@Mogster sometimes people have to watch what they advocate for... Also, this kind of localization is dishonest regardless. I don't care if (a relatively small) group of people are offended, neither should anyone else. They (may have) removed a character for heaven sakes, just because some nimrod that cannot read Japanese decided to defame Nintendo.
@benjamines It's still probably a decent idea. I mean all they have to do is deal with certain retailers on certain amiibo. It wouldn't be spread out so thin.
@grimbldoo I agree to an extent. Some sites have ways to rate everything. One even has a separate subjective scoring table. Scoring methods are interesting. Depending on the site, scoring can be beneficial or harmful.
Such as this game, Polygon writer didn't even finish the game and gave it a lower score than AC: Unity, AC:Unity was broken. Polygon may benefit from not having the score system since they often score based on how much money and how "progressive" the game is.
Seriously I feel uncomfortable about them releasing a new handheld too soon. However if they do announce a new handheld. It better be not in 2 years or 3 years. It would be wise if it at least be out in 2020. 3DS has several years to go.
Well if I got a N3DSXL, I might get it when the standard battery starts aging. After over 3 years on my first 3DS, it's original battery was a little bloated. Even though it worked fairly enough for the store test.
If this is true, the retail copy will be eventually collectible. However don't count on that, people will buy tons of copies and will flood the market causing deflation.
@Dipper723 I thought Toy Story 3 was the last PS2 game. That's Surreal. The last game was a sports game. PS2 was a great console. It's not the worst thing that people still develope games for older consoles. There have been a couple of NES and SNES game kickstarters. Mostly from fans that had dreams.
I hope this works out for them. I did actually notice how odd it was that other companies did have simular tech and he didn't go after them. It's strange.

Re: Nintendo Further Explains Fire Emblem Fates Localisation, With Same-Sex Marriages In Each Version
@Maxz the thing is Niche Gamer is relying on a native Japanese speaker and reader.
Re: Here's Exactly What Has Changed With Fire Emblem Fates' "Skinship" Petting Mode
@Fath you just gotta be trolling, do you really believe "gaming is a childish endeavor".

@bitleman ahem, you are destroying videogame diversity.
Re: Here's Exactly What Has Changed With Fire Emblem Fates' "Skinship" Petting Mode

"Translation via Kotaku".... I'll take their word for it with skepticism. LOL.
Re: Nintendo Further Explains Fire Emblem Fates Localisation, With Same-Sex Marriages In Each Version
@6ch6ris6 the scene didn't even have conversion or drugging. The people making the accusations cannot even read Japanese.
Re: Japanese Hyrule Gold New 3DS LL Tying in with Hyrule Warriors Legends
I hope GameStop bundles Hyrule Warriors with the 3DS XL or Nintendo does an official. 😻
Re: Weirdness: You Can Get Apple, Sorry, 'Aple' Cover Plates for Your New Nintendo 3DS
If I ever got a New 3DS, I'd get the Playstation designs. Other than that, if its even possible — I'd stick with New 3DS XL when I buy one.

Re: The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth Developers Talk About its Long eShop Approval Process and Why it's Not Coming to the Original 3DS
Eh... "religious"... All Kid Icarus games had a religious element. As well as a few other titles, almost anything with monster, more likely Vampires.
Re: Digital Foundry Puts Splatoon's 60fps Promise to the Test
@Wouwter FPS often is a factor in how comfortable it is to play sometimes.

Re: Review: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. (3DS)
@grimbldoo Usually the number often reflects how much that enjoyed it. Also how well it's made and the originality.
Re: GameStop Italy Lists Majora's Mask New Nintendo 3DS XL Model For Re-Stock on 27th March
@Ryno it's capitalism just not the best flavor, it'd be even worse if they did a fraudulent listing.

@Geonjaha If sexuality wasn't part of it to begin with. No one should care.

Re: 3DS Web Browser Exploit Allows Game Boy Color ROMS to be Emulated on the System
I've got a hypothesis... This exploit might be a result of a firmware bug that is causing my 3DS to freeze. I haven't tried this but it a hunch.
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Flirtation With Microtransactions May Step Up in 2015
@Ralizah Rusty isn't really "free-2-play", it's a demo. -_-
