Supposely there's several way they're thinking of doing it.

Pay to download

Buying games gives you points.

Or I even heard they might have a reward system for games that gives you points.

(Q)_< It better be or Im gonna be pissed...*twitch twitch*


Wait....penis jokes?....Strangely enough I did read someone making penis jokes about it in the sense that "I wouldnt care if they namend it dick" which of course openend a whole can of worms or ill bred jokes.


EDIT: Doing good in games giving you points to buy the old ones?...That would actually be enjoyable.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

And if the name was the only thing wrong with it, it wouldn't be too bad. It's the icing on the cake of bad.

Well, excuse me for thinking that you were only talking about the title. Since, you know, that was the topic at hand.

And no, Knight. I think she's got a beef with the controller. Or maybe it's some other beef. Like the online library being a pay2play library.

Yes, my main beef is with the controller.

So, now the vibrating shaft is called Wii. This can't be an accident.

You... DO know you can get regular controllers for it, right?


And just don't call it Wii... call it the Revolution. You really shouldn't pre-judge...

Mike that's expecting people to be logical when it comes to Nintendo, which just isn't possible.

It isn't right to expect logic from the Big N, but it IS right to expect a lack of obvious perversion.

No I mean logic from people about them. It doesn't matter that Nintendo makes more in profit then EA, Sony's game division and Microsoft's combined, it doesn't matter what Nintendo's handheld market is as strong as ever and even without it they make profit, it doesn't matter that their games are some of the highest rating games every generation, it doesn't matter that more developers are interested in their upcoming consoles then they have for for their consoles for the past 10 years, it doesn't matter that they're trying something new, a new philosophy that has proven to show potiential, it also doesn't matter that their new controller has been praised by all who have played it. It doesn't matter because for whatever small reason Nintendo is doomed to them.

People can be suprised how I am when I'm serious. Most people think I'm too serious.

ANd yet, when you go on the forum you behave like a slightly saner and slightly smarter Newb.

To me, an "adult entertainment" controller given a name that you would expect to see on an "adult entertainment" device, then marketed for children suggests that Nintendo is not even trying anymore.

I keep hearing "new and innovative", but new does not automatically mean good. Sometimes the reason no one has ever done it before is simply because it's stupid. See GCN minidiscs for reference.

See that's your problem, you're not realizing who this is marketed to. Nintendo products are meant to be for everyone, and that is in part the reasoning behind the name (I don't agree with their reasoning), they're trying to make a name that everyone can get, just like their try to make games that almost anyone can enjoy.

The minidisc while I do not support to stop piracy.

Also I'm new and innovative isn't always good it's not always bad either, especially when said innovation isn't being forced on you and you can continue playing the normal way if you want. Just think of the DS.

They said it was to stop piracy, but if you even think about that for a second you'll realize that idea is retarded.

I don't think they're doomed, but I *DO* think the marketing man is a retard.

One of the reasons Sony is doign blu-ray is to combat piracy. Also Gamecube WAS the hardest console to pirate for.

It was the HARDEST but it wasn't particularly hard. The only difference was that you needed someone to burn a minidisk which meant someone had to spend slightly more to do it.

Still, piracy is an issue for alot of companies, Sony for example Blu Ray in truth is mostly pointless.

True, but at least BluRay dosn't actively lower the quality and artificaly shorten the length of the games.
