therres a reason we still have nintendo after all these decades.

hint: its because nintendo is good

I refuse to call the Gamecube good because it was a step down from the SNES and n64 in every way possible.

Hell the Wii was better than the Gamecube and that system was handicapped with stupid motion controls and still managed to make a game that was greater than any of the gamecube offerings(Xenoblade).

Hey look I speak from experience.

Even from a technical perspective Nintendo themselves realized this and they had to weld an entire other system onto it in order to make people buy it.

For a long time stores were selling the Zelda Anthology Bonus disc by itself because they had such an overstock of it and nobody was buying the systems. The Price of used and new games for anything on the system was under 10 bucks for the longest time. Like the fire sales they were having with the Gamecube games once the Wii came out were insane and only rivaled the later gamestop Gamecube sale when they were getting rid of the games for 75%-90% off and you get a free game with it as well.

All of these are good answers and all but none of them are Cubivore.

Yes nobody mentions cubivore because I think a large portion of people who own gamecubes never even saw this game let alone own it.

It's the equivalent to Robot Alchemic Drive for the PS2.

Also I had I am having a real good laugh over the amiibo collectors making GBS threads themselves over 3 am pre-orders and store exclusives. A real toy company like Hasbro would never do something so stupid and has actual re-sellers like Big bad Toy Store and it's own online shop that sells entire 1980's collector lines with little to no hassle.

Then the usual Let's Play pantshitters started making GBS threads their pants and sending out rape threats over it because it's censorship and political correctness gone mad and the developers are obviously just bowing down to the threats of the feminazi shadow cabal.

If you mean people like those who dye their hair in rainbow colors I really can't say that their opinions lie within the realm of sanity. Like everything they say is within the realm of madness and when they get angry it's like double thesaurus mad.


Anyways the poem was funny and clever and to just get butthurt to the point where you make open threats to a developer which causes them to remove it and get even more open threats is comedy in itself.

How fast can a german shepard destroy a television if it lunges at a videogame dog?

the answer is the same amount of time it takes to give the bloodmoon beast it's last hit and I miss the ending


and I need a new television now.

i dont even understand what the gently caress this comment says. but i can tell you there are some amiibo that are already "out of print" and will never be restocked, because nintendo is fuckin dumb and thinks the priority is what the toys activate on consoles, rather than "holy poo poo official nintendo figures of characters besides mario"

so you get a bunch of stores piled with five overproduced characters, like mario and DK and pikachu, and then all the figures people actually want are one-offs, leading to pre-orders for a fuckin jigglypuff toy selling out within 2 minutes of going up on amazon

some of these people haven't slept in like 3 days because wave 4 preorders were late going up on amazon

Again still worse than bronies because Hasbro has waves for transformers and all it's toys that have figures that are absent in future waves. And yet they do not have a problem making more money than Nintendo by providing actual toys instead of loving statues. You can go into a store right now and buy pretty much the first few waves of Combiner Wars with no issue.

it's actually kind of amazing how ignorant japanese businessmen are about a lot of things. nintendo is only just now taking baby steps into markets that other companies cornered a decade ago. the internet is still sort of a mystery to them

The internet in Japan is still in it's infancy. They just got pop-up ads a few years ago and geocities are still a thing.

The limited collector's mentality of amiibos has existed in Japan for decades, they just tried to apply it to other countries where this poo poo really doesn't happen anymore. I'm glad that I thoroughly do not give a poo poo about them.

Seriously you want Zelda and Firemblem statues? They have them and they're larger and cheaper than amiibos of all the characters you could ever want.

The reason people can't buy enough of the robo-toys is because major economic power and developed country, Japan, is a backward island nation, with strange natives who have yet to discover the word "business"

You have no idea how backwards japanese-centric businesses are. It's a real thing and it's why so much poo poo is run differently than their American and European branches.

There's a documentary on how KFC came to japan and how it stayed despite a ton of other major players failing. You can't treat a business in japan like you can in America.

backwards isn't racist

We're also talking about a heavily bureaucratic system. Like all this poo poo that everyone is complaining about with amiibos has already been solved by other companies like Takara and Tomy who give the licences out to toher companies to make more product and to have a list of resellers who can supply it to customers.

This poo poo only gets pulled by the Otaku-centric goods which is pretty much what amiibos fall under. They're nerd statues for nerds and Nintendo is treating them the same as majority of other japanese businesses would. Like all that limited edition vocaloid poo poo, it's the exact same thing and pain in the rear end to deal with.

Nintendo sent out a letter explaining that amiibos of your favorite character shall be remade for every series/game release that they appear in and that each amiibo series line will be completely independent from each with their own numbering system.

You can also feel free to purchase the World of Nintendo figures from Jax Pacific which also feature almost all of your favorite characters
