Re: International Game Developers Association Issues Critical Statement Over Nintendo and Alison Rapp

Miiamoto

She broke her contract by moonlighting in a second job, so Nintendo didn't fire her, she fired herself. A contract is terminated if you break it - it's a very simple concept, so I'm not sure why anyone is trying to place the blame for all this on Nintendo.

As for all the hate she was getting - that was totally uncalled for, but as a PR person she should also have read the situation and played it a bit smarter.

Having said that I have a lot of sympathy for her. Loosing your job is rough and is not something anyone should be celebrating.

Re: Nintendo's Official UK Store Opens Pre-Orders For Fire Emblem Fates: Limited Edition - Rapidly Sells Out

This is an absolute disgrace - a lot of very unhappy customers, myself included. I've been checking their website every day for over a month and still can't get it!

Nintendo better recognize the huge demand for special editions and do another run of stock. I'm seriously considering not buying it at all now.

What's the point of hyping up the multiple storylines and then making it impossible to get a hold of?

Someone needs to be fired!

@Mario-Man-Child You won't actually have to pay that much as you're just upgrading. In the UK it's 99p - not sure about the price in Euros.

...As long as you've transfered it to your Wii U's hard drive that is.

I can't believe this got such a low score from you guys, this is such a good game. Sure it felt unfinished, but what was there was top tier, pure gameplay - looks like it went WAY over your heads!

Re: Here's Exactly What Has Changed With Fire Emblem Fates' "Skinship" Petting Mode

This news doesn't make the censorship any more acceptable or any less irritating. Sure it was a slightly weird, and funny feature, but that's the type of thing that makes Japanese games interesting - you get stuff that would never be included in a western game. Sometimes it's something great sometimes not, but I can't understand why anyone would actually be celebrating the removal of content from a game and the white washing of its cultural identity.

Re: Nintendo Removes Infamous Drugging Scene From Western Localisation Of Fire Emblem Fates

@MadAdam81 Also word for word acuracy should always be the goal with a translation. It's probably impossible and certain changes may be unavoidable, but it should always be the initial aim. The whole point is to allow the audience to understand a foriegn game - not to dilute it and change the way it plays. Imagine a samurai film where they digitally make everyone wear cowboy hats:- has the film been localised or destroyed?

@MadAdam81 You obvoiusly have a limited understanding of censorship - this should help you: 'Self-censorship is the act of censoring or classifying one's own blog, book, film, or other forms of media. This is done out of fear of, or deference to, the sensibilities or preferences (actual or perceived) of others and without overt pressure from any specific party or institution of authority.' So the fact that Nintendo are choosing this themselves makes no difference.
