Re: Sony Once Again Takes A Leaf From Nintendo's Playbook In Japan

@LazyDaisy Apparently anything you do on these consoles is only Japanese, meaning you can only use Japanese carts, Japanese accounts and Japanese language, and since most games determine their language by the system language it means you're mostly stuck using it only in Japanese.
Also, Japanese accounts are extremely locked compared to other regions as you need a Japanese address to pay with credit card, PayPal, or even purchase gift cards from amazon (saying that from experience), so you also have to pay marked up prices on gift cards from sites like Play Asia. In the long run it is a very bad deal for a non-Japanese user but a very good deal for Japanese that don't care about only buying games in Japan.

OOPS! I just droped a link full of hard facts that the pokemon company is a multi-billion dollar company that has the power to sell you anything they would want you to buy.
Their main series is just another obstacle along the way to make hard-core fans still believe in this stupid brand that resists to evolve for the sake of their cash cow.
A company with this much money and this much ignorance wouldn't care how stupid their old fans think they are, as long as everyone 12 and below know who pikachu is.

Re: Nintendo Finally Opens A Second Official Retail Store

Anyone who says that "Nintendo should've opened in my city the second store" I can say to you a few things:
1.THIS ISN'T NINTENDO JAPAN'S DECISION!!!!!!! This move is a part of tor gaming's (the now official nintendo distributer in israel) decision in order to let people know that Nintendo are here. This has nothing to do with "why not london, seattle, california, or any other city in the world".
2.Just look at the comment by @refael as he did a way better job than me about explaining the whole picture.
3.Again, This isn't Nintendo of japan's thing to decide! Those guys have much more important things to do other than decide where would be the next best location to build an official store. That is absolutely Nintendo of Israel's decision to pull this move stratigicaly and financially.
tl;dr if anyone wants a store in their city, Doug Bowser and Tatsumi Kimishima will not give a single care if you live in London

Re: Nintendo Says the Japanese New 3DS Discontinuation Doesn’t Affect Nintendo of America Territories

I'm happy that I was able to get myself the smaller model and not the xl. Before that one I owned the original 3ds so the bigger screens in combination with the better grip was the perfect choice for me and I don't regret it.
Also the faceplates are awsome and the size is just small enough to put it in my pocket. The only downside I have with it is that the black model is a fingerprint magnet and the white one probably collects dust and dirt super fast. Playing xenoblade on this thing was the best portable gaming expirience I could ever wish for

Re: Talking Point: 3DS Homebrew Development Causes Another Game Takedown as Nintendo Maintains Its Tight Grip

Well there is nothing special about what that happens here, sony did it too with the psp and the vita but unlike nintendo they actually went and fixed the problem, so all the issue with ironfall and the other exploits are totally nintendo's falt for doing nothing but remove the games off the eshop. Their research and development team could easly block the entire scene with a few firmware updates but instead they just sit there and do nothing. And by the way, except for freakyforms and ironfall, all these titles are having much better sales than on the 3ds, games like vvvvvv are probably doing way better sales on steam anyway.
