Nintendo Wii U

[Gollgagh]

It was nothing short of absolutely goddamn magical.

Not according to Michael Pachter

Nobody did very well on the DS

[Gollgagh]

He did add a caveat that there are (in his opinion, at least) a "handful games" that did do well.

[Calpis]

That's what's confusing. You can't say "a handful" and then "nobody" directly after that.

[Gollgagh]

Then why are you taking him seriously? He clearly can't be assed to even proofread his own analyses.

[Calpis]

You're right. I just get annoyed that every site posts everything he says.

If you want to play TWEWY without buying the game, the same basic experience can be had if you attempt to text while driving at the same time.

[Mirby]

You're right. I just get annoyed that every site posts everything he says.

I think most sites do it because it is relevant, but I don't know of very many that agree with him. Except maybe extremely biased anti-Nintendo ones since he seems to always go after Ninty.

i can almost see what you're trying to say... but that's a really dumb comparison. one is awesomely tricky/rewarding gameplay that is some of the best on any system, and one is being reckless and putting you in a position to kill people/yourself, with no reward.

[EC2151]

No, unless you have the eyes of a chameleon, that's basically what you'll be doing in a fashion.

[Gollgagh]

I'll admit that in the endgame I almost always used Shiki, since she was the easiest to work with on full manual.

Nah man Beat was by far the best.

You stack his decks just right and you will just reel in the stars.

"Pick it up Phones!"

"I'm there!"

Ah satisfaction.

[Mirby]

Ya know... I like using both Shiki and Joshua.

[Overflow]

My ears are burning.

I have yet to try TWEWY as well, and I haven't seen it or other great games (i.e. 999, Ace Attorney investigations, Chrono Trigger) around for a long time.

I'm super pumped for the Wii U. I just hope they come out with screen protectors on day 1.

Tried out Wii U at NYCC today. NintendoLand (Metroid Blast) and NSMBU. The screen on the Gamepad is gorgeous.

[Mirby]

Oh man, Metroid Blast was pretty fun. I went into morph ball mode and bounced all over the place. XD

and then sniped the ship when it was as far away as it could possibly be

Wii U demo units are starting to appear in Best Buys and GameStop locations around Norse America. Apparently they have Rayman Legends running(odd since it won't be a launch game) and video reels of many launch titles. I guess if you want to get your grubby mitts on the controller for yourself you can look out for a demo unit.

That's a question I had been wondering for a while: how is NintendoLand? Is it a nice way of implementing the gamepad or is it shovelware?

Can someone please debunk these two articles? Next time someone challenges me with them, I want to be armed with the counter-argument.

[The Damned]

Considering that Foxconn is already under various investigations for far worse things, your attempts at counter-arguing these reports likely won't work.

The best you're going to do is pointing out that the same company does the assembly for Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, and many other large companies.

So really, if anyone is at fault, it's everyone. Us for buying these products from these companies, the companies for not doing anything about it, Foxconn for not fixing anything...

And yet, here we are, using the very devices and hardware made by these workers, and all we're doing about it is slightly complaining about how the truth is out.

Yay us.

Well, Foxconn did employ "a small number" of "intern" students that they didn't realize we're under the legal age to work, but if anyone tries to tell you it's Nintendo's fault please remind them that Foxconn doesn't just make Nintendo products; they make appliances for Apple, stuff for Sony and merchandise for Microsoft, among others.

And you can bet this situation is being corrected and addressed by all/most parties involved. Nintendo issued a statement that they're looking into making sure Foxconn is compliant with the laws and their own regulations.

I was a temporary employee of Foxconn 8 years ago working at HP. It wasn't child labor for me, but it was my worst job ever (worse even than when I was at Burger King). The only plus is that's where I met my wife.

Yeah, Nintendo makes sure anyone who manufactures their goods follows strict standards. Foxconn did this without Ninty knowing (it goes against those standards they agreed to).

Also filled out surveys for Paper Mario and Layton 5 (downloadable, just for dat DK).

And I have the big display box for Paper Mario at GameStop held in my name.
