Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.
This is what seals the deal for me as the news companies being in the wrong here.
Yeah, broadcasting to the world that you’re playing a game that hasn’t been released yet isn’t a great idea. Particularly when it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty common knowledge how petty they are even with stuff that’s less flagrant
It doesn’t become useless, it just misses out on a bunch of useful features for the drives.
Still ridiculous, of course
They don’t specify though, and it should be at the content level, not the account level
its far to iphone(esk) in design
It’s far too iPhone-esque in design
“It’s” has the apostrophe because it’s “it” + "is
“too” has two o’s when there’s an excess of something. More stuff = more o’s!
“esque” is uh…just how it’s spelt
iPhone capitalization is just their branding.
I only commented to help with “esque”, but saw other things I could help with. Knowledge is power!
My decent Bluetooth headphones have the option to plug in a headphone cable to use them wired. I use it occasionally so I can reduce audio latency, which can be useful with gaming…and essential with rhythm games.
Because they display (or even host, potentially) content that’s “illegal” in Turkey.
What they should probably be doing is just hiding said content from users in Turkey…and encouraging users in Turkey to use VPNs, lol
Is there a lot of overlap between people who can’t afford a cellphone and are taking flights?
14 isn’t old, it’s not even legal age to buy cigarettes.
I’ll do some weird math.
The first computer game could be argued to have been released in 1950, and the first commercial video game was released in 1971. Let’s call it either 70 or 50 years ago.
14 years is 20~28% of the entire history of video games.
The first feature film came out in 1906; let’s call it 120 years old. So let’s calculate what 20~28% of this history of film is.
20% of 120 years is 24 years, and 28% is 33.6, rounded to 34.
So if you compare them by the “commercial video game vs. feature film” definition, a 14-year old game is like Beauty and the Beast, Hangin’ with the Homeboys, or Showdown in Little Tokyo.
If you want to use the “youngest” ratio, then we can compare Skyrim to films that are just 24 years old, like Shrek, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, or Spy Kids.
I dunno, I think 14 years old is an old game! Haha
Yes, there will be consequences. Things will get better for those businesses!
To clarify, I don’t think the writers did anything wrong. The headline will be misleading because Nintendo’s being somewhat misleading.
I don’t know how much the headline could be improved, if at all.
Nintendo says NS2 GC controller will only “officially” support GC games
Or if they can’t quote “officially”, they could quote “only”. Which could arguably be more clickbaity, but also clue in a casual reader that there’s more to what Nintendo officially says.
It’s somewhat misleading. It’s not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).
I don’t think it’s a bad headline. It’d be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).
The games don’t drop in price, but the consoles do. There’s even a chance the price could go down for the holiday season, even if it’s something miniscule. This launch price is the early adopter tax.

What are you going on about?
The reason I kept showing you the same comment is because you said things like “I’m deeply confused” and asking me what I’m saying.
I’m not even arguing with you. But you seem to be putting a lot of effort into reading an argument into what I’m saying. Is this how you enjoy spending your time on social media? Lol
Why do you keep using words like “accuse” and “guilty”? Lol
Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.
This is what I’m saying. I’m not even sure why you seem to be trying to make this a fight or an argument or something. “Tire you out”? Lol
I’m asking you to clearly formulate what it is that you’re accusing Nintendo of.
For the third time…
Nintendo benefitted financially from piracy and made no efforts to hide the fact that they obtained games through the exact same methods that pirates use.
Which part is unclear to you? Lol
Source, in case you’re unfamiliar with this funny thing they did
What are you confused about?
I don’t understand what your angle is. It feels like you’re really trying to win an argument, except you seem to be the only one arguing.
I’ve been trying to sort out a misunderstanding, and it looks like you’re trying to win something. The misunderstanding is sorted out. So, I guess you win, too?
Unfortunately, I use some software that’s Windows-only, and can’t be bothered to set up a VM or anything
No, I’ve understood this whole time that you’re saying “Nintendo is legally allowed to do this with their own games”.
What I’m saying is “Nintendo benefitted from their game having been pirated because they downloaded and sold the exact version of the game that someone illegally pirated”.
Nintendo didn’t do anything illegal. Someone did something illegal, and Nintendo saved time and effort (and therefore money too) because of the illegal thing that someone did.
I think those films generally fall into the either the “don’t know how to turn it into a movie” or “the fans will buy anything” camps.
Now, gaming movies are getting bigger budgets and such, and probably more involvement from the game companies.
EDIT: Also, the IPs now have way more fans than they did before. Thinking of SMB, at least
