TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Putting Content ID Claims on 'Let's Play' and Game Coverage Videos on YouTube

The Nintendo apologists on this site never fail to amaze me. This is the latest in a series of poor moves by Nintendo and the widespread negative publicity is greatly deserved.  I don't know what needs to happen for Nintendo to pull out of this nose dive but I hope it happens soon.

Cool. Stuff that's usually pretty over-priced is now slightly over-priced. Where's my wallet?

TalkBack / Re: Wii U Sells 57K Units in January

« on: February 16, 2013, 09:16:33 AM »

Nintendo will not have a choice but to slash the price. Right now there is nowhere near enough incentive for the average consumer to part with so much money. The Wii U is essentially a PS360 at double the price with software costing more, without the software library and with tech that is already looking dated when compared to the PS4 / Nextbox leaks. The only option Nintendo has it to aim once again for the budget market with unique software. Very tough times ahead for the big N. Not good. The U should have ditched the now toxic Wii brand and come out at least a year sooner.

This game is a lot of fun and it's an excellent business model that they are using on the eshop. Shame there's no online multiplayer. Would love to smoke some of the regs and staffers from here. Anyway, check it out if you haven't already.

Ah, I may owe you an apology. Looks like I messed up with the screen application. Yeah, the screen is top quality and does the job. Rest of the criticism still stands though. Sorry again for being a doofus.

Would have to strongly disagree with the reviewer. The tabs on the protector are so firmly attached that they need to be removed with scissors rendering them redundant, the screen itself is flawed, the cloth is of poor quality and leaves blue residue afrer use, the stylus is an unnecessary redundance and it's way too expensive. 2/10. Ignore the review and avoid the product. 5 protectors can be bought from ebay for 25% of the cost.

Who is crazy enough to pay these high prices? In the UK digital copies are being sold for about 15% more than hard copies. It's insane.

I love Nintendo and I have a collection that would dwarf anybody's here to prove it but I'm not gonna follow you guys and blindly drink the Kool aid. If Nintendo foul up, I'm gonna call them on it.

This is so sloppy and lazy that it's embarrassing. How did Nintendo get something so basic so wrong? No wonder Japan is in decline. They just don't trail-blaze any more.

Too complicated? It's this kind of attitude which is the cause of Japan falling back and companies like Apple are soaring.

DQ VII is an amazing game. I always thought it would be a perfect model for DLC with the possibility for new puzzle shrines.

I hope it's true and if so I hope that they tweak it a bit so that the shards aren't in completely random places with no direction that renders the game unplayable without a walkthrough.

« on: October 03, 2012, 04:00:43 AM »

I've been boycotting the e-Shop for a while now and will continue to do so because Nintendo charges way, way too much for their online products. They're missing out on a crap ton of money by pricing themselves out of competition. Nintendo, you continue to over-charge and I'll continue to spend my money elsewhere and build up loyalty with other suppliers.

Thanks for the episode guys. It's always fascinating to hear from people who actually live in Japan.


special praise to Minoru from bringing that extra perspective on the Land of the rising sun.


Great to have that Capcom guy back on the show again.


Superb song choices particularly DKC Boss music.


Not a major concern really, but given the choice I'd rather shorter episodes that appeared more frequently but I don't want to sound ungrateful.


Oh, and more DQ X talk please!


Thanks again guys, already looking forward to the next one.
