First speaking appearance since Super Mario Advance for the two. First FULL sentences of Mouser since Super Show back in '89, first FULL sentences of Wart... at least in English.
@swoose The profit for games is minimal compared to merchandising. Pokémon is just one of those franchises that makes bank on licenses. Think about Snoopy, or Hello Kity, or Winnie the Pooh, or Mickey Mouse... Most of their profits are on merchandising lol.
@HugoGED Funny thing is that Microsoft/Sony release a ton of codes-on-disc. Wouldn't be surprised if some of them are smaller than Super Nintendo games lol.
@SuperEndriu Let's not forget what's outside the box. The Mario Galaxy movie is coming out and stuff like the Pokémon cards are still selling. Nintendo has a lot of backup on them.
Okay... is StarFox even remotely popular in Singapore? I'm not too knowledgable on int'l IP popularities, but I just don't think StarFox is that popular in that region.
@weisske Nintendoes what Steam can't and that's actually get their portable consoles off the shelves. Steam Deck, all these years later, still makes the Wii U look like a best seller with only 6mil sold.

@Diowine Is there a Link equivalent to the "Sad Mario" crappost?
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Drops 11% Following Its Financial Release
@Dr_Lugae Exactly. It's like cleaning a landfill. Sure, thousands of dollars worth of trash would be destroyed, but its for the greater good.

@Solid_Python I hope Microsoft's stock falling is a sign.
Re: Nintendo's Share Price Drops 11% Following Its Financial Release
Investors clearly live on another planet. But hey... anyone remember the whole GameStop thing or Occupy Wall Street?

Re: Switch 2 Black Friday Deals Are A Bit 'Meh', But Here Are The Best We've Seen
Well... I mean, while they weren't as insane as like six months ago, the import taxes are still somewhat present.
Many may also point out the ongoing RAM shortage, but Nintendo has a contract signed with nVidia. They likely wouldn't feel the worst of it.
Re: Feature: The Tightest, Briskest Mario & Luigi Game Turns 20 Today And Deserves More Love
The sad thing about this game is that if it came out today, the L33T H4MM3R BR05 would be "Skibidi Rizzler Hammer Bros." or something.

@NolandC Thanks for basically telling me you don't touch grass.

Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
@Coalescence Exactly. It's not like the 2020 leak. They're probably just looking to leak user info, not freaking 30 year old games

@Pipulitoch Nintendoes what Epstein't.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
@itsapossum Quantum development will basically grind to a halt when the AI bubble bursts.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
In the case of the 72 hour rule, we'd likely see Nintendo make an official statement by 2:18 AM EST tomorrow.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
@Erigen You'd think, but no. It's not GameFreak's servers.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
I think I've heard some mumblings that this is merely the Japanese website source code.
Also, companies legally have to report cyberincidents within 72 hours (3 days).
Also also, Nintendo is known for being quiet as possible.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
@poyo_pie Exactly.
Re: Notorious Group 'Crimson Collective' Claims To Have Hacked Nintendo
@Ravenmaster For whom? Nintendo, the hackers or both?
