@Hints_Whispers "good parents get overly upset about things that disturb and desensitize their children."
Than you and i have 2 very different opinions on what makes a good parent. Shielding your kids from this kind of stuff doesn't make you a good parent, helping your kid to understand the proper context does. Kids know violent stuff exists, and you can't always shield them from it. So it's best to help them understand.
And the 'fact' that violence in movies and videogames disturb and desentisize kids is in my opinion the biggest lie of the 21st century!
@Hints_Whispers Trust me, as a father myself, kids nowadays seen much worse than this... This doesn't disturb them in the least. Most of the time, it's actually the parents that get overly upset by stuff like this.
@Chaoz I only complain about Nintendo, because i know they could do a lot better, especially recent months/years. Sega recently made Alien Isolation which was awesome! Sure the Sonic Boom games were...mediocre, but c'mon they're still pretty relevant, and i'd love to see them make a comeback in the console market.
@bitleman Why mention the Vita? A system that's not even dead, whatever you may claim. I do buy A LOT of games for it, as i do for Xbox One/PS4/3DS/WiiU as well. So accusing me of fanboyism, is total nonsense.
On topic: it IS a bad week, so am i not allowed to point it out, because someone like you might get offended? Grow up, kid.
It's way too early to talk about power, when we don't even know what the NX is, what it does or even when it's going to be released. The rumour is based on absolutely nothing.
I better hope this rumour turns out to be false, for Nintendo's sake. I know Nintendo always said they aren't competing with Sony/Microsoft.... but c'mon, we all know better than that. This would mean they've learned nothing from the mistakes they made with the WiiU .
What the hell is this... it surely doesn't deserve to have the 'Metroid' name attached to it!
Seriously, what is Nintendo thinking lately... do they even care anymore? They just don't seem to have any passion or drive anymore
@FLUX_CAPACITOR @Retro_on_theGo Yeah, how dare you share your honest opinion with the rest of us, that's not what a comment section is for! Delete that crap at once!
@Chaoz 'Japan and American culture is very different. We have different ideas and morals.'
But when you call someone out for not understanding your way of thinking, because he has a different ethnicity than yours, than that's racism, Pure and simple!!!
@Chaoz Western NST staff found their ideas repeatedly ignored, even being told that they wouldn't understand the reasoning because "they weren't Japanese"
@Chaoz And the fact that it wasn't looking promising (which was also due to the 'help' from Nintendo) is an excuse for the disrespectful and downright racist comments/attitude from Nintendo?
@abbyhitter So? The vita is region free, and the graphics are better than the 3ds version. I think that's the way to go for european fans of the series.
@gamermole You still misunderstand me, If given the choice, people wanting to buy a single console, most likely lean more towards a PS4 (1st/2nd choice) or X1 (1st or 2nd choice) over a WiiU (making it 3rd choice). (console sales figures back that theory up)
@gamermole Well, i said Nintendo is most people's 3rd choice. That doesn't mean people buy all three options!!! Most people buy a PS4 or X1 or PC, not all of them
@nacho_chicken Well, i left out PC gaming since we're talking about gaming consoles here. That would make nintendo people's 4th choice. But fair enough, you seem to prefer Nintendo over the rest. To each it's own, i guess.
But we all know more people have a PS4/X1, mostly in combination with a PC, in their living room than a WiiU, making it indeed people's 3rd/4th choice.
i'll just wait for the GOTY edition
But seriously, why even bother making a another solitaire game... it's lazy as hell and the consumer will see right through that.
This was Nintendo's biggest mistake... if only they went through with this. They would have been the biggest name in gaming today!! But we all know the position Nintendo is in today, being every gamer's 3rd choice.
@oats-81 'Bullpoopy. Nintendo would NEVER release a new platform in the summer. How old do they think I am!? ......insulting..........' Bullpoopy?! lol i'm guessing you're like 6 or 7?
@Chaoz Since it's all first party games, and most of these games don't even have a release date yet, it's probably all the games we're going to get till (and during) 2016.
Nintendo released a lot of consoles during the summer (GB, GBA, NES, ...) so a summer release makes perfect sense to me.

@DualWielding Hah, reading the comments it seems you were right on this one
Re: The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy's Grand Adventure Will Bring Its Wit to Wii U and 3DS
Wow, available for every console... except the PS3 and Vita
But, yeah it looks adorable, and the graphics aren't bad at all.
Re: Video: Reggie Fils-Aimé Discusses His E3 Puppet, Rival Games and More
The only question i have is why Reggie's muppet doesn't have a bald spot like him... Luigi, give-a this man your hat !!!
Re: Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader Pre-Orders Begin to Pop Up in the West
@rjejr I bet all the kids are googling it right now
Re: Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader Pre-Orders Begin to Pop Up in the West
I have no problem with the price, but seriously... why bother releasing this when you can barely find any amiibo's in stores.
Re: Nintendo Enjoys Success in the Game Critics E3 Awards
The only 2 categories without any competion whatsoever...
Re: Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader Pre-Orders Begin to Pop Up in the West
Nintendo, please fix your stock issues before releasing this thing...

Re: Sega Sorry That It "Betrayed" Fans, Hopes To Win You Back With A New Game Announcement This September
@Splatmaster I know right?!? NX being a Sega/Nintendo console... THAT would put both companies back on the map!

Re: Sega Sorry That It "Betrayed" Fans, Hopes To Win You Back With A New Game Announcement This September
Maybe the NX is a Sega/Nintendo console, kinda like the Nintendo/Sony console prototype. How cool would that be???
Sigh, not gonna happen, i know...
Re: Sega Sorry That It "Betrayed" Fans, Hopes To Win You Back With A New Game Announcement This September
They never lost my trust. I still love Sega games!
Oh and YES to Dreamcast 2 !!!!!!!! We really need Sega to make the comeback they deserve!

You guys didn't even bother with the 'nothing for me' option this week. Trust me, i understand. Another bad week.

Re: Poll: Does Nintendo's Drive Towards Multiplayer Gaming Appeal to You?
Multiplayer needed/wanted in Nintendo games? a big yes!!!! Online as well as offline co-op!!!
It's just that the upcoming Nintendo games don't appeal to me at all... and having multiplayer does nothing to change that.

Re: Zero Escape Volume 3 Will Tell a New Tale on 3DS in 2016
@bitleman Sony never said they stopped supporting the Vita. New games are still coming out for the system. E3 showed a vita trailer as well
Re: Feature: A Tale of Adventure and Totemic Chaos in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes
Not the least bit interested in this game.
Re: Project H.A.M.M.E.R. Exposé Reveals Torrid State Of Affairs At Nintendo Software Technology
Major 'middlefinger' to Nintendo for this!!! Nintendo treats their own western studio like a shovelware dev. Disrespectful and racist

Re: New Skylanders SuperChargers Trailer Plays Up Bowser and Donkey Kong as IP's First Ever Guest Stars
With Activision in charge of production & supply of the toys, maybe Nintendo might learn a thing or two.
@ALinkttPresent Spyro was the main character for the first series of games, not a guest star.

@CTs_Lieutenant Since PS4 as well as X1 both outsold the WiiU with ease, i think it's save to make that 'assumption'.
