Re: Iwata Asks Connects With The Team Behind StreetPass Relay

I think I've tagged people less than 20 times in the two plus years I've had my system, and I live in a pretty big city, with a busy road behind my house. I work retail and normally have my system with me, and it's a pretty busy shopping area. That all means nothing when to tag someone, they need to be standing right next to me to be in range. If it was more like a thousand feet, the odds would go up.

Re: Renegade Kid Worried About 3DS Piracy

I wish all pirates would just go jump in a volcano. There have been too many games fail due to poor sales because the majority playing just stole it, and then subsequently hacked the game and ruined the online for everyone else.

Re: Round Table: Let's Talk About The Wii U eShop

King_Boo

I'm thinking Nintendo wants to put out double dash and melee(along with games like F-zero GX) in HD but with online, and for that added investment they'll probably go retail. That doesn't explain why no zelda, or super mario sunshine, or a dozen others.
It's a way better option then feeding people people bland mini games that are only somewhat like the full games.

Re: Talking Point: The Wii U eShop Needs Patience

King_Boo

My mind is split when it comes to gamecube virtual console. Either Nintendo is really busy and has too many new projects going on, in house and out, to get them to work on the Wii U, or they are doing just that but plan on doing HD collections or re-releases. Since most of the games would benefit from on online component, I'm sure they also need to get resources in order from that prospective too.

Re: Review: Nano Assault Neo (Wii U eShop)

King_Boo

I agree with the review, but I think there is one more negative. As far as I can tell, you can only check the leader boards once you get a good enough score, there's really no way to keep up with people's improving scores other than miiverse.

Re: Wii U on Plenty of U.S. Christmas Lists

King_Boo

The idea behind kids wanting apple products is simple, they cost a lot therefore they're a status symbol. I remember when the iphone just came out, and the only thing that told people was they have money.

Re: MCV: Wii U Is A Stopgap System, Real Successor Is Still To Come

King_Boo

I think they just need to look up the definition of a generation, it's never been about specs really, the 3rd gen was the 8-bit era but I don't think gen 2 was the 4 bit era, 5th gen was both 32 and 64 bit era. We'll probably see the next box at E3 it'll look about the same as what the wii u is showing.
