It makes sense. It's probably one of the reasons GC support is being dropped on the Wii U. Nintendo doesn't see any of the money from used game sales but they will from rereleasing them in a digital format.
@Vinsanity Just a bit of FYI but fanboyism is tiring and annoying no matter which way it swings. Why do you think so many forums are terrible to visit?
Honestly he was fairly complimentary of the Wii U, calling it very cool and an interesting piece of tech. He even admits he was wrong with his skepticism of the original Wii.
Listen to Slapshot, for he speaks the truth. Shadow Complex is a fantastic title.
@expa0 Fighting games aren't really western developers strong suits (outside of Mortal Kombat), but the best strategy games are always made by western developers. Just look on the PC.
@edhe Oh, there's nothing ironic about it. I welcome well thought out criticism of games, genres and systems, and never did I say anyone not agreeing with me was childish. I was referring to certain posters whose arguments boil down to "FPS games are teh suxxorz!!!"
@edhe What? Are we even talking about the same thing here? I made a prediction about people lining up to take childish shots at the FPS genre, and you somehow spun that into me talking about people defending Nintendo. Bizarre.
As a side note, I just saw the Bioshock Infinite trailer shown behind closed doors at this years E3 and I can safely say it looks far more interesting and creative than pretty much anything else shown. Just saying.
@Warioswoods: While I honestly feel the Miis and avatars are about equally ugly (for different reasons), I was more referring to the hope that they'd take the cues on customization.
I'd prefer the a system like the avatars on the 360. Not only does it offer more customization but it allows you to unlock new stuff in various titles, which is always a neat bonus.
@EEMarvel (post 42) I'm glad we could hear from someone that has done some research of his own on the topic.
@TrueWiiMaster.(post 53) That's really more of an issue of the anonymity of the internet. A**holes are easy find online regardless of what they're playing or doing.
Honestly, the best way to find the worst in gamers is bring up this topic. Some love to label, and the amount of projection going on in just these comments alone has been astounding. You play what you like, let others play what they like and stop b*tching about them.
I will personally love everyone here if they don't stop using the terms "hardcore" and "casual". thank you for not bringing it to threats of violence — TBD
@Gamesake That was pretty much my reaction watching the video as well. I'd still like to see it get released here to help keep the Wii going just a little longer.
Yeah, they've been selling various types of "gaming shades" for some time. I've heard they do work (kind of), but apparently colors in games tend to be washed out while wearing them.And you'd look like a total douche wearing them.

Re: Iwata Shoulders Blame for Low 3DS Sales, Cuts Salary in Half
Ha, these comments are delightful. So many flavors of bizarre.
Re: 3DS Drops to $169.99 from 12th August
I'm still a little pissed that I paid full price for it only to see the price drop so quickly but at least we get something out of the deal.
Re: There's Nothing Suggestive About This Video At All
LOL @ Japan.
Re: New 3DS System Update Warns You About Piracy
"Furthermore such use may lead to injury to yourself"
You heard it here: Hacking your 3DS may cause Nintendo to dispatch hired goons to your location.
Re: If Fans Speak Up, Majora's Mask 3DS Might Happen
How about some new games? I really like MM, but we've seen more than enough remakes from Nintendo for awhile.
Re: Preview: The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Too bad Lord Ghirahim looks so terrible. I guess as long as the gameplay can make up for him/her then its not much of an issue.
Re: GameCube to See New Downloadable Life on Wii U
It makes sense. It's probably one of the reasons GC support is being dropped on the Wii U. Nintendo doesn't see any of the money from used game sales but they will from rereleasing them in a digital format.
Edit: Damn, Jesussaves beat me to it.

Re: Mega Man Legends 3 Cancelled
100+ comments already? Surprising considering how niche the first two were.
Re: Review: Solatorobo: Red the Hunter (DS)
A furry RPG? Strange.
Re: Uncharted Studio: "Wii U is Full of Holes, Nothing Sony Can't Do"
Honestly he was fairly complimentary of the Wii U, calling it very cool and an interesting piece of tech. He even admits he was wrong with his skepticism of the original Wii.
Nothing to get all worked up about here.
Re: Review: ANIMA: Ark of Sinners (WiiWare)
Too bad. Ridiculous main character aside I was hoping for a decent Castlevania knock-off.
Re: Cliff Bleszinski Thinks Wii U Naysayers Will Still Buy It

No worries.

Re: The Thought of a Shooter-Only Future Makes Iwata Sad
I'd reply to Waveboy but he'll say the same thing again in a dozen different threads.

@Splat
Yeah, it's just a matter of time. I'm pretty much waiting for the dumb comments to flood in.
Re: Awesome Nintendo Hip-Hop Starts Your Weekend Right
Put a smile on my face even if it's one of the nerdiest things I've ever heard.
Re: Naka and Iizuka Drop Hints at Third NiGHTS Game
Can't be as terrible as the Nights game that hit the Wii several years back.
Re: Capcom Will Not Repeat Mercenaries 3D Save File Mistake
Good for you Capcom.
Re: Talking Point: The Growing Storm of Operation Rainfall
I couldn't care less about any of those titles, but would it really be so hard for Nintendo to localize at least one of them?
Re: SEGA, Aksys and Konami All Use Permanent 3DS Save Data Too
@DarkKirby
You're arguing semantics there. Most cartridge games allow you to delete saves by starting a new game and overwriting the old file.
Re: SEGA, Aksys and Konami All Use Permanent 3DS Save Data Too
If this becomes more widespread I might just have to sell my 3DS.
Re: Rumour: SEGA Preparing a Third Sonic Storybook Game
And it's going to suck.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th June 2011 (North America)
Something good for the 3DS virtual console and something decent for the Wii VC? Nice.
Re: Review: Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D (3DS)
I imagine this would have been better as a budget release or a downloadable title.
Re: RE Mercenaries 3D Save Data Will Not Die
Lame.
Re: Ark of Sinners Scheduled for Release Next Month
@Omega
Lol!
Re: Ark of Sinners Scheduled for Release Next Month
I just can't stop laughing at what the main character is wearing. It looks like something I would have come up with when I was 13.
Re: Feature: Sonic: The Nintendo Years - Part Two
Occasionally I feel as if I'm too hard on Sonic, but after reading these articles I've come to realize if anything I'm much too lenient.

Re: Fils-Aime: "3DS Didn't Launch Prematurely"
Yes it was.
Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
Alright, everyone who has become worked up over this statement line up for wedgies. You know you've been asking for it.
Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
@Pogocoop
Yes, let's encourage more users to act like children. What a wonderful idea.
Re: Sony: Wii U is No Threat, Says "Welcome to 2006, Nintendo"
That's cute: It's like Jack Tretton and Reggie Fils-Aime are competing to see who can spew the most sh*t out of their mouths.
Re: Wii Sold an Estimated 236,000 Units Last Month in U.S.
The Wii did just get a price drop so it's not terribly surprising to see it do those numbers.
Re: Review: The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX (Game Boy Color)
Feels a bit generous to me but it seems that's just how NL rolls.
Re: Feature: Gaming Thoughts of a Self-Confessed Tattooligan
Anyone willing to show off his gamer cred with that much ink gets a thumbs up from me.
Re: Wii U Uses 25GB Discs and Lacks GameCube Compatibility
Not terribly surprising. Now they can make money by selling them again on the Super Wii as downloads.
Re: Even Mercenaries Need a Fresh Change of Clothes
Looks like Rebecca is going undercover to catch pedophiles. And Barry? He seems to be going through a leather daddy phase.
