Nintendo Possibly Linked With Foxconn and Child Labor For Wii U Production

Nintendo’s name and the Wii U were explicitly stated in the Chinese press, and while Foxconn has responded confirming that it is indeed illegal, they are denying that they had any knowledge of the illegal activity and would halt it, immediately.

This....will not end well...

It's not some big surprise or secret that Foxconn makes products for Nintendo, but they also build electronics for many, MANY other companies. Do I agree with their methods? No, but it is what it is. Foxconn makes electronics for Nintendo, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Cisco, Acer, Motorola, Dell, Intel, HP, Nokia, Vizio Sony, Compaq. Any console you buy has some assembly of components at one of the Foxconn plants. So if anyone gets to feeling all high and mighty up in here, go check which electronics you have in your home first.

I guess the U stands for Underage. XD

ronin4life4201d ago

Then I guess the "3" in PS3 stands for "three year "old"...

... sorry, that wad bad...-_-;;

Anyway, Both jokes are in poor taste. (Yours was kind of funny though... >.<;;)

SolDojo4202d ago

Think it stands for UHOH right about now. If this is true, I sure as hell wont be buying one.

AWBrawler4201d ago

really reaching. than throw out everything in your house thats made in china, cos i'm sure a child worked on it at some point

SolDojo4201d ago

i was really on the fence about it anyways, and there is no call for me to feed nintendo a few hundred more bucks when they do questionable business like this.

not sure that counts as reaching, as im well more than happy to spend that few hundred elsewhere

ronin4life4201d ago

@Sol
This is a gaming website. What you are saying seems to imply you will buy from another games provider. Except... THEY ALL USE FOXCON.

omarzy4201d ago

You should probably throw away anything with a plug if that your attitude, and throw away whatever you are using to connect to the internet.

Shoes, and any other clothing are also made in Chinese factories or any other place that work is outsourced to.

Do the above or be labeled as a hypocrite.

Qrphe4202d ago (Edited 4202d ago )

Sadly enough, most of our electronics involve child labor in one form or another: even more likely if they're products manufactured with outsourced labor (which are 99% of electronics).

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5063d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905063d ago (Edited 5063d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5064d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5064d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495063d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5063d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5063d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
