Re: Nintendo's Stance On Directs Hasn't Changed Despite Gap Between Presentations

ed5275

Pretty understandable that they have held off. They had to wait until Prime 4 was officially changing gears and then get out in front of it. A Direct before that announcement would have been a disaster and you can't juxtapose the two things because you want to leave people on a high note. Let the Prime 4 sadness dissipate and then get something fun out there.

Re: Random: Pro Smash Bros. Player Gets One-Week Twitch Ban After "Passing Out" On Stream

As a professional drinker of 22 years, I believe this was done as a bit. In order to pass out like a ton of bricks like that, you'd have to be at a BAC pushing upwards and past .30. Had he fallen asleep sitting up, that would have been a legit pass out (which, really is just falling asleep). I mean...he even did the stereotypical "wobbly head" thing that nobody does in real life.

Drunk? Yep. Legit mid-sentence pass-out to the floor while smiling and NOT dropping the beer first? Not a chance.

Re: Nintendo Takes Legal Action Against California Man For Selling Hacked Systems

ed5275

A few years ago, I paid a local kid $20 to hack my Wii and load it to the gills with NES, SNES Sega (MS and Genesis), Tubo Grafx, Atari, and PC games. Fantastic value that is still very much in use today. A couple years after that, he was working at a stable and a horse bit his thumb off. That horse's name...Epona. I am not making any of this up. He actually revealed the nub on Youtube and it was, well, exactly what you think.

Lesson: Nintendo is sending their horses to eat your thumbs, you dirty hacker.

Re: NES And SNES Classic Consoles Won't Be Restocked After Holidays, "Once They Sell Out, They’re Gone"

ed5275

Makes sense. These things don't make themselves for free. Eventually the sales curve was going to take a nose dive once the initial craziness died down. The NES Classic has been through two holiday seasons already. They have to feel like they maxed that out by now.

These things were a huge (albeit seemingly unexpected to them somehow) hit. They did a great job maximizing their sales.
