Re: Feature: Who Is Devon Pritchard? - Meet The Next NOA President Stepping Into Bowser's Boots

@MyMemory Yeah, the older heads are more traumatized by what happened to hollywood and don't want the same shielded incompetency to go to other hobbies they enjoy

Anybody who's been keeping up with the failures behind disney alone knows there's a lot of sexist spite coming from the women who lead there alone

As for Ms. Pritchard, I'm gonna be on wait and see. Satoru Shibata is also gonna be a CEO, so this might be a legit change of hands based on competency

Re: Nintendo Is "Acting To Protect The Industry" With Switch 2 Game Key Cards, Says Ex-Capcom Composer

Samalik

As the brits of Nintendolife would probably put it

OH BUGGER OFF!!!

"Game Key Cards are also a measure "against illegal copying", as the data cannot be extracted from the cartridge and distributed online"
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna dump all of my switch games I downloaded online and have hackers do their thing.
lol

"Do you think a company that’s already made that much profit would do this just to make even more money"
yes. Absolutely yes. That's corporatism for ya.

Re: Nintendo Wins $2 Million Lawsuit Against 'MiG Switch' Distributor

@Markatron84 I'm a bit more of a stickler on that front tho.
If a company does sell me something, but they sell it to me in a broken, incomplete mess that may have also been censored, I'm pirating with all of the fixes and content restored.
I don't even care if it's a modern release. you don't treat your loyalists like that.
Copyright and lost source code are the only areas I may be forgiving in

Re: Nintendo To Officially Launch eShop In Taiwan

Samalik

Well, this might be a way of bypassing china. I hear that even though the two lands are hostile towards each other, the citizens and products are still allowed to pass through without checks.

And considering that Hong Kong is 15 years away from being absorbed into china, this is probably a smart move

Re: This Fortnite 'Power Rangers' Trailer Is Absolutely Awesome

@Narrator1 It's funny, because the REAL series never died. It just moved onto the next iteration, and is still alive to this day.

But yeah, after its initial run, power rangers as an IP was struggling to not get channeled. Kids were not watching the newer ones. But the IP didn't get axed because of how cheap it was to produce in the west.

Power Rangers was always lame to me, even as a preschooler. I was into Jackie Chan movies at the time too (for reference), and they did give me a laugh while also being a bit cool, but the American high school melodrama of PW didn't do it for me

Maybe if I saw the Japanese versions of these with an English dub, I'd probably have a better opinion of them, considering how much I liked so far of Kamen Rider W.
