    There are some very interesting comments that Sean makes about the things that he can't talk about. The firstis VR which 100% confirms for me that this is being held up by either morpheus or oculus and the other is the cross play comment. Massive there is going to be some Windows 10 crossover... no idea but it is definitely concerning something that hasn't been announced yet.

    What is up with nintendo...? They're killing the buzz of new modes... So frustrsting. Doesn't mske any sense! Fucking idiots!

     

    This reads so well against your adorable avatar :p

    No, but the fact many have informed me in private about it implies otherwise.

     

    You do realise this statement is almost completely pointless. You may feel like you have made a parry in that argument but you've essentially said nothing. It almost reads as though you made that up just to gain a minor victory in this conversation. Not saying you have... it just very, VERY much reads that way.

     

     

     

    And yes, the following is arrogant (fair warning), yet true. It's not me being blunt or anything but I am the foremost knowledgeable person about Pokémon in the world. I know what I'm on about.

    Therefore, the attempts to shut me down, saying I'm stubborn and insinuating that I don't know what I'm on about was out of line. All I was doing was trying to make the discussion as to how we could make it so it could work and be a feasible thing. I made sure I wasn't saying "OH MY GOD, this will never happen." and was trying to further the topic so we could discuss awesome feasible ideas for it.

     

    Sorry to double quote this but you guys wanted feedback from long-gones right? Bluey just read this over my shoulder and had only the following to say:

     

    "What an absolute cock"

    To be fair, it's mostly the vocal minority who have issues with me. Never mistake the vocal minority for the majority.

     

    I understand that but we're talking about the things that make this place less desirable to visit, right? Conflicts between you and the vocal minority are a big part of that and when I left, it's all that the board was filled with.

     

    Got to be honest, even having this short discussion with you feels like you are unwilling to see things from another persons point of view and are happy to carry on with how things are. Are you really that entrenched with your behaviour that you can't consider that modifying to could make your time and others here better? 'cos that's certainly what I'm hearing from what you're saying.

    I wasn't rubbing it in people's faces.

     

    I'm not sure your opinion on how you think other people should react to what you say really matters. It's them that you are having a discussion with not yourself.

     

    The amount you post suggests that you want to communicate with other people here. The amount of people that get upset/frustrated by your posts would suggest that how you are doing that is (at the very least) not effective.

     

    Not trying to be rude with that, just practical.

    Well hello dearies...

     

    I'm glad this is getting discussed. This is the first time I've posted in a while because spending my time on these boards was making me miserable. It was toxic, cyclical and (going to be frank here) I've come to actually dislike many of the regulars because frankly, you're just horrible to each other.

     

    I've been running a real life Nintendo community with people in my local area, hosting event supported by Nintendo UK fairly directly. And you know what I've learned? There are lots of people out there who love Nintendo, really really love it and they're not even interested in a discussion about can't/won't/hasn't/should/must. They're only interested in sharing their positive experiences.

     

    I'm not sure that you can moderate the systemic and cultural problem that the Nintendo board has at the moment. I don't think it's fair to hammer people for being pessimistic about a company that a large fraction of us are having a long slow divorce with and equally I think it's a shame when people dump on those that are trying to liven up the place with some more creative discussion. For instance, I thought Nintendo's E3 showing was poor. I complained a little but honestly just went and got excited about the games that I liked (none of these were Nintendo).

     

    A positive step could be to distract people who are getting in a negative rut by reminding them about stuff they like. Far too often here do people yell at others who are obviously unhappy or hurting (even in the most minor, hobby related way) because something that is dear to them is changing or disappearing.

    OK, I came into the thread actively trying not to pick up on something that you personally have said but it is difficult not to respond to this.

     

    I genuinely believe that you know a lot about Pokémon and Game Freak but this bolded point right here? How do you think other people are going to read that?

     

    From my point of view (and because you're making a absolute statement) you are defending here, HARD. I understand that's because you often feel threatened because people attack you here. But you don't have anything that you need to prove to anyone here. You can have your opinion and they can have theirs and you won't come across as weak or wrong because you let someone think something different to you.

     

    I've not read the thread that you're referencing and in the past I've been guilty of plenty of raging and arguing but I know you well enough to see your pattern. You started off that paragraph with "And yes, the following is arrogant (fair warning)" but that doesn't excuse you from trying to laud yourself over people. When you feel the need to write this, then you're likely to need to take a second before you go any further. You're knowledge is not absolute, no one's is. And I think that you'd enjoy this place a lot more if you just concentrated on contributing your information rather than trying to convince people. Your arguments with Sheikah are a perfect example of "you can lead horse to water but you can't make it drink". Most of the time, you've both stated your information and need to just disagree and move on.

     

    ...And that's fine.

     

    That's my two penneth and purely my perspective. I've learnt that my opinion on what Nintendo do has no bearing on why I play there games. Sure it's interesting to discuss but I actually don't care. And caring too much is quite a big thing around here.

    Best piece of advice I have is to delete all of the actual games where you can separately keep the save data. Just keep the save data for everything then re-download the game on the new system as the Wifi is basically double the speed.

    Maybe. I don't know what the 3DS is like online so I shouldn't say watch the defensive effort. It mightn't have the power to do it or good enough wi-fi. I wonder if the New 3DS would stand a better chance, not that it matters now.

     

    Do you have any idea what the throughput capacity of even the most basic 802.11n device is?

     

    Your comments make no sense whatsoever.

    Been mentioned before but it blatantly needs it's own thread-

     

    Nintendo are going to have a big presence at Hyper Japan at Earl's Court this year. Not only will Smash Bros 3DS be available to play (fingers crossed for download play!) but there will be plenty on the Wii U as well:

    I'll definitely be there but likely to be quite busy. StreetPass groups are going to be there in droves so it'll be a good chance to meet people local to you. Ask away, they're all friendly!

  23. Posted

    Super Smash Bros. 3DS has confirmed to be playable at Hyper Japan... I wish Nintendo would just release the demo on eShop.

     

    A LOT of the StreetPass communities are going to be there and obviously swarming the Nintendo booth. As long as nothing horrendous happens then bluey and I will be there so come and say "It's a Miiiiiiii!"

    I find it funny the amount of people that don't realise how completely irrelevant it is that Samus is somehow nominally a "woman" even though in actuality she's a paper thin cipher performing completely male gender roles and has nothing about her that marks her out as a woman through the entirety of her games, except the x-ray visions of her in her underwear every time you hit zero health. So, yeah, a woman, but only the most exploitative way you can think of.

     

    I think you're obliquely making the same point I am. That recently, she has only been a woman in the most superficial of ways. Her feminine (mostly motherly) side has been addressed before in quite tones but generally she's a big nothing from a personality point of view.
