@Maxz You know full well that Wii U supporters means people who bought the Wii U.
If you can't see that releasing almost all Wii U games with extra content on Switch is literally penalising people who bought the games on Wii U then you are being willfully ignorant.
I'm sure there's no way that you're actually stupid enough to 'presume SNES games caused just as much grief', so I won't bother answereing that one.
As for me deserving a slap... you're probbably right.
This list is only includes games I could think of without physically going and hunting around my house for the location of my 3DS treasure hoard: 1. Fire Emblem: Awakening 2. Shovel Knight 3.

@Crushermach3 'the only difference being you have to put your sources for credibility.'
I'm not sure you understand how jounalism works. Sources that are leaking info have to remain annonymous or they would never come forward. Telling us who their NX sources are would be one of the most stupid things Nintendolife could do and would get their sources into very hot water.
@Adhrast The hate is certainly misplaced and it was undoubtedly a good game, but it was definitely a big step down from the Prime series and there were some baffling design decisions.
@998613game The emails seem fine to me. The only dodgy thing they reveal is the fact that you wanted to silence a totally legitimate article... why would you do that if there's nothing shady about what you do?
The article was 100% truthful and no one is stoping you from making these 'games'. Throwing a tantrum when people discover the truth and dare to voice their valid opinions seems more than a little petty.
@exDeveloper The important part of the analogy was the chef who can't cook, buying food in from elsewhere. If that happened in a resteraunt you can bet Gordon Ramsay wouldn't be happy!
...It feels like you're wilfully missunderstanding my point just to keep up the pretence that it's an acceptable practice.
Also, apples and oranges are exactly the right things to compare to each other as they are both fruit. ;p
However, as you have said - we are getting nowhere with this.
@exDeveloper It was not a comparison - I was establishing the fact that the exchange of money for services is not always moral.
If you can agree with that statement then I think I have successfully explained my initial 'morally bankrupt' comment.
Now to give another example that you may have less of an issue with;-
If you were eating in a resteraunt and ordered a burger, would you be annoyed if the chef was going across the street to McDonalds and bringing you a burger from there?
Even if you are one of the people who likes McDonalds, surely you'd think the chef was a scumbag. He didn't break any law, but it's a crappy thing to do.
@exDeveloper Using assets is different to copy/pasting a game.
...and again, just because something 'happens all the time' does not make it moral.
Also, I didn't put words in your mouth or go off topic - I asked you two questions I thought would clarify my 'morally bankrupt' statement you seemed baffled by.
If you didn't want me to explain it to you, you probably shouldn't have asked.
@Nitro187 He's been all over Nintendolife playing the struggling game creator and trying to drum up support for 'his' games, but the whole time he's just been selling someone elses crap and treating gamers with disdain.
...Imagine buying a painting and finding out that the guy who claimed to be the artist actually couldn't paint and instead just signed someone elses work.
@Minotaurgamer How is it pointless? Is there a problem with them informing his customers that he is a fraud? Seems like exactly the sort of info that a site that reviews games should be doing.

Well I guess that's progress. Pehaps you'll have more breakthroughs and become aware of more things at a later date.
Let's hope so.

They are literally still making the game.

Another slap in the face to all Wii U supporters.
Re: SNK's Terry Bogard Joins Smash Bros., And There Are Even More Fighters To Come
Nintendo's getting greedy.
When will we ever have a complete smash again, with all the content included in the physical version?
...Never, that's when.

Re: Turns Out Nintendo Came Up With Metroid Prime's Most Compelling Feature

He can, but we don't have to approve and we certainly have a right to know.
Why do you feel he has the right to keep his bad practices a secret from his user base?

Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@exDeveloper 'You have no argument besides some standards you seem to believe in'
Ethics.
If you have none that's your problem.
Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@Drumpler I thought you were done?
Clearly you don't even have conviction in your own statements. Unsurprising then that you have such a flimsy set of moral convictions.
I get it though - you asset flip too and you're getting defensive.
Go ahead and make your cheap cash-ins and keep lying to yourself.
...everyone else is ignorant.
Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@Drumpler Lol....I'm 'ignorant' because I have standards? Sure.
Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@exDeveloper Your moral compass is broken if you think missleading people and taking credit for the work of others is ok.
Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@Drumpler Yep, they're called 'bad restraunts'.

Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@Nitro187 That's true, but the problem is really in the deception. - Not that I bought any of those crappy games.
Re: Feature: Exploring the Licensed Content in RCMADIAX Games on the Wii U and New 3DS eShop
@exDeveloper So you think that because it was sold that equals it being morally justified?
...Perhaps it's also morally justifed to employ sweatshop workers... I mean, they get exploited, but they still get paid right?
No. Money changing hands has no bearing on morality.
