101 Reasons why Nintendo fails.
« on: June 15, 2008, 02:06:11 AM »
Alright, so for a few weeks I have been trying to act upon a sinister plan with my minion Superaielman.  The idea was to send a game that just recently came out to three people via Gift option on the Wii Shopping channel.  I got Super to gather three people's Wii Friends codes.  His targets were Ephraim, Zenthor and Mad Fnorder.  I allocated Ephraim and Zenthor as marks and allowed Super to pick one of his own.

Unfortunately the Wii Friends codes do not seem to work cross continental (as my best guess since my Friends code was apparently inputted by at least one mark and I received no confirmation back from them).  I know how this should have worked as I also successfully did this to one of my little brothers friends on the friends Birthday.

Oh the game was Cho Aniki.

So the 101 reasons Nintendo suck are because they prevented me from Sending Cho Aniki to Eph and Zenny.  Who you all know deserve it.

Fail Nintendo.  Epic endless fail.

Minion? You wish, bitch. I brilliantly executed my part of the plan, completely duping the marks with the barest of efforts.

You meanwhile failed as only an emo Seifer style villain can. End it all and spare us the shame of your pathetic attempts at passing the blame onto me.

Fnorder deserves it as well. But yeah, that was a lot of fun to try and do. Really wish I had a Wii or I would have sent it myself.

I remember beating them up in Der Langrisser. Good times.

Sounds like poor, Communist-level planning to me.

I can try for it when I get a Wii, if you still want to go through with it Gref.

Nah, I have already spent enough money on Wii points as it is.  There is no point if the plan is in the open.

Better question.  Why, exactly, did Nintendo allow that game to come out on the VC at all?
WHY, WHEN WE ARE DEPRIVED OF MOTHER 3?
WHY?

(Yes, I'm already assuming people will say "Because Mother 3 sucks and Cho Aniki doesn't."  You don't need to say it.  I know Grefter will anyways, though.)

I think to SEND games via the gift option, BOTH parties need to register Wii console friend codes.  That's how it works for games at least anyhow.  Like if I wanted to fight MC in Brawl, I need his FC and he needs mine.  It won't work at all if one is missing or the other. It's the flaw of the FC system.

Now, I don't EXACTLY know how it works, but I did have my friend get my console number and his to send someone a game once.

EDIT: I don't have Super's or Gref's console numbers because a recent flood means I haven't bothered with my Wii at all.

Whoever runs the VC side of things for Nintendo is such a complete and total jerk that it leaves -me- in awe? I feel like I should be studying from his example.

I just checked the Wii Shopping Channel and the game Grefter speaks of doesn't exist.  So maybe the issue also is that Grefterland games must stay in Grefterland, otherwise people would be badgering japanese people to Gift them japanese games because only japanese games are cool.

I would be much more surprised if Cho Aniki did exist outside Japan. It is a game about muscle men and their penises.

There is a flaw in the logic. Even the game is sent, there is no guarantee it'll be played.

Do you think Zenny wouldn't paly Cho Aniki if he had it and that Eph wouldn't try something that bad?

Checking stuff (Like Wiki and uh nothing else) PAL and Japan both got Cho Aniki and the states didn't.  What the fuck.

Also Cho Aniki has more humor and artistic credit not to mention a far greater grasp on surrealist humor than Earthbound ever could.  This is serious.

More fun as well with less retarded mechanics.
