  1. I'll try to take part in this one.
  2. I am not sure about NX not having a bigger HDD as they are trying to promote digital sales and for that you need a bigger HDD. Maybe nothing huge, but 250gb should be included, but it would increase the price of the console. Is there a chance that we would be able to use the same external HDD we used on the Wii U, without loosing the games already installed on it?
  3. OK, that makes sense. Great then . Wow, great. I am waiting the whole day for update on my STBs as they are finally introducing Timeshift and VOD, but I didn't get it today. Now, they have also announced that they will upgrade our internet speed and in my case from 120/5, to 150/6 (I know, really low upload speed) and they will do it from the first of June. Of course they have to start doing it earlier as they can't do it for all of us at the same day and guess what? They did it for me during our MK league and that's why I had the problems. That was great timing.....
  4. I did that before, but It only showed a picture on Miiverse . OK I did it again, if you could check please. Thx.
  5. I've got a new motherboard and processor so I have finally started upgrading my PC and so I can pair it up with my Nintendo Wii U.
  6. Can someone help, so I can take the disc out of the Wii U ?
  7. EIDT: I think I've found it on Mario Kart TV, so what now?
  8. I have no idea what you are talking about, as my nephew was sitting and probably watching the race. You will have to guide me through it. Shell I do it now?
  9. Of course now it works, but I will still not start as this is the second time tonight that we've got disconnected for longer than few minutes.
  10. @Phube jump in, my connection is horrible.
  11. Why didn't you ask me for the code? It's just sitting there.
  12. Yeah it's these games. I will take the Wii U games, but not the 3DS, so if someone wants it, just pm me (I have to wait for the codes). EDIT: I have the code now, so....
  13. Thx again. Btw. where do you review stuff ?
  14. So not even Canvaleon? Ah.... Really bad week. Thx for the info .
  15. Dembele should have been sent off, or whoever put his finger into Costa's eye (but it has nothing to do with the play)? But Chelsea is just bad, two very cheap goals from a team who had one of the best defenses in the league for a long time. Very good finish from Kane.
  16. Yes, that's why I've said that if we just look at the profit the best thing for them would be to go third party with only certain software.
  17. Nothing, nothing , is that I can never fully say what I want without writing a big post . Januzaj couldn't make it at Dortmund as they complained about his training workrate and I think is the same problem here. I agree that someone like him would help, but we still have no class. Di Maria just wasn't good enough as a winger. He actually never was a very good winger, but more a midfielder but in a different midfield (just look at his history and his best season). He is a good player, but he wasn't the right choice for us. How many times did he go past a player when played as a winger? He had great runs from deep, that's true, but when he played as a winger he had big problems, plus I think he just didn't like it in England. But I can agree, when we had bought him, we should have tried to adapt our play to players we have, and not other way around as there were just to many players that had to change. We played few times more direct and open and scored enough goals, but we also conceded many. It's similar to Liverpool. They score a lot, but concede a lot, we decided to try to defend more as it brings us more points. The damage was done in summer, now is to late. Young played once as a striker I think. Valencia is now a much better fullback than winger, the same goes for Young as none of them is able to put a proper cross in. FB and WB is the only position they can actually play for us. 5 years ago it was different for Valencia, but not now.... Fellaini played a lot of things for many of reasons, but Fellaini himself said that he sees himself as a DFM, bloody Moyes played him as CM, in Belgium team he plays as CM and DFM.... You can't say that he is played out of position. Maybe his best position is ATM, but it's not like he was put to play full back, or winger. The only problem with him is that he isn't good enough. I've already agreed with this. He did it for Chelsea in his first season, he was actually good at the beginning of the season. I agree in the current set up he isn't up to it, but you can't say that LVG didn't try a lot of things with him. We don't have much choice right now. Mata didn't do great as a 10 either. Martial played most of his games for Monaco as left winger. Doesn't matter what fans want, he is not played out of position. Also, we used him as a striker, but because Depay was so bad, he was moved to left wing, as he is better than Depay, while we have some players who can play in the attack. I agree with that, but that problem started with SAF, who then wanted to fix it, but Moyes bottled it. But yes, Rooney is a problem. What is wrong with Lingard and Depay? Depay played most of his games where he is used to play, but he just wasn't good, while Lingard is our best right winger now. I know that he doesn't always plays the player in their best positions, whatever they are, but I think in most cases he didn't have much choice, as he bottled it in the transfer market (it's still his fault, don't get me wrong, but some things just can't be fixed now). I agree with this, that's why I haven't given up on Darmian, but I can't take all the blame from him. Most of his games in Italy he played as WB, so without the protection of a winger and had to go upfront, now suddenly he can't stop a faster player, he goes out of position, doesn't do anything upfront. Mata doesn't help him, but he doesn't help himself. First, I agree partially, as he was better with Shaw, but you have to agree that that injury and than other 2-3 injuries to our fullbacks isn't LVG's fault or the fault of the system. His missing one on ones, loosing the ball during counterattacks, being unable to score a free header from 5 meters it's on him. But also, he himself is to slow as he likes to stop an takes players on. That's how he played for PSV, but he just loses every duel, he sees a pass but passes to late. Even he admitted it. But that's what he said. He wants a small squad so he has to look at young players when senior players get injured. TFM, BJ and Rashford were all younger than 18, of course you can't start the season with them. That's the one thing you shouldn't take from LVG, as you have first to prepare the ground to be able to give young players a chance. I actually can agree with this as he does need at least 3 years to make this work as we needed to change a lot of players as we had movement problems during SAF years (remember the zombie passing and movement). I only don't think it's really the league, but more the players, as sadly they are technically inferior and aren't really good in some of the things so you either have to buy most of the players or start with young players. When we appointed LVG, we shouldn't have rushed him into making it into champions league, but we should have let him work with young players and teaching them the system, because that's where he is best at, otherwise he is probably just the wrong manager. As I have said, the biggest problems are LVG's decisions (we agree fully here ), but I just think that these mistakes were done in the summer, while now he plays the only way we can to get points and some of the players are not on their best position as we look better that way, because the option is (to good player on to positions, or one very good on first and one bad on the second position). And again, even with these mistake I am sure the with Shaw we would look better, as our attack would be a lot more dangerous with a fullback who actually tries to attack.
  18. You should look at profit it will say more than revenue as the profit margin is a lot larger on software than on hardware. If we just look at the profit I think that for them it would be the best to release only some of the games to other consoles, but they would have to choose carefully (I would release games as Captain Toad and similar stuff, games that don't move consoles and are in a group where they have enough games, but could be interesting to people who don't own the console).
  19. This post is reason I stopped posting about football . No, I don't enjoy watching us, but I like that we have finally managed to be able to hold the ball and we pass it better than before. Our finishing has nothing to do with our style of play, while I agree about us not creating chances, but it mostly has to do with our attackers as they are not good enough yet, plus we don't have a proper winger in the team (again, it's LVG's fault mostly) and our first choice fullbacks were injured most of the season. If anything, LVG's sides never had problems in attack, but in the defense. This is an anomaly. Who plays out of position? Where does the myth come from? We have Blind, TFM and that's it actually it, but they play well in their positions. Yeah, there is Rooney who shouldn't be playing at all. Now, the system doesn't suit for some of our players, but most of them do play in their positions. People mention Mata, but Mata was a right winger at Valencia and left winger in his first season at Chelsea, he is not being played out of position. Our problem with him is Darmian, who doesn't come forward, which would stretch the defense and give Mata some space. I do agree about Herrera, but not with the Depay and Darmian quote. Darmian is playing as a fullback, something he is. It's only his fault that he isn't going forward, that he doesn't defend properly. TFM is 18, never played fb and is doing a lot better then him. And Depay? He is probably the one player who got all the freedom. Just look at the beginning of the season. He did everything he wanted, but he just wasn't able to go past a player, make the right pass, missed at least 5-6 great chances (one on one, or headers), his shooting was bad. Guardiola's style is very similar to LVG's, the only difference is that Guardiola presses more with the ball, whyle LVG tries to make the opponents attack and so make holes in their defense (that's the theory). If you have watched his Ajax side you know what I am talking about. The difference is that Guardiola has Lewandowski who has more games than our whole attack, plus add Muller, Vidal, Costa, Thiago, Robben, Goetze, etc.... Look at his Barcelona side, when teams learned how to defend he almost always relied on Messi to do something and than they would break the opponents down (I am talking about the stronger teams, they were to strong for the smaller teams - Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Villa, Eto'o, Alves, Abidal/Alaba, Busquets....). We don't have that one player to do it for us, not yet (again, LVG's fault). Guardiola said in an interview that his job is to bring the team to the final third, and than it's up to the players. We don't have these players. Plus, for this style of play the fullbacks are of huge importance and we didn't get lucky with them this season, all of them were most of the times injured. LVG didn't make many mistakes when it comes to bringing players in, but he made some huge mistakes, mostly in the attack which together with our injuries did cost us this season. At least we have some young players we can look forward to. I have a feeling that LVG is leaving, otherwise Mourinho's quotes make no sense.
  20. Where is the option where they continue making hardware, but move with the times (and I think they will as they have entered the mobile market, so I think that they will implement a lot of things into their hardware)?
  21. I am wondering, couldn't Nintendo make a more powerful machine and sell it at a small loss as they have enough own IPs which make them a lot of money and they shouldn't have any problems recouping the money? For them it is quite easy to make money even if the don't sell to many consoles because their software where they get most of the money (one of the reasons I don't see them going third or second party), so they could use it for making their hardware more accessible to consumers.
