"the huge prevalence of piracy devices that plagued the DS" The thing is, though: pirating the DS costs money, yet pirating the Wii doesn't. You'd think it would be the other way around. Hm.
I was planning to get a 3DS near Christmas anyway, so this price drop didn't really change my opinions much. It did, however, give me a chance to buy 2 extra 3DS games.
This is good news for me. It just so happens that I own/don't care about all of these games. So I don't care about getting them for free. Therefore, since I wasn't planning to buy a 3DS until late this year anyway, this just saved me $80.
Hackers will find a way. I'm sure the Wii had similar warnings when it started out. That's not to say that I'll put Homebrew on my 3DS (whenever I get one), but it's inevitable. Hackers are tricky, and have a knack for getting around things.
To be honest, this is kinda bordering on "so what?". It's a game that few people will likely care about, which is out already on other consoles, won't be released for a year and a half, and will be released on a console which isn't out yet. It just seems a little bit ridiculous to me.
Eh, the WiiWare game is fun for a while. Then it just gots repetitive. It's still sorta fun multiplayer, though. I could've sworn I'd seen this game under a different title recently, though.
Heh, Nintendo's trolling. They've had plans to bring the games over this whole time, but they wanted to get some lulz out of what people would do if they said that they wouldn't.
Let's have some news involving something other than this. It's stuff like this that made me get a Wii in the first place. If I cared about RPGs, I would have a different system.
I know how terrible Secret Rings was. Yet, for some reason, when I pick it up, I can't put it down for days. Black Knight didn't quite have that same additctivity, despite the fact that the controls were so much better. Hm. I hope they make something as addictive as Secret Rings again.
Hiroshi Yamauchi retired to be the Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2002, leaving Iwata as his successor of choice. He retired from that position about 3 years later. He still remains the largest shareholder of Nintendo, though.
[inb4argument about Blu-Ray Ownership] Honestly' I don't care in the slightest. If it's anything like the Wii, it'll be softmod-able to allow DVD and/or Blu-Ray anyway.
This is ridiculous. I can't say I didn't expect a ten, but I can say that I don't think it deserves it. The original version is probably the second most boring Zelda game I've played, surpassed only by the original (and I've played Zelda II.) I doubt that the enhanced visuals did anything to fix that. I'd say this deserves a 7, or perhaps an 8 at most. (For those who may be wondering, my favorite Zelda game is Twilight Princess.)
THE ACTOR DOESN'T HAVE POINTY HAIR OMGWTFGTFO! In all seriousness, this could turn out to be really good or really terrible. I'm thinking that the latter is more likely, but I'd love to be proven wrong.
In my opinion, this is the best Lego game since Star Wars. Harry Potter was a bit of a letdown with its glitches and whatnot, and Batman and Indiana Jones just didn't quite cut it. This is definitely back on the right track.
I hope that they fix the numerous glitches that were in the first game. Also, I've heard a rumor about Lego The Hobbit, which might coincide with the release of the Hobbit movies. I hope it becomes more than a rumor.

Re: Iwata Writes Open Letter to 3DS Owners to Say Sorry
I'd pay to see Sony and Microsoft do something as humble as this.
Re: Koizumi has "Too Many Ideas" for Mario on Wii U
@3 As soon as you said "scan" my mind jumped to Metroid Prime. I'm excited now, just thinking of the possibilities of a Wii U Metroid Prime game.

Re: If Fans Speak Up, Majora's Mask 3DS Might Happen
Hellz yes! It might actually give me a chance to beat the game!
Re: Nudge Nudge, Marvel Pinball Rolls Towards Wii U and 3DS
@9 Metroid tables? You mean something like this?
Re: BIT.TRIP SAGA
@1 Don't judge the series until you've played Core. It the most rhythm-based (more so than Runner, even). Runner is my second favorite, though.

Re: Capcom Apologises for Poorly Worded Tweet
Am I the only one just laughing here?Both at the ridiculousness of Capcom AND of the fans. It's just hilarious.
Re: Nintendo Trademarks Mii U, WiiWare U, Wii U Music and More
DUDE! It just struck me when I saw "Wii U Music"! They could make another Elite Beat Agents!
Re: Hopes for CRUSH3D to Launch This Year Have Been Crushed
I prefer Crush 40 anyway.
Re: Let's Get Ready to Super Pokemon Rumble on 3DS
Eh, the WiiWare game is fun for a while. Then it just gots repetitive. It's still sorta fun multiplayer, though. I could've sworn I'd seen this game under a different title recently, though.
Re: 3DS Could Be Your Ticket to International Museums
You can't make space shuttles without making airplanes first, I believe he meant.
Re: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows DS Looks Like This
They look like midgets. My favorite Harry Potter game will always be the GBA version of the first game.
Re: Tales of Graces Wii Will Not Be Released In the West
All of these games will be released on the Wii U. Just you wait...
Re: Localisation Evidence Grows as Pandora's Tower Demoed at Expo
Remember that time when NintendoLife's members didn't complain constantly?
Re: Localisation Evidence Grows as Pandora's Tower Demoed at Expo
Heh, Nintendo's trolling. They've had plans to bring the games over this whole time, but they wanted to get some lulz out of what people would do if they said that they wouldn't.
Re: Pachter to Operation Rainfall: "I Agree"
Let's have some news involving something other than this. It's stuff like this that made me get a Wii in the first place. If I cared about RPGs, I would have a different system.
Re: Operation Rainfall Responds to Nintendo's "Never Say Never"
What is the big deal with these games? I know that I can't be the only one who thinks that these games look unimportant.

Re: After 1980s Valet Parking Comes 1950s Lawn Mower Kids
I watched it in 1080p. It didn't make it any better.

Re: Wii U Won't Support Blu-ray or DVD Playback
[inb4argument about Blu-Ray Ownership]
Honestly' I don't care in the slightest. If it's anything like the Wii, it'll be softmod-able to allow DVD and/or Blu-Ray anyway.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Game Boy Color)
Now this rating I agree with more. This game deserves a 10 much more than Ocarina of Time does.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS)
This is ridiculous. I can't say I didn't expect a ten, but I can say that I don't think it deserves it.

Re: E3 2011: Nintendo News Conference Live Text
Nope, not figuratively. Literally.
Re: Rumour: Nintendo to Reveal New Zelda Game at E3
It'll be a version of Skyward Sword for the new console. Mark my words.
Re: Talking Point: Should Nintendo Try to Recapture 'Hardcore' Gamers?
Nintendo needs to keep doing what they do. It's obviously been successful so far.
