Nintendo has plenty of money in the bank to play with. I get that they want to make a profit. But I'm guessing a PS4 level system in another year or two (even leaving manufacturing time) when the NX launches the parts will be cheaper and they could still make a profit selling at $350. The only thing that makes sense is if they are trying to hit some magic price point of $199 out of the gate so they can make sure it's the every man, woman, and child console or something like we've seen happen with cheap laptops and tablets.

You have a point about it costing less to do the same as this generation, but you also point out that the starting price would still likely be around $350 unless they tried to optimize the shit out of it from the start. That is not how it goes with electronic devices usually. If the $350 is accurate then their new console on par with the One and PS4 would likely cost more at that time than either of those did. So who would be buying it unless they are really drawn to the Nintendo catalog? That is the same base of people who would have bought it anyway.

I think chasing more customers by having more software options has been proven that it just doesn't work for Nintendo ever since they got more competition in the space.

Another part of a healthy business is understanding your consumer base but Nintendo is really good at ignoring just about everything anyone asks for.

They can chase the fad all they want but unless they truly deliver it's leading them on a path to nowhere.

I would argue they do understand their customer base. It is mostly all fan boys that will be throwing money at them regardless of what they do. They don't have to listen because they keep showing back up anyway even with they purposefully slap them in the face with things like removing the battery charger or artificially limiting the supply of Amiibos.

The path they are on is profitability and sustainability instead of world domination.

If they are losing kids to Sony and MS who is going to buy their products when they get older? Sure die hard Nintendo fans who have to play their IP will buy the next Nintendo console but they need to create new fans when the are young.

Did those kids also own DS devices? Have you seen the sales numbers for those? Even us ancient mfers still remember the Gameboy. While we more fondly remember the SNES days, the handheld market has really been their bread and butter in terms of keeping fans hooked to their IP over the long term.

Yeah EDF 2025 is definitely the best one I've played out of all of them. Haven't touched the new one (or shall I say the new remastered version of a previous entry) that released in Japan yet.

Single player is alright as multiplayer is definitely where it shines. It's definitely one of those games where you play late night with a bunch of friends with some beer.

That was one of the main drawbacks reviews listed is the frame rate issue. Looks like that remastered version of 2025 (with new missions, features, and tweaks) was picked up for release in NA on PS4 this fall so I'll probably just wait and pick that up once I get a PS4.

Thanks for the heads up.

I personally think they'll be okay.

Hear me out.

I honestly can't think of a system that has games that are age appropriate and enjoyable by both kids and adults other than a Nintendo console because of their platformers. Don't get me wrong, I love my Sony, but I don't think I would let my kid play any of the games I have for that system until she was close to 12/13. I don't think they're appropriate for a younger generation (with the exception of a few I can think of). I think Nintendo does a good job of getting kids into gaming and that nostalgia and memory stays with them and they pass it on to their children. I still love my Nintendo, and that's the only console I will buy their games at full price. I think there is a lot of people out there like me too.

I wouldn't say I'm fanboy/girl status, but I will support a company that I like what they're doing and all that

I would imagine there is a bit more depth to the kid friendly games on a Wii or Wii U but there is a decent amount on Sony or Microsoft. Lego games come to mind. I am not a parent so I will defer to those that are on what games are kid friendly.

I wonder if that nostalgia / passing it down to the next gen will dry up though. My friend and I both had Nintendo NES consoles. My brother had a SNES and a 64. But if people stop buying Nintendo consoles for their kids there might be nothing to pass down.

If wasn't for the 3DS/2DS/DS there would be a lot less exposure to Nintendo for kids. Less of them to pass it down to their kids.

Yup I just posted something along those lines. Will this continue though? Or will iPads, tablets and smart phones (for older kids) start to eat into this market as these devices become much more powerful and cheaper and with much larger screens. For me I rather game on a Vita but for millions of others Android and iOS devices are their go to for portable gaming.

 
The DS was a revolution. 3DS is not. The DS sold 150ish million. The 3DS is around 50ish million. I don't see much they can do currently to catch those DS numbers. The DS had a vast 3rd party lineup. The 3DS does not. They now have to compete with tablets\phones where as the DS did not (as much anyway). 

 
a little over half way in collecting the riddler trophies.  should be on New game plus by Wednesday!  gives me a week to plat and then I will be picking up Rory Mcllroy golf on Tuesday!  

If not for the tank portions, BAK was a great game with a good story, bad twist, but overall great batman game.  May go clean up the challenges for Arkham City and go for the plat as well.

 
Minecraft, Fez, LittleBigPlanet games, Disney Infinity, Skylanders, Sports Champions, Pinball Arcade.

All good non-LEGO games my son plays on the ol' PS3.  Also NASCAR '14.

Yeah most of those are multi-platform, and most of Nintendo 1st party shit is kid friendly, but you can't say there's nothing for kids to play on the other machines.

What are your opinions on nipple piercings on chicks? Hot or not? I feel like it'd be cool for a second but that's it. Asking for a friend.

If Tyler wasn't currently being anxious on an airplane to visit Stotch so together they can drum up ideas on how to take all our money, this would make an excellent poll.

The idea of it is awesome and great for a chick you just see pictures of. Being with a chick with them actually was not as fun as I anticipated it being due to infection concerns that I did not realize was even an issue.

ETA: Umm... according to a friend anyway.... yeah...

My ex had one. She said it made her nip extremely sensitive in a good way.

As to whether it's hot? On the right chick it is.

I didn't though

I said Nintendo makes games that are both enjoyable for kids and adults and there was only a few I could think of on the other systems. Personally out of everything you listed I don't see anything that still comes close...maybe little big planet and Lego, but that's it. Everything I personally enjoy the other systems I don't think are appropriate until my children would be older. And the other games you listed I personally wiuldnt play, so again my point is that Nintendo makes games playable and enjoyable for both kids and adults :)


Which is fine for the other consoles, they're not going for that demographic anyways in my opinion

We're all excited for this, right? RIGHT?! :whee:

There's tons of other stuff, too. Granted there are more adult-oriented games on PS/XB systems so you can't say all games are kid-friendly, but that's what the parental controls are for.

 
Kind of bummed today.  Work sucks of course, but its worse when you see the lawyer and you come to the realization that you have to give your soon to be ex wife a lot of money and alimony will be longer than expected.

not a fan. I'd much rather just see the nipple than the nipple with a barbell through it. I'm pretty old fashioned though - I think women au natural are awesome to look at without all the extra flair.

Look at it from this perspective; that's money she would have been wasting if you hadn't gotten divorced anyway.

im pro all piercing but not cock piercings. We know a guy and that's just all sorts of weird.

I know a ton of chix with barbell pierced tits and its ok. The best is I know a few chix who have their hoods pierced, they say it is all sorts of great. The best nipple piercings tho were this chic recently who came over and had heart metal things pierced in her nips. I dont have any pix of her but look up heart nipple piercings. it looks like a triple pierce instead of just double, but it does look hardcore. she said they were super sensitive tho when i bit them

Just think of the positive, you're free to do what you want now. There was no cheating or anything. Imagine if you had to deal with that, that probably would have plagued your mind more.

Guy piercing in that area are not fun from what I've heard

From personal experience, having my boyfriend gently touch and play with my nipples causing waves of bliss throughout my body. Gently blowing on them also helps.
I like it when my boyfriend nibbles on my nipples through a t-shirt as well. I would let him suck/lick on them straight but id have to clean them directly after because the saliva could irritate or even infect the piercing.
Click to expand...
Yeah I'm reading up on it and it can take awhile to heal so that kind of sucks. People say if you clean after then it shouldn't cause an infection.

Well speaking from my experience, both nipples pierced, I thought but hurt for a millisecond and then was exhilarating. Mine have become more sensitive hand over foot. At first I was more aware that they were there, shirts rubbing on them and became aroused. The longer that I had them the more I got accustomed to them. Mine took roughly 6 weeks to heal. In the bedroom things are much more fun, pulling, twisting, and the like are much more intense as far as pleasure goes. Light touching hard pulling the like is 100 times more sensitive.

If this is what happens then I'm going all in!

But as the partner I guess I didn't think about how they feel about it. Sucking on dumbbells doesn't sound like fun. Maybe pierce one and leave the other natural?

Maybe. Old farts like me certainly got tattoos and some piercing above the neck. One of my friend's wife has a tongue piercing but she is about 10 years younger.

But yeah younger kids seem to be more into it. My nephew has two through his upper lip as does his GF (And she is pretty hot).
