@PlywoodStick More important is UHS uses more pins so the card would be in a backwards compatibility mode. (I have one Sansdisk Ultra Mobile card that corrupts all the time if it is used without being in a proper UHS device but is otherwise fine).
@Quorthon It is a political ideology / movement and has nothing to do with women as a whole you can be against it just like you can be against e.g fascism or communism.
@Quorthon You can be anti feminist and not anti female (80% of women don't identify as feminists yet it claims to speak for all women which should be seen as just as insane as me claiming to speak for all men).
@OMC79 Feminism is a political ideology and faulty for similar reasons to communism or fascism. (Authoritarianism).
@Morph Problem is the low standards that mean people who care about this type of nonsense (and not games) can get into positions like this. Even worse is the influence even a few can have. Publishers care about metacritic to the extent that they don't care about 60fps because they think it doesn't affect the score. Even a few marking down for these petty reasons will affect the score hence what games get made.
Looks like junk. If I am going to buy something I want it made properly. It is the kind of thing I would have made as a school project using perspex and off the shelf parts.
@Einherjar I cannot think of any update that has resulted in better performance (I can think of many that have resulted in worse performance). Something becoming slower is making it objectively worse. (Rebooting from a cold boot which I do when my 3DS is in my pocket because in standby it tends to dislodge the cart and have that black screen with white writing now takes ages longer than it used to).
@LordOfGamez Sega's Platform makes perfect sense. (Cabinet looks a bit like the one for Let's Go Jungle! (Same logic could be used as to why Nintendo is promoting MH4U - it is on Nintendo's Platform).
How can a 3DS game be definitive when the previous version also was on the Wii U ? Either that or they don't understand the meaning of the word. (Doing the same as last time would leave the Wii U the best version so by definition this version is not definitive).
@Tiredman Sonic Lost World was just fine. (Better than Captain Toad/NSMBU anyway). Any problems are the fault of the player not the game. Sonic Boom was contracted out. (Sega do seem to get screwed over by developers all the time. Gearbox should have gone bankrupt for Alien Isolation).
I guess we will see what happens. Other people will appear that are willing to do it - the question is whether the guys who won't accept it will make any difference. (Personally any opinion that puts ad revenue above actually showing the games they think are the best is one I am not interested in).
@Porky I don't think they are infrequent and if they do happen there are no proper repair tools. (You can end up with a game that cannot be copied or deleted) and trying to the copy hard locks the system.
@JaxonH My main hope is on Splatoon being one of the best selling Wii U games. (If that does happen then it will send a good message to Nintendo that a great game made from a great idea can be successful).
I am going to get Codename Steam but I am not expecting any great miracles when it comes to sales.
Dunno about Fire Emblem I am (still) enjoying the GBA VC Fire Emblem more than I did Awakening. (I did finish Awakening on hard with 2 or 3 restarts but I feel as if wasn't a clean win. The GBA one it feels like I have won in a fair way).
I might get the Shake Dimension / Sin & Punishment again but the rest I am not interested in doing so. (Unless there is a great profit margin in doing so which could be the case for Kirby).
@DiscoGentleman Basically the entireity of social science is situations like this. http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/20375 - They come up with something they feel should be correct and then mess around with numbers until it looks plausible. That is why they hate evolutionary psychology so much because it uses proper methods as much as possible. The problem at the very top is real. But the women earn less one isn't it doesn't take into account that on average they choose to work less hours. Stuff like say there is two scholarships one for anybody one for only women. First has say 50 people going for it second has 3. If it was about equality then the feminists would want to be treated equally i.e 2 scholarships no special privileges for either men or women.
@Quorthon Far too much 30fps rubbish (i.e nearly all of it) on both of those consoles. TotalXbox actually seemed to get it for a second (Bet they forget conveniently pretty soon though).
@Dogpigfish That statistic is deliberately misleading like nearly all of the rubbish produced by such people. (Most of the time it is debunked when somebody who understands the Maths bothers to but not before it affects government and corporate policy).
There is lots more women who play casual games and there is a few genres (In console / PC gaming) where there are a reasonable proportion of women playing them.
That statistic counts anybody who has ever played a game. (Play Pacman once in the early 80's it counts even if you never touched a game since).
@DiscoGentleman Another thing is how would they treat the reverse situation. i.e a poisonous woman. I suspect the man would be blamed regardless of any other factors.
@AugustusOxy I somewhat agree. Mob rule is not justice in any way shape or form.
@DiscoGentleman Feminism isn't about equal rights not any more. The women who are about that and identify as feminists get incredible amounts of hate from the mainstream feminists. (i.e the ones in the media). If they are about equal rights they should identify as egalitarians. Feminism now is about special privileges for women. As a female going into a male dominated industry you get special privileges (Higher chance of interview and job) the same doesn't apply to a male going into a female dominated industry. Look at the hate from the feminism movement towards http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erin_Pizzey
If this can happen I don't understand why e.g Wayforward / Yacht Club Games had so much trouble. (Unless they are lying and using the profits from the USA release to pay for the ESRB fees).
I hope for more of the buy x amount of recent games get another recent game free type promotions. Thing about those is I would end up with something I wouldn't be willing to buy but if I did happen to buy it then I would buy the next entry.
@GreatPlayer Burning Depths - Trick is use Amy's Speed Mod. Can just play it normally like any other track then.
Reason I stopped playing it is the exploit where you fail a stunt boost and then flip back. (And that there are trainers that work on the latest version - too many Brazilians with unlimited items / boosts).
@Luna-Harmony But with Blu-Ray it is the choice of the company making the content whether to lock it or not. A decent amount is Region AB (Which all apart from Russia / China).
@JaxonH Other alternative is just add English to the Japanese release which for the Vita people are doing. Apparently the Japanese version of the updated Bravely Default release can do that as well.

Re: Nintendo Lists Formally Tested Micro SDHC Cards for the New Nintendo 3DS
It does make a difference because the model numbers are different in the UK.
e.g Presumably these two are the same but the model number is slightly different.

"EA even has the Ronku program that pays YouTubers extra as an incentive to cover their games." That is nothing but a straight up bribe.
