i have this crazy theory that kinda made sense of the story of Other M, its pretty simple and its explain why a lot of things about all the little details that didn't make sense at 1st: Adam IS the deleter... and at the end, he didn't die with sector zero, he escape with it...
anyway, play the game again with that in mind, and even when there's plot twist that doesn't seems to make sense, like when he didn't authorised Samus to use the Varia suit until she reach the boss of the thermal area... just keep in mind that his orders are to "delete" any trace or witness of the unfrozable metroid experiment and salvage what he can, (and he's the only one who can since he's the one in the control room and they establish early on that their communication system won't work inside the station, giving him all the lattitude he needs, being the only one knowing where everyone is and giving them order, making it easy to isolate anyone at will) hence why he's the one who eliminate all his team and try to hinder Samus' investigation, which he didn't plan on having to deal with, which, once again, explain why he's so mad to see her there, like he doesn't want to have to deal with her, and keep her out of the loop while he's carrying out his mission...
i could go like this for hours, but i think you get the point, play the game with that idea in mind, and make your own opinion then...
i mean what a plot twist if i'm right, Adam being the bad guy, betraying Samus, escaping with the fruit of those experiments, i mean, now imagine how crazy the story of the sequel would have been... xD
yeah i totally get ya, i was interested by a game not long ago, Olympia Rising, and it looked fine, the critics seems to be decent, but when i finally played it, OMG it was so awful, the controls killed it for me, the game had a unique art style and setting, not that original, but still, and i had a good feeling i was going to enjoy it, but man, the sluginess and the framerate drops, it was like a Matrix scene that never ends, one of the worst experience i had buying a game blind in a long time...
as for Tallowmere, all i can say is: if anyone like roguelike games and platformers, and if gameplay is more important to you than shiny graphix, that game might interest you, imho, its worth it!! ;D
@JaxonH well in that case, like i said in my 1st comment: quite responsive, it feels good, there's no delay when you attack, your shield eventually become your best ally, tho is still forget to use it, weapons you gather are diverse and fun to experiement with, like in most rogue-like, and yeah, you have total control with the infinite jump!!
hope it helped a little, its only my humble opinion, but overall this game is a welcome addition to the eshop, and i'm really glad i picked up!! ;D
@JaxonH well its a platformer, and like its says in the article, you can infinitely jump, but there are spikes and traps to and most of the time there isn't enought space to fly over everthing, so prepare to close quarter fights, besides you need a key to progress to the next room, so you can't avoid combat... now there's nothing more to it if you've played a platformer before, just go watch the video on the eshop or youtube and you'll know everything there's is to know about it ;D
btw i feel like a have to mention, no, it doesn't seems to be as deep as DoD or to have as many diversity as tBoI, but its seems complex enough for what i've played so far (2-3h)... pretty enjoyable, and well priced!! ;D
after picking up The Binding of Isaac Ribirth on sale the other day, i was somehow thirsty for more roguelike games and i was naively hoping for something of the likes of Dungeons of Dredmor coming up to the eshop... well this one didn't dissapoint!!
simplistic, responsive, awesome music, and the platforming aspect makes it feel fresh, i love it, highly recommend it if your a fan of the genre!! ;D
give me metroid 5, prime 4 or even other m 2, (or even a good remake) but just give me a proper metroid game... and like many have already said, the gamepad of the wiiu would have been perfect for a prime game, either for scanning thing or simply displaying maps, even take notes, or any other info, it would have been perfect, such a shame they skip this gen...
@998613game «For those holding up pitch forks - go outside, take a long hard look at your life. If me publishing micro-games really upsets you that much, there is clearly something missing in your life - or perhaps your jealous you didn't think of it first. Either way - I will pray for you.»
no, i'm not jealous, no one is, your practice is just shady, you should be ashamed and pray for yourself instead...
plenty of games, if not almost all, are available for download on the web, in one way or another, and it doesn't stop any company like sony, nintendo or microsoft to sell their games, not everyone will go and pirate their games and/or use emulators just cuz its available...
Now if Doc64 never even try to get in contact with nintendo, which i doubt, but i truly, honestly don't know, yeah, you could argue that its was not the best/right way to go around things, but to say its now an impossibility because of that, i think it a naive/reductive view on how ppl can resolve issues, (even a big corporation like nintendo, its still made out of ppl) who ultimatly can take reasonable discisions and seize an opportunity when they come across one...
@BensonUii i'm sorry, i didn't express myself correctly and i shouln't have brought @Monkey_Balls in this even tho i think you both seems to share the same views when it comes to metroid fans' indignation... (idk, i still feel like it was wrong for me to do that, u know, assuming stuffs...)
and you're right, nintendo had to protect their IP, where i dissagree, and i don't think we'll ever come to a consensus on this, is, i don't think nintendo's only option was to shut down the project, like in many other cases, not every single one, but in some very specific cases, Nintendo and their fans could greatly profit from a collaboration between the 2 parties instead of just burning the bridges w/o ever having any hope for a middle ground solution...
Now in both cases, i think your stand on "juridictions vs ethics" is where we'll never see eye to eye on those subjects... cuz in both cases we all agree about the laws and how they did or didn't respect them, but in the grand scheme of things, we definitly don't agree on the moral value of both cases,...
like for me if you don't see how noble or reprehensible things like AM2R tribute and RCMADIAX scams are, that is where and why we dissagree...
and for you it seem to be almost the exact opposite, like, project like AM2R are hurting nintendo and RCMADIAX is doing us all a favor even if its of bad taste
(i'm caricaturing both of our opinions, but that's just to help see the points better...)
Now who's right? i think its for others to decide, i'm just glad we can both have different views and being able to share them here, i mean isn't that the point of all this: the clashing of opinions?! ;D
@Drumpler i have to agree with your last paragraph... except i don't think that's how game publisher works, i mean usually publisher make their own games or ask a studio to developp for them, they don't go on a game assets store and try to flip over assets, but still, you're right, Nintendo sure don't seems to care!!
@BensonUii well analogies are not meant to be perfect, only to convey a point, which some might miss is they take it to litteraly...
Anyway, if ppl buy a licence for a "digital-toolbox" (assets) and resell it as is, without applying any changes to it, and didn't even care (or barely) to change the name of it (like Pixel Slime is sell on the eshop as Pixel Slime U, but really, its same exact game) one can argue that he didn't make any game, they didn't use the "toolbox/assets" they just distributed it...
Is this BS legal, yeah, it is... But if you can't see what is wrong with this, i sincerely can't help you...
Also, i've seen this since «@Monkey_Balls Truth! Goes to show people are being biased. /Thread» let me tell you guys that you both are pretty bias too, since you seems to have a problem with AM2R but ur perfectly fine with the RCMADIAX,... i mean, for me you're lost causes, i don't think we'll ever agree on those 2 subjects, if on any...
@DTFaux btw, i truly think you resumed it best, of all the comments i seen so far in this thread:
«It is kind of ironic how the former (assets flipping) is only morally questionable but perfectly legal, while the latter (AM2R) is morally praised but legally questionable.»
my god, really @BensonUii ?! i'm pretty sure you're smart enough to understand my analogy, and assets are basically toolbox, i don't see why i'm even explaining that...
@AcclaimDev if i buy a toolbox and keep it sealed, then reseling it like its my tool box, i haven't done nor created ANYTHING, yet technically we can all agree that its legally MY toolbox, right?!
well that's what this is, and ppl should be made aware of this, then if they are ok with this practice, so be it, but i'm not...
EDIT: and i seriously doubt that most ppl would be ok with that too
Using assets that you paid for is ok. Releasing assets WITHOUT ANY CHANGES what so ever...?!
Now, i've played some of those games, like Pixel slime U... and i ALSO clicked on the link in the article to see what Pixel slime was... its the EXACT SAME THING... -_-
So for any of you defending this BS, shame on you, i mean, playing devil's advocate is one thing, but having clearly no clue of what ur talking about and WHAT ur defending is a whole other thing...
No one in their right mind can defend this once they've seen the evidences, and its right there in the article, so click on it, make your own opinions and we'll see if you're still defending this...
@PigmaskFan actually, the way copyright laws work, they HAD to do somthing, they had to say «hey look this is our IP», now instead of shuting the project down, could they had embraced it, yeah, sure, they could have, and said «hey this is an impressive tribute, but since its our IP, we can't let you distribute it for free, but MAYBE we could work something out» but that's not what they choose to do... in both cases, it was their right and duty to protect their IP, but being blind to what kind of opportunity that would have been for both side in this story to say YES instead of NO, that's what is simply dissapointing in all of this...
Dissapointing... but yeah, that's how Nintendo choose to handle this...
Did they had to take action: Yes. Could they have handle this differently: Yes. Do i have any hope they will do what's best for them and the fans in this very situation: No.
that's one way for Nintendo to admit that there isn't much to spend our coins on, almost nothing besides the Zelda picross, and that wasn't using gold coins... anyway, can't complain, that's actually a good news since i have like 440 gold coins and nothing worth it or that i don't already own to spend them on, and i would probably have been of the ones loosing some at the end of the month without that change, so... lets just hope we get some goodies from the direct or in the near future!! ;D
i was thinking of getting Lego City: Undercover but then i realise once in the eshop that since i live in canada, those game are still 29.99 instead of 19.99... i mean, its still better than full price, but, idk...
i'm gonna get most of those games, but the one i'm the most excited about are: axiom verge, severed, fast and SWH in HD!! oh also antipode, shantae and juton... ;D
@-DEMISE- oh and if all you need to stop is me letting you have the last word, please, go ahead, be my guess as they say, all i ask is that you stop being agressive and negative towards other users just cuz you don't agree with them... i mean if you're not a child, stop acting like one...
@-DEMISE- i mean, i realise how telling you to stop is not helping, but you seems to suffer from some heavy Angry Managment Issues or something, and if NL is ok with letting you bark at everyone like this w/o consequences, well...
@DrRandle well i don't disgree with anything you just said, and if you read carefully my 1st comment on this tread, i think i sum it up pretty clearly and how i was myself pretty impressed by what i've seen so far of this spin-off title,... i just, like as always, naively try to explain to ppl who don't understand why fans are being upsets that there are ligitimate reasons to be disapointed... its not a matter of bieng right or wrong, others who think and act differently are not crazy or stupid, if only ppl could try to put themselves in their shoes before misjudging them, anyway...
wow @-DEMISE- chill out dude, i told you that you are disrespectful cuz you are, its the second time i interact with you on this site and twice you just go all ape on me for no reason, at this point idk what's ur problem, i sincerely, i don't want to know... just go bother someone else and try to be constructive and act with some notion of civism for a change...
@TrueWiiMaster i agree, a metroid rpg would be kinda cool, but also, about my analogy earlier, i was mostly thinking about how we learn by "monkeying", thanks to mirror neurons and as such, how simply watching a review or gameplay of a game is in many way similar and almost as efficient as playing it yourself...
@-DEMISE- you're so full of aggressivity and you lack any sense of respect, its is unfortunatly a waste of time trying to debate with you... pls go spread your negativity elsewhere...
@-DEMISE- i know your name kinda imply it, but trying to make a point by insulting ppl all over the place might not be the most efficient way to go, imho
@VanillaLake there's already so much animosity and misundertanding in this thread, i don't really want to add oil to the fire, but at some point, since its still a place to debate, yeah... i had to intervene and say something...
@TrueWiiMaster «Even with bias, the opinion of someone who played the game will always hold more weight than the opinion of someone who didn't.» So if i buy FF and i ask my father to play it while i watch, do you honestly believe that his opinion on the game is more valid than mines, even tho i've been playing games for 30y and my father barely ever plays VG?! Now i'm not gonna invalidate all the points that you are trying to make, but you sounds rather uninform, like when you confound the action of exploring the metroid universe and the type of game based on exploration that metroid is,... anyway, i'm just saying... i just hope i didn't offend you but what you said so far and how you said it just just make me feel like you don't know much about metroid, so yeah, i had to say something, i'm sorry...
@PanzerNomad nothing, except if you were waiting/craving for a metroid "style" of game for so long and all you got is a funny-looking spin-off... imagine that for any other franchise like mario or zelda, hardcore fans would probably react the same way if not even worst... the fact that the game seems ok is not the issue, its the lack of actual Metroid game that is this real problem for the hardcore fans
i've seen someone played the game for hours on twitch earlier today... the game look decent, but the hardcore fans were right to be outraged, i mean this is as much a metroid game than four-swords was a zelda game... it sure has its lore and characters, but this "isn't" a main series title, and i personnaly think this is where and why we (hardcore metroid fans) have a problem with this game, we are WAY overdue for a true Metroid game, that's all, and i will go as far as to say that's the only reason why ppl are mad/sad about this whole situation... if Nintendo would have announced a Real Metroid Prime or a 2d game like AM2R, ppl would not have been that sour about FedForces, they might have been even enthusiastic about it, but unfortunatly that wasn't the case, and now we have this mess of a situation... besides, if i had a bit more money, i would probably pick this one up anyway after what i've seen on stream so far, reminds me of how much fun i had with four -swords even if at first i wasn't interested one bit... ;D
wow guys... you're still at it?! ô.Ô like ok, Nintendo had to DMCA the project, fortunatly its wasn,t a C&D, and they actually let them finish and release a complete version before taking action... its sad that they didn't embraced the project instead and try to distributed it via the eshop, but what is there still to say after like 2 days of debate??!! haha ;D
@PanurgeJr why should they necessairely punish somebody for putting that much love and effort into something that they could profit greatly out of it instead?
most ppl on both side of the fence here will not deny that Nintendo have the right to protect their IP, and had to do something about AM2R... but what they decided to do and how they did it is rather interesting... like many have pointed out, they could have shut down the project a long time ago while in developpement, like they did in the past with others... but were they aware of it you ask? how could they not, its not a small secret project made away from the light of day... an official blog, many articles over the years, many vids on youtube... if they looked around to see if someone infringed on their IP, Nintendo would have seen all of this... but its the first time it was made available for download, that why they wait to strike... no, many demos have been available throught out the years of dev, and the side project Metroid Confrontation is still up for download even tho the blog have been decimated earlier today... now that we agree that Nintendo protect their IP, have the right to do so, and have been doing so for years... can we also agree that they could have, IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO, they "could" have done something else than just DMCA'd it? couldn't they, even if they had learn about it in the last hour, couldn't they have made an offer or some sort of deal to get their hands on it instead of burying AM2R? seriously?
@-DEMISE- Nintendo had 8 years to stop them, hire them or make a deal with them... but they didn't, that's what breaks my heart,... and if you can't undertand that, nor what it imply, well don't, i couldn't care less about what think tbh...
Nintendo had 8 freaking years to stop them, the project wasn't a secret, it was well known and documented on the official blog... that move from Nintendo's Legal team and PR division is shamefull... why not hiring them, or make a deal to put AM2R on the eshop... No, of course no, and ppl will defend them saying is within their right to protect their IP... yeah sure... being right doesn't make it right tho, imho... You might have broke my lifetime fan heart here Nintendo, you truly are disgusting me right now... -_-
this is a game that looked interesting to me and instead of a price drop to encourage sell, actually got its price get to a ridiculous point where i'm like... yeah right, be greedy, i'll just wait... when it came out i saw it priced at 19.99 and i thought it was too pricy, and now, its 28$(CND) ô.ô its like Kick and Fennick, originally too costly at 16.99, they increased its price to 19.99... greeed man, greed -_- at least Terraria got a 5$ price cut here in canada and its now 40$ instead of 45$, but how much more copies of the game would they have sell if they were not so freaking greedy... in a world with so many options, how can they price their indie titles like this, idontgetit FailFish
i was so eager to finally play this on my WiiU... but the price tag here in Canada is atrocious: 45$... i mean, its not that its not worth it, but for a game i originally paid 2.50$ on steam, i feel robbed... i'm waiting for a price cut or a sale, even tho i'm raging from the inside not being able to play it right now!! ;D
they call that a sale? there's barely 30 titles in sales... and then NL call that "Massive"? Nintendo really have a talent, a gift, to dissapoint me lately... idk why i was hoping for a decent price cut on Metroid Prime Hunter... i'm such an idiot... guess i'll just wait for Terraria's release in 2 days, as planned, to empty my eshop wallet... ;D
@DarkmarkUnited @faint yeah, i still have a hard time to believe that the 3ds couldn't handle snes games, that was pretty much the point behind my joke!! ;D
last time u asked what game we would like to see on VC, my answer was PM Hunters... ;D now, i'm just hoping for good controls as i'm gonna get this day 1 for sure since i couldn't finish the original cuz the controls were breaking my hands!!
damn... i didn't know there was still servers for those games!! since 007GE went down a while back, i haven't even try to play online with wii games...

@PigmaskFan actually, the way copyright laws work, they HAD to do somthing, they had to say «hey look this is our IP», now instead of shuting the project down, could they had embraced it, yeah, sure, they could have, and said «hey this is an impressive tribute, but since its our IP, we can't let you distribute it for free, but MAYBE we could work something out» but that's not what they choose to do... in both cases, it was their right and duty to protect their IP, but being blind to what kind of opportunity that would have been for both side in this story to say YES instead of NO, that's what is simply dissapointing in all of this...
Re: Nintendo of America Issues Takedown Request on AM2R, Ending the Project
Dissapointing... but yeah, that's how Nintendo choose to handle this...
Did they had to take action: Yes.
Could they have handle this differently: Yes.
Do i have any hope they will do what's best for them and the fans in this very situation: No.
Re: Nindies and DLC Included Among New My Nintendo Rewards in Europe
"discount" instead of free dowload and all on games most ppl already own, such a shame, this feel more like a scam than a "rewards" program... -_-
i now have very little hope for the upcoming changes for NOA...
Re: My Nintendo Extends Validity Period for Gold Points
that's one way for Nintendo to admit that there isn't much to spend our coins on, almost nothing besides the Zelda picross, and that wasn't using gold coins... anyway, can't complain, that's actually a good news since i have like 440 gold coins and nothing worth it or that i don't already own to spend them on, and i would probably have been of the ones loosing some at the end of the month without that change, so... lets just hope we get some goodies from the direct or in the near future!! ;D
Re: Out Now: Eight More Games Join the Nintendo Selects Range in North America
i was thinking of getting Lego City: Undercover but then i realise once in the eshop that since i live in canada, those game are still 29.99 instead of 19.99... i mean, its still better than full price, but, idk...
Re: Nintendo of America Unveils Nindies Summer Jam Promotion and a Tasty Sizzle Reel

Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@-DEMISE- oh and if all you need to stop is me letting you have the last word, please, go ahead, be my guess as they say, all i ask is that you stop being agressive and negative towards other users just cuz you don't agree with them... i mean if you're not a child, stop acting like one...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@-DEMISE- i mean, i realise how telling you to stop is not helping, but you seems to suffer from some heavy Angry Managment Issues or something, and if NL is ok with letting you bark at everyone like this w/o consequences, well...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@-DEMISE- you clearly have a problem... and i don't think you realise how out of line you are... pls stop, and take a deep breath
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@DrRandle well i don't disgree with anything you just said, and if you read carefully my 1st comment on this tread, i think i sum it up pretty clearly and how i was myself pretty impressed by what i've seen so far of this spin-off title,... i just, like as always, naively try to explain to ppl who don't understand why fans are being upsets that there are ligitimate reasons to be disapointed... its not a matter of bieng right or wrong, others who think and act differently are not crazy or stupid, if only ppl could try to put themselves in their shoes before misjudging them, anyway...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
wow @-DEMISE- chill out dude, i told you that you are disrespectful cuz you are, its the second time i interact with you on this site and twice you just go all ape on me for no reason, at this point idk what's ur problem, i sincerely, i don't want to know... just go bother someone else and try to be constructive and act with some notion of civism for a change...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@TrueWiiMaster i agree, a metroid rpg would be kinda cool, but also, about my analogy earlier, i was mostly thinking about how we learn by "monkeying", thanks to mirror neurons and as such, how simply watching a review or gameplay of a game is in many way similar and almost as efficient as playing it yourself...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
i'm sorry, i guess i was out of line to tell someone to stop being disrespectful towards other users... and to answer your question @gcunit, yes...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@-DEMISE- you're so full of aggressivity and you lack any sense of respect, its is unfortunatly a waste of time trying to debate with you... pls go spread your negativity elsewhere...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@-DEMISE- i know your name kinda imply it, but trying to make a point by insulting ppl all over the place might not be the most efficient way to go, imho
@VanillaLake there's already so much animosity and misundertanding in this thread, i don't really want to add oil to the fire, but at some point, since its still a place to debate, yeah... i had to intervene and say something...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@TrueWiiMaster «Even with bias, the opinion of someone who played the game will always hold more weight than the opinion of someone who didn't.» So if i buy FF and i ask my father to play it while i watch, do you honestly believe that his opinion on the game is more valid than mines, even tho i've been playing games for 30y and my father barely ever plays VG?!
Now i'm not gonna invalidate all the points that you are trying to make, but you sounds rather uninform, like when you confound the action of exploring the metroid universe and the type of game based on exploration that metroid is,... anyway, i'm just saying... i just hope i didn't offend you but what you said so far and how you said it just just make me feel like you don't know much about metroid, so yeah, i had to say something, i'm sorry...
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
@PanzerNomad nothing, except if you were waiting/craving for a metroid "style" of game for so long and all you got is a funny-looking spin-off... imagine that for any other franchise like mario or zelda, hardcore fans would probably react the same way if not even worst... the fact that the game seems ok is not the issue, its the lack of actual Metroid game that is this real problem for the hardcore fans
Re: Review: Metroid Prime: Federation Force (3DS)
i've seen someone played the game for hours on twitch earlier today... the game look decent, but the hardcore fans were right to be outraged, i mean this is as much a metroid game than four-swords was a zelda game... it sure has its lore and characters, but this "isn't" a main series title, and i personnaly think this is where and why we (hardcore metroid fans) have a problem with this game, we are WAY overdue for a true Metroid game, that's all, and i will go as far as to say that's the only reason why ppl are mad/sad about this whole situation... if Nintendo would have announced a Real Metroid Prime or a 2d game like AM2R, ppl would not have been that sour about FedForces, they might have been even enthusiastic about it, but unfortunatly that wasn't the case, and now we have this mess of a situation... besides, if i had a bit more money, i would probably pick this one up anyway after what i've seen on stream so far, reminds me of how much fun i had with four -swords even if at first i wasn't interested one bit... ;D
Re: Nintendo Issues Takedown Notices for Impressive Fan-Made Metroid II Remake, AM2R
wow guys... you're still at it?! ô.Ô like ok, Nintendo had to DMCA the project, fortunatly its wasn,t a C&D, and they actually let them finish and release a complete version before taking action... its sad that they didn't embraced the project instead and try to distributed it via the eshop, but what is there still to say after like 2 days of debate??!! haha ;D
Re: Nintendo Issues Takedown Notices for Impressive Fan-Made Metroid II Remake, AM2R
@PanurgeJr why should they necessairely punish somebody for putting that much love and effort into something that they could profit greatly out of it instead?
Re: Nintendo Issues Takedown Notices for Impressive Fan-Made Metroid II Remake, AM2R
most ppl on both side of the fence here will not deny that Nintendo have the right to protect their IP, and had to do something about AM2R... but what they decided to do and how they did it is rather interesting...
like many have pointed out, they could have shut down the project a long time ago while in developpement, like they did in the past with others...
but were they aware of it you ask? how could they not, its not a small secret project made away from the light of day... an official blog, many articles over the years, many vids on youtube... if they looked around to see if someone infringed on their IP, Nintendo would have seen all of this...
but its the first time it was made available for download, that why they wait to strike... no, many demos have been available throught out the years of dev, and the side project Metroid Confrontation is still up for download even tho the blog have been decimated earlier today...
now that we agree that Nintendo protect their IP, have the right to do so, and have been doing so for years... can we also agree that they could have, IF THEY REALLY WANTED TO, they "could" have done something else than just DMCA'd it?
couldn't they, even if they had learn about it in the last hour, couldn't they have made an offer or some sort of deal to get their hands on it instead of burying AM2R? seriously?
Re: Nintendo Issues Takedown Notices for Impressive Fan-Made Metroid II Remake, AM2R
@-DEMISE- Nintendo had 8 years to stop them, hire them or make a deal with them... but they didn't, that's what breaks my heart,... and if you can't undertand that, nor what it imply, well don't, i couldn't care less about what think tbh...
Re: Nintendo Issues Takedown Notices for Impressive Fan-Made Metroid II Remake, AM2R
Nintendo had 8 freaking years to stop them, the project wasn't a secret, it was well known and documented on the official blog... that move from Nintendo's Legal team and PR division is shamefull... why not hiring them, or make a deal to put AM2R on the eshop... No, of course no, and ppl will defend them saying is within their right to protect their IP... yeah sure... being right doesn't make it right tho, imho...
You might have broke my lifetime fan heart here Nintendo, you truly are disgusting me right now... -_-
Re: Nintendo Download: 4th August (North America)

Re: Review: Tumblestone (Wii U eShop)
this is a game that looked interesting to me and instead of a price drop to encourage sell, actually got its price get to a ridiculous point where i'm like... yeah right, be greedy, i'll just wait... when it came out i saw it priced at 19.99 and i thought it was too pricy, and now, its 28$(CND) ô.ô its like Kick and Fennick, originally too costly at 16.99, they increased its price to 19.99... greeed man, greed -_- at least Terraria got a 5$ price cut here in canada and its now 40$ instead of 45$, but how much more copies of the game would they have sell if they were not so freaking greedy... in a world with so many options, how can they price their indie titles like this, idontgetit FailFish
Re: Review: Terraria (Wii U eShop / Wii U)
i was so eager to finally play this on my WiiU... but the price tag here in Canada is atrocious: 45$... i mean, its not that its not worth it, but for a game i originally paid 2.50$ on steam, i feel robbed... i'm waiting for a price cut or a sale, even tho i'm raging from the inside not being able to play it right now!! ;D

Re: Nintendo Unveils Massive E3 eShop Sale in North America

guess i'll just wait for Terraria's release in 2 days, as planned, to empty my eshop wallet... ;D
