The best way to combat piracy is to make only high quality products, make them widely available (with world wide launch dates being as close as possible), and sell them at reasonable prices.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love the SimCity franchise. I just hate what EA Has done with it. The current PC version is terrible, and obviously this was going to be a port of that monstrosity.
I wish Will Wright would come back and save his creation. I have so many fond memories of SimCity 2000, 3000, and 4.
@audiobrainiac I found it at some random collectable store in Wisconsin Dells. I saw both that and the shield on the wall. Sadly, I couldn't afford the matching shield.

Nintendo has been approached multiple times for movies based on their IPs (Mario, Zelda, and especially Metroid). But, Nintendo has been so weary since the flop of the SMB Movie that nothing has ever been greenlit. I think the one that was the closest to actually being made was a Metroid movie in the early 2000s.
However, with Bowser appearing in Wreck It Ralph, maybe Nintendo will become a bit more willing to take a chance and do another movie based on their IPs.
I'd really love to see a "LOTR-style" Zelda film or an "Alien-style" Metroid film.
The two GameStop stores only had reserved copies, Target was out, the west side Best Buy was out . . . but thankfully the east side Best Buy had a copy.
If they treat this game like Ubisoft did with Watch Dogs, I'm out! It better be released with or released around the launch date for the PS4 and XBOne.
Oh my god, how I LOVED this game. I spent a whole summer playing it over and over again. I also have so many fond memories of playing mini golf with my friends (back when I had friends that played video games).
What was so great was the variety of courses, the user friendly interface (that also was hard to master), and just the joy and little Nintendo touches that made you wish you could crawl into the game, and just watch Yoshi put the ball in while you lie on a blanket next to the pond.
Seriously, I could never find any flaw in this game. The variety, the perfect balance of real golf and the Mushroom Kindom, the multiplayer, just everything!
This game took away so many hours of my teenage years. The only thing better than GodlenEye 007 is GoldenEye 007 + Game Shark Pro!
The hours I spent uncovering things like the "Classic Bond" portraits (proving that the All Bond Cheat actually was experimented with at one point), shooting tank shells from my head, walking through all doors, playing Statue and Cradle in Multiplayer, exploring the outpost in the Dam level, and of course playing as a floating arm.
Oh, also, what other game can you slide around on your knees, and dance like a moron by press the C buttons the right way?
Reminds me of when Miyamoto approached the Star Fox team. He just came in and said, "No! This is how we will do it!" And of course, we all know how great Star Fox became.

@tabris95
If that happens, I will sell my copy, and never buy another Platinum game again.
Edit; this is to your xbox1 and ps4 comment.
Re: Platinum Hopes to Bring "More From Bayonetta" in 2015
Also, bring Bayonetta to Smash Bros! She'd be perfect in that game!

@PigmaskFan
Well, they both are basically saying the same thing. You turn into Lode Runner at the end of Bomberman.
Re: Review: Lode Runner (Wii U eShop / NES)
@MrWalkieTalkie
Yes it is. In fact, if you beat Bomberman on the NES, Bomberman will turn into Lode Runner and it says:
CONGRATULATIONS
BOMBER MAN BECOMES RUNNER
SEE YOU AGAIN IN LODE RUNNER

Re: Sakurai Explains Why Ridley Is Not A Playable Fighter In Super Smash Bros.
I'm with Sakurai, a playable Ridley would be a bad idea . . . also imagine the pain Yoshi and Kirby would go through swallowing her.
Re: Masahiro Sakurai Explains Why Mewtwo Isn't Paid DLC in Smash Bros.
I am glad they focused on creating a game rather than a game and planing DLC.
However if they do DLC, I'd love Bayonetta to join the roster. Her crazy moves would fit right in with Smash Bros.
Also X and Zero would be kewl.
