What

 

[Sadist]

But it worked.

I still remember the days of this game taking on GTA IV. Good times.

 

[BGBW]

Well, you had a good run.

Yeah real good. Mods are even deleting his post and changed his name.

[ShockingAlberto]

Actually weirdest?

Standing up to Universal over Donkey Kong was fucking crazy. Like, any lawyer in the world would have told them to settle and they only won by Universal being dumb as shit.

Keeping Yokoi on the payroll while he worked for other companies, making it likely he was telling Nintendo about the hardware he was working on.

Iwata announcing that Gamecube production was halting temporarily. It was a pointless move and basically killed investor and third party confidence in the system for good (though I've heard more than one person suggest he was trying to Bernie Stolar the system).

 

[Hanmik]

Yeah real good. Mods are even deleting his post and changed his name.

that is the first time I have seen that happen here.. Nintendo can make people do the strangest things..

 

[Bluth54]

In a perfect world we would have something like that for Left 4 Dead.

 

[Drkirby]

Yeah real good. Mods are even deleting his post and changed his name.

Whats his new name?

....huh. man you're full of interesting info.
where else did Yokoi work, and i don't even remember the halting - and Stolar'ing the system is pulling the plug early, yeah?

I'm not sure what you are referencing.
Could you explain?

Problem wasn't Iwata announcing it but that they had to stop the production chain bacause GC missed the yearly target by half.

I mean look at that shit.

Those glowing red eyes are creeping me out, I guess all those headaches it caused were actually because it was stealing your soul.

 

[Jake Tower]

 

[Medalion]

Everything Nintendo does is weird.

 

[BGBW]

Whats his new name?

Well what I saw before the deletion of his posts was his name without the symbols. Pretty sure his whole existence has been erased because looking through his post history is impossible:

[GrotesqueBeauty]

How about giving Sakamoto a sizable budget and a free hand to develop his first full fledged 3D console game, paired with.. Team Ninja? Such a weird mishmash of influences on that project. Don't get me wrong, Other M has its moments in spite of everything, but the iffy parts are so bad it's kind of a wonder no one stepped in to make a few course corrections or talk some sense into Sakamoto during development.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

The Nintendo horse bag.

YES!

Oh yeah. Now that's the very definition of wierd.

 

[mclem]

The Wii. Completely threw away the estabilished concept of console generations, and creamed the competition with it. Very cool move.

I've been sitting here trying to figure out what's so offensive about this post, post #23. Took ages before it dawned on me.

First time I've seen a poster just be *eradicated*, rather than simply banned.

[JaseC]

Not releasing Metroid Dread.

 

[seady]

LOL that's awesome.

 

[FreeMufasa]

The hell? Why is he so pissed off in the NA versions?

 

[Slime]

Releasing Metroid: Other M.

 

[NoirVisage]

The hell? Why is he so pissed off in the NA versions?

red meat most likely.

 

[AdventureRacing]

LOL that's awesome.

Yep. I especially like in the amazing mirror they take the red kirbys hat and sword and give it to the actual kirby.

 

[Christine]

Yep. I especially like in the amazing mirror they take the red kirbys hat and sword and give it to the actual kirby.

They're swapped entirely and recolored.

KIRBY IS AN IMPOSTER

 

[Terrell]

Except a functional online service

Satellaview is telling you to STFU, troll.

But speaking of.... having a 1st-party online service in the 16-bit era, even if it was only in Japan, was just..... BIZARRE.

 

[YoungHav]

abandoning their Playstation.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Putting (Laughs) in the Iwata Asks interviews. (Well, any official interview). I find that weird.

Spoiler

(laughs)

 

[NoirVisage]

that says a lot about their assessment of the western psyche.

 

[Terrell]

Western gamers said enough about their psyche when they accuse(d?) Kirby of being teh kiddeh and stuff. Nintendo just fell into line with our demands that way.

 

[zoukka]

that says a lot about their assessment of the western psyche.

Rest assured, it's a product of focus group testing.

This recent trailer to Kiki Trick: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGM8oyTR-sI

My mind is full of fuck.

Love hotels?

I've always wondered what those were like. I mean, I'm sure they must have been pretty damn great, as far as love hotels go. Top tier stuff.

 

[Electivirus]

Goodbye forever, erections.

 

[Gustav]

The hell? Why is he so pissed off in the NA versions?

Because Americans love their shit violent!

 

[daviyoung]

I'm still laughing my ass off.

Yeh. That's horrible.

Sega sort of did the same thing 5 years before Nintendo with the Sega Meganet. They even had downloadable games and online multiplayer in 1990.

 

[DarkCronos]

couldn't get past the first level. this thing is unplayable.

 

[cacildo]

It got some good reviews, if i remember it correctly. I wish i could play it.

 

[AzureNightmare]

Love hotels.

 

[DarkCronos]

well, the concept is bizarre enough to be intriguing but IMHO it was badly executed. I had a lot of issues with the mic: it didn't recognize my voice a lot of the time and even when it worked there was some lag imput between the vocal command and the response of my troops.

combine this with a really challenging difficulty level ad you have an almost unplayable game.

i mean... not only the game is hard as hell but that damned ball keeps slaughtering your own troops...

 

[Killer Yakuza B]

Hm? The game's pretty good, actually, and the gameplay was generally praised back then. Are you mistaking hard with unplayable, by any chance?

 

[ResidentDante]

Same here, they remind me of a Terminator!

Edit, missed this awesome post by TedNindo:

Actually, that looks like a cross between a T-800 Terminator and Bender from Futurama! XD

 

[Azure Dream]

Don't worry, they've moved on...

Not enough horse bag in a thread about weird Nintendo stuff
