Re: Random: Nintendo UK Continues To Advertise Ring Fit Adventure Despite Stock Shortages

SBandy

If stock has run out it means it is more popular than Nintendo anticipated, and whilst frustrating for people searching for the game it is better for Nintendo having to re-stock supply rather than have shelves full of a game no one wants.

Considering the game was released with fairly little fanfare I think it can be considered a runaway success.

The reviews on Amazon UK also suggest a big hit.

OK fired it up on the Wii U and played a few online games, here is my findings:

1. Doesn't have the purple boost.
2. Doesn't have the extra item box.
3. Doesn't have the new battle stages.
4. Only 720p on the telly
5. Looks rough on the gamepad streamed at 480p, guess I am used to crisp 720p native handheld now.

In summary, I really don't think you have a clue what you are talking about.

A half arsed news story just so you can use a headline giving credit to a videogame console made by your favourite videogame company. A man died ffs.

This is pretty tasteless stuff.

Edit: Case in point this guttertrash story resulted in this Superdankgamepla person creating an account just to start ranting about minorities. This is the kind of scum these types of stories attract.

Can't imagine what halfwit actually agreed with your post because it saddens me there are two people that wrong.

I own both games and here are the differences in Deluxe:

Much improved battle mode that does not exist in MK8.

The extra boost that does not exist in MK8 and adds another layer to the races

A second item box that does not exist in MK8 and adds another layer of tactics to the races.

When one game has features another game doesn't have, they aren't the same game bud. To argue otherwise makes someone look stupid.

People likely choose that bundle because of the game included so of course it should count.

Fifa 20 is included in a lot of Playstation bundles as was Sea of Thieves with Xbox One which is why it jumped up the charts last week. As long as it is properly recorded who cares how the game was purchased?

It is also a good indicator of how a console is selling.

Interesting you use the word "attacking" which implies my words are causing you harm.

My view has always been that words can cause harm mentally and therefore physically, and is not a nice thing to do but you don't seem to be able to comprehend this.

But I also never said I didn't do it. And at least I can know the damage it can cause, the fact that you don't is.......worrying.

@Kalmaro

Why are you asking me? You are the self proclaimed expert on the subject.

According to you we can all say what we want racial slur or otherwise, as long as it is not encouraging violence, because mere words do not hurt and if people are hurt or offended by them that is their own fault as they choose to be hurt or offended by them when they could simply choose not to be. That is your logic.

I think you shouldn't insult peope for no reason but I am not perfect and sometimes it is called for. Like if I said you clearly weren't the sharpest tool in the shed and your views are blinkered, short sighted and just stupid.....but you are OK with me saying that so it is all good.

@Kalmaro

No insults are not OK, doesn't mean I won't use it when required.

It is still not the same as racist abuse which is what van Basten "joke" could be considered because of its conotations which he would have been well aware of.

You appear to lack empathy. That isn't the same as being offended on someone elses behalf but it is understanding why they would be affected as they are.

@Spanjard

How did they "win" exactly? By sticking their fingers in their ears, shouting "lalalala" and not actually listening accepting facts?

If you actually read the comments it is not about people being offended on other peoples behalfs it is about how words can be offensive and words can cause hurt. Something Kalmaro just can't understand for some reason.
