Their business model is literally "yes, lots of people will get hurt and have bruises at our amusement park, and we don't own the copyright to the characters, but hopefully Nintendo will love us instead of suing us."

i am glad that I googled for Nintendo amusement Park

All of these are good answers and all but none of them are Cubivore.

Yes nobody mentions cubivore because I think a large portion of people who own gamecubes never even saw this game let alone own it.

It's the equivalent to Robot Alchemic Drive for the PS2.

Also I had I am having a real good laugh over the amiibo collectors making GBS threads themselves over 3 am pre-orders and store exclusives. A real toy company like Hasbro would never do something so stupid and has actual re-sellers like Big bad Toy Store and it's own online shop that sells entire 1980's collector lines with little to no hassle.

Pikmin 2 is one of the best games ever made and its on the gamecube. Therefore, the gamecube was good.

I'm still laughing at the amiibo thread and all their conspiracy theories that exist to deny them their plastic statues.

I believe in a universe that doesn't care, and people that do.


Weren't there tons of issues, though? Like wasn't the Goldeneye HD version that came to XBOX specifically different in its core gameplay because Nintendo refused to let Rare use the same engine?

They're cheaply made plastic trophies of Nintendo characters, with some chips embedded in the base. They interact with Nintendo consoles and games in numerous different ways; tapping them on the Gamepad or 3DS gives you different effects for a bunch of current and upcoming games, primarily 'extra bits' of DLC to slightly enhance your gaming experience. They started out as a pretty harmless endeavor until Nintendo neglected to continue making half of each wave, leading to massive shortages and crazy scalper value.

He's referring to Diddy Kong Racing DS. Also, they haven't ever forced Nintendo to censor things in Rare Donkey Kong ports, like the Killer Instinct arcade machine or the Jetpac game in DK64.

I am glad that I can continue to not care about them.

Also, I shouldn't be surprised that people get really upset about them. I've seen how crazy people get over poo poo like their gamerscore or whatever, so then you add an actual physical object to it and everyone goes loving nuts.

It's nothing really that interesting on its own. Some people complained about one of the bits of text a backer put in the game, Obsidian agreed and admitted that it shouldn't have made it through QA, and it was quietly patched out.

Then the usual Let's Play pantshitters started making GBS threads their pants and sending out rape threats over it because it's censorship and political correctness gone mad and the developers are obviously just bowing down to the threats of the feminazi shadow cabal.

If you mean people like those who dye their hair in rainbow colors I really can't say that their opinions lie within the realm of sanity. Like everything they say is within the realm of madness and when they get angry it's like double thesaurus mad.


Anyways the poem was funny and clever and to just get butthurt to the point where you make open threats to a developer which causes them to remove it and get even more open threats is comedy in itself.
