Why though? It was sold in Japan as the Family Computer, both in English and Katakana. The katakana character in question is pronounced as “n” on its own or “m” if it preceeds a p.

I bet Nintendo would love to publish one of his games. He would fill in some of the company’s weaknesses. But he’s a huge outlier from their corporate culture and they’d have to give him a big budget while allowing him to operate essentially independently. Basically it’d be a big risk and away from the kind of…

Golfing mishap sounds about on par to me.

Yes!!! It allows you to chose your profile. So I can finally watch shows on it without screwing up my mother’s recommendations. Wii U will now be my preferred machine for watching Netflix in bed.

I always wanted them to make Super Mario Paintball, but now that we have Splatoon I can die happy.
