Animal Crossing Wii U would be nice. How are you going to endure underwhelming console sales for years, yet skip an HD version of the 2nd highest selling 3DS game? And the highest selling game (which I'm sure is Pokemon) for that matter?

Well this sucks, I bought the Toshiba 2TB usb drive that was listed on Nintendo's site and in less than a week the thing dies. Goodbye all my downloads and saves.

bushisms.txt posted:Hopefully the DDP is popular enough that they'll replace it with another loyalty plan, like Iwata announced last year. Remember that your points need to be redeemed by the end of this year, and it takes overnight for points to register, so for al intents and purposes, December 30 is the last day that you can buy something that will give you points. If you buy on December 31, they will register on the website on Jan 1, which will be too late.

And once you've got the points in hand, you have to convert them into credit by March 31.

After playing the W101 demo some more, I have some more questions before I'd consider buying it. Maybe I'm awful, but it seems there is only one attack button? Is there something controlling when I can make a secondary unite-weapon? Do I really have to draw a symbol to reform my dudes every time I take damage? Is that snake-jump move in the demo the dodge move?

Pressing attack will rebuild your unite morph in its smallest size, you do need to redraw larger sizes if they expire. Vor you can buy the part that lets you charge unite morph size by holding attack, which should have been a default move

In the event you lose or break your console, Nintendo customer support can transfer your NNID over to your new device remotely.

Seriously, I know "Waaa waaaa waaaaa Nintendo's account system is terrible, and you're all gonna lose all your games waaa waaa waaaaaaaaaa!!!" is a popular bandwagon to jump on, but at least do a modicum of research first.

Tying digital purchases to a physical piece of hardware is rear end-backwards and something they are going to have to change if they want to be a competitive video game company. Don't be the fanboy that defends Nintendo when someone brings up a real legitimate criticism of them.

Why does someone always leap in to defend this poo poo? Admittedly, it's way better than it used to be but Nintendo hasn't really good job communicating these changes and even with the newer stuff it's still way shittier than what everyone else had and not really something I'm ever sure why some people leap to defend.

But if your original console is stolen or irreparably broken, then you're stuck with calling Nintendo to help out. It's not something I could see minding at all personally, but I can understand most other people being annoyed about it because other console manufacturers have managed not to have this issue.

It does make sense to be a whiny pissbaby when you can't simply log in and redownload if your system is stolen or breaks without calling Nintendo. Yes it's not worse than Hitler, yes Nintendo customer service is generally great, but it's an extra amazingly stupid pointless step in a process that their competition does FAR better.

Yes, I agree, it'd be a nice convenience feature to be able to log in on a friend's Wii U and download my games on there, but that's not a service that Nintendo offers. They have never promised to offer it, it is never implied that that will be the case, and there are no laws or regulations of account systems that require accounts to work that way.

At the very least does this have to come up every other page? I imagine if all the people angry about this on the internet used half of the amount of energy they use to whine about it all the drat time, and used it to send letters/emails to Nintendo, or hell, just spammed Miiverse with this poo poo, they might actually get somewhere on getting this changed. I mean, these are all valid complaints, but we loving get it. We loving get it every other page.

None of these things you're saying here stop it from being bad and stupid. Defending them being ten years behind the rest of the industry with "but they're not legally required to do it!" is especially hilarious, so good job on that one

A competitive marketplace that Nintendo is losing as well as their unhappy owners (the stockholders) say they have to get with the times. Also loving lol on you being so dense that your only defense is that there is no law saying they have to do it.

I barely buy any digital stuff from Nintendo any more because of how bad their account system still is. When the Wii first came out I went whole hog into the Virtual Console due to my love of classic games and such. When my Wii bricked itself years later* I was lucky in that the customer service person looked at my account and basically still did a free replacement+account transfer on it with a new Wii even though it was like four years out of warranty due to the large amount of content I had purchased. When the Wii U was coming out they were talking about improving the system and there have been some improvements but the fact that I can drop or lose my 3DS and be screwed is insane. Especially after the brief but inexcusable transitional period where Wii, DSi and 3DS all that completely separate currencies and accounts. It was especially disappointing because compared to the 360's XBox Live and the PS3's PSN, Nintendo's store was amazing, it also had a good web browser for 2006 with tabs and everything, and you could easily get another friend's Mii/information onto your system just by having them bring their remote over to play a game. So the "online" part of the Wii was actually great when it came out on a superficial surface level. But then when you actually started using it... *Never ever ever ever ever ever play Alien Crush Returns.

And the highest selling game (which I'm sure is Pokemon) for that matter? I just hope we don't get another City Folk. What they added was cool, but... they added barely anything at all. I would still really like to see bigger towns with more varied topography, especially in the way of things like hills and whatnot, as well some options for different kinds of biomes/environments (although I guess it would stop being "Animal Forest" at that point). As long as it isn't just "here's the exact same game with basically one decent-sized change that doesn't do a whole lot, then I'm good.

Kewpuh posted:hey nintendo, fremry here from somethingawful forums, i know youre new and all to the biz so heres some quick pointers if you want to succeed Iwata just admitted that region locking is something they have to end because it doesn't benefit consumers after 30 years of steadfastly putting their fingers in their ears and yelling "La la la la la". The account thing is already something they've started to undo. These are both arcane consumer unfriendly policies that Nintendo got away with for decades because they owned the industry. They don't anymore and they are eating their words and having to fix the bad policies. Nothing I'm saying is anything that Nintendo hasn't already explicitly or implicitly admitted they need to fix.
