Re: Random: Former Sega President Admits The Mega Drive Was Created To "Beat" Nintendo

@Kolzig "Sega truly was the greatest in the 16-bit era. Nintendo had a fine run with SNES and it's many quality games, but Sega really was the king in that era."

I suppose if you are from Europe you could feel that way, but the reality is the SNES sold 49.1 million units to the genesis/MD's 30.75. And that's just hardware, look at software sales.

Sega got trounced in that era. Blast Processing is a conspiracy.

Re: Report Finds Elementary School Students In Japan Use 3DS As Their Main Music Player

@Osiris11235 I do speak Japanese and I looked at the article this is sourced from. Glancing about it the takeaway I have is that they started with 107 elementary kids and 107 middle school kids among the entire set of people polled and then weeded out kids without a game system, and then weeded out kids that don't listen to music and then asked the few left if they use their 3DS, and the answer was "some do." But the sample size is so tiny at this point it's not even really information anymore. Hahahahaha.

Re: There Will Be No More Drifting Around Tokyo In Unlicensed Mario Karts, As Nintendo Wins Lawsuit

Been a resident of Tokyo for 5 years, I'm glad to see Nintendo win this. The kart company has a bad image with locals, you often see them getting in the way of traffic lights and intersections as they travel in a long line and there are also frequent fender bender with tourists hitting other cars while trying to take selfies while driving. The average citizen may assume this an officially sponsored Nintendo activity and when bad things happen are likely to think poorly of Nintendo for it, despite them having nothing to do with it.
