This is sadder than when Nintendo died 6-24-15. What a respectable man. He cut his own pay so that staff would not be cut. So much respect for a true leader.
It is your money if that is what you want to do with it go ahead. You will have to buy a lot more copies than that to offset all the money my family would have spent during our lifetime with the company.
Of course I have the right to boycott it is my money, my family, and my house. My family will not be playing it or any other Nintendo games that is what a boycott is all about. I am not denying anybody anything... except Nintendo a profit.
I have had an EA, bioware, Atari, squareenix, and netherrealms studios boycott for awhile. Nintendo was my go to until this week. Now I need to look into other gaming choices. As much as I have ranted about indie games in the past that may be my next step. I will figure it out.
Well my Nintendo boycott has officially begun with my trip to GameStop last night for an all in Nintendo trade in. I have emailed NOA corporate, The American Family Association and their nationwide radio station network, Mr. Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, and the American Pastors Network calling for an all out Nintendo boycott. I am also writing letters to the editor of local/statewide newspapers. I will e-mail Todd Starnes next.
I gambled on "The Starship Damrey" and "Dillon's Rolling Western" now I call it bought experience. I am through with the indie game scene. Dillion has the potential of being an awesome New IP but not with that gameplay mechanic. If you could just move using the circle pad it would be an improvement.
I am not sure which is worse this guy or the Sony exec saying they were no longer making first party Vita games because people demanded better graphics than the Vita is capable of all while Sony shoves indie games down your throat on the PS4 and Vita.
I am not sure who spent $300 on the Vita at launch to play mobile phone games.
If you are just talking retail then you are fixing to be in for a drought. After Freedom Wars which came out last year, what have they announced? At E3 there was World of Final Fantasy. I am sure there are some Japanese games that nothing but the very niche crowd would know about. Sony has already said they will no longer be making AAA games for it. Do not get me wrong the Vita is a great device but the support is fixing to be very lacking and was never great to begin with. The vita just appears to be an empty promise at this point.
Good my wife has more games on her tablet than I have on my 3DS does that mean the games or better or just cheaper? When PSN has flash sales every month, provides PS members with free games, and Vita games litter the clearance aisle you can accumulate a lot of games quick.
You could buy a Xbox one and PS4 look forward to in 2015 playing Xbox 360 games if the people who made the games decide to let you, a collection of N64 games, God of War 3, Uncharted 1 - 3.
But hey you have those empty promises from Sony to look forward too. Enslaved err I mean Horizon, a game that came out in '97 with a release date of "after they have announced the PS5", Shenmue III which will be like Agency you remember Agency?, and The Last Guardian which appeared to use the same trailer from 2009 with a vague 2016 tacked on to the end.
Of course you can always play those Vita games at night by the light of your move controllers while the dust collects on your PlayStation TV and your 3D glasses.It will be like Woody (PSTV) and Jessie (3D glasses) waiting on Buzz (Project Morpheus).
Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer won E3 for Nintendo. Must have!
If you go to the amiibo website there is an outline of Tom Nook and there are Animal Crossing Amiibo. There is an outline of just Pikmin which means Pikmin Amiibo and Pikmin 4 coming soon. Hopefully not in the form of a board game or soccer.
If somebody cannot complete a thought without using profanity that is a problem on their part not mine. What value does it add? Also there are a fair amount of children on this website so why go out of your way to purposely put in a profane word? It is totally not necessary. If the power to use profanity is that strong and you know the use of those words can offend others yet a person uses them anyhow then that person has their priorities "jacked"
To those complaining about no women being represented in this tournament, there were two and neither made it to the final round but there was some representation in the final round because there was a red stiletto. Hope everybody complaining was satisfied.
What a fun event to watch. Miniwheat was so annoying talking over everybody I bet Justin and Kevin were ticked because between mini and big wheat they could not get a word in.
Seems to me that you are the one with a bias because you are the one eager to drink her kool-aid. I mean what is her story here? She got a few insults thrown at her by some school aged people on the internet. OK who hasn't had to deal with that? It is life... move on and quit trying to get some attention. What does she want? Everybody to bow down at her feet? She is a delusional paranoid sexist quitter with an ego. Don't believe me just read the article. She thinks people were gathered around her while playing because she was "one of the few woman in the room" Perhaps it was because it was somebody there playing that was just new to the scene and performing well against already established competition. She needs to gain some thick skin.
No Danica got attention because of her performance in the Indy car circuit. It was a talented person switching from one side of a sport to the other. Think about a talented quarter back in college football making their debut at the NFL. She was doing nothing but wrecking every race in NASCAR because NASCAR is just different than Indy car racing. Rather than focusing on her talent and getting better at racing stock cars to retain sponsors, she took the short route and started objectifying herself in godaddy commercials. Now when you think about Danica all you can think is she just got attention because she is "hot" This did not occur because of society but because of Danica's own personal choice.
Profanity and "homies" used in a professional interview and she wants to be taken seriously. If she wants to be a role model she can stop talking like a junior high petulant child.
She was never told she had peaked but makes assumptions that is how other people felt which means she was paranoid and passes it off as fact.
She confirmed reaching her competitive peak to herself and everybody else by quitting. Semi retired = I could not cut it but if somebody calls I will be there.
Sounds like she never won a tournament which is probably why she was surprised she got invited to the invitational or either she could not believe she was invited because she is a woman which is her own sexism paranoia showing.
30 seconds into her ted talk is a screen shot of the competitive smash community I see several woman in the picture then a few minutes later she shows a scene with nothing but men and asks where are the women? She lost all credibility within 3 minutes of her sexist diatribe.
Danica Patrick is not the right person to reference because her greatest accomplishment is being half naked in a godaddy commercial. If Danica wants to be taken seriously as a role model put some clothes on and stop objectifying herself.
The only thing this whole article proves is how sexist Lilian Chen views the world through her own eyes. Social inclusion is the agenda pushed in this article but Lilian socially excluded herself because of her narrow minded view of the world by quitting.
Dead inventory = dusty figures nobody wants and are destined for the clearance aisle.
Looks at Little Mac, Ness, Captain Falcon, Shulk, Gold Mario,King Dedede, Wario, Ike, Marth, and Villager amiibo on display shelf *
No problems here..all bought at MSRP except Villager due to my boycott of Target.
Found my Pacman figure behind some Disney Infinity figures 3 weeks ago. If you do not take the time to look then that is on you and you must not want them too bad.
Yeah the Disney Infinity figures you call being well stocked is what stores call dead inventory. If you find some amiibo you want in stores but cannot get it right then just hide it behind a bunch of the Disney Infinity figures. My friend did this with Charizard 3 weeks ago as an experiment and the figure is still there while all the other Charizard amiibos sold out. Nobody wants to dig through the dusty Disney Infinity stock.
I just let my wife read these comments she said thanks for the laughs. She said they should be more worried about the women on twitch objectifying themselves for subscribers.
It has been scientifically proven by a random person on the internet. Their source is a 9 year old niece who probably has other interests besides being good at videogames and sports at this point in their life. One comment from a niece = society.
This is why 8 locations are managable and 5,000 locations at "my street" are not needed. If this was an eshop thing the concern would be hacking. I can assure that hardly any of the 750 people showing up will print off the form and have it filled out prior to the event. A huge glut of people will show up at one time... all impatient. In my opinion this is a pretty big undertaking on the part of these Best Buy stores. Yes it gets people in the door and will get them publicity but it is still a lot to manage on their part. If this would have been at more locations than this then you would have to narrow the field down more.
Or developers could just add a profanity,blood, and gore filter too all games. So if you do not wish to play with all those things in the game you could turn it off and if you do then you have that option.
@Jab187 No you think you have yours ordered until the cancellation e-mail hits you in the face in about 4 months. Well I should not be so negative....good luck!
OK that still does not answer the question. Disney did not start off with all those things. So why can' t Nintendo replicate it? You both replied and all that you managed to say was Disney/Pixar is mainstream with a wide audience and none of the filth that you listed earlier. Angry Birds went mainstream and none of them were toting gats. Now there are toys, gummies, cartoons, all kinds of merchandise based off that one thing.
