Re: U.S. Download Sales Increase, But Physical Games Drop in Popularity

I have nothing against downloading, but oftentimes, the depreciating price of retail games makes them just too good to pass up, whereas Nintendo's download rates are by-and-large STAGNANT.
I also have no problem with paying top dollar for a game at launch, but if I don't have time to play 'said game', then I'll pick it up down the road, usually at a discount.

Re: 18-Rated Content on Wii U eShop Only Accessible for Four Hours a Day

I partially agree. But perhaps they could check your offline settings first. For instance, if your account is listed as 18+, requires a password to log-in, and your system has adequately-set parental controls, then that account should be able to download these type of games whenever they want.

To be honest, these style of games really don't interest me, and. . well, . it's Europe's problem. Either way, I'm unaffected.

Re: Guide: Transferring your Mii to the Wii U

@zipmon Are you sure there isn't a secret button.

. . . and even if you can't send them via a wiimote, can't you just add your emulated Wii to your original Wii's address book, send the miis to a "friend" (using the original Wii's Mii Channel [over the internet]), and then haul them in from the WiiU Mii Channel?

Also, do the emulated Wiis support WiiConnect 24?

Honestly, I don't see what the big deal is about this game. I played through the steam version this summer during my vacation and seemed . . . forgettable to say the least.

Re: Counterfeit Nintendo Games Seller Faces Jail Term

@The_Other_M I'm not quite sure. I think it might have been that the card got warm and I was so fed up with blowing on the useless thing that I thought "let's try this" and then it worked.

On a side note, I pulled out my aforementioned NSMB cart last night, only to find that the center of it had swollen like a battery gone bad, and my save game reformatted.
