The rewards are getting weaker and weaker...

@DarkLink95 That's probably the only thing in the way of the hackers, Nintendo's updates. It's up to the hackers to decide if they are going to keep hacking the system, and it also depends on how often Nintendo releases updates to prevent hacks.

@midnafanboy I didn't mean "No questions asked" in a literal sense. It was just a closing sentence. Also, hackers might still try to work around the update. It can still happen.

Also, hackers, with enough dedication, can make this homebrew run 3DS roms. No questions asked.

@Dipper723 With enough dedication, anything can be worked around. All technology is hackable.

@antdickens Tokyo Megaplex. YES YES YES. Anthony, that would be a 3 lap track since you blast up to the top every time you enter the tube. I'd also want Mercury City Meltdown. Aloha Ice Jam would be cool too since there'd be underwater sections and at the end of the track, you could take a tube above the tunnel and glide to the finish line, instead of jumping off the icebergs.

@ThomasBW84 You should update this since it was confirmed as a stunt, aka fake.

Extension of the Premium / Deluxe Wii U Promotion
That's what I want. I'm glad many people voted this.

Mushroom Kingdom Warriors.

I'm gonna wait for more themes to come out. These SSB ones are fine, but I don't need an overload of them since I'm getting so much Smash related stuff later on.

When Rosalina & Luma's Amiibo comes out, I'm guessing it'll add Luma next to Rosalina like in Mario Kart Wii.

I think the Bullet Bill bullets are a cool idea. I really like these designs.

Long-hair Peach as a costume in MK8 maybe?

I'll start using this service once the Deluxe Digital Promotion ends. I hope this ends up on the New 3DS too.

If 4 V 4 is too much for some people, I think 3 V 3 would be great. I hope this becomes a thing.

I really wanted this one from Japan...

Wait, the Wii U is $300? I think a price cut would probably benefit them since more people would be able to buy a console. Although, considering that the other consoles are high priced, I think the Wii U can stay the same.

@Jazzer94 I haven't seen the video but can he access the settings to disconnect it from the internet? If not, I guess he could disable his WiFi entirely and do it that way, but I don't know if that'll fix it.

There is no escape from hacking. All the technology in the world can be and will be hacked by people, no matter what.

I wonder if the shields lift up when you're gliding...

I wanna get the Kyary ones. Both of them actually. I gotta hold off on this though since I need to save money for Smash Wii U and the new 3DS.

If Capcom files for bankruptcy in the future, will they lose their rights to their franchises? (I'm guessing no). So would Nintendo be able to purchase Megaman?

If it were removed, it'd be very disappointing. Obviously the ESRB rating system is flawed because of the people that work there. I bet people who rate games also rate movies. They are straight forward with what they want changed or removed, but they aren't straight forward with why.

Yay, cheap, plastic toys from a fast food restaurant.
_{I actually got one from my siblings.}

The physics when performing tricks off the ramp seems a little iffy to me...
The music isn't really my cup of tea either.

Eh. I would've wanted Super Mario Wave Race.

@Jazzer94 I know, but there are actually people out there that want this to be a fully fledged product for regular use. Some people don't see why it's not worth it. This whole mod is fine as it's more of a novelty than anything.

I heard that the Nintendo Network User Agreement changed to prohibit the use of Gamecube controllers or other mods on the 3DS. Although this mod is cool, it is in a sense, pointless.

First off, it's a handheld that you can take with you everywhere. You're not gonna be playing a 3DS on the bus using a Gamecube controller. That's just impractical. Second, the Wii U version will include Gamecube controller support. We can wait for it to come out in November. Lastly, I don't see many people buying this since it won't last that long once the Wii U version comes out.

All in all, it's a good idea, but it just has flaws that would be a detriment to the overall product's lifespan.

I'd say her body proportions are realistic in a sense. I mean, it's not a figure you'd come by very often, so it might seems unrealistic.

I needed to make an avatar out of this. Here's some from the website:

I had the original and I think it deserves a 3. It's a pretty terrible spin-off game.
I hope people don't buy this game, especially hardcore fans of the main series.

Mushroom Kingdom Warriros
There's their next game.

@GreatPlayer This is why I pick Frantic over regular. You'd have a better chance for a better item, but the system as a whole isn't balanced. I've done all these tips before in Time Trials, but they don't add much in an actual race.

@dudujencarelli We're talking about Mario Kart 8, not Mario Kart 7. They are both different on skill and luck.

If your playing with Frantic Items, I'd recommend having 4 full bars of acceleration since you'll be getting hit more often and you'll need to get back into the race ASAP.

My setup for Frantic Items:

This is so adorable... the screencap is adorable. I didn't watch the video .

I said this before, but I'll quote it:

The review is very acceptable. I have had it when it first came out, and I agree with the score. There's a lot of grinding involved too.

OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH OH MY GOSH!!!!
So, much, yes. Let's see some character reveals.

@Beetlejuice I see where you got this from... A very furry-oriented site... I've seen it before.

I having a feeling furries will really like this. At the same time though, I really like this anyways, so I don't care. I wish there were more costumes. I thought Crystal would fit too.

@King47 I'm on the same boat with you. The jacket is nice, but I'm not making a Twitter account for it. I don't have any use for it.

@WaLzgi But could you still say stuff anonymously. Not through Facebook, but through a random online profile, possibly here at NL, or some other website so you won't be tracked down / known.

@WaLzgi "This is why employees should not have free reign on what they say online under their company's name."

Fixed that for you.

I actually like this because I can play games from other countries without region lock problems. I'm also sure that people will reverse engineer this homebrew and use it for piracy.

Japan always has the cute stuff!! >w<

@ravj17 I'm going with a physical release too, but only for the 3DS version, not the Wii U. I wanna download the Wii U version to get $5 dollars back through Nintendo's Deulux Digital Promotion.

@Jazzer94 Yeah that's about right.

@WaLzgi There could be a connection between piracy and rising sales. I think it can happen, but barely. It's such a small sales push for video games that it doesn't really help a big name company such as Nintendo, but it might help indie developers by spreading the word about their game. Piracy tends to work well for music and I'm not sure why it works so favorably for it instead of video games.

By the way, I'm not good at making these kind of comments, but I hope I typed it out in a manner that's understandable.

@Geonjaha I think piracy does play a role in a products sale. What @unrandomsam said does have meaning. On the Wii, the games that sold the most were usually the ones that were pirated the most. Part of why that happens is because modders / hackers tend to buy the game after they pirate it because they wan't to get deep into the disk's content rather than a tampered version from online. Plus, they'd want to make a backup incase they lose the disk.

Surprisingly, pirates are usually the ones who end up spending the most.
Here's some videos on piracy, but not directly on video games.

One major deciding factor is the price. If it's too expensive, and you barely get to use it, that's money possibly wasted. If you spend a decent amount, and you don't get to use it much, that's money possibly wasted.

It also depends on the type of Amiibo you get. If you get Mario, chances are that you'll get to use him a lot since he's in a lot of games. Get the Wii Fit Trainer, and the only place you might use it is in Smash Bros and Wii Fit, which is pretty shallow.

I hope they make a Peach and Toad figurine too.
