Re: Feature: Inside The Twisted And Abusive Culture Of Yasha Haddaji's Nintendo Russia

@Snow-Dust I disagree with your sentiment...Punishing Nintendo employees worldwide because of one bad actor is wrong. They should handle the situation, but trying to bully Nintendo like that is wrong. This "mob" business gets out of hand too much...A lot of good folks at Nintendo who have kids and families and work their butt off every day. I'll rephrase your question for what it actually is:

"Nintendo, if you don't fire the russia guy, I'm going encourage a mob to take away your ability to provide for your family."

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Service Had A "Good" Launch, Focus Will Now Shift To Boosting Its Appeal

I will not subscribe to the service. You get better support for classic games on the system that BOMBED(WiiU, which I have, love and supported until they announced no metroid). I see no reason to subscribe to the service, not worth the money. Personally I don't like having a subscription service for classic console anyway. At least on my WiiU I'm able to KEEP what I paid for in the VC. No SNES, N64, GameCube coming.....no subscription from me. That simple. Nintendo you blew it, it's not worth the money....even the rate they are releasing NES games is a joke....By the time the system is discontinued it will still have a weak library at this rate. Kinda pissed about it really. What are you doing with the money ninty?

Re: Random: Hollywood Legend John Carpenter Doesn't Think Much Of Nintendo Labo

@FragRed and his remake of The Thing(awesome), Big Trouble In Little China, Halloween 1 2 and a part in three, The Fog, Prince Of Darkness, In The Mouth Of Madness, They Live and more. Carpenter is a legend and his music compositions are awesome! Love the analog stuff: A little obligatory Halloween music/Chariot Of Pumpkins from Mr. Carpenter for the season!

@brunojenso Thanks very much:) No I'm not in the video, that's just the awesome company that I custom ordered it from(awesome folks at TNT amusements), they release videos for their customers before delivery when work is complete....it was delivered to my home. My Atari Tempest(color vector) arcade I did the restore myself however(and it was a LOT of work). Right now my arcades are in my garage, but I'm building a retro arcade in my den...I have to get these heavy muthas up a flight of stairs lol but it will be great when I'm finished(will have a retro console section of the game room with a crt in there too)...but I really want to keep the arcade feel(blacklights, neon and such). Thanks again, sounds like you have your gaming needs covered very well indeed!

@brunojenso It isn't the blur that attracts folks to the crt tvs, it's the phosphor glow....and it in effect tamed the jaggies and gave a "glowing" character to the picture vs. a modern monitor.....Not to mention the latency is WAY better on a crt. I do NOT like crt filters as none of them have replicated the phosphor glow. I don't care about scanlines. NO ONE has gotten crt emulation right. I still play my classic consoles on a dedicated tube tv, and have hi res for newer games.

Re: Poll: Where Do You Stand On DeNA, Smart Device Games, Nintendo 'Membership' And The Nintendo NX?

purpleibby

I think they had to release info on NX to adress fears that they were going Sega with the announcement about dena. The thing that sucks is it hurts enthusiasm for the WiiU. If Nintendo burns WiiU owners prematurely killiing off WiiU with it's current small library of games before it's time I think it will hurt nintendo for a long time with it's fanbase. There are some heavy hitters coming(Zelda, Starfox, X)....but there needs to be a more rounded library before the next system comes, and they don't need to be half-hearted efforts. They better do a direct soon touting some good stuff for WiiU or they will will further squash interest in WiiU and hurt sales of future titles already lined up for the WiiU. We supported them and were patient only to have the rug pulled out from under us. Fix it Ninty.

Re: Poll: Buying Bayonetta 2 - eShop Convenience or Battling for Copies in Stores?

purpleibby

I preordered my copy back in June from Gamestop so I had no problems but when I asked why they didn't have copies of bayo2 on the shelf he said they had sold out of them very quickly lol.....I was like YES! They aslo had a single copy of a beautiful hardback strategy guide book for bayo2 and I just had to have it, beautifully made book! I was so happy to see 2 physical disks for bayo 1 and 2, old news I know but so awesome bayo 1 wasn't a download.

Re: Bayonetta Download Code Included With Retail and eShop Copies of Bayonetta 2

purpleibby

no doubt MajinSoul.......people get a grip....what s wrong with u? Bayo2 on it's own is a day 1 purchase, then you find out it will be a digital for The FREE first so then your not gonna support nintendo or this awesome developer. Yes I too would prefer a physical copy too but that doesn't change anything for me........check yourself. This generation of gamers suck, your really showing your colors.

Re: GamePad High Capacity Battery Now Available in North America

purpleibby

Just placed my order, looking forward to the upgrade thanks nintendo! The price is not bad folks....geez, some folks just gripe about anything. Nintendo is a good company and wouldn't price gouge on something like this so please pull your head out of you donkey.....It's a reasonable price. We're not powering the U pro controller, it's the gamepad. I'm happy ninty made it available for us., they listened and made it available.

Re: Tech Site The Verge Thinks The Wii U's Failure Won't Change Nintendo

purpleibby

Sorry, I just don't agree that wii u is a bad idea......it's a brilliant console, I think people are demanding conformity from nintendo and that's just not gonna happen. It's too early for this bs.....again it's too early!!!! The controller is brilliant, like the controller of the future.....the most advanced of all time yet easy to use and feels great.....I do agree about the consoles graphics capability being enough to compete......ninty has controllers you can add if you want to "dumb down" to what the other guys are stuck with.....but by all comparisons, the gamepad is incredible. They admit it isn't the graphics but say it would be better with a less advanced controller lol?!?!?

Re: Wii U Deluxe Model Gets Official $50 Price Cut in North America

purpleibby

Geez, give nintendo a break...they're listening and trying....they do what folks ask and you kick em' in the sack, no matter what they do you whine.....I bought the deluxe at full price and I don't feel burned and no one should....just the nature of retail markets. I've loved my Wiiu since I bought it. This move by ninty will help us all, and is a great move....anything that increases the sales numbers increases support for the console...u butt-hurt fairweather fans spreading negative stuff on the web are doing just as much to hurt the console than, pachter or flaky third party support. Give em' a break!!!
