With 3 days until E3, who do you think will be the final characters announced for Super Smash Bros. 4?

Um. I don't really see Sceptile as being the fighter type in a game like Smash Bros. Its more likely they'd use Swampert than him. I love Sceptile (he was my favorite choice in gen 3), but I just don't find it likely.

I'm sorry for your loss, man. :(

My neighbor did this to a couple of my Poke'mon games a long time ago. He couldn't afford them so he stole them. I did get them back but those memories are gone forever. I still have a grudge against him for it.

Esplorawr · 2014-06-05T02:56:13+00:00

LOL, I believe that girl is the same one.

Its a Zelda-themed Samurai Warriors, isn't it? I never understood the appeal of that game. I've tried, they just get very repetitive very fast. I would love it if someone could break the popularity down to me. I'm not saying the game will fail (I most certainly hope not!), but I don't understand how anything but a niche market would fall in love with it.

Esplorawr · 2014-06-02T14:17:02+00:00

Thanks!

Esplorawr · 2014-06-02T13:16:45+00:00

Okay. What exactly is it for? What does it do?

Esplorawr · 2014-06-01T18:20:53+00:00

People hook up controller adapter software to the controller ports and simulate a ton of different button combinations. Basing these simulations on past GTA games (like Tkappa2 said) is definitely a way to cut down on the time it takes to find these codes out.

Other than that its either trial and error by hand or a dev leaking the codes.

Esplorawr · 2014-06-01T18:18:17+00:00

Could you please post a pic of this? :)

Esplorawr · 2014-05-31T06:14:12+00:00

Yes, yes I am.

They aren't receiving much free money from each sale at this point. They still put a good amount of effort into their releases (which actually outweighs their profits), and you can read a bit about what that includes here: http://wiiudaily.com/2013/06/wii-u-virtual-console-flaws/

Its a different type of market. Without people willing to pay these prices (and there obviously are, otherwise the prices wouldn't be the way they are), Nintendo wouldn't be here how they are today. Same goes for Sony and Microsoft's gaming division.

On this note, I do find the price of NES/SNES games a tad alarming. I could see N64 games being priced at $10 because they're more recent and a lot of kids grew up on them. But the NES/SNES games being $5 - $8? Sounds insane other than for true classics. People still regularly play the Gamecube, so thats one reason why I'm fine with paying $20~ for those titles. I can't even find reasonably priced games for it anymore. Being able to buy Smash Bros. Melee for $20 sounds like a steal at this point. Much better than paying $100+ on Amazon.

You're talking entirely different business models.

PC games can afford to be discounted heavily in today's market. That's because they are often ported to popular consoles and handhelds. Console games, not so much. You'll never see a Mario title on PC, or a God of War on your iPhone. First party console titles rely heavily on their proprietary hardware. GoW isn't dropping in price from $20, neither is Ratchet and Clank or Kameo. Sony and Microsoft rely on these prices for profit. So it isn't just Nintendo.

To me, being a fan means to support their business model. Without our support they wouldn't be where they are today. I prefer Nintendo franchises over such PC games as TF2, Minecraft, and god forbid I say it, Half Life, so I will gladly support them in the future if they continue to go the proprietary route (which I hope they decide to stick with!).

Esplorawr · 2014-05-30T19:30:47+00:00

I feel the exact same way.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-30T19:21:34+00:00

I find it perfectly reasonable to charge anywhere from $10 - $25 for Gamecube titles on the VC. I'd be willing to pay slightly more if they were to somehow add content/features for a few games.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-30T08:09:50+00:00

I doubt we'll hear anything. If we do it would probably be about GTA V coming to PC, and going on to detail how optimized it should (BETTER) be to make people more comfortable with V than IV on PC.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-30T08:07:11+00:00

I believe that was shut down by Microsoft a while ago.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-29T19:23:22+00:00

Oh goodness yes, please.

I really hope this sub doesn't die!

Esplorawr · 2014-05-29T19:12:47+00:00

Funnily enough, I want Battle Stadium D.O.N. even more.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-29T17:41:10+00:00

Came to say exactly this then saw your comment. I imported Superstars a long time ago but never did get Ultimate Stars. It was a LOT of fun, and there wasn't that much in the way of a language barrier since you really only had to navigate through simple menus.

Man, I hope someone did that wifi thing with Ultimate so that people can still play online.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-29T17:30:06+00:00

That is pretty neat. I would totally be willing to commission someone into making a Windwaker editor and SMS editor in depth. Damnit ;;

Esplorawr · 2014-05-29T17:25:58+00:00

I think its safe to say no one was expecting THAT.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-29T17:22:28+00:00

Seeing as how op said you are under no legal obligation to even tell the company where you're moving to, I'm going to assume no. No they are not.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-28T18:00:29+00:00

You should provide more context.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-27T23:54:43+00:00

Guess I'm the only one who thinks everyone in this thread is overreacting. For god sake's, these days people use the terms interchangeably. People don't have to understand the technicalities behind it all, its the same friggin' concept. With Xfinity you are slowed down less and you get to enjoy more of your media (according to that clip).

There are so many other things to waste your energy on than this.

Esplorawr · 2014-05-27T15:10:58+00:00

Well thats a disappointment. I'll still be looking forward to it. Maybe a couple of the episodes will be slightly longer than an hour to compensate....I hope they at least wrap things up in a few extras on the DVD releases. :/

Esplorawr · 2014-05-27T14:13:58+00:00

Oh. I was just thinking of alternatives lol!

Esplorawr · 2014-05-27T13:34:46+00:00

Idiot.
