Re: NPD Q1 Spend Shows 1% Drop Despite Substantial Hardware Boost

@ReverandJames:I agree with you.I never thought you had no sense..heck I believe anyone who has the money available to buy whatever game or system they like. I would if i could but i feel you have heard about the uk's economic woes as well. I hope things get better for yall. Don't let the haters make you feel outta place for doing what you love cuz soon as i can get back on my feet you bet your bottom dollar i would buy a wii u and more 3ds games! Happy Gaming!

@faint:That's true but why does it seem like everything has went up? Games may be priced the same but i feel with the way this economy is they should do more deals. I'm sure the game companies are aware of this"recession"(I call it depression) we are going through why can't they adjust the prices based on economy instead of their suggested retail price? There are people who are missing out or went totally the ios/android/piracy route just to save money. The companies I understand need to make a profit but for some reason i feel they are outta touch or just don't care. It's bad enough you gotta pay more for everything else Groceries,gas etc. but couldn't they adjust the price a little?

@Findonovan95:that's the point i was trying to make. Games are getting expensive but it's more of a do these customers have the income to support such a hobby in the first place type of thing. This economy sucks and everyone who raises the prices or just overlooks the "budget crowd" with their prices. Sure nintendo products are a better alternative to CoughPS4CoughXbone but what if the customer is like me and is in financial ruin and can't get anymore games with no money job or income to back it?

@ Reverandjames: 1) You probably have a job and 2) You don't live in illinois...case you guys and gals forgot some of us are in an economic choke hold...like me. I wish i could get a wii u but I have no job or money and my father lost his job last december so there's no new games for me. I would love to support nintendo further but it's hard out here son.

Re: Feature: Memories of the Wii and DS Wi-Fi Connection Era

Andremario

The wep thing always killed it for me. Only good/fond memory i had was playing Mario Kart ds online. The old system sucked because wep is so hard to find these days..withering technology FA REAL! Now MK7 is way more enjoyable online now with the new way to get online it's a lot easier. I still wanna try RE Revelations online I heard it's awesome but nope I kinda miss the ds online because that means I will no longer be able to play bomberman blitz online but hey it's cool. R.I.P lil homie You were troublesome even downright difficult to connect to but it was fun when that's all you had. S/O to starbucks for having wifi

Re: New 3DS System Update 7-2-0-17 Now Live

Andremario

@KnightRider666: I feel that's where the first focus should be. Stablize my account where i can have games on both the 3ds and the wiii u so that way if I drop my system(3ds) in the toilet i can have the same games on wii u and just repair said 3ds and them transfer my games to whatever system i want.

Re: Download Sales On Nintendo Formats Have Trebled In The Last Two Years

Andremario

I am shocked that somebody has been able to shut @peach64 up!lol I'm so sick of her negative nancyisms! Either way I am unfortunately part to blame for the massive spike in digital download sales for the eshop. I have a 3ds and ever since i have not been able to find a physical copy of Fire Emblem Awakening when it first came out I went digital. I've probably spent about$1,000 to $2000 on digital downloads. I'm sorry but it's so dang convienient! I don't have to lug around several cases of games when i wanna play and switch up on the go. I mean seriously there are too many 3ds games out there to sit there and lug around each and every case or even the little cases that hold four games each. The 3ds library is getting as bad as the original DS library...THERE'S TOO MANY COOL GAMES!

Re: Research Firm IDC Anticipates Worldwide Wii U Price Cut in Late 2014 to 2015, Increase in Retail Downloads

Andremario

I agree with the 45% drop in physical sales. I am one of those 45% that only buys digital so I don't have to lug around all those game cards just to play on the go. It's more convienient to boot the 3ds up and get to playin' instead of nsmb2 then take the card out switch to another game rinse and repeat..sorry but nintendo releases so many good games it's easier to keep up with them if they are on your big ol trusty sd card.

Re: Grinsia Heading To The North American 3DS eShop On 8th May

Andremario

@ legend_of_shawn: I agree it looks like chrono trigger(just completed my first playthrough yesterday)but i get the feeling people are trying to say that even those graphics suck which i totally disagree! I like chrono trigger and as long as grinsia plays as fun or as close as you can get then i'm on board! I like jrpgs and rpgs alike so as long as it's $10 or under it'll be an insta buy for me!

Re: Grinsia Heading To The North American 3DS eShop On 8th May

Andremario

How does it look bad again? It reminds me of chrono trigger and if that's bad then you guys and gals don't have open minds...you want the best graphics? Prepare for your gameplay to be compromised...tbh if you think it looks bad how about playing it before you judge it? Honestly should the graphics matter? How real do you want it..see sweat and armhairs? or immersive gameplay. That's what it boils down to is the gameplay. Go look for fifa2014 if you want graphics over gameplay because you might overlook a hidden gem if you are so focused on how realistic it looks. You people sound like my old friends back in the day of the bit/console wars "oooh blast processing" "better graphics" blah blah just download it and have fun quit getting your panties ruffled up..it's just a game yall.

Re: GameStop Plans to Close Around 120 Stores in the Coming Year

Andremario

This is not good news at all! I feel bad that someone else has to either join me in the unemployment line or join me in begging for change in order to be able to catch public transit just to go to the next job interview...this is not good news at all. Who ever wants them to close is probably either 1) not very pleased with their business practices(and who would be anyway) or 2) obviously callous individuals who get handouts from family or trust funds from family or the like and completely have no real visual idea of what it's like to try and make it in today's America...let's face it life is hard. There's no reason to make it harder on the next man or woman tryin' to come up. I will miss them if any of the stores around me close even though i have gone digital I still believe the midwest and other states in The U.S. should have dedicated gaming stores. Like another individual pointed out earlier in the comments...funcoland and eb games got bought out by gamestop so this is what we're left with and that's not a bad thing just a misadventure for us common folk..sigh!

Re: Grinsia Heading To The North American 3DS eShop On 8th May

Andremario

I remember seeing this game on google play! I bought so many other games and got so into the other games i didn't have a chance to buy this game when i had the money. I was afraid i wouldn't finish the other games i started but heck if this game is around $4.99 to$9.99 then I'm on it! I wanted this game for awhile and now it's coming to 3ds? PERFECT!

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Twenty Three

Andremario

Hey guys! I'm back! Been a long time but that's another story for another time. Just wanted to let you all know that this weekend I will be finishing my first playthrough of Chrono trigger Ds. I am done with all the sidequests and I'm just about to start the BLACK OMEN! It's weird how epic this game is and what's even weirder is how I've been instantly hooked sinced the title screen. Moreover what's even more weird is how this game that I knew about has never been played by me until 19 years after the dang thing was released on SNES. Let me tell you up until now I've felt pretty mighty beating the snot out of everyone up to this point but now that I've reached the climax of this game I'm starting to feel inferiority complex majorly! Just Look at that damn thing! The black omen looks pretty intimidating...well to anyone who hasn't played this game PLEASE try it out it's magic on a card. It's epic( I know we all hate that term) but there's no other word to describe it. For a game to evoke these many emotions inside me(fear,Despair,loathing, joy, sadness, Self worth) In other words this is the adventure of all adventures! To all my fellow gamers keep gaming! Please wish me luck as i get my arse handed to me tomorrow by lavos..here goes nothing!

Re: Nintendo Not Focusing Too Much On What Other Companies Are Doing

Andremario

@haywired: The 3d was theirs first on a portable console to use first. They may not have invented the concept of 3d but they perfected it first. As far as the gamepad I'm assuming you're referring to it's another example of taking an established concept and perfecting it for gaming purposes. No one entity can be solely original. Everyone get's some motivation from somewhere. It's the same with how sony and Microsoft ended up with motion control after nintendo did.
