Re: Nintendo Disables Swapnote's SpotPass Service Due to Online Safety Concerns

How ridiculous. Now we can't even send PRIVATE messages to our own friends. Does this mean the ditching of friend codes and Miiverse is coming real soon? If not, I'm going to be pissed.

See, if they had a REAL account system and online infrastructure on the 3DS, they could just ban these idiots instead of ruining it for the rest of us. This shouldn't happen in 2013, but it's Nintendo, so I'm not surprised, just frustrated.

Re: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Delayed Until Early 2014

@thesilverbrick Yes, that should do pretty well. The Wii U is in a really bad spot and it really could've used a game like DKC:TF. Third party support is going down the drain and Nintendo delaying one of their big titles isn't going to instill confidence into publishers or even consumers. I like my Wii U, but Nintendo has made so many mistakes with it.

Re: Soapbox: Retail Games Cost Too Much To Download From The eShop

@SCAR392 Okay? We're talking about high prices on digital downloads. Nintendo prices EVERYONE of their first party games on the e-shop at the same price at retail, at least in the U.S. It's terrible. Sony and Microsoft do it with their consoles, too. So don't act like I'm defending Sony. I only brought up Vita game prices as an example. Oh, and speaking of memory, you know the deluxe Wii U only comes with a paltry 32 GB? You're going to need a $70-100 500 GB External HDD, if you're going all digital. I don't have a Vita, and the overpriced, proprietary memory cards is one of the reasons I don't own one. And I also don't buy digital Wii U games either, for the reasons I've already stated.
