Nintendo's cultivating a reputation as 'the company that thinks of children first' even where it's not required by law or where it's inconvenient for consumers (then they release underage titty-based fighter games anyway but whatever)

I guess it's more about image than legally absolving themselves from responsibility?

I don't think it's about thinking of children first, in the case of online chat etc they probably just don't want any parents complaining or suing because Little Johnny heard someone say "gently caress" while playing his Nintendo.

Also they don't develop or publish Senran Kagura, and those games are rated M by ESRB anyway.

I believe Emmanuelle is shit, though Emmanuelle 2, Emmanuelle '77 and Goodbye, Emmanuelle may be very good movies.

feel sorry for those 5 people with bad docks. the rest of us have perfect docks for our perfect system.

My SSB Link has several pointy bits that would be dangerous for a child. Why can't they just put a minimum age on the box like Lego?

Because they know kids have no chance at getting to the stores to buy them before the adult amiibo hunters get there.

You'd swear blind the music for Splatoon's single-player levels was done by the guy responsible for the soundtrack of Rugrats.

Preordered Spla2n physical off of Amazon. I'll play it for a month of so and if I don't like it I'll sell it back for a minimal loss.

That's pretty much what I was saying. They could just put a disclaimer in (like everyone else) that 'experience changes online', but they choose to restrict chat and use friend codes instead. Same deal with flavouring catridges. I think it's more about public perception of their company than protecting themselves legally. Creating a perception that you're thinking about kids first is a different concept to actually thinking about kids first

I suspect there is in fact no acknowledged Sarasaland ruling class and that Daisy is as much a ruler of it as King Dedede is over Dream Land.

Sarasaland is run by a democratically elected tricameral legislature. The princess is a historical figurehead.

I was wondering when this was going to happen, considering how Microsoft and Nintendo (Or I guess The Pokemon Company specifically) are in regards to Minecraft these days.

At least now it won't be awkward when an official Pokemon Minecraft pack is announced.

Or, as awkward.

Is there any way to choose where something gets downloaded to? It seems everything just gets bumped onto the sd card no matter what and I have no choice in the matter. The only way I can see is to take out the sd card when I want to put something on internal storage, is that what I'm going to have to do to get Splatoon2 there?

Are the differences between something being on internal memory, on an SD card, or on a game card really that significant?
