Isn't it a little weird that Nintendo gave Mario animation rights to Sony of all studios?

I'd guess there was a bidding process and Sony probably offered a better deal than other studios. Despite the perceived rivalries, they're all out to make money so whatever helps the bottom line I guess.

Sony Pictures probably doesn't give a poo poo what Sony Computer Entertainment does, just like how they don't care that Xbox One uses their Blu-rays.

The big corporations I work with are pretty territorial and contentious even between working groups on the same floor of the same building. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony Pictures isn't paying attention to SCE at all outside of some C-level reports or whatever.

That's not entirely true since Sony is in the middle of a big push for getting their game brands into movies. IIRC, there's something like six of them in development at the moment. But, yeah, Nintendo and Sony Pictures probably don't give a poo poo about that stuff when it comes to making a Mario movie.

My Wii U is supposed to be delivered by UPS today and I've been looking for a deal on the pro controllers, too. I keep coming across stuff like this, which sounds like a good deal, but I'm still weary of getting it.

It said that about 700,000 units had been sold across the US in its first month alone.

mabels big day posted:Not surprising considering Link has the most potential uses in games How many released games support the figures? Link works with Hyrule Warriors, Smash Bros, and Mario Kart, but I'm not sure if I'm forgetting any others. I was thinking of maybe dropping by Best Buy this weekend during the B1G1 40% off + $20 GC promo starting Sunday and grabbing a couple of them.

Captain Toad will also eventually support Amiibos and that upcoming 3DS One Piece game will too. I think there are Tom Nook Amiibos in development so probably Animal Crossing as well.

I think it depends on what you're trying to do. It's fun having a favorite Amiibo in Smash play against you so the choice is a bit harder, but in Mario Kart you only get costumes for your Mii, and in Hyrule Warriors you get a random item that's not specific to the Amiibo you scan. It seems that there's little that each specific Amiibo offers to the games so it doesn't really matter which ones you choose.

There isn't a street date that I'm aware of and Thursday tends to be a big shipping day for retail so I bet there are some stores that are stocking them this morning or this weekend. I'm debating skipping out of work for a bit to go search around.

For what it's worth, the refurbished console I got seems to be brand new. I don't see any tiny surface scratches on either the controller or the console and Nintendoland was shrink-wrapped. I threw the serial into Club Nintendo to see if it had been registered and it looks like I'll be able to link it to my account once the system is done updating.

So, I got the system all updated and Super Mario 3D World is on the home screen. It looks like the complete game because I haven't seen "demo" plastered on the screen or anything. It also looks like there's a digital copy of Nintendoland on the system. In Data Management, Super Mario 3D World is taking up 1,663 MB and Nintendo Land is 3025 MB. What? I still have Nintendo Land in its shrink wrap. Anyone have a digital copy of SM3DW that can verify the size of the game? I was bummed out that I didn't hop on this weekend's $250 deal at Target (after seeing meh black Friday sales), but if this is the full game, then I basically got the deal for $217 after tax.  edit: ^^^ Posted in Coupons Bloodplay it again fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Dec 12, 2014 |

Not just that, but as the standard digital disc format, Sony would put itself in a costly, long, and likely losing lawsuit. There are patent laws that make it so that companies can't price-gouge or refuse a competing company from licensing it's patents in an attempt to cripple the competitor.

Does anyone's gamepad/pro controller joysticks make slight clicking noises when you move them? My fairly new pro controller clicks softly when I move the left stick in any direction and I'm wondering if my furious smashing is already wearing it down.
