family edition model or they have plenty of stock already. Sony does it, look at the PS2, it was manufactured for 11 years! I'm not saying the Wii could last 11 years, but surely another year of production would be reasonable.
Wii Mini has a new bundle in Europe with Mario Kart and they could probably stills sell a million Wii consoles worldwide or so this holiday season.
I feel like we're witnessing the end of an era. It was the little white box that drawn me back to consoles and Nintendo. And looking at the big picture, it's undeniable, Wii changed videogames forever. Very few consoles can achieve that.

Yes. Finally. Now it'll stop cannibalizing the sales for Wii U.

Ok so I have been thinking and I think that question 500 will be the final question. At this point I dont see this thread as being too active so I still am not sure what I will be doing. But let me just say that I have been having fun reading all of your questions and I hope you have been enjoying the questions that I ask even though it does take me a few days to come up with one. I still have a few more questions to figure out what I will be doing with this thread so until then.......

Question #494: Has the government shutdown effected you in any way?

Don't even get me started on the stupidity of our government right now. But to answer the question, my dad gets to stay home from work now. Unfortunately that also means he's not getting payed either

...It's made me realize I should probably look up real world news every once in a while...that's....something....

Not really no. I don't pay any attention to our government's sheer idiocy, it's just not worth my time.

Instead of working two part time jobs, I'm now working one. And with car payments and a mortgage to worry about that's not something I can support for long.

No. The US government shutting doesn't affect me in any way. BTW, this is the 17th time the gov't has shut down in it's history.

What goverment? Oh wait you mean the one from the united states.

No, not at all.

Not at all. Also, as @bezerker 99 said, the government has shut down multiple times in the past without any major implications whatsoever, so I'm sure we'll be fine this time too.

Considering how I didn't even know this happened 'til now..., no.

Yes, I am very worried and upset. There's people and families who won't be paid. I just hope the shutdown won't go on too long.
Edit: /whispers: Should be "affected you" not "effected you" I believe

Not at all.

Nope, I'm not a United States citizen. Worse than the shutdown is the debt default planned for 17th October, if the Congress fails to pass a bill extending the sovereign debt ceiling. That would have devastating consequences on the world economy, it would be just like 1929 all over again. And coming from one of the EU countries already facing debt problems and a severe recession, I say we don't need any more of those. And it would be just utter irresponsible because we all know the current lockdown boils down to Medicare.. and the insurance companies lobbying. We all knew the lobbies wouldn't go down without a fight.

Hasn't affected me, and I'm sure it won't. I guess the only way it's gonna affect me is just how much every single person I run into will be using it as another excuse to get mad at Obama.

Obamacare itself is going to affect me far more than a room full of elected officials not showing up to work and the media circus surrounding them. i am not looking forward to next year.

that said, here's hoping everyone in Washington can get their heads outta their butts soon so we can keep the world economy limping along at least.

Not directly, but I'm sure it indirectly affects me in some way.
Edit: To all those claiming that politics is worse now than it has been, no it's not. Politics has always been, always will be, dirty. For evidence, go look at the presidential campaign between Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams.
