nintendo is worse of course because they're based in an extremely repressed culture, but i'm sick of people using that as an excuse
red chamber dream
it's a fucking retarded culture that deserves to be made fun of

lol.

At least Valve is doing it right, can have your name be whatever you want iirc. You can still loose avatar privileges if you upload pictures of penises or whatever, but they only disable your avatar for a week or two.
red chamber dream
yeah see that's because valve gets it

i don't care for practically all of their games, but i love them as a company
red chamber dream
just so fucking tired of everyone trying to dumb shit down or censor content because of "the kids"

WHAT ABOUT THE ADULTS
red chamber dream
the ones who function at proper human potential and can make decisions and earn money to support these companies

who gives a fuck about kids?
red chamber dream
it would be a different thing if nintendo marketed the wii u as a children's toy, but if that's the case then stop trying to pull this "family entertainment" bullshit, and stop trying to get bigtime developers to put their first-person shooters on your machine

It's almost like they don't realize the kids who grew up with mario and sonic are all 19+ now. Or maybe they just really don't care, dunno.
red chamber dream
it's no wonder no one wants to develop crap for the wii, and they're not going to do it for wii u either

hope the thing sinks like the hindenburg and nintendo goes out of business

it's not that they don't care, it's that they don't realize westerners (ie 90% of their audience) does not give a FUCK about their japanese kawaii drivel

it's funny because the PS3 has more kawaii weeaboo games on it than the wii. but yeah.

ehh, I wouldn't mind if they stuck around as a software company. They just need to stop with the consoles.
red chamber dream
they don't realize the wii was nothing more than a fad among older people, none of them are going to run out and buy a wii u

yeah, that's software though, from many different companies that also develop other types of games

i'm not even talking about that though, i'm talking about all the cutesy bullshit like miis and nintendoland
red chamber dream
no one fucking wants to see that shit except babies - so either market it to kids, or make a real console, hire a real pr agency, and start making some money

The whole "mii" thing was pretty entertaining for an hour or two. Just trying to re-create characters using their Mii thing. Beyond that though, yeah I certainly agree, it's just annoying.
red chamber dream
don't get me wrong, i love plenty of japanese games, even what people might call weeaboo ones (catherine was like one of my favorite games of 2011) ... talking more about nintendo's marketing strategy here
red chamber dream
there are very few companies in the world that can set their primary marketing audience as "everyone", and nintendo is not one of them

take the friend code thing, i'll tell you why it sucks:

there are two types of people that might play wii u online: children and adults. you don't need to censor anything for the adults, so they're already out of the picture.

okay, so that leaves the children. there are children whose parents will pay attention to what they're playing, who they're talking to, etc. you don't need to worry about them because their parents are doing a good job!

finally, there's the children whose parents don't give a shit. those children are going to be seeing and doing all kinds of shit on the internet, and since their parents don't care, there's nothing you can do for them.


i don't see where friend codes fit into any of that.
red chamber dream
they do nothing except piss adults (nintendo's main source of income) off

I bet all those people making fun of her feel silly now

Wait people made fun of her? She owned. It was the other idiot Ubisoft brought in that needs to be made fun of.
red chamber dream
but oh wait, friend codes are needed for all the japanese men to protect their kids from sex while they cook and sell their own genitals to cannibals

I wonder if I can ask Bios to mail me one now that he's in glorious Nippon.
red chamber dream

He said he wasn't going to meet up with me :(

Actually I think the kind of don't care, they've been about Japan first pretty much forever. Other markets are just to make a bit more money. Pretty that's the actual reason Metroid had to wait ~8 years after Super to get a sequel, if it was a series that sold in Japan they'd milk it like they do all the others.
