Topic: Nintendo Teabagged Once Again....

[Peachylala]

I may own a PS3 Ian, but the (supposed) AAA quality titles do not hold a candle to Nintendo's best. Nintendo's 'casual' games (sans Wii Play) are made by their top development houses and are giving the tender loving care of Nintendo's quality control. Can the competition do the same? Seriously doubtful, but I can always be surprised.

I would call my Dad a casual player who buys a lot of games. I think my parents own close to a dozen games. But even he got tired of it after a while and hasn't bought or played anything for it in possibly close to a year other than an occasional Wii Bowling/Golf match with my sister.

And that is exactly why Nintendo, since the beginning, has been trying to get you to turn on the Wii at least once a day. You think the flashing blue light is a coincidence? No, it's suppose to entice you to at least turn the damn thing on. I forget who said (probably Iwata), but he has made this a central part of his business plan. And despite all the criticism, I think they've done a pretty good job. They setup a shop channel, an internet channel, and the Nintendo channel. They are still rookies compared to some but I think it was a step in the right direction.

Dammit!!! i'm really out of the loop with gaming news!

In another devastating blow to Nintendo's third party relations, Lindsay Lohan has been left off the cover art for MeanGirls DS.

[BlackNMild2k1]

That is LOLworthy

In 2004, Lohan was a rising star in Hollywood, seen as one of her generation's most promising talents. But after several years of poor choices both career and personal, she is now known more for sometimes-bizarre headlines announcing trips to rehab or nightclubs or both. A frazzled-looking Lohan recently took a spill outside a nightclub and last week was spotted leaving a friend's house with a huge puff of white powder shooting from her shoes.

She has released only seven films to mass audiences since 'Mean Girls,' and nothing since the 2008 bomb 'Chapter 27,' which grossed a mere $56,215 according to Box Office Mojo.

More like Chapter 13 amirite guyz!!

why the **** are they making a mean girls DS? What business exec decided it would be a good idea to make a game based off of a 6 year old teenage chic flic? If the movie were new i would still think its stupid, but the tie-in window is long passed. There is a book, but that has a totally different title. STUPIDEST FUCKING IDEA EVER!!! So what company is making this game, because surely they'll be in the game industry death thread.

505 Games, makers of such classic games as My Ballet Studo, Diva Girls: Divas On Ice, Hotel For Dogs, I Did It Mum! (Boy Version), I Did It Mum! (Girl), Picture Perfect Hair Salon, and....Baby and Me Wii

[ThePerm]

they need to drop their us branch before it drags them down, and keep working on naughty bear stuff.

[TJ Spyke]

I don't mind if all that crap gets released. 505 Games is a budget developer, they could probably sell like 10K copies of a game and still make a profit.

I like how Popeater.com assumes Nintendo had a say in not putting Lohan on the cover, the mainstream press usually do not do much fact-checking when it comes to video game related articles (or wrestling articles).

A Mean Girls DS game doesn't seem so strange when you consider:

[NWR_insanolord]

It's not strange because it's based off that movie, a tie-in game wouldn't have been that unusual back when the movie came out. What's strange is that they decided to make a movie-licensed game 4 years after the movie came out for no apparent reason.

[D_Average]

Maybe they thought it would become a cult classic.

I can't figure out what that means, and it isn't listed on Urban Dictionary like "rtfa" was.

I'm with you on that, but it must be pretty good since Zap apologized immediately afterwards.

Okay, well then how about this then:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_of_Oz_%28video_game%29


This game is based on the movie, not the book, btw. It came out in 1993, whereas the movie came out in 1939. So...

[ThePerm]

Wizard of OZ is timeless, i could still watch it...an even stupider fucking idea is if they made a Mean Girls game for Super Nintendo in the year 2058

if they made a Star Wars game in 2058 it would still be an awesome idea. Possibly the Awesomest idea.

**** a game based of Metropolis would be awesome

Well, you have a point.

But if a Mean Girls game came out in 2058 no one would have any idea what its about, because no one would still remember the movie. So one might think it was an original IP or something.
