Miyamoto seems like he would be the type that wouldn’t want to be involved in the running of a business side of things, as it would detract from him making games. Hopefully they do go with another person with a development background for next CEO, instead of a typical suit.

Nintendo Direct is going to be a lot sadder without him. His humor, his passion. Its all going to be missed.

I do not know if this is current, but I do know they blossom at diffrent times across japan during the spring.

Not trying to be a stick in the mud and I too think this is ridiculous that using anything not licensed by Nintendo will void your N3DS warranty. For those unaware.

hey, it's their (parent's) money.

Try teaching high school and have to put up with phone use - the argument of "hey, they're paying for this education, it's their parents' money/student loan" really doesn't work. To make it worse, some boards (I teach in Canada) have put in restrictions on the ability of the teacher to police electronics use or to…

Thank you! High school and college are about learning how to be an adult. Time to learn the consequences for not paying attention in class.

This is pandemic, not epidemic. A lot of blame gets shifted on to new people in any situation, and kids are new to society. People often hate them for things they do because that's how it's always done. If we don't tackle the issue now though with mature adolescences, it'll just continue more and more.

Well, generally it can be a disturbance unless they are out of sight and being perfectly quiet. Even if they are making no noise, having someone next to you playing a game or furiously typing on their phone is more then enough to distract a neighbor from the lecture. A general blanket policy on devices reduces any…

And I probably wouldn't have been playing with my phone (well, in my day it was laptop) during class. The biggest problem I had back in college was that so many of my professors were monotone, boring as hell drones who didn't do that sort of back-and-forth teaching.

*Parents', teach. Parent's is the possessive of one parent.

This is the correct attitude. As long as you're also not dumbing down the course material or allowing make-ups to the students who fail the test and then whine about not being prepared. I used to be a TA - I was amazed at how students believed "you made the tests too hard" was seen as a valid excuse for doing poorly.

Where i live it's the states money so attendance policies and stuff actually makes sense. Socialism ho!

Agreed, this seems like a much bigger problem for high school. When I was in college, I always thought it was weird when classes had attendance policies or cared when you weren't paying attention, since it's their (or their parents') money to waste. Not the professor's problem (so long as they aren't being disruptive…

it seems more of a facepalm on how they don't really have a clue what to do with the new gaming world rather than outright hate.

I remember exploiting my way in to zul'gurub before it was even announced. That was some hot stuff.

They removed this scene from the original, too:
