@ModdedInkling Honestly this is a good idea. It doesn't block collectors from making a profit and discourages artificially inflating prices at launch time. But enforcing it would be a whole other story.

Why does this article exist 😂😂😂 Good grief, let them develop the game.

How do you call it scalping when the game has been freely available for months with a clear warning that this game will stop being produced. How is that any different from collectors who buy with the hope of the item increasing in value? I know these listings are ridiculous, but there will come a time when it does increase in value and is sold for above the MSRP. We use the term scalper waaaaaay too loosely these days.

Slow news day?

I mean, I enjoy Post Malone, but this was just a weird meshing of cultures. The choice of songs was bizarre and pretty unrelated. I get that he's a fan, but if that's the case, then sing something that fans will enjoy. Just because he's a fan of Pokemon doesn't mean fans of Pokemon are fans of him.

@niner Really? They clearly don't enforce that policy 😂 There are literally hundreds of listings that say "Pre-order" in the title.

Exactly what legal ground does this company have to report people offering preorders of their product?

@Beatrice I was thinking the same thing 😂

This article is very much spot-on. I mean, back in the days of Nintendo Power, they would release info on game and stuff, but I believe those games were MUCH further along in their cycle, like nearly released, and it was more of a "preview" than a hype machine. But today, we have the 24-hr news-feed mentality that wasn't an issue back in the 90's in the gaming world, and so people are addicted to something new and exciting. But I definitely feel you, people move on WAY too fast and don't actually enjoy the good content that's out there. And honestly, I have to detach from news sites to even feel good about enjoying old games. News sites make me feel like I'm missing out on something better constantly, so I try to read some things here and there, but for the most part I don't take part in the hype.

cough Mighty No 9 cough

Here guys, free letters!!!!!

BUY MY STUFF!

I guess on the bright side, this doesn't look as bad as the off center US game cartridge label

I was going to get it until Nintendo did this bullcrap with the pin sets in the US making it almost impossible to get one. Now I don't want to buy the game just out of principal. I got burned on Mario 3D World and the pin sets, so Nintendo is in the dog house for me.

I hope the second is as good as the first. There were some haters but the first movie exceeded my expectations (1) for being a Sonic related thing (2) for being a video game made into a movie. The movie was just genuinely fun. It wasn't an emmy-award winner, but it's a video game movie, it just needs to be fun.

Wow, this is amazing.

These pages are always so helpful......look at all that information....why, we have the.....the title, and the genre and a release date. I'm overwhelmed by all this information. A+++ page guys!

I mean, as weird as it is, he's not wrong.

@FroZtedFlakerZz 😂😂 I was re-reading the article because I thought I missed something after reading that comment

@beazlen1 Yes, because Nintendo has an amazing history of working with fan-made creations 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"The seller says that the products are hand-made and engraved",...... Yes, after he converts the images into vector files and feeds them to an automated engraver 🤦🏻‍♂️ Like anyone believes the dude is manually wittling these out with a knife 😂
But I will say, they look amazing, just a bit pricey.

I enjoyed the movie and thought they did a great job with it. Definitely a kid's movie, but I am a kid at heart 😂

I just don't like the title on these articles because it insinuates it was just the fact that it was a sealed SMB3, but it was the misprint that made it so valuable.

@TheFrenchiestFry You're welcome 😂

@TheFrenchiestFry This game should've had a 20 minute gameplay reveal with a pre-order date and release window by now

They forgot to print the logo completely off-center like the USA cartridge 😂

Better grab them before they sell out in 40 seconds like the USA Pin set 🤦🏻‍♂️

@GigaNibba Right! I never really questioned it, I thought I just misheard.

I definitely understand protecting IP and fighting piracy, but these kind of things always make me concerned about precedents they set. It should not be illegal to write code to exploit a vulnerability, as long as that vulnerability is reported to the owner of respective property. I'm quite sure these guys didn't do that, but the charges don't really enumerate that fact. Also, as some have said, it also sets a bad precedent for the owner of the hardware, because if I want to hack my hardware, that's my business. There needs to be parameters set that define what is acceptable hacking and what is not. Obviously these guys were on the bad extreme end of things, so I'm not saying they should get off. I'm just saying there needs to be parameters defined.

Yeah, graphically speaking, this is not that big of a change, but it is nice to have Mario Sunshine officially on switch, I'm okay with that alone. If want real HD remasters, I'll stick to the emulators.

Wow, comparing this release list with Europe's.......

Wow......dry spell.

What happens if your internet loses connectivity? And then if nothing happens, what stops someone from just rebooting their router?

There was a version of Super Luigi U that didn't require New Super Mario Bros U. Are we sure the download isn't that version?

@manu0 Because you have to pay money to buy games to earn those. So they're more valuable than the free platinum points.

@RupeeClock That's what throw-away accounts are for.

@AlexSora89 whatever you say bruh

@AlexSora89 subtle self-promotion.

@Baker1000 Maybe it'll flip for me because I used to get blues all the time.

@Baker1000 Yeah, I didn't really understand that comment either. I guess he means the random 'blue target' badge you find in the practice catcher that gives you one play as opposed to the 'red target' one that now gives you 3 free plays. But that blue badge always gave you one free play, so I don't see a change there, just with the red badge.

I'm just waiting for the Megaman badges to drop.

How're you gonna write an article complaining about this working for a place that reports on it?

@Mommar And yet you're reading this article.

Glad I sold my Pikmin 3 game I had sealed while it was still worth something. Now that it's $20, I'll probably pick it back up lol. Sad that I dropped full price on OOT3D, Tropical Freeze and some others though....

Surfing Pikachu.

Disclaimer: You will not look as cool as you think you will look in this.

Isn't this the same discussion that happens with every Nintendo main console release? Isn't this the same issue they've had basically since the N64 or Gamecube?

And the best part....they did it without going online and trying to guilt buyers into buying their game! (Reference to this article -> https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/12/sales_for_dementium_remastered_have_been_much_lower_than_expected)

@AlexSora89 Really....news? It was a 3DS Home theme preview. It's a sad day when we consider that news.

Well, at least we can always rely on the negativity of the fans!

I'd love to see what GBA games look like on the GBA player. This mod is crazy expensive, plus I don't want to ship my system to Europe. But that screen output is amazing. They need to do some side-by-side shots of the original output.

edit: oh, looks like you can do it yourself here -> http://www.videogameperfection.com/2015/11/16/hdmi-lands-gamecube/

Definitely want this, but probably going to wait and see if there's a sale on it.

@ikki5 I question both your understanding of the content of this article and your elementary school's judgment.
