I will not be buying Splatoon until I can walk into the store and buy Splatoon and ALL 3 Splatoon amiibos at the same time whenever I choose to do so at MSRP or below.
Good! My kids love FL, now that it is coming to IOS and Android I only have to buy one copy. I am sick and tired of having to buy the same game 2 or 3 times. Also, FL is the perfect kind of game for mobile.
FYI, Mobile just doesn't mean having to play on your phone.
Most teachers are MORONS! You know what the easiest degree to get is? It's teaching, you know what major has the lowest act/sat scores? It is teaching. When I lived in New Mexico, graduates with teaching degrees couldn't pass a 7th grade level test to become teachers.
This crap is just the whole Tipper Gore thing all over again. I remember when they held a parents meeting at my school telling parents not to let us listen to Ozzy Osbourne. I listened and I didn't kill myself or bite any bats heads off.
I am the only person responsible for how I raise my kids. I am a gamer and my 12 yr old plays COD, GTA, and Far Cry and it doesn't concern me one bit. My kid is a straight A student and has never been in school and he knows it is just a game and make believe.
These are the same morons that call me a bad parent because my son has his own shotgun, rifle, handgun and bow. His #1 goal in life right now is going to the Air Force Academy and becoming a drone pilot.
@Flanktwo I already own 2 3DS XL's and I am contemplating buying a 3rd one. The Nintendo Store online has a whole bunch of refurbished ones for between $135/$140.
I have no desire to spend $200 for something that is only marginally better.
I like Pokemon Bank because they only allow one save file on Pokemon games
My kids also play Pokemon, but I am not buying 3 copies of every game. So I play the game first and when I am done I transfer all my Pokemon to the bank and then my kids take turn playing.
When they are done - I transfer my Pokemon back to the game.
I honestly don't get watching people on UTube play video games.
Call me crazy, I rather use that time playing the games myself.
I am about to ban UTube in my house - I swear that is all my kids do is watch other people play Minecraft on it.
We have two sign-ons for PC w/private server, we have it on PS3, Xbox 360, Kindle Fires, Ipad Mini 2's, Samsung Galaxy S5, Samsung Tab 3 8.0 and Samsung Tab 4 10.1. The only thing we don't have it on is 3DS and Wii U and if it was available we would probably have it on those also.
I took a Voluntary/Mandatory retirement from Citibank 6 years ago. I was one of 35,000 to do so Worldwide. I got the notice the same day they got their government (taxpayer) bail out.
I received a nice payout so I took the retirement to heart (became a stay at home dad) - about three years ago I decided it was time to go back to work, and NOTHING!
Basically, if you are long term unemployed they just throw your resume in the garbage. The only time I get a call is when I lie on my resume and say I am still employed or just was laid off.
Thankfully, I know how to handle my money and have always lived within my means. The bills are still getting paid and nobody is going hungry. My gaming hasn't suffered either.
Newsflash - Life is not fair. Feel said that nobody every taught you that. Just because somebody else gets something, doesn't mean your intitled to it also.
It is very simple, don't want a N3DS Xl, don't buy one.
They should of just scraped the regular 3DS all together and just make the XL (LL) the only model available.
I was given a regular 3DS as a present and after only a week I sold it and bought an XL - I now own two 3DS Xl's and was/is considering buying a 3rd (have 2 kids) - I honestly see no reason right now to buy the new 3DS. I am gonna wait to see what kind of deals come out for the old 3DS XL's or I will buy a refurbished one from Nintendo for $135.
The $200 I has set aside for a another 3DS XL's I spent on buying a new 2nd PS3 500 GB on Amazon for $220. Will be putting it in the kids game room so they don't need to come into my game room and play Minecraft online with their cousins - it is so annoying having to listen to them Worth every penny.

Re: Satoru Iwata Will Return as Nintendo Direct Host, Apologises Again for amiibo Shortages
I will not be buying Splatoon until I can walk into the store and buy Splatoon and ALL 3 Splatoon amiibos at the same time whenever I choose to do so at MSRP or below.
I will not jump through hoops Nintendo.
Re: Amazon Confirms US amiibo Pre-Order Times for Wave 4, Splatoon and Silver Mario
As long as you sheep keep jumping through the hoops, nothing will change.
If I just can't buy it when I want it, then I don't buy it. It really is that simple.
Re: BBC iPlayer Finally Arrives On The Wii U eShop
This is bullcrap! I am here in the States and I use Unlocater so I can watch BBC and ITV. I would like the option to watch on the Wii U.
I mean I have it on my Wii, Roku, Laptop, PC and my Android tablet. But it is not fair that I can't have it on my Wii U. (sarcasm)

Re: Humble Nindie Bundle Sells Over 37,000 Units in Just 24 Hours
My first ever Humble Bundle purchase, hopefully more will come from Nintendo and maybe Sony and Microsoft will join in.
Re: Review: Splatoon (Wii U)
When I can get it for $30 or less on Amazon Warehouse Deals, then I will buy it. No way I will pay $60.
Re: Humble Nindie Bundle Allows Wii U and 3DS eShop Gamers in North America to Pay What They Want

Re: The Latest Miiverse Update Has Users In An Uproar
Don't use, so don't care. I use my Wii U to play games, not for social media.
Re: Nintendo Download: 30th April (North America)
Nothing but CRAP! I guess Nintendo no longer wants or needs my money.
I already have Paper Mario on my 64 and Wii, I don't need it for my Wii U also.
Re: Nintendo Download: 23rd April (North America)
Just Mario Kart 8 DLC Pack 2 for me. if I wanna play Mario Kart DS, I will just play on my DSi XL!
Re: Best Buy Nabs Exclusive Splatoon Wii U Hardware Bundle in North America

Re: Let's Educate Parents About Mature Titles, Suggests Game-Loving Teacher
@DarthNocturnal My kids don't have smartphones but they do have tablets.
No reason for kids not to have tablets, they are GREAT tools for education.

Re: Pokémon Rumble World Arrives On The 3DS eShop Next Week
Just more crying babies, please just give us all a break.
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
Surprise Surprise! Nothing but a bunch of crying babies!
I am VERY HAPPY WITH THE CHOICES!
Nintendo doesn't have to give me crap, Microsoft has never given me anything for free and Sony has never given me anything for free.
I just downloaded Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, The Wonderful 101 and Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and it didn't cost me a PENNY!
Re: Nintendo Reveals the Final Club Nintendo Elite Rewards
I went with Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze! Came close a couple times of buying it, I am glad I waited.
Re: Head Teachers in the UK Issue Warning to Parents on 18-Rated Games Being Played by Children
My 12 year old also has his own shotgun, rifle, handgun and bow.
Re: Head Teachers in the UK Issue Warning to Parents on 18-Rated Games Being Played by Children
My 12 year plays GTA and COD and Far Cry and I have no problems with it.
He is a straight A student, never been in trouble, he is very respectable of others, and a all around great kid.
It is up to me and only me which games I let my kids play.
Re: Iwata: Nintendo NX Will Surprise People And Change Their Video Gaming Lives
The only reason the Wii U has failed is because the general gaming populus are MORONIC SHEEP.
Re: Nintendo Download: 12th March (North America)
I will be downloading OutRun 3D, but it does piss me off that we are not getting the same discounts that Europe got for the Sega 3D Classics.
I will pay full price for OutRun and Super Hang-On, if we would of got the same discount as Europe I would of bought all the rest.
Re: Talking Point: The Limited Edition Battle With eBay Scalpers Can be Tackled More Efficiently by Nintendo
DON'T CARE! I am not jumping through hoops for Nintendo. If I am at a store and I see something I want I will buy it. It is that simple.
Re: Nintendo Held Back Western Launch Of New 3DS Due To Limited Stock
@Flanktwo I already own 2 3DS XL's and I am contemplating buying a 3rd one. The Nintendo Store online has a whole bunch of refurbished ones for between $135/$140.
I have no desire to spend $200 for something that is only marginally better.
Re: Talking Point: New Nintendo 3DS, Operation Faceplate NA and the Bigger Picture
The XL is still a portable gaming device.
This is all you had to say. -Lz
Re: Talking Point: New Nintendo 3DS, Operation Faceplate NA and the Bigger Picture
@Inkling It is not the best option for me, so no reason to feel sorry for me.
Re: Pokémon Shuffle Available to Download Right Now, for Free, in Europe
I will be downloading and playing it, but I will not be spend a dime in doing so.
I have never spent a cent on any micro-transactions and I don't plan to start anytime soon.
Re: Interview: Nintendo's Damon Baker on the eShop Team, Reaching Out to Indies and Finding Games That Matter
I want a 2DS XL and I want it now - Nintendo sucks because they won't give me what I want - stomping feet!
Re: Nintendo of America's Damon Baker Explains the New Nintendo 3DS XL Decision and Desire to Engage With the Community
Just should of made the XL the only model available anywhere and just called it something else.
Re: Poll: Are You An Early Adopter With The New Nintendo 3DS?
I will not be buying any New3DS. Just don't have any justifiable reason to. I already have 2 3DS XL's and I never play with the 3D on.
If the prices go down, I will be buying a third 3DS XL, so I don't have to share with my kids.

Re: Live-Action Netflix Series For The Legend of Zelda is Reportedly in Development
I am a life long gamer, I am 43. I never realized until I started visiting gaming sites that Gamers are a bunch of whinny pricks.
I swear no matter what the article is about, it is nothing buy whining and pouting.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised since I also discovered that most lean to the left.
Re: New Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors in the UK Added to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D Skull Kid Figurine Promotion
Sorry, I do not jump through hoops for no one.
If I just can't buy something on Amazon, or at my local Best Buy, Gamestop or WalMart then I don't buy it.
I won't loose any sleep over it.
Re: Pokémon Bank Subscribers to Receive Final Evolutions of Meganium, Typhlosion and Feraligatr as Free Gifts
I like Pokemon Bank because they only allow one save file on Pokemon games

When they are done - I transfer my Pokemon back to the game.
So the Pokemon Bank comes in really handy for me.
Re: Editorial: Nintendo's YouTube Creators Program 'Beta' Provides Vital Feedback - It Won't Work
I can't make money off of other people music without giving them a cut and getting their permission.
I can't make money off of the NFL, NBA, MLB or NHL without giving them a cut and getting their permission.
I can't make money off of other peoples movies without giving them a cut and getting their permission.
But when it comes to Nintendo I should be able to make money off their products without giving them a dime and without their permission?
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
I am glad I don't get worked up over such trivial things
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
I am using my coins for games - so no need to be on the site. Have months to decide what I am gonna get.
Re: Club Nintendo Goes Rewards Crazy With Final Update in North America
I am thoroughly impressed, now I just have to decide what to get. Upset a little, I just bought Nes Remix and New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Wii Fit U.
Re: Nintendo's Revival of Animal Crossing: New Leaf to Continue with Nintendo Zone Item Distributions
Also - It has been a very long time that a Nintendo Zone has actually ever worked for me.
Re: Nintendo's Revival of Animal Crossing: New Leaf to Continue with Nintendo Zone Item Distributions
My kids used to play it all the time - then I bought them each Fantasy Life and now they never touch AC - New Leaf.
I told them I was going to trade in both of their copies of New Lead, and the both screamed NO!.

Re: Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version Now Available on European eShop
I just started playing Pokemon - I beat X & Y, and I just beat Ruby and I am looking to buy Sapphire.
I would have to say I like X/Y over Ruby. Ruby was good, just not as good as X/Y.
