I bet a lot of people are going to complain about this but let single mishap of someone showing someone underage a perverted drawing and people will be blaming Nintendo.

Though one thing I have to wonder about this news is how Nintendo knew the drawing was made by an underage person. Did this guy have her write "I'm an unsupervised 10 year old" in a message box?

Don't know what to say about this. I would be mad.

sloth33954117d ago

read the story they said that on the drawing it says it was made by his 10 year old niece

nukeitall4117d ago

This is ridiculous and this is sort of why I don't subscribe to the idea that Nintendo would be the network I would join for online gaming.

Really? Did you hear what the head of 343 studios said in regarding to certain language while playing on Halo 4?

If not you might want to google it.

That's far worse. It's not some idiot mod that made a bad call (and we don't know if it's even true) versus a publicly stated policy from the CEO of that company.

So if you don't like Nintendo network for this, then surely you can't like xbox live.

Me...I don't like any of this fascist stuff. Though as an owner of both, what can I do? Only open my mouth and inform.

@jmc8888:

That isn't even a valid comparison if you are referring to the zero-tolerance policy on offensive communication in online gaming on Halo 4.

That is a good thing for the community, as I don't to hear abusive language or sexist and racist language in my games.

However, I don't want Nintendo constantly watching over me and banning my account because they "think" I'm under aged. That doesn't affect anyone besides me and way stepping over the boundaries.

It's amazing how you twisted something positive into a negative. More amazingly you got more agrees than disagrees at the time of this writing!

Nintendo have to watch their backs, today it was a harmless drawing, but's not always the case, and people love lawsuits these days...

It's stupid to sue Person A for what person B did.

MRMagoo1234117d ago

Thats the good ol' US of A for ya tho.

Kos-Mos4117d ago

usa ftw. Rest of the world=no problem.

TotalSynthesisX4117d ago

Harsh. At first I was like, "lol, dude has a perverted niece" then I find out it was a normal drawing and his account was suspended simply because his underage niece drew it?

I see where Nintendo is coming from, but wouldn't a warning email/NN message suffice? Suspending someone's account immediately because of a minor breach of conduct is a little too extreme if you ask me.

Nevers0ft4117d ago

Agreed. Nintendos moderators are just people like us (ok, maybe they're prudish far-right evangelists, I don't know) but you're going to get some that use do a great job and some that are drooling morons that can't use a bit of common sense.

TheBrit4117d ago

I know it's nit picking but, she created this image on HIS account not her own account so the part that reads "Today I receive an email saying that my NNID got deleted because “a children need parental consent to create an Account online” is totally crap - she never created an account as an underage child so his account should not have in theory gotten banned.

And if they are trying to say he is under age, they have no way of knowing that.

Very hokey

exfatal4117d ago

i've read this story earlier and im not quite sure i believe it. Like a drawing my 10 year old did.. if he didnt put those words up (and apparently the child wanted to draw it herself) how could she have been unsupervised unless she wrote those words herself which i doubt. I know im being a bit nit picky just seems so unlikely that nintendo would be so harsh in there modding when trying to appeal to a wider range. I definitely wanna try this out and see if i get banned lol

Wii U games that still haven't been ported to Switch

The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga3d ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos3d ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas3d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj3d ago

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger3d ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
