@brooks83 im trying to find the source, but these "online checks" are real, Sony, Microsoft and even Valve apply those digital checks, after a certain amount of time if the check is not made, the game simply wont be playable.

@MikeW nintendo has the right to delete your digital games if they please to do so, they can delete them anytime and it's legal, it's their "right" but they don't do it cause its stupid and it would infuriate their clients.
And yes Super Mario World is an offline games, however a console (Wii U) needs to connect to the internet every once in a while to make a "check" on nintendo's servers, this "check" lets your digital games be played, and if theres no internet, after some loooong while (like 10 years) the Wii U won't be able to "check" on the internet, therefore the games would get into a "unplayable" mode, unless the console connects to the internet to make the check up, but in a distant future there might be no online for the wii u=no playable digital games

@outburst @maneauleau you dont need to be connected to the internet to play digital games, however, you DO NEED to connect to the internet every once in a while for games to work/be playable, if you bought a digital game on wii u, then disconnect your wii u from the internet for, lets say 10 years, after that time has passed, your game will vanish, the console wont let you play it, why? because digital games have to pass a check up on the internet every once in a while, and when nintendo's online servers are taken down in the future, all those digital games will be unplayable due to the console not being able to check if the games are legit on nintendo's online servers

@MikeW Yes, every digital game you have purchased on the Wii U can be deleted and revoked from you at any time by nintendo, in fact in the future when nintendo lets the Wii U's servers die out, all your digital games will be rendered unplayable, digital games are pretty much just a rental system.

@LilC The Wii U doesn't even use SD cards to save games.
And fine, physical games do break or get lost, but in the next 10-15 years, all your digital Wii U/3DS games will be unplayable.

@Bulbousaur you should buy the game on day one, the game's server won't crash again, take in mind how many people played the demo.. now think aboit how many of these people will actually buy the game, maybe only 1/4 of these people will buy it, less people= better server stability=no crashes.

@ianolivia the Wii U crashes sometimes, it once froze up when i was playing Mario kart 8 4 player local

Why are people so dumb?
This was a TEST.
I can't believe some people will not buy this game because the server crashed.
Do you all realize that ALOT of people were playing the game? and EVERYONE WITH A WII U could play it? now.. do you think all of these people will buy the game?
When the game comes out, there won't be as many people online, cause not everybody will buy it.
So the server WILL NOT crash.
It makes me so mad to see people this dumb.

Oh godi love all things space-related, movies, music, games whatever! this looks great

Isaiah White it's pretty bad at PR... i even used to know him, the only thing bad about him and his gaming development is that he makes about 10 games at a time.

Can Canadians please stop whining about the prices of games?
Brazilians, Australians and us in Mexico have it WAY WORSE.
Games in the US go for $60 USD
In Mexico, we used to pay $1000 MXN for each game. $1000 MXN= $67 USD
But since splatoon, all games from now on, including pre orders from future games.
Will cost us $1200 MXN= $80 USD

MEANWHILE the minimum wage per DAY in Mexico is $60 MXN= $4 mere USD
So... you see... we have it alot worse than you do.

@iamblinker I thought the same as well, but i'm still getting splatoon on day one, along with the triple pack of amiibo, i do have money but it is annoying to pay so much for games.

@iamblinker actually, $1200 peso = $79 USD
We in Mexico are paying WAY too much for games, almost $20 USD more! the hell is going on? we used to pay $1000 peso ($66 USD~) For new games but now its even worse.. this is awful news for our gaming future @ikki5 @rjejr well yeah you should be happy you're getting it for $60 USD, i guess Brazil has it even worse than Mexico and Canada.

Amazing! i got stuck halfway cause of the difficulty of the controls, good to hear

How pathetic, the game looks awful to me though, better off playing Limbo.

@rjejr @ikki5 Hello, i see your games are getting more expensive in Canada? well it's the same in Mexico.
All NEW games in Mexico used to cost around $1000 pesos, now they cost $1200 pesos.. and this all started with splatoon, but now all sony/xbox/nintendo games from the future and so on will cost $1200 pesos.
This is all because our $Mexican Peso$ is devaluating, along with $CAD it seems, meanwhile the American Dollar's worth just keeps going up.

They are Mexican, their studio is based in Mexicalli.
They do develop mobile games since 2011, check up their facebook page.
I feel they can be trusted, would be great if the project could be funded.
By the way the project launched yesterday and they have $261 alredy, hope they reach their goal

_{We are done with that portion of the conversation. Please let it go — TBD}
