Re: Feature: Digging Through Nintendo Patents

The GameCube. Never have I had so much fun with a games console only to see non of my friends having one. They really missed out. Only the second console I've had that I've bought 4 controllers for. First being the Dreamcast. I see an unhealthy pattern of consoles I've bought to success rate of said console... (Not mentioning the Atari jaguar, neo Geo pocket and 3do I had.)

Me and my wife played these on Wii and PS3 with move controllers (I played it on Dreamcast with the amazing light gun). Have a real soft spot for them. Wonder how they will work with joy cons. So many arcade games would work great on the switch. Crazy Taxi and outrun 2 should be next!
Quick edit. Sega bass fishing and it's spin offs would be great too. Would work well with joy con.

Re: Fire Emblem: Three Houses Voice Actor Gets Credit Removed Following Admissions Of Abuse

@Zuljaras Say that to anyone with a disability. I've dealt with people in the deaf community, Down syndrome and general LD conditions and they don't see themselves in a negative way. In fact they are usually proud of who they are.

Also the response to knowing someone with AS. Surely your answer to that is generally an answer to be given to any person in general not aimed at people with a "Mental condition". I possibly found more "normal" people I dislike than people with LD. I currently work with people with LD and dementia. I dislike the staff more than the clients.

@Zuljaras You met many people with Asperger syndrome? I have a nephew with it (amazing lad who has gone on to do amazing things via college and university) and have worked with people with it. Not one has been prone to violence or abusive behaviour. Though there are "Mental conditions" that result in these behaviours it's usually more towards the higher end of autism spectrum.

@BAN I got a slap on wrist for saying s*** myself. S*** myself... S***. My. Self... Anyway do love this site and the community is slightly less venomous than other sites (cough, IGN, cough.) This is a game being released so can understand the article but do question some of the mods censorship.

S*** my self ...

(And you have been censored again. We don't like swear words here, to keep the site friendly for all.)

(On an adult related article... Well played mods... Well played...)

@Silly_G Will ask my wife to put it on the shopping list thank you.
Do agree pornography is too readily available and am dreading my 4yr growing up. However I am very much in favour of people who are of the age and mind to make a decision to watch porn, let them. This game however is not porn. It's adult entertainment. That's been around for years whether it has been literature, film or any other form of media. It's aimed at adults who are able to differentiate
between real life and entertainment. This is why rating systems are in place and should quite rightly be enforced.

Forgettable character name of Alec Mason. Awful... (Remember that my own name is Alan Mason and is only 2 letters off said name. Cries quietly in the corner.)

On a different note have some credit for returned game at an online retailer. Tempted to get this as had so much fun playing online with friends on Xbox 360. I'm off now to go be a forgettable character in real life...

Re: Random: Animal Crossing's Angry Mole Mr. Resetti Has Lost His Job

Beermonkey

Thank goodness for that. Have had my dealings with him in the past... Never reset on purpose (power cuts, ds running out of power, 3ds went through a phase of random freezing before a Nintendo repair) and can say it's worse than being told off by my wife. Though it's close on how much they both go on, and on, and on... Glad he will be in it still. Looking forward to next year.
Side note what a year it's going to be. Especially at E3. Nintendo saved it this year but next year we will have Sony and Microsoft doing their willy waving about next gen and no doubt Nintendo Will have some special stuff hidden away too. Great time to game people!

@Mamabear Double Dash... Picture a sleepy English town. A factory that had 4 people on a night shift. As long as they out produced the day shift everyone was happy. However the day shift were lazy. The night shift could produce double in 6 hours. What to do with the last 6 hours of the shift? Hidden telly. Back pack with GameCube and 4 controllers. Bosses drinks machine key for unlimited coffee he taped to the bottom of his desk. Mario kart double dash. Best job I ever had... A distant memory but makes it the best mario kart (though many will disagree) for me. Baby park, frantic and full laps. Looser gets the coffees. DK mountain is my favourite track ever in any MK game. Seeing a grown man loose it and throw a chair and cutlery because of a blue shell followed by lightening while we all can't stop laughing... Great great times.

Dusted off my GameCube. I will be participating in Mario Party games, Double Dash, Luigi's mansion and a nice collection of other less family friendly titles when my son has gone to bed (Eternal Darkness and Twin snakes). I would love Nintendo to port some of these over. Don't want to see my animal crossing town, would compulsively tidy up every weed before doing anything!
