You gotta calm down dude it's just video games. Smilie

I could respond to each individual part of your post but I think your mind seems pretty set in believing what you want to believe; however I will say this.

Fucking PS360. What a load of shite for wankers and dicks (just gna go finish skyrim quickly bai!)

That's a huge insulting generalisation, I know we're a Nintendo forum but we don't allow people to be insulted based on their views and tastes in consoles, there are many people here who (quite rightly) enjoy those systems, they have a lot to give, so please keep those offensive thoughts to yourself, I'm asking this as a mod.

I'd also like to say that there's (unfortunately) much more to gaming than game quality, there's business, in an increasingly competitive and expensive industry, poor success is not good at all, and that is the crux here. Whether you like western devs or not, they would bring success to the console in western regions, that is a fact, even if you think those games suck you cannot deny that games like CoD, Skyrim, and Madden, bring a lot of success to consoles and gaming as a whole.

it took hindsight for me to be right about the GC, I wasn't so happy with the wii as I was with snes/n64/GC.

Another example, right about the GC? Poor GC, because it didn't do very well at all, it had great games sure, but gosh it didn't get Nintendo much respect at all.

The rest of your post is also pretty ignorant, the Japanese industry has been stagnating, and they're trying to improve sure, but they struggle here and there. Look at Square (a company that I can't see supporting the WiiU anytime soon), they spent the entire generation making a small handful of games, most of which were disappointing, one of which still isn't even bloody finished. They have different development philosophies, they may have good game design but it's not as efficient.

I'm gonna stop here since I doubt you'll agree with me, but even I don't love western devs that much and I can see that Japanese devs are falling behind. Not all of them, just most. Also, poor console success is not a positive thing, I don't know how you can spin that at all. Yeah each and every console will end up with a quality library of games, but that doesn't always mean it's been a success, the company might regret a lot of mistakes they made. If Nintendo screw up and lose money due to lack of success, they won't be able to spend it to make the games you love so much. That's how the biz works, unfortunately.

I AM CALM.

YOU CALM DOWN.

THIS IS VIDEOGAMES.

DONT YOU UNDERSTAND?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHH!


EDIT: OK I read your post. I am set, yes, too old to worry any more whether I am right and too clever to be wrong.

I will always insult them they are idiots.

I find their sluglike existence insulting what about me?

Did you read the bit about me going off to play skyrim?

I have had a great many consoles in my life and played a great many games, right now: I am playing system shock 2 and have most recently completed ni no kuni and am looking to get DD:dark arisen soon. Recently I enjoyed Dark souls very muchly.

As a mod, you are in something of a philosophical position.

I'm a lurker here only coming out every now and then to ejaculate my pomp and bombast when I can't hold it in but I've been reading this website for 10 years.

For example I know that you and linkyshinks currently have a disagreement (I think you're both right).

I've been reading your comments for years now SL and I like to and I will continue. I don't know you but I have come to understand your point of view and I respect it.

But you must stop with all this mod threat business. I don't mean to provoke you or annoy you, it's just, we live in a rapidly changing world where technology is such a big part of life and our traditional mores are not neccessarily going to be able to keep up with the changes technology brings.

As a mod you are in a sort of philosophical conundrum and, for me personally, there is far too much mod censorship on the internet (not here but for example the downranking of comments etc on some websites)

I just think you should be careful using that mod word.

If anyone is genuinely offended by my fanboyism they can eat shit SL, sorry, but that's like refusing to even taste some new food because "oh no it might make a bad taste in my mouth for a few seconds"

It's just pathetic and i don't deal kindly with the kind of adult who cries over a few swearwords or because I disagreed with him and said ninty was good when he likes ps3 on a nintendo forum

(because we are adults here or we have to assume that teenagers on the house computer are fairly mature, mature enough to go on the internet which, personally, I don't think kids should be doing at all)

Freedom of expression is important SL. Few things are as important and especially, here, on the internet, defending my beloved ninty I'm afraid I can do nothing else but express firmly held convictions.

A nintendo site that neutered the firmly held convictions of nintendo fans freely expressing would not be doing it's job.

So be careful with your chastisements. Everyone on the internet is so het up about these fanboy wars but it's just a load of bollocks anyway.

just a bit of fun. For me, for the SDF trolls on eurogamer. If there's fun to be had then everyone should have equal access to it but it seems ninty fanboys are the only ones to get continually dressed down for being silly and immature. It's all silly. no need for serious. And everyones is wrong apart from me.

EDIT 2: hadn't quite finished reading your post. No the jap industry is not stagnating. At all. The only way it could be presented as stagnating is because western gamers aren't buying. But it's their loss I've had more fun with MH than any other game I can think of in the last few years.

Stop going on with this western gaming has won nonsense SL you love japanese games as much as I do. Your words about licking the wests balls sound like obedient brown-nosing from a broken man. Wake up, man, we should be shouting the jap industries praises from the roof tops not bending over and taking microsoft and cliffyfuckingB in the arse. No way.

Don't call me ignorant. No need. I am not ignorant I am very smart, just because I write a load of shit on the internet every now and then does not mean I am not also capable of very mature intellectual discussion.

To take your example: squenix: Dragon Quest.

Nuff said.

The more you accept japan is dead the more japan slips off this mortal coil.

It's not dead:

Ni No Kuni
Monster Hunter
Xenoblade
Dark Souls
Dragons Dogma
Street Fighter 4
Project X zone
Marvel vs Capcom 3
Resident Evil Revelations
Dragon Quest
Bayonetta
Vanquish
MGS:revengeance

Quick list. All great games putting the west to shame (in design not graphics, but yes, in some instances graphics) Just the tip of the iceberg.

Most westerners preaching this japan is dead nonsense have no idea how many of their games are produced in japan.

This is how we ended up with Resi 6. because the west has this idiotic idea in its head that japan is dead. So they try and make resident of duty instead of resident evil.

i don't expect it from you SL I know you a little better than that.

If you think I'm offensive do what you have to do but I think you can see we are of the same kin it would be an act of prematurity given that I can see no upset people around.

what a shame it would be if the weird climate of fear that has grown up around people being silly on the internet ended up censoring a nintedno fan on a nintendo forum expressing a bit of nintendo love.

I HATE PS3 (and i own one!) I HASTE IT HATE IT HATE ITKJYJDGRESXJYTFKUYFUYVYJTCTXHTGYVIUYG

Everyone who has one should die, they should all be gassed.

RAAAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!

P.S there are few things in this world I consider more important than my right to free expression. It's really, really important. We can't censor each other for god's sake what is this the spanish civil war?!

Uhm... is this guy trying to be funny or to get banned?

I think he's drunk. But either way I'm entertained. 

Don't think I could type that much if I was drunk xD

Please calm down KingDom, there's no need to scream in all caps to get a point across. I know people rarely read the rules when they sign up, they just click "I agree" and skip to the next step but... Common sense would tell you that talking rude is not going to get people to agree with you any more than if you talked normally.

He joined C3 in 2004, he's been on this site longer than all of us lol.

SMW's Miiverse page is filled with people posting that they want price cuts for VC games and demand for GC games on VC, it's great. Smilie
I really hope Nintendo listen, if you guys go on Miiverse in the near future I recommend liking those posts for popularity and making your own to show support! Miiverse really has a chance of telling Nintendo what the gamers want, it's worked twice already.

Haha. Agreed.

I'll join in on the  price cut posting, SL. It really is ridiculous. 

Working like a fiend isn't very fun... and surprisingly isn't very fiendish either.

Yes. I have been here longer than you: what a lurker! Weirdo!

I actually came here to post the eternal darkness news but I'm too late.

And yes I can type that much drunk and regularly do. And yes I am trying really, really hard to be funny.

And succeeding.

I am a machine at typing, that all took me like 5 minutes and I refuse to even read it through before posting it, that's a violation of my liberties.

On topic: eternal darkness.

"dreams can come true... blah blah something something" - fleetwood mac (I think).

EDIT: did not know that caps was rule-breaking. Will try to keep it under control but I like it...

EDIT: whether I am funny or not depends if you know what, for example, the spanish civil war is.

If not, and happily, I am pompous and vain. To you.

I like this guy more and more by the minute Smilie. In a "character straight out of Snatch" sort of way

EDIT: But let's get back to the topic please, which is the Wii U. We can discuss random things in the "last post wins" thread.

I have to admit, the web browser on the WiiU is pretty great! I'm sure you have seen people post this, buttttt *posted from my WiiU*

I think this may be faster than the actual web browser on my computer.

*Edit* On certain sites, such as cubed3.

( Edited 05.05.2013 06:06 by Hawk )

It's definitely faster than my phone which actually gives it purpose and Youtube is amazing on it.

Can anyone of you stream HD Youtube on the Wii U? I can't even normally stream 480p, it has to stop and load all the time!

And it's not my internet, because it works just fine on my PC.

1080p sometimes pauses and loads but 720p is fine.

Really? Smilie Smilie Then I don't know what's wrong with my setup.

Do you use wifi or the lan adapter?

I was originally not going to buy Rayman Legends after the delay. After I played the app....My mind has been changed.

PS: Canyarion, I spotted you on Eurogamer!

The actual youtube app is really slow on mine (I use wifi), but if I actually go to youtube in the browser, it works without a hitch. I'm really not sure why that is.

I use Wifi, I think you have to manually input your Wifi settings and then alter the IP address slightly. That's what I did, here's tutorial how to do it:

I'm not sure if it'll fix your problem but mine kept disconnecting and reconnecting and this fixed it.

Haha, hi. Smilie Do you also post as CrystalMushroom there? Because I just searched and found nothing.

I'll try playing with those settings, thanks. I bought a LAN adapter because I don't like wifi... but I'm wondering if maybe the LAN is slower than wifi. o_O

I tried the LAN adapter and it seemed slower to me for some reason which makes no sense but it did.Smilie

Official crowdfunding campaign for "Shadow of the Eternals" is underway.

Also, IGN has an exclusive first look with 9min of gameplay.

Nah, I was just going through some Digital Foundry Wii U comparisons, and I spotted you in the comments. I don't have an account on Eurogamer.

That looks a lot better than I feared it would... but I'm still not trusting them with my money.

Also: the Crytek engine runs on Wii U? Nice.

We've all known that for awhile.

Crytek said that it runs "Beautifully on the Wii U". Hell, they said they had Crysis 3 up and running on the Wii U, however, EA was butthurt over the "Origin" thing and wouldn't publish it. No wonder they've been voted "Worst Company In America" 2 Years in a row.
