You can't charge while listening to the music. Nintendo was really ahead of its time with that one.

 

[Kthulhu]

I've frequented Kotaku for years now but lately they really seem to have it out for Nintendo. Even articles they have about good things have to take a jab at Nintendo for any mistakes they've made.

That's called journalism.

The purple box is the quiz. It is its own window. Click on it and scroll the little window down.

I'm on a phone. There is no click. Tapping did nothing. Scrolling scrolls the whole page.

When it loads I see the start button and then it gets pushed beneath the bottom of the purple square.

But it doesn't matter I viewed source and got the direct link to the quiz

Ooh, I got Naming The Follow-Up To The Wii The Wii U. Choice.

 

[Elaugaufein]

I am also Friend Codes on the Switch even after fixing the answer I misclicked.

 

[Common Knowledge]

Or they'd rather have people buy a Switch than give them a much cheaper alternative to playing Nintendo games.

I got 'Naming The Wii Successor The Wii U' which I think is defensible, insofar as they'd want to name the sequel to their biggest console ever something in the same family. It's not their fault people were too stupid to notice it was something different.

Even I was a little confused by the Wii U reveal. The first thing I thought when the name first popped up is that it was a Wii expansion. Reggie repeatedly bringing up "the new controller" didn't help. It wasn't until about halfway through the reveal trailer is when I realized it's a new console, and even then I sought confirmation that it was indeed a new console to be sure. Even the gaming press specifically asked Reggie in an interview afterwards, "this is a new console, correct?"

The Wii U reveal was a complete disaster that goes way beyond being able to just place blame on "stupid people".

I was the same. I saw it live and had no idea what I was looking at.

Why on hell would they do that?

 

[mindsale]

Kotaku must have been reading that Nintendo thread we had going last week regarding the company's most baffling decision.

Oh also I am naming the second Wii, Wii U.

Welcome to Kotaku. I'm reasonably confident this is how they assemble most of their articles.

 

[ShyMel]

I got "Naming The Follow-Up To The Wii The Wii U". Also this quiz reminded me that Nintendo removed the headphone jack from the SP. That really ticked me off as a kid because that meant that I couldn't use my Nintendo Power headphones with it.

 

[Joni]

Lmao

I never even noticed this, mostly because i don't use portable consoles when i'm out (i also never used headphones with portable consoles back then). So Apple was 13 years late?

#Courage. Nintendo was leading.

 

[Beerman462]

I got GBA SP Headphone Jack.

Who else was dumb enough to buy this?

I was headphone jack as well. I still love the SP and never felt the need to use headphones, but that's because I needed a stupid adapter to use them.

To be fair the SP was amazingly small for the time. The cartridge took up the entire front of the bottom half.

I answered everything wrong or horrible (like Pineapple on Pizza) and got:

I found this funnier than I normally would.

Pretty funny.

The options were just cheese, pineapple, nothing but olives or a small for $18 and a pepporchini. Pineapple was the best choice regardless, but those other terrible options made it a no brainer.

 

[aggienader]

I got "Dropping the Headphone jack from the GBA SP" lol

 

[RAWRferal]

Dead here.

Got dropping the headphone jack on the SP.

Result: Friend Codes On The Switch

Friend codes, a 12 digit code that Nintendo used as a method for people to find and friend each other on the Wii and 3DS, have always been clunky and unwieldy. They simply do not make sense in the Year f our lord two thousand and seventeen. While only one person needs to know their friend's code to find each other on the Switch, honestly, that's still bullshit. They took something that always sucked and made it suck slightly less. Congratulations, Nintendo!

I'm laughing WAY TOO HARD at this haha.

 

[FZZ]

Friend Codes on the Switch

damn

I protest that pizza question. The choices were bullshit. No one just gets pineapple on their pizza. It's pineapple and ham, ok? Pineapple and ham. Now you can get just ham but you cannot get just pineapple, because that's just weird.

 

[Drackhorn]

Not sure, so much choice...

i'm a vegetarian so i just get pineapple :/

I just retook it and realized there are F O U R pictures of Rihanna leaving a restaurant with a wine glass. I didn't know this was a thing, but it's hilarious.

 

[MCN]

I am also Friend Codes On The Switch. I don't know what this says about me, all I know is that pineapple on pizza is a crime against humanity, and I hope Kotaku use the data from this quiz to orchestrate a round-up and imprisonment of everyone who chose it.

 

[Instro]

Friend Codes on Switch. This is great.

Did they rip the answers from that GAF thread we had?

I'm Dropping the Headphone Jack On the Game Boy Advance SP

I was thinking the same thing - they stole my thread!.

And just recently, IGN did this article from this thread of mine.

Now Kotaku?

But after seeing it, it's all good. That quiz is funny.

[RaySpencer]

I don't understand why people hate friend codes so much.

They are like phone numbers, you enter them into your phone once, then it doesn't matter anymore. Plus having your account tied to some number, means than multiple people can have the same name, so you don't need to have people like xX-Goku9720-Xx just to have a unique name. It also means if you want to change your name it should be free, since its only really your number that means anything.

It's not a big deal, and there is some really good positives.

 

[BY2K]

You know, sometimes there's a point where you have to tell yourself it's time to stop beating the dead horse.

I mean, every company makes dumb, terrible decisions.

Remember when Sony decided NOT to included a 4K Blu-ray Players on its 4K console?

 

[Oersted]

Wii U name.

What? No "sticking to cartridges on the N64" or "backstabbing Sony over the Philips CD-I"?

They did not backstab Sony over Philipps CD-I.
