All we really need is more activity and more members. 

I just posted a topic trying to get more people interested in the forum.

I suggest we hold a recruitment drive as to increase the number of members our little forum has. Since all the admin and mod stuff are best left to the people appointed, I suggest that all of us contribute to the well-being of the forum before inviting new people.

1. Post more topics.
2. Make a layout overhaul or add the chatbox back (I don't know. I'll leave this to the mods)
3. Recruit more members
4. Profit?

They're not pessimists, they're just Sony fangirls.

Dis WILL luk gud soo good on PS4 Nintendo dissapointing. I luv 3Ds tho. oh yah, wii u sux

We need less pessimists like Syks-01 or Djlewe. 

Meh, I'm still going with PCTendo this gen. I'm not getting the PS4 due to the simple fact that the Wiiers who are my contemporaries a.k.a whiny xbro kids are all migrating to Sony and basically turning it into this gen's 360.  

From my short stay here in WUF, my observation is that new members leave after the first few days or don't post after they register. 1 out of 10 become regular posters here. I dunno why but it kinda bothers me.

The logic: people want games on the Wii U but when a company wants to put a multiplat game on the U with unique features, you don't buy it. 

Wii welcome U.

Well, X, the sequel to the greatest RPG of the 7th Gen is coming. So is Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem if you're a fan of the SMT: Persona, SMT main, SMT if..., SMT iMAGINE or Fire Emblem. Monster Hunter is a great ARPG too. Deus Ex: Director's Cut is coming too along with the Adventure Time: ETDBIDK which is a Diablo-like dungeon crawler. As well as the truckload of EShop RPG's and ARPG's and the retro Virtual Console RPG's like Earthbound and Breath of Fire. If we're lucky, Pokemon U might come too.

Oh, and welcome to the Wii U Forums!

GabeN is crying right now... /r/pcmasterrace would love to have a word with you.

Today we feast my bretheren! For we have defeated (for now) the combined might of the PS3 Army and The Live Tribe.

Nah, it's pretty good anyways unless you want to do some serious overclocking or modding.

If you are really wondering, and you want actual real world information, google the skull girls character creation 'too much money' incident, they gave an excellent breakdown of where that money goes, this should be pretty similar (im assuming mighty no 9 is also hand drawn spritework, if its say, '2.5d' instead, it should still make sense, it just wont line up item for item like it would if they were both the same exact style) This is actually pretty... frugal.... Bordering on too cheap honestly. They must be confident with each other and their management/content creation pipelines.



Anyways.... So, is there a stretchgoal for mighty no 9 legends III Inafune?

Lots of stretch promises. 2.5 million gets a port to all home consoles.

Most medical items are ok  but Cookie Clicker free online generic ones are the best. Watch Wolverine free online It shows that 75% of hospitals use these.

Never be like SammyClassicSonicFan.

BioShock. All three of them.

I didn't like 2 though.

DrasticSwipe aka TriplePower here on the forums is one of the best video editors we have on here. You could visit his channel and take an example from him.

Humble Paradox Weekly Bundle is up. humblebundle.com then go to weekly sale since the main bundle is a movie bundle now.

The Paradox bundle includes 5 games from Paradox's library like Mount and Blade and + 2 more if you pay more than 5 dollars. The extra 2 are Crusader Kings 2 (awesome) and one of their other games. 

If I were you, I should have gotten the Origin Bundle last week too.

A message I sent to the mods a while ago:

If I may, I notice that all the posts that this Ms.(?) Beenle has made all link to eachbyte.com. After doing some easy lookups, I found that one of the sites she linked to was wiiuandprotectorsineachbytecases.blogspot.com/.


After this, I thought it was just a regular spam site for people who buy too many accessories but wait. The author of this advertising blog was a certain Ms.Liu Beenle as linked by the blog itself: https://plus.google....93581676/posts.


So I have come to the conclusion that Beenle is an employee or the owner of eachbyte.com and is advertising (to little effect) on the forums which is a violation I guess?
 

Why don't you just...I dunno...keep the gamepad out of the floor. Put it on a desk or table or something.

Because... I dunno... She wants to sell something from eachbyte to someone.

Wait a minute. Beenle, why do all your posts always link to eachbyte or some shady accessory site? 

But still 3Dude. Would Nintendo be in the place they are today without him? They would still be producing Hanafuda Cards (fun game nonetheless) and Atari would still be in the business along with SEGA and Microsoft (XBox was always bound to happen in some way) with their DreamCast 4 and MSXbox 360.

I mean, the man is a total psycho but would Nintendo be the Nintendo we know if he never came to be?

Dude is most likely a total sociopath. Must have been terrifying to work with him. I usually say it in a joking manner, that yamauchi sent ninjas after Gunpei.... But in the back of my head Im never really sure Gunpei's death was an accident...


Although the wired 'interview' 'pride' was actually a parody, which mixed in Some real quotes from Yamauchi, with a satirized script. He never told ballmer to suck his yellow balls, that part was satire.

The crazy thing is, he was so cartoonishly villain that its actually hard to distinguish some of the satire from the real thing.

Scary, scary man. Made a lot of enemies for nintendo.

I just read his interview on WIRED and he sounds so racist. So Japanese Elitist. He acted like the Japanese won WW2 literally. He called RPG's a "loser's genre". He told Steve Ballmer to suck his turkey (props to that one though). Though he did make Nintendo to what it is today, didn't he?

 

How would you define it?
The Japanese business mentality? 
Japanese businessmen are tigers, whereas Western businessmen are like Yogi Bear, fat and complacent. 
They are happy stealing picnic baskets (laughs). 
You see, the Japanese business mentality is a direct extrapolation of the general Japanese mentality. 
Before World War 2, we were in a blind alley because of the Americans; we couldn't trade, we couldn't buy fuel and what did we do? 
We attacked them! We said we were not going to play by their rules. 
We recognized the danger and faced it bravely. 
We lost, but what a way to lose! 
They needed to harness the power of the atom to defeat us. 
We lost everything and rose again from the radioactive ashes of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. 
We could have done like the Italians and subjugate ourselves, we could have done like the French and surrender, but we bounced back! 
We are Japanese! While the post-war generation of American had everything fed to them on silver spoons and watched "I Love Lucy", we were fighting and scratching our way back to the top, the righteous place of the Japanese people. 
There's this old American saying that applies to Japan: there's no such thing as a free lunch. 
Well, there obviously is in America, otherwise, they wouldn't be so goddamn fat (laughs). 
And now that generation of Americans is the one ruling the country, they are the business leaders. 
They think that everything will work out for them just because it's them! They don't need intelligence, or hard work, or even luck, they think everything will go their way because they are Americans! 
I mean, just look at their president. 
And they show contempt towards other cultures, even those superior to their own like the Japanese. 
I could see this for the hundredth time recently when Microsoft made an offer to buy Nintendo.

Would you care to elaborate?
Economically, it was a very tempting offer. 
I won't say how much they offered for how many shares, but in all my years in the industry, I had never heard of a quantity remotely like that one. 
And I've been in the industry all my life. 
It was going to set the Nikkei[The Japanese Stock Exchage Service - Ed.] aflame! 
["Microsoft" Exec]Steve Ballmer himself came to Kyoto. 
The Americans were confident we would accept as we were not in our strongest position ever. 
GameCube had not done as well as we expected (but well enough, we have no losses) and the shadow of PSP lurked in the horizon. 
If there ever was a time to make a deal, it was then. 
They were so smug, you could see the contempt in their face. 
Some of the Board Members were ready to sell. 
But I saw right through the Americans. 
Agreeing to the deal would not have been just a business matter, it would have been a defeat comparable to the World War 2. 
Well, I saw that horrible could when I was younger and said "Never again." 
I still hold executive power and blocked the deal. I gave a short speech right then in the meeting room about Japanese values and identity, but the translator barely passed a part of it. 
I saw some American laughing. 
They were not taking us seriously. 
I got angry and was a bit rude, and I regret it now.

What did you say?
I said, well, I'd rather not repeat it. Alright, I told them to lick my balls. The translators looked shocked and obviously decided to offer a loose, not offensive translation. 
This made me angry. 
I wanted to offend them, to show them something about Japanese Pride. Please, write Pride with a capital "P" when you transcribe this, thank you. Pride. 
So I saw that the translators were unreliable and was going to kick them out when I notice Ballmer smiling and mouthing the word "yellow" to his assistant. 
They thought this was a joke. 
They were probably saying, look at the old tiny yellow man, he's angry now. 
Well, that did it. 
I stood on my chair and put my hands around my mouth to amplify my voice, see, and said, in English, slowly and forming the words very carefully -- HEY, BALLMER, WHY DON'T YOU SUCK MY TINY YELLOW BALLS?

And that was the end of the negotiations?
Yes. 
The Americans left disgusted and making a ruckus, they were so scandalised, see, it was almost as if I had shown a nipple. 
A tiny yellow nipple (laughs). 
A Japanese company would have taken that as a minor setback, a challenge. 
And that mentality, along with our flexible banking system and closely protected market is what allowed us to take America by storm during that glorious decade, the eighties. 
I mean, we bought their goddamn country! 
Rockefeller Centre, Pebble Beach, Downtown L.A., all their landmarks, you name it, we bought it! 
Just like we took over the videogame industry. 
Yellow power, eh? 
And they tried to bounce back but they were not strong enough. 
Just not strong enough. 
I mean, look at Atari. 
Look at the Jaguar! (laughs). 
And look at Microsoft. 
They will fail miserably, you cannot break even when you lose money with every single machine you sell. 
Xbox and Xbox 2 will destroy the company, mark my words.

What about Sony?
Sony is different. 
Sony is Japanese, like us. 
They have the same mentality, in principle. 
In principle, because they have been corrupted by the Western ethos. They don't care about loyalty, or about advancing the industry, they only care about profit. 
They are always hungry, like Americans! (laughs). 
And the sad thing is that they appear to be successful. 
They are completely devoid of originality or courage, they only go where other companies have gone before. 
The one bold step they ever took was releasing the PlayStation, which they did after a rejection on our part. 
Look at the PSP [Sony's new handheld device], for instance. 
So they want to break into the handheld market. 
They didn't create it, or improve it, they just want a piece of the action now that the real money is there. 
And they release the PSP. 
And what is its biggest asset? 
It has a larger screen. 
How do you control the games? 
With the Dual Shock's [Playstation's controller] stick. 
How original.

So you are not a fan of the PSP?
The PSP is probably the worst concept for a handheld device I've ever seen. 
And I should know, I released the Virtual Boy [Nintendo's failed Virtual Reality system] (laughs). 
First of all, look at the game media. 
They come in discs for God's sake! 
Discs load. 
A kid will get in the bus on his way to school and insert a disc on the machine. 
By the time the game has loaded the boy has arrived to his school. 
If he wants to play during recess he will have to leave the game loading during class. 
And that's not what handheld gaming is about. 
Handheld gaming is about gaming on the go, about instant thrills. 
And that's why a handheld console must be small and light, it has to be carried everywhere. 
Look at the size and weight of the PSP, you could kill a man with it. 
Look at its shape. 
It's so threatening. 
It's shaped like a giant pegasus generator. 
But the main problem the PSP has is its battery life. 
Most of the power is drained during the loading process. 
By the time you start to enjoy yourself, the battery will run out. 
And the batteries are such low quality! 
They break very often and need constant replacements. 
The PSP has very expensive components, which I guess can eventually work out to Sony's advantage. 
I think that's how they will probably make a profit, by selling battery replacements.

 

It's just that most of the gaming community portrays him as a symbol of Nintendo excellence. But seriously, was he really that evil. I mean, it's just business.

EDIT: Wow. He really was evil wasn't he? A necessary evil for the time, but unneeded after those few years.
