Nintendo Super Thread of General Discussion

My Target broke the street date for Wind Waker HD. I walked in on the Tuesday before release and saw people buying it and that it was on display.

I guess Target and other retailers just stock shelves when they receive shipments. I heard Target receives shipments on Monday and Wednesday so I can see why certain stores would have games early, especially with Friday or Sunday release dates.
 
I'm still undecided on getting DKCTF at release. Right now I'm leaning towards getting it as I have $35 credit at Best Buy. I'm still playing through Returns on 3DS but I bought that as a secondary system and eventually to use during commute to work, so I can play Returns anytime.

Microsoft Should Give XBox One To Nintendo

And get the Brogamers on my Nintendo console, seriously that is my biggest gripe with Live :).. the amount of highly annoying jerks that keep telling me that I'm an "African American Man who is also a confirmed bachelor and who's mother is well known by them intimately for her prowess in the arts of pleasure". Sadly they never say it that eloquent.

And although they are correct about the confirmed bachelor part, I rather enjoy my sexuality jokes the same way I enjoy my gaming. A bit original, with a dash of hilarious, a pinch of flaming and a whole lot of FABULOUS!

That said, I do believe that the article is assuming a lot. MIcrosoft new CEO never said he wanted to get rid of the the Xbox at all, that is mostly Value Act doing their usual framing to the press to pressure the stockholders into giving them their way. This way they can gut the company, claim they improved things, sell their shares with a profit before the company either goes bankrupt or has to go through years of rebuilding. Value Act did so before with Motorola and other investor groups did so with many other proud companies now being nothing more than a footnote on Wikipedia, costing a lot of people their livelihood and making the Romneys of this world a lot richer.

But that is a bit offtopic for this article, and I'm sorry I dived so deep into that mess. I rather not see any company go the way of Motorola, not because I like companies so much, but there are always people working there that really pay the price for the shareholders quick buck.

No.. then Nintendo, who clearly stated that they will do everything in their power before firing people. And actually took paycuts for the higher ups! :D
 
Playing Bravely Default with DKCTF's soundtrack in the background. Ugh, the struggle.
 
Top Wii U games to look forward to this year and beyond:




Most if not all have been talked about before, sow may not be anything new here, but still great to watch.

Screw it, thinking I am going to trade in a game or two to get DKCTF.

SIgh, I should as well, I just do not have the time to justify purchase of another game. Sadly I would really like to play it, it seems absolutely smashing, and that music is just to die for.
 
Will try get the Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze tomorrow, did not get time today.
Was first thinking about buying it from the eshop, but then I saw the size of it 11 GB.

Is that the Australian version or something? Featuring clan of Koalas that are under assault from a vicious army of Samurai from the south pole, led by an Evil Sperm Whale Shogun ruler who wishes to burn down all Eucalyptus trees? :)

If yes... SEND ME A COPY I WANT IT NAO! Why do you Ozzies get all the great stuff ;).

So is "X" kind of a sure thing this year? I just don't know since the game still has a project title.

I'm hoping Nintendo realizes that there's an audience in the US for JRPGs. I think they should consider maybe combining one of their other franchises with the RPG genre. Like Kirby or Donkey Kong. Hell, something with the Miis could be cool as well for a downloadable game. Call it Wii RPG and offer custom dungeons with a dungeon master to place very enemies throughout. Perhaps a custom RPG maker even.

OH dear, has it become an annual thing then? I thought it was just for new Wii U owners....oh well.

All kidding aside I do hope everything is fine and dandy. Have you had any chance to play DKC:TB? If so, what are your experiences until now? I just wish I had more time to justify getting it, work is both a blessing and a curse.

Maybe a new SEGAGAGA, but than with Nintendo in the mix as well? But I suppose that would sully the legacy of the Dreamcast a tad.

I think they realize there is a market but for what ever reason Nintendo consoles dont see many JRPG's ? Now the DS/3DS is a totally different animal.
