"I don’t think it’s going to be a big success" says the man whose company went under and crashed the gaming market in 1983. Guess who saved the industry? I think it start with "Nin" and ends with "tendo".
"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).
@madgear And Nintendo wonders why piracy is such an issue. If they're constantly removing games due to "licensing" issues, it makes them look like morons.
@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.

Can't wait for Capcom's cease and desist order.
Re: Renegade Kid Worried About 3DS Piracy
@SteveW Like Nintendo would ever allow people to bypass region locking on the 3DS Region locks are of the devil I tells ya.
Re: Renegade Kid Worried About 3DS Piracy
@MasterGraveheart Except when they disable region locking.

I still have a DS lite in my room, I just need a new battery.
Re: Capcom Announce Street Fighter X Mega Man
@Bass_X0 They're just upset because they still don't know that a Mac falls under the definition of "Personal Computer"

Re: The Godfather of Video Games Is Baffled By The Wii U
@Epicnessofme99 Atari, the first company to make a crappy arcade to console port. Pacman for the Atari 2600 anyone?

I've seen better lighting on the N64.
Re: Guide: Using USB Storage with the Wii U
@ThePillowGolem That's not what Nintendo told me in an email. My guess is that didn't know what I was talking about. Has anyone tested this yet?
Re: Guide: Using USB Storage with the Wii U
@Schprocket What are you talking about? EaseUS Partition software will work fine on Windows. Why the Wii U doesn't allow partitioning I'll never know.
Re: Guide: Using USB Storage with the Wii U
Y U no allow partitioned HDDs?
Re: Guide: Using USB Storage with the Wii U
Luckily, HDDs are dirt cheap, but

@Discostew Whoa, I didn't know you were here either! You probably know me from another gaming-related site.
Re: THQ Adds Clarity To The Wii U "Horrible, Slow CPU" Comments
@Red_Kinetic And yet, there are no official numbers on what the CPU is. They're still douchebags.
Trying to discredit the Wii U every step of the way. What a bunch of sods.

Re: The Wii U CPU Is "Horrible" According To Metro: Last Light Developer
Dear Huw Beynon, piss off and grow up. Stop being such a wiener just because your games suck.
Re: Microwave 'Artist' Returns to Melt a Wii U
What a douche. Nintendo still made money off of it, so HA-HA!
Re: Nintendo Has No New Wii Games In The Pipeline
@koops330 The interest in that game paled in comparison to the other Operation Rainfall games had.
Re: Simple Workaround Allows You To Play Wii U Games Off An SD Card
@drdark Why would USB-only HDDs be bad? If AC-powered HDDs were being used and there was a power outage, that kind of HDD would suffer as well.
Re: Take An In-Depth Look At What's Under The Wii U's Shiny Exterior
@Chrno-x Newsflash, the Gamecube had a more powerful GPU and higher polygon count. I have info to back this up, too.
Re: Take An In-Depth Look At What's Under The Wii U's Shiny Exterior
@H_Hunter You know the specs of the Wii U? Most impressive, you must show me this list of yours.

Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy To Be Pulled From Wii Virtual Console
@TanookiMike Nintendo can't release the games it has the rights to? Makes sense to people, right?
They own all DKC assets, so....
Re: Donkey Kong Country Trilogy To Be Pulled From Wii Virtual Console
I'd like to see the morons responsible for its removal. Genius move, Nintendo of Europe, genius move. Lousy pillocks.
