I think people are forgetting that only Nintendo games themselves, and not games by third parties (unless published by Nintendo and hosted on their servers), are affected by this. That's disappointing, but there are many games that still will function fine.

That not point for the shutdown. They are shutting it down for Wii U and 3DS Nintendo Online games match making. Such as Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros.

...thank you for reiterating exactly what I said in a confusing, borderline illiterate way. Your reply was useless and nonsensical.

This is a smart move, since a lot of people will be forced to upgrade.

It's smart, doesn't mean I agree with it. I'm still holding off on buying the Wii.U.

I did upgrade to the 2Ds though (well downgrade in some cases), I don't EVER use the 3D and frankly it's more comfortable than even the XL is...I was shocked how much I can play without cramps.

The sound quality is terrible through speakers though, I have to use headphones to enjoy the music at max:)

This is why people are terrified of digital, yes its only online play being affected but sooner or later they might choose to shut down the online as well...and since your games tie into your system (So stupid btw...having games locked to ur system), most users might not be as affected by it...either way...I buy all my games digital for Vita (yes I know...but the damn cartridges are soo small and frankly changing one on subway is too annoying) and physical copies for 3Ds (other than a minimal select few...which i got for free or as a bonus).

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos1d 17h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Infinite Space: The Story Of A Forgotten Space Opera And Sega's Negligence

Space opera fans deserve a chance to experience the vastness of Infinite Space, and Sega needs to make up for its mistake.

I still go back to Infinite Space from time to time. Probably the most underrated game I ever played.

Felt like I was the only person who bought and played this lol
