I love the negative attitude people have about the way nintendo releases things.
I'm more mad at them for never giving us flipnote 3D, but I understand why they wouldn't JUMP on 3D Snes classics just yet. Why do that when you can milk the NES classics to death?
Piracy wasn't a big issue when games were better value for their buck. In other words, twenty years ago almost every game you played had massive after stories and were filled with (at the time) massive amounts of content based on the limitations of the hardware at the time.
Compared to super mario world, there hasn't been a mario game nearly as big since (mario 64 doesn't even have the same level of replayability or after game).
So in other words, if you want people to start buying your product more, you should probably make your product worth buying. Five hour game campaigns are the reason no one forks up real cash for games anymore.
I remember the last time there was domestic terrorism in the states... when they interviewed the guy who killed all those people-- he said it was because he saw dirty pictures on a nintendo console and it ruined his life forever. Thanks nintendo for preventing anything like that happening again.
Lacks unique characteristics... like all fire emblem characters. I wish he had applied that logic before he started filling the game with so many boring characters.
Fun fact, DSi was region locked, as well as later versions of the dslite.
Nice try at being condescending, the reality is; I never said it would fix the problem completely-- it'd help alleviate some of the piracy and some is better than none.
But you decided to be so witty that you saw past any point i might have in some hopes that you could make a clever, funny remark.
Its the fact that most tablet games are free and more parents are likely to own a tablet than a 3ds.
Honestly Tablets should be outlawed because they are the biggest scam in the history of technology. Its half a laptop, does half the things, with a quarter of the power and people pay three times as much for one.
I've tried starting one up here in Michiana, but everyone is pretty paranoid. Despite the fact we'd be meeting in the middle of the most active mall in northern indiana.
Oh well, if people wanna be scared of their shadows, let them. I'm gonna be out living life.
But resale places do love stuff like this, destroy a thousands of copies of one game.... bam, the value of that game goes up. Its kind of disgusting really.
News flash, if they're a drawing or a video game character, they aren't children.
Children are those little gross human larva running around in this thing we like to call 'the real world'.
We can have images of murder, images of rape, but images of teenagers being mildly sexualized is somehow considered horrific.
I hate the priorities of western civilization. Lets pretend teenagers aren't sexual and don't want to have sex. Lets just do that. Watch the insults, we can have this conversation without being horrible to everyone else — TBD
Buy them Nintendo. Buy them and Bandai Namco, you know what, also buy Sega while you're at it. At this point, Nintendo is the only company that seems to care about the few remaining Japanese publishers.
Thank you nintendo. Don't fall for the moronic pressure that somehow dropping the gamepad and upping your graphical power will equal automatic improved games and sales. It wont. Anyone who thinks that is a norbit.
E3 really is a joke anymore, they need to go back to the old days of it being an actual eletronics expo, not a place for over hyped games to over inflate themselves.
I think its fantastic that they are skipping the cringe worthy live presentations.
Every year those presentations by any company, be it sony, microsoft, or whatever just get worse and worse.
Plus the whole E3 privilege is toned down this way, we all get equal access to videos and such without hyper emphasis on having crappy reporters getting the news back to us.
Which is whatever to me, because I would rather have a third person game over the first person game we got.
As good as the prime games were, I did like what the Other M did as far as concept, controls were awful, but the idea of a more action oriented, less 'slave to shooting' metroid game would be amazing.
A metroid game that handled like Beyonetta would be pretty much perfect.
Good, then maybe they'll merge with Namco Bandai finally.
After that Nintendo can buy all three of them and have a strangle hold on most Japanese game makers, just like how Microsoft and sony have strangleholds on most American game makers.
Not fixing it so much as gutting it to make it play like Melee.
Its an okay cause, but I think Brawl was a fine game on its own. Unlike ninety percent of common opinion spewing sheep out there, I feel like it was superior to Melee.
Melee had a lot of problems and nostalgia goggles makes it hard for fantards to see that.
I don't understand the love of Indy games or kickstarter games.
In all honesty, most of the ones that do well, are not the interesting, well thought out games with new ideas and concepts. Its the ripoffs of previous ideas that get funded and made. Sure its nice, but it shows a general lack of creativity.
I've yet to see too many indy games that I'd consider masterpieces.
The lack of agumon on this list is disturbing. Digimon's rivalry with pokemon was as strong as Sonic's with Marios in their hayday. It can't be ignored. Also it'd be a lot more unique than pacman or more dudes with swords.
Demos sell games, always have. That is why they put up with having little kids destroy their controllers and handhelds at stores like walmart, because playing a game for five minutes can be enough time to say "God I need this!"
I would have never bought it any of those times if I hadn't had the opportunity to see if I liked it first.

Re: Sakurai Explains Why Chrom Didn't Make It Into Super Smash Bros. For Wii U And 3DS
Lacks unique characteristics... like all fire emblem characters. I wish he had applied that logic before he started filling the game with so many boring characters.
Re: Poll: Which is Your Favourite Super Smash Bros. Challenger So Far?
MEH MEH MEH. The number of fire emblem characters in this game... TOO DAMN HIGH!
But then again I think one fire emblem character in smash bros is too much.
Too many damn humans or human like characters.
Dillon and Midna not being playable in favor for characters like Robin and Palutena is down right blasphemy.
Re: Sakurai Explains Why Chrom Didn't Make It Into Super Smash Bros. For Wii U And 3DS
Its like trying to say "I didn't put this boring FE character in here because I already have a bunch of other boring FE characters in the game".
Basically if it isn't super humanoid and doesn't have a female version, its not making it into smash.

Re: 3DS System Update 8.0.0-18 is Now Live
The updates are almost always to fight piracy. Nothing any more interesting than that.
Just take away the region lock and you'll fix a good portion of the pirating.
Re: Video: Midna's Unique Fighting Style Brings Extra Chaos to Hyrule Warriors

Midna would have been far better in smash bros over boringtena.
Re: Stats Suggest That UK Kids Are More Likely To Game On A Tablet Than A Nintendo 3DS
