It's not just Nintendo, just about anything having patents has this, tech companies just have more visibility because they tend to have internet-ready supporters. Just check out Ars Technica, there are medical companies patenting the unpatentable (human genes), agricultural patents preventing farmers from using GMO seeds to produce more seeds lest they violate their supplier's agreement (turning natural products into wasted "licensed" goods). It's gotten so bad I think the only way to end all this nonsense is to abolish the patent system.

Yes, AC may sell that much, but it suffers from the same problem as CoD. No matter how good the game is, people buy it because of the name, not because of the game they are being offered.

You guys forgot to put Link as a sword master to teach others. Rejected because he doesn't talk and that fact he cuts up everything, thinking it as an enemy. Not to mention the piles of dead chickens hidden in a room.

Niko Bellic: Application rejected... then suddenly approved.
So funny. Even better is imagining Niko as a driving instructor. He'd put a gun to the student's head and tell them to drive, lol. I imagine he'd also teach them well in the fine art of dodging police in a pursuit, and shooting out the window accurately while driving at the same time. I wonder how many ramps and jumps are included in a typical driver training session with Niko?
Andrew Ryan: Application accepted. Andrew starts on Monday.
Hooh boy. Guess we all know how the city of Hull will meet its end.

I hope that all of you guys realize that neither ff13 or ff13-2 were in the last fiscal year, the later was actually part of the year they were in the positive. Square Enix does a lot more games than final fantasies but all everyone here likes to do is just bash on 13/13-2. In fact here are some of the more popular games Square Enix titles released in the 2012 fiscal year(april 2102-march2013); Sleeping Dogs,Call of Duty:Black Ops 2, FF3/7 rereleases, Hitman:Absolution, Tomb Raider, and Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD. Notice how none of those have anything to do with final fantasy 13 or the Fabula Nova Crystallis series. Another big thing is that they are literally throwing their own games under the bus. The only part that had decreased was the "division operating income" This unfolds as follows, Operating Income = Revenue - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS), Labor, and other day-to-day expenses. In other words they just had terrible management of their assets and then they try to blame it on the games not selling to make them not look as terrible. The fact is that the only reason for them not losing more money was how much the revenue increased from the year before.

Well maybe its time to announce Kingdom Hearts 3 and actually release it instead of hiding behind cryptic messages, I mean come on hand held ports are fun and all but lets just release the third already.

Dr. Mario always makes me think of my mom. It was the only game that she was better than me at, and probably still is, as I'm crap at puzzle games. I'll never forget seeing the ending to the game after she beat the last level on the highest difficulty and max speed.

Whenever I play Mario Kart I think of my mother. She used to play it with me when I was little, and have a heated competition with my father. Great memories... (My mother always won against my dad)

Anytime I play something from the N64 era. I never did homework in school, so I was constantly getting grounded from something. My mom's favorite punishment was "No Nintendo." Instead of taking the console or even the games, she would tell me to wrap up the controller and put it in her room. After a month or two, once my grades showed improvement, she would give the controller back. She had no clue that I had gone to the mall and bought a second controller. I would just play it until she got home, then unplug my controller and hide it in my room. It went on for years. I told her about it after I was a grown man, and she smacked me on the back of the head and called me a little shit.
Ocarina of Time reminds me of her more than anything else. I was too young for a driver's license yet, so she picked up my preorder on her way home from work. Up to that point, and maybe still til this day, I had never had a more agonizing wait for a game. I was walking home from my friend's house down the street and she pulled up to give me a lift the rest of the way home. I opened the bag and couldn't believe I finally had the game in my hands.
She died from pancreatic cancer. She bought this "Cancer Sucks" bracelet online a couple months before. I was holding her hand when she passed, and I slid the bracelet off her wrist and put it on mine. I've worn it every day since. That was over 4 years ago. People who don't know what it is sometimes give me shit about it for wearing a purple bracelet, but you can imagine how little that bothers me.
Now that I have a son of my own, I have somewhat of an idea of everything she did for me. I wish she was still around so I could tell her how much I appreciate it. I remember thinking it was funny when she cried like a baby during our dance at my wedding. Now that I'm a parent, I think I'm beginning to understand. And I still can't hear that damn Rod Stewart song we danced to without getting choked up. When you're a kid, your parents are just these people who vanish for 8 hours of the day, then come home and feed you. You think they do it because they have to. Truth is, they don't have to. And many of them don't. If you're lucky enough to have one of the good ones, I hope you realize the full extent of what they've done for you before it's too late.

I don't get the Avatar thing, myself. As for SFXT, that was just poor timing. What I really don't get on this list, though, is the inclusion of Ryo in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing. Everywhere I was reading about the game, people were happy for his inclusion, but upset that he wasn't driving his forklift instead of the motorcycle. So SEGA went and made an extra version of the character where he's driving the forklift at all times, and even produced a limited-edition model based on him driving it in the game. Granted, they still wanted Shenmue 3, but I don't remember them being terribly upset just because he was featured here.

I agree. I remember everyone being excited that he hadn't been completely forgotten.

I'm not even a Megaman fan, and I was still pissed about Street Fighter X Tekken. That seriously seemed like Capcom was intentionally spiting Megaman fans... Although after everything else, I can't really blame them.
