Re: Nintendo Issues Statement on Wii U Hacking Attempt

@Sonic260 If I were to guess, the modification is probably software, not a modchip or such.

Edit: Oh, it does appear to be hardware.

@willobee, I don't think he was trying to justify it. Just pointing out something that you may not have noticed or thought of.

@AbeVigoda Thank you for making me spit out my water.

@ People wondering what the huge draw to karaoke in Japan is

In Japan, karaoke is big. And also where it originated. After a long day of conforming to strict social standards, karaoke and alcohol are the way Japanese people can just let it all out.

Re: Nintendo Of America Rep Insists That Lost Digital Content "Not Covered For Replacement"

@rafaelluik It's in the Play Store's contract to save their butts in case something goes wrong. You can redownload Play Store games/movies/music/books on a new phone. Same with iTunes.

@CrissCross87 This is true. But imagine you have one 3DS. If you only use cartridge based games, you've lost one game and a console. Now imagine you have a 3DS with four retail games on it from the eShop. If you're in the USA, that's going to be around $160, plus the cost of the console. That's a bit of dough to lose.

Re: Pentagon To Review Controversial New "Nintendo" Medal

I think it is still something to be awarded for, but not above physical combat (only term I can think of) medals. While drone piloting would be very mentally painful, you're probably not risking losing limbs or your life. However, drone pilots do get a better look at the detestation they just caused.

Re: Renegade Kid Worried About 3DS Piracy

Colors! 3D was originated from Colors!, an amazing homebrew app for the DS. This, along with Hugo, are just a few of the many examples of how homebrew isn't bad. The 3ds hacking that people are so worried about was no more than a "Hello World!" app...
