Everything about Nintendo and their hardwares are all shoddy and archaic.

Shok5113d ago

You got your hands on the Wii U?

ChickeyCantor5113d ago

No, but he got a Ph.D. in Magic balls.

@Akuma

Are you really that interested in losing all of your bubbles?

Also say what you will; having your console red ring and die, then having it repaired for $100 and then getting it back weeks later with even more problems, to me, is shoddy and archaic.

fossilfern5113d ago

What? The Nintendo hate on this site is unbelievable. Shoddy hardware? I have had my Super Nintendo for nearly 20 years, still works, have my original N64 from 97, still works, Have my gamecube from 2002, still works. Still have my original DS, Original Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, GBA and they all work.

Where is this shoddy hardware you speak of ?

Hisiru5113d ago

I have an x360 from 2010 and it's not working, got a 3rl in my face.

Sgt_Slaughter5113d ago

Shoddy?!? Is your head up your ass because every single Nintendo console has been made with better quality then some cars believe it or not.

Venoxn4g5113d ago

WarPrincess is that you? :)

TheFirstClassic5113d ago

Not sure who warprincess is, but I think Akuma might be Cowlyn. That user said some of the things this one says, like, I don't want a sales station, I want a playstation. But I dunno.

Akuma-5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

The statement I made about Nintendo is true but the truth always brings out the fanboys.

You can all live in a fantasy world where you believe nintendo products are high tech but in the real world that isn't true. Ever since Sony came on the scene with the first playstation Nintendo have been making shoddy hardware for its time and if it wasn't for Sony we probably would be playing with technology about as powerful as ultra Nintendo.

ronin4life5113d ago

Nintendo pushed the envelope long before Sony entered the scene, and would have continued to do so without them.
Furthermore, seeing as how my ps1 is busted and my ps2 is jacked up but my 64 works just fine, I'm pretty sure Nintendo isn't the one making shoddy hardware.

Akuma-5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

The n64 came out two years after the ps1 and the ps1 is way better than the n64. The n64s greatest asset was its 64bit processor but it meant nothing because to utilize it consumers had to buy a separate piece for the system to play the games that needed it. Ps1s hardware was better in design, power and size potential for games. Nintendo game media components are always inferior to that of playstation which is a contributing factor of why Nintendo systems are inferior to playstation.

Ps2 is better than the Gamecube even though the ps2 launched a year and a half before it. There is a misconception about Gamecube being more powerful but that is mostly fanboy sheep fodder. The Gamecube had one game that looked very good which was resident evil 4 that nes sheep loves to use as example but the ps2 had games which were leaps ahead of it namely gow 2 and gran turismo games. Nintendo launched systems a few times after playstations and their hardwares are always inferior even though Nintendo have time to upgrade parts. Parts get cheaper as time goes on but Nintendo still made inferior hardware

Wii is crap tech-wise when compared to ps3. The ds is inferior tech-wise to the psp . The 3ds is rubbish compared to vita.

Daily I see people praying and crying about how wii u is powerful and they believe it because some developers used vague language about how powerful it is but they avoid saying anything so you can guage the power. These people ignore the other developers that says its powerful but still below the capabilities of a ps3 and xbox in some areas. I don't know what to believe but "nintendos track record" is a strong tool to use to figure around how powerful it may be. Look at the history of Nintendo and the power of its hardwares. The wii u will still be using the flipping wiimotes. I cant wait till e3 so I can laugh at the sheep.

Playstation is the future, they actually release quality exclusive games

ronin4life5113d ago

The game cube WAS stronger than the ps2, and the only one here spouting fanboy crap is you.

Yeah, the PSP's tech really helped it against the ds's far superior library of incredible games. And the same is happening with the 3ds

For ME and many others, the wii has a far better library than the ps3, but as that is up to preference I'm not going to contest that.

And no, Sony is not the only one releasing high quality games, as all of their best games are simply crappier versions of other peoples ideas.(smash bros, mario, and every generic shooter ever are far older and fresher than Sony's often over lauded lineup.)

If the PlayStation of the last decade is the only future, then I will be done with gaming.

mike1up5113d ago (Edited 5113d ago )

@Akuma

Do you really crave attention this much?

You have made it crystal clear that you won't be buying a WiiU. Hell you don't even seem interested, because you obviously don't read the articles.

My only conclusion is that you are a desperate attention seeker.

Do you comment on WiiU articles because you lack the creativity to stand out in the Playstation section?

Oops, there I go again. Sorry, I have a bad habit of asking questions that I already know the answer to.

The world isn't ready for "Nintendo On" yet... I have hopes for Nintendo's online service to be at least decent. I'm sure they will mention something about the Nintendo Network @E3 2012!

Titanz5113d ago

Everything that's been applied to the 3DS, will be incorporated into the Wii U (one way or another). Iwata said that they're getting help sorting out their online service for the Wii U, so chances are -- it'll be awesome. :P

ThePsychoGamer5113d ago

Doubt Nintendo's network will come close to being as good as XBL or PSN

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.

PRIMORDUS40d ago (Edited 40d 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.

0hMyGandhi65d 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.

AuraAbjure65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer66d 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.

-Foxtrot66d 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_Box65d ago (Edited 65d 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

Inverno66d ago

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

Eonjay66d 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.

Inverno64d 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.

Killer2020UK64d 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 🤷‍♂️
