Idk why you guys are spelling doom for sega. They're buying assets from thq's asset auction! not going bankrupt themselves!


I never would've guessed 10 years ago that sega would own my 2 favorite strategy titles. But with Rome:total war 2 and Company of heroes 2 coming out this year, They're one of my favorite publishers out there.


So go go sega!

sega has just been being stupid for quite a while
also i take issue that your 'favorite publisher' released Sonic 06

expensive online play.

Since when is $5 a month "expensive"? Even less if you find Xbox Live cards at a discount.

when your already paying for internet and then have to pay again to use it with one specific device is where my problem comes from

Always online, locked out used games and mandatory Kinect. Microsoft can't be that stupid, can they? That's the kind of arrogance you saw from Sony leading into the PS3.

see windows 8 desktop...
their 18 attempts at entering the smartphone market
zune
charging to let your xbox use the internet your ALREADY paying for
yes they are that stupid
and dont get me started on sony

and only those games, were removed from the Virtual Console? I'm not saying that's definitely what's going on, but it's certainly a possibility.

Hardly the only games, 14 games have been removed from the North American Virtual Console.

and all confirmed to be because of licensing crud except dkc

It was just a decision, no contracts or anything. So, I guess I'll have to come up with something else to get for my birthday. Don't really have any games on my mind...

get a ps3 and ps+

then why was dkc removed from the vc a few months back and why did dk64 never appear there in the first place???

DK64 never appeared because part of the game requires you to play JetPac, which is a Rare/Microsoft owned IP. And no one knows why the DKC games were removed, but Rare has no claim over the game.

May I ask how you've managed to read the contracts between Nintendo and Rare? How are you so sure that Rare doesn't have any kind of claim to the game? What other explanation can you come up with for why the Donkey Kong Country games, and only those games, were removed from the Virtual Console? I'm not saying that's definitely what's going on, but it's certainly a possibility.

the timing of the removal right before the wii u launch supports the idea nicely

I'm kindhearted and friendly most of the time on these forums, but there are times when I feel the need to lay down the hammer. Such is the life of a forum moderator.

"it is the policy of nintendo world report to not listen to what super says" -karma is back
yes... really kindhearted and did i say considerate

If you knew the history there you'd understand, but I guess it doesn't look good out of context. It was, at least on some level, a joke. SUPER used to have my job, a long time ago.

the karma thread as a whole needs some explaining

Out of curiosity, can anyone provide details on how much effort Nintendo courting 3rd party developers has actually detracted from them producing their first party titles?

I sincerely don't know, but if it hasn't really impacted their ability to output their own games, what does it hurt for them to seek out 3rd party support for the console?  I know they were mostly ports, but the Wii U's launch would have been a drought if not for the 3rd party support it did receive.  If Rayman Legends for Wii U hadn't been delayed, but still had an announced Xbox 360/PS3 port scheduled for Fall, would it still be considered backstabbing?

And what about Bayonetta 2?  While they certainly may not have great luck courting EA, Activision, or other huge publishers, certainly the smaller devs would be worth seeking.

its more visibly hurt their release schedule
whats coming-out this month....
NOTHING

I understand, and I agree that it's ridiculous they aren't releasing the basically completed Wii U version just so they release all versions of Rayman at the same time, but my theoretical specifically suggested that if they didn't delay the Wii U game.

im answering your first question

The best example of this is Take Two and Rockstar. Nintendo HAS to Grand Theft Auto V on the Wii U.
