This could be a very important video if Nintendo is in the business of buying out youtubers. What's more likely is a desperate attempt to get adsense money.
Nintendo's heavy handed online policies are brutal. They really need to hire a consulting group to explain how the internet in 2016 works. The middle age conservative Japanese businessmen calling the shots obviously have zero clue.
Accessibility is a dirty word in gaming. It pretty much destroyed the MMO market and is rearing it's ugly head at other genres as well. Once you make the decision to be everything to everyone you lose the hardcore market. I like to think of it as the entitlement generation's contribution to the hobby.
I think most are done with the shenanigans. Prices for rares have been steadily dropping on e-bay. I don't think it has to do with an increased supply,
I will not be buying the NX at launch. The quickness Nintendo and 3rd parties abandoned the Wii U is astounding as well as insulting. What makes me think they won't do the same with the next system.
It sounds like Nintendo won't listen to fans in NA, I honestly believe they wont until some kind of grassroots boycott happens. If they refuse to listen to us then let's see what their investors think about a boycott and the value of their stock drops. We can make it happen people.
I honesty don't see the appeal of the "teens react" line of videos. It's bad enough they are considered the entitlement generation. Giving them the idea their opinion is worth watching may be filling them with a false sense of importance.
It sounds like Nintendo of America is to blame. Maybe if there was better communication between the United States branch and their Japanese overlords this stuff would not happen. NoA should be well aware of the reseller problem and spelling it out to Nintendo of Japan.
@Quorthon I would think anyone under 24 is at school of some kind and anyone above that age would be at work not surfing the web for nintendo information.I work 3rd shift so I'm up early.

Re: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes Launches at Number One in Japan, But With Sales a Long Way Behind Predecessors
I hate playing with internet assholes. Screw co-op.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes (3DS)
@krakensoup I agree. If it was a single player only game I would have bought it.
Re: Editorial: It's Far Too Soon to Go Download-Only, and Physical Retail Still Matters
I've been all-digital ready since the psp go. Simpy waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

Too expensive.
Re: Chris Pranger, Nintendo Treehouse Staffer Who Recently Spoke About His Work, Confirms He's Been Fired
Chris should start his own podcast and discuss the dark side of the industry. He would rock.

Curious why Iwata always did that pyramid symbol with his hands. Anyone know?
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Approach to Transforming Franchises Clashes With Fan Expectations
I think it's obvious the current team making decisions is out of touch with gaming. Fire every one of them and get some fresh faces in.
Re: Splatoon Version 1.3.0 Update Due on 30th June, Gameplay Adjustments Detailed
They should take all rollers out.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's Approach to amiibo is Increasingly Frustrating
I think most are done with the shenanigans. Prices for rares have been steadily dropping on e-bay. I don't think it has to do with an increased supply,
Re: Talking Point: E3 Highlighted Nintendo's Development Shift Towards NX, and Away from Wii U
I will not be buying the NX at launch. The quickness Nintendo and 3rd parties abandoned the Wii U is astounding as well as insulting. What makes me think they won't do the same with the next system.
Re: Satoru Iwata Didn't Apologise For Nintendo's E3 Digital Event, Says Reggie Fils-Aime
They should have spent the money used in the production of that video to make a game. Puppets are so 1980. What decade are these guys living in.
Re: Video: No Matter How Annoyed You Are At Nintendo's E3 2015 Digital Event, You're Not As Annoyed As This Guy
I think even the most diehard Nintendo fan would agree the e3 direct was pretty bad.
Re: Bloodstained Is Officially Kickstarter's Most Successful Video Game Campaign
Will be backing it today.
Re: Splatoon Producer Inks Out Reasons For Lack Of Voice Chat And Staggered Content Roll-Out
I love that they did not include voice chat. I hope more games do the same in the future.

Ugh that hair. I'm happy to admit I was mulletless through the mullet rage.
Re: Nintendo Download: 16th April (North America)
9.99 for a 16 year old N64 game? Come on Nintendo.
Re: Gone Home Console Versions Are "Not Actively in Development Any Longer"
This is good news. There is no need for a leftist agenda pushing game on the Wii U.
Re: Talking Point: New Nintendo 3DS, Operation Faceplate NA and the Bigger Picture
It sounds like Nintendo won't listen to fans in NA, I honestly believe they wont until some kind of grassroots boycott happens. If they refuse to listen to us then let's see what their investors think about a boycott and the value of their stock drops. We can make it happen people.

Re: Weirdness: Club Nintendo Members Attempt to Sell Flipnote Studio 3D Codes on eBay
Ebay should outlaw the use of the word "rare". It's misused so damn often.
Re: Video: Watch A Bunch Of Teenagers Use The Legendary Power Glove Accessory For The First Time Ever

Re: Guide: Getting to Grips with the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Demo
After playing the demo I don't see any reason this game could not have been some kind of dlc for Ultimate 3.

Where's the Wii U version
Re: Target Won't Be Restocking Rosalina amiibo, Selected Wave 3 Figures Won't Be Available In-Store
I see a lot of others saying they are done with amiibos and I agree. What started out as fun is turning into an unneeded frustration. I quit.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
Great. When I do get in all of my coins are gone. This is frustrating.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
Probably the last time to ever get Doc Louis's Punch-Out!!. There goes -250 automatically.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
So if I'm 25 coins away from 2015 platinum would it be better to get their before I redeem? I'm confused.
