Re: Hacker Claims to Demonstrate an Exploit to Mod a Wii U System and Mario Kart 8

Alot of people, maybe not in the U.S. but countries like Mexico, Brazil, Chile, (pretty much all Latin America) alot of people in these countries can't afford a console and multiple games, SO believe it or not, A LOT of them wait until a console is hackeable/has access to free retail games and when they see they CAN buy the console and expend zero $$$ you know what they do? (or did before) they rush to buy that console or consoles, about %40 of Wii's sold consoles came from people like these, piracy sure does kill software sales, but it boosts hardware sales bigtime.. I hate piracy but this is a real thing, most of you don't believe it cause you live in U.S or UK, but piracy is a big, big thing in my country and others.

@slim80 omg what are you 10? that was the most childish comment i've read on NintendoLife
And No, learn2read. Homebrew didn't make the wii popular, Piracy did. Pirated retail games, free games (Of course GOOD and awesome games helped it too, along with motion controls made it popular)
And gee, think about it, someone even said it before, the amount of games bought per wii console (meaning, how many games a person with a wii console ended up buying, AKA attach rate i believe) was low, why? cause games were not selling as much, people either didn't buy games or they pirated them, simple!

i hate piracy.
I have the homebrew channel on both my Wii and Wii U (Wii mode) but to execute homebrews.
GUYS, like it or not, piracy is what made the Wii so popular, and the X360 too, atleast here in Mexico... they sold like crazy because everyone could have free games and buy them right off the flea market.
Maybe... if Wii U gets piratted as the Wii, it could go big and success?

@Sherman It is, the legal age in Sinaloa is 12 even.
I believe that allows two, 12+ teenagers to have sex with each other (or a 12+ with a 17 year old)
I don't know if it's legal to have sex with a 15 year old if you're, say, 19 or something?
I guess i'm not beautiful cause im not from Sinaloa
But, i went there not long ago, and the place is like a burning hell! in my state the temperature is always between 25-36 C•

Oh god, i was watching on my ipod touch in portrait and when the lighting hit the guy i thought it ripped off his head and that he was bleeding (again, watched this on an ipod touch, its so small for me to notice)
i swear my heart stopped there... then i watched it again more closely and realized his head just shrunk, that was an scary moment..

Re: Exclusive: Lost Wii Game, Sadness, To Be Revived as Wii U Exclusive

This all sounds great and all....
But 2D? that's... awful, i don't know how it will work out.
And 2016? This is a 2D game, why would it even take that long? most people will move on eventually...
i really hope this doesn't turn out like The Mystical Journey (TMJ) eh Daniel Gump?, that game has been in development for about 6 years for the DSi browser THEN the 3DS browser, but nothing still.
If the game turns out good i'll get it, but i have no hope
