You don't have to localize or re-certify the electronics if they didn't change - the plastic shell doesn't require those things. They already have all the labor costs associated with making those machines - the only difference would be squishing the guts of an American version into the plastic and shipping it over…

Or you know - offer it as a special edition that can only be ordered for a limited time - and then put the plastic shells on however many ordered - charge an extra 50 bucks for it - and not have any overstock - it becomes a collectable - and they still make a profit - and fans are happy all at the same time. They…

Ahhh - I only play Mario Kart split screen at most so I have not had those issues - and I didn't bother with the NES Remix. I did find the latest Mario to be OMG even in multiplayer (I never imagined any Mario game as a pvp contest - but it quickly becomes that and it's hilariously fun) - I found Pikmin to be…

Yeah but for people who only game on consoles (many) I don't think the exclusives are really what sells the system - I *loved* god of war for instance - it didn't get me to plunk down money for a PS3 - I did get an XBox360 at the time. I currently only have a Wii-U (like you) and if I were to buy another console it…

No but the titles that are out run better on the PS4 - is it really a wonder which one people are going after?

You mean like having to sneak through a strip club where half the woman are naked? Yeah straight stuff is never shoved into a game without any artistic merit... oh wait that's the entire point of the Feminist Frequency series....

It's passive aggressive.

Try a drug called Midrin - it's no longer produced (no patent means no FDA testing means it's not allowed to be manufactured) however if you ask your dr. he can give you a script that a compounding pharmacy can make - prices vary (I currently pay about .50 a pill) - every single person I know that suffers from…

Once you clear away the death threats and the misogyny, the trolling and the hatred, the organised attacks on companies that support female developers as well as the badly thought out and false equivalences, the appeals to truthiness, the manipulative and forced misdirection of intent, the hypocrisy and…

Yeah well the truth is that we don't pay people for creativity - the *market* will - but business and people with MBA's that sit on top have no idea how to account for that.

Now that the PS4 and XBONE both have standard x86(x64) chips in them with more than 4 cores - I expect to see more games built around this advantage. Just like the idea that they have 6-7GB of memory in the consoles - I expect games to take advantage of this (and have 64 bit binaries) - the video memory - I have a…

Shantae and the Pirate's Curse got a release date too :) Oct 24th!

Yes due to a kid breaking their DS - Yes again to myself dropping my 3ds while the headphones were plugged in causing the socket to crack (and thus not work).

I think it helps that outside of warranty you can pay Nintendo 50 bucks and they'll fix any problem including having run the thing through a woodchipper (assuming enough parts are left to verify a serial number). That's cheaper than buying a new unit.

My only real gripe (other than not having it in hand now) is that they didn't move the headphone jack to the top of the unit.

You can buy covers for the circle pad to increase it's friction - the 'ruberized' nubs that are on it can wear out - they aren't that expensive - if you are having problems I'd recommend getting some.

Well they could always go to the (legal) places to pay for oral servicing - or the (legal) bath houses for a 'wash' sans clothes.... or the (not legal) hotel experience - Japan has a very funny relationship with these things that goes way beyond pixelated film.

Every friend of mine has kids that play minecraft - while they will buy the toys - not a single one of them would let their kids spend money *in game* - heck they are all paranoid to even let them use mods.

You haven't heard of people who love each other and still sleep in different beds? After a baby the spark goes away... etc. It amuses me (my wife loves the sims - I am meh) when people play the game (which has never allowed you 100% control over Sim behavior) and then get mad when the little computer people (oh -…

Ok - perhaps not 'perfect' but still the fight in Khan was more like what I'd expect real starship combat that wasn't ambush/surprise to be like, and honestly the hiding, anticipation, suspense, second guessing, and tactical elements have yet to be used in another movie - even though Khan is widely praised. I get the…
