Re: Satoru Iwata Says That Wii U is "Selling Steadily"

Jellitoe

Nintendo needs to up their game production (as in development. They do not make enough games anymore that are for serious players. The Mario sport games and party games are fun, but is the Metroids, 3D Mario's and Zelda's that sell systems. And were is Gyromite HD

Re: GameStop Sales of Wii U Are Reportedly "Slightly Disappointing"

Jellitoe

Truthfully I am surprised launch was not even worse with the game selection that was available. The only reason I got mine early was because I really wanted to have it early to help Ninty succeed with their console, but as far as games, there is sadly not much on the console I have not already played.

Re: 3DS Continues To Dominate Sales In Japan

Jellitoe

I remember last year when the 3DS was new and sales were not that good causing the price drop. I believe the 3ds will sell here in the US alot more when we finally get a real Nintendo game (not named Mario) like Zelda, Metroid, Animal Crossing, or of course a real Pokemon. Mario sells but has a kiddie stigma to it.

Re: 7000 Wii U Systems Stolen in Seattle

Jellitoe

It they get reimbursed by insurance its a win for Nintendo.
People who buy those consoles will obviously buy games to play on it
LOL. Kidding
Chances are that the serial number of those consoles are recorded some were and Nintendo can have law enforcement recover them if the users register them.
Also Most likely the company (their ins comp) who had them in custody are responsible.

heres a few more

3. Daniel Petric Kills Mother Over Halo 3

After his mother and father took Halo 3 away from him, Daniel Petric, 17, unlocked the safe in which they’d hidden it. Also in the safe was a 9mm pistol. He then took the game and the pistol to his parent’s room, asked them to close their eyes because he had a surprise for them, and shot them both in the head. The father survived with critical injuries, but his mother died instantly.

2. Toddler Beaten to Death with Game Controller

Darisabel Baez, the 2-year-old daughter to 19-year-old Neida E. Baez, was beaten to death with a video game controller by Neida’s then boyfriend, Harve L. Johnson, in April of last year. Bizarrely, the girl was brought to her mother unconscious and soaking wet because Howard had tried to revive her in the bathtub. He refused to tell police his reason for beating the girl.

1. GTA-Inspired Cop Killing

There is little doubt that Devin Moore’s cop-killing spree and subsequent theft of a police cruiser were inspired by the ultraviolent video game series Grand Theft Auto. Moore took one gun from an officer, shot three others with it, and fled the station in a police cruiser. Moore was a obsessed with the GTA series of video games, and, once captured, he told police "Life's like a video game. You've got to die sometime."

@Bass_X0
Nice, that did not take long for a reply. But people in not need to remember that kid playing Manhunt and then taking a 7 year old to the park and killing him a in violent manner. Or the college campus shooter few years ago who favorite game happened to be Call of Duty
But ignorance is bliss

Re: UK Press Pins Blame For Sandy Hook Massacre On Video Games

Jellitoe

I hate to say it, but I do believe that violent games spawn violent behavior on immature people. As much as I love shooters, I don't make them available to my son because the damage games like that do to innocence. Shooter and violent game fanboys can stick up for them as much as they want, but fact is fact, these games do spawn violence.

Re: Hacker Claims To Have Deciphered Wii U CPU and GPU Speeds

Jellitoe

Processor speed means nothing, I have a Intel i3 runnig at 1.2mhz that outperforms pentium 2.4 dualcores. Not to mention that low voltage processors can be overclocked to perform even better. We do not know what the design of the WiiU is programmed to do and by them simply increasing the buss speed that 1.2 of theirs can reach 2.0 ghz and be perfectly fine. And with there GCGPU alot of the work load will not even be on the processor anyway.

Re: Wii U Shifts 400K Units in Début Week

Jellitoe

Considering there is no killer app (and nothing announced really qualifies for a killer app, sales are doing good. These will desperately need a push from Zelda or Galaxy after Christmas however. I bought mine looking ahead to Monster Hunter.

Re: Wii U Shifts 400K Units in Début Week

Jellitoe

Only Best Buy had the Basic in NC, Target, ToyRus and Gamestop were all sold out Saturday morning. The Deluxe was sold out at even Bestbuy and they only had 3 Basic sets after I walked in. So yeah, its selling out fast.
