Wii U

Clearly, he's upset we haven't seen a new Ultrahand toy in years.

there's also these two amusingly bizarre questions:

Glad to see that company is doing rather well considering how dumb some of shareholders are <_<

A telescoping 3DS screen sounds so dumb, but also, somehow, so aweosme.

You would think shareholders would at least have the common sense to understand the industry that a company makes the bulk of their money in. Sheesh.

It doesn't surprise me. Investing is mostly about just "will this company make money for me?" That's why I'm in the stock market. I have morals though; I refuse to invest in those two cable companies. We all know which ones I'm talking about. I hate the idea of investing in a company that makes its money ripping off its customers.

I try to at least understand what's going on and why before I jump in. I didn't invest in marijuana and 3D printing for no reason. If I don't understand a particular industry, I don't know if the stock will go up or down, or even if the company is doing something immoral or horrible.

There ought to be a law against owning a business you have absolutely no interest in.

I wonder who would fall first if that happened... those people, or Cartoon Network Executives.

Don Mattrick would likely get incarcerated.

That would mean nearly every other business wouldn't exist then. People own a business mostly just to make money, even if they have zero experience in the field.

Exactly. It's like running a nation without an ounce of respect to it, only using it as a means of exerting influence and power. What if the President of the United States didn't know a thing about his own country?

That's not even close to being the same thing. In your metaphor, the shareholders are not the president, they're the voters. Shareholders choose the board (generally based on recommendations from the board itself, although you can vote for whomever you want), and the board makes decisions. And there are plenty of voters who do have no clue about their country.

I'd say the shareholders are more or less the senate in a parliamentary democracy than voters; the voters would almost certainly be fanboys: the lowest in the chain. But as I said before, a senate should be more considerate of what they are responsible for, shouldn't they?

Then clearly we kick him out of power even though he was elected by the people in a fair election? (That would never happen. Neither would this law, so whatever.) I'm not sure what point you're making. Shareholders must be tested before they're allowed to use their own money?

Shareholders are whoever owns stock. A shareholder could only $0.02 worth of stock (if a company's stock is selling for that low, and such "penny stocks" actually do exist), or a shareholder could hold $50,000,000 worth of stock. Point is, anyone from someone filthy rich to some regular person experimenting with stock investing could be a shareholder.

Both the poor and rich shareholders likely have the same thing in mind: money. Only some shareholders are thinking in other terms, but when you spend money, you tend to want something out of it.

Got Pikmin 3 and the Wii U version of Black Flag for my birthday.

I wish I could duplicate myself so that I can work on regaining my Wii U game progress, play computer games, and deal with my work and social life all at once.

Rumor we might be seeing Diddy Kong Racing 2 at E3 2015.

Monster Games have been working on it off and on since 2006.

It is rumored to have lesser known Nintendo characters like Dillon, Mallo, and Rusty.

It's about six months too early for me to be interested in E3 rumors again.

I only mentioned that it could be at next E3 because apparently it is ready for them to show it off but they didn't want to show it at E3 this year because Nintendo didn't want to take sales away from Mario Kart 8.

They could also just reveal it in a Nintendo Direct later this year.

I seriously doubt they'd announce that this early.

Those still following the patent debacle may be interested in this:

That's from March though.

Fair point. But it does prove that Phillips has been doing this for some time.

Seriously, how the heck Phillips is even still given a chance in this court case is beyond me.

Also, how do you think Nintendo is handling their partnerships with Indie devs? Especially since some feel that they have done everything that Nintendo has done, but better.

"I've seen other developers trying something new with many other genres, innovation and fresh experiences, trying new methods (including Indie Developers) receiving more awards than Mario games. or getting new ideas in the gaming industry, specially on PC, unlike Nintendo and their rehashed I Ps"

On that note, what new ideas do you see in Nintendo's upcoming games?
