No offense, but I think it time that Nintendo discontinue
the Wii altogether.

RIP

3GenGames5412d ago

Well duh, it's only inevitable. They'll stop producing new Wii's when WiiU comes out.

And that's from the EU only release, they're not releasing the new one here in the USA.

wii u sales must be down and wii must still
i guess they trying to increase wii u sales by doing this

TheFirstClassic5412d ago

Too bad there are a lot of great gamecube games you can get cheap now, but they probably don't want you buy them. They don't make money on used sales and removing this feature would cut down on production costs.

Ewww.... How will I play brawl on my GameCube controller? The GameCube controller is one of the best feeling controllers I have ever used. At least this isn't happening in America yet.

Actually playing with the wii remote and nunchuck is not that bad, in fact (And I never thought I would say this) I actually perfer playing brawl with them, the only button's you need are A,B,C and Z witch are all placed right where my finger's rest.

But I do agree about the GC controller being one of the best feeling controller's ever. :)

The Great Melon5411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

I jump with X and Y. I hate stick jumping. That is partly why I can never get into arcade fighters and don't like the wiimote + nun-chuck for brawl.

K925411d ago (Edited 5411d ago )

You don't need to stick jump with the wii remote and nunchuck, you use the C button. Or if you don't want to use the C button the control's are customizable so you can set it to whatever you want.

but hey, if you don't like using the wii remote and nunchuck for brawl then that's your opinion and I'm not going to try to change it.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi95d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer96d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot96d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box96d ago (Edited 96d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno96d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay96d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno95d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK95d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
