I'm with Punk Rebel, I like it. It doesn't really mean anything, but thats not really necessary I think. And what's all this about it not even being good English? It's no different from the phrase 'there's no business like showbusiness'.
probably good if watched at 1.5 speed.
Typical Floridian
Prey was legitimately original. I had trouble with liking it at first, but played it any years later and it was alright. Kind of like Doom3-clone.
Agree with all that.
Too many words. Too awkward an arrangement. Nintendo is like Coke, they only need a 2 or 3 word slogan, because they transcend slogans. Something like "Nintendo Plays" or "Your Nintendo" or "You love it" or "Nintendo is Waiting".
Just to be clear: are you talking about the fizzy drink or the drug?
This makes sense on two levels.
I'm very curious about Nintendo's AC and FE mobile games. They stated the apps would be more 'gamey' than Miitomo, but I doubt they'll be fullfledged mobile versions of the portable games. If so Nintendo are eroding the reason dêtre of their dedicated hardware. Anyone care to predict what they'll be?
The Wolf of Animal Crossing - stock market simulator where you trade in turnips with your Miitomo friends. Profits will transfer over to the next AC game on NX. Option to buy Turnips at with real cash at 'stock value'.
The Roost - You run the AC café and attract local boozers à la Viva Piñiata to your pub by experimenting with brewing your own beverages. You can grow your own ingredients, or buy them through in-app purchases.
The Forge - you own a forge in the FE universe and craft and trade equipment and ore. Higher level stuff will require better ore. Which you can wait to attain through luck by trading, or buy with in-app purchases.
Anyone else have some ideas?
The Disney Infinity/Avalanche Studios closing is starting to make more sense today. Apparently, Disney missed its earning target this quarter, and that's the first time its happened in a while. Apparently they only made 12.97 BILLION dollars instead of 13.19 BILLION dollars. So now they look at what divisions are merely profitable instead of sickeningly profitable (like movies, theme parks and ESPN). Juding by the number of Infinity figures I see at the stores, I think it's safe to say the craze is over. I have a feeling there's still some demand, but this is Disney trying to look ahead and knowing that they have already launched Marvel and Star Wars content, there isn't any can't miss properties left and better to put it down now, rather than when it starts to lose money.
Nintendo leaked their new Wii U slogan to me last month:
"Zelda 2017 - Fuck you Vader"
Animal Crossing will be a cash cow if they charge little mictrotransactions for items or furniture. Then Nintendo will rake in so much money they'll realise they've been wasting their money on consoles and handhelds and they'll become a mobile focused developer. So all those fanboy dreams of Nintendo games on Playstation will go up in smoke. I have foreseen it:
Roll the Dice: Why the Nintendoom mongering may spectacularly backfire on gamers
Everybody bitched.
That's a 'New' too... I like it!
Love these colors too though!
Well, he did say "cool designs".
No wonder everyone bitched.

I want that!
N3DS. Incredibly good game!
They almost entirely removed the need for the circle-pad pro. There's no swimming in the game. The c-stick does come in handy for camera control, but the best reason to play on the N3DS is slightly better resolution and textures. Performs better overall!
