Re: THQ Adds Clarity To The Wii U "Horrible, Slow CPU" Comments

"The reality is that would mean a dedicated team, dedicated time and effort, and it would either result in a detriment to what we're trying to focus on, already adding a PlayStation 3 SKU, or we probably wouldn't be able to do the Wii U version the justice that we'd want."

No, Sherlock. Heaven forbid you actually make the effort, anti Nintendo people.

What are they going to say next, that the Sun rises on the east?

Does anyone know if HDMI can be used for video while component audio cables can be used simultaneously (such as with the PS3's multi-output option)? My HDTV doesn't exactly support optical cable support (it does have an orange SPDIF input, though). I just have a Logitech 2.1 speaker system (all I really need for an apartment).

Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy To Be Pulled From Wii Virtual Console

@TheDreamingHawk "Better graphics on the GBA?" Surely, you jest. The GBA had no backlight, so one had to suffer the horribly washed-out colors and high contrast levels (this was done to compensate for the dark screen). No thank you. How the music was ported on the GBA was an insult to the Snes version.

But the fact they're removing from the VC just added another strike against Nintendo's crappy handling of the Virtual Console. They own the rights to the DKC series (and all the characters, assets, etc are also owned by Nintendo), so,it can't be a copyright issue. Nintendo also owns the characters (original and old) in Star Fox Adventures, but that's another story.
