The only problem is that, as Classic Pro Controllers, they can't fully replace a Wii U Pro Controller; a lot of games only support the latter.

They've circumvented that policy before. And between it being a really silly policy when they're not leading the pack, and Phil Spencer already saying that he'd like this game on Xbox, odds are good they will again. It'd hardly be their first needless, anti-consumer restriction to suddenly stop being mandatory.

It's a timed exclusive. We don't know what other platforms it'll come to, but nothing has ruled out Xbox.

I miss disemvowelling.

Walls haven't been a problem. I can go behind the nearest wall and play it. But I go another 40 feet or so, and wall or no wall, the connection craps out. Pretty much just shy of my bed, which is where I really want to play the GBA games.

Fair enough. When I see handheld, the portability is always what first springs to my mind, since really, being able to play a game wherever, whenever is a bigger distinguishing feature of handheld consoles than whether the screen's between your hands or above them. But handheld isn't really a good name for them.

Actually, handheld console games on the Wii U, a home console, were being discussed. And someone correctly pointed out the fact that the gamepad is not a console, handheld or otherwise. It's a controller. It's ability to be held in the hand is as meaningful as an Xbox controller's.

Can you do it without being near the system or TV, though? If so, I'd love to know the secret, because my controller loses its connection to the system halfway across my apartment.

Very large. And the actual Wii U console, like the Wii console, is not DESIGNED to be held in the hand. Though you certainly can.

"Designed to be held in the hand". I can hold my Wii in my hand. Is it a handheld console?

Fuck, that is refreshing. It shouldn't be, and it's upsetting that it is, but it's definitely refreshing.

Sure, but saying someplace is the capital of West Virginia is like saying someplace is the least important area of Botswana. Not specifying the state in Paris, TX or Rome, GA is a much worse offense.

I have! It's very fun. And we definitely agree there.

Well shit, I sure wish you would have ever actually made that argument.

Your entire argument, as stated, is that "[Insert Law] should not exist because [Insert Law] does not prevent [Crime] in 100% of cases". Resources have not been mentioned at all. This is, basically, what is happening:

You're aware that you aren't clear on what a comparison is, right?

You're aware that that logic can be used to defend the legalization of murder, right?

The irony is strong with this one.

I'm mostly with you, but Regular Show really doesn't have a place on that list...

I think part of the problem is that, in all of these stories, the characters appear far more animal than human. Which creates safe distance. In things like this, or Dust, or any other furry stuff, the character designs are 90% human, plus some animal qualities. But never enough to overshadow typical human sexuality.…
