I know this is off topic, but who actually owns Tetris
There was the gameboy version, an App Store version by EA
A million other versions all by different publishers and developers.
I hate strongly dislike that newspaper, one of the most sensationalist sillyfests on the internet. Then again, most news organizations are pretty - no, scratch that, it's not the news organizations that's the root of the problem, it's this 'interpretive journalism' which plagues the industry at this moment, they've infiltrated most professional places and replaced good, old-fashioned cold hard journalism with lists of facts, none of this activist crap. I probably shouldn't be bringing it up in this thread but yeaaaah!

Okay, so, imagine a world where there is no governmental protection of 'intellectual property', now imagine the creator of Smash Brothers instead being someone who just takes all the video game characters, and imagine they had competition to fight for 'best game'? Yep. It's kinda how the medicinal industry is, you have off brand and on brand products of the same exact thing sitting next to each other on shelves in pharmacies. It's the best form of division of labor to create the best results, organic and naturally forming without people who think they can design economic fate. I'm sure there'd be people that targeted audiences like 'only Nintendo characters fighting game', etc.. Delicious. Tetris is kinda like that. Except very limited in scope and I don't even know about its stuff.

Good evening all, hope you're all doing well. Looks like I picked an...interesting-ish time to drop in, but that doesn't mean it can't serve for some entertainment...as for the talk of food...Siebold would be pleased.


Cooking is a form of art after all, although I would relate said current food topic to the likes of Picasso.

PEACH = ...oh wait.

What if Miis are not playable on public online, you can only play against your friends to prevent vulgarity or offensive images from happening.
I would be sad, I would want to display my Hitler Mii, and maybe even Jesus Mii. Not to mention, I want to show off all of my deformed ones representing celebrities. Now I can't enact my dream of playing as Slim Shady in Smash 4!

I know DLC isn't being planned, but that my be fun to talk about. I personally think it will be limited to persona's of other characters. (Dr. Mario, Pichu, Toon Zelda, etc.)

Hehehe. Oh hey, isn't this forum supposed to be child friendly? :bee:

On DLC: I want all of it for every character ever. Ez. More realistically, anyone who got cut due to development time is the first and easiest prediction to make.

So in other words, skin packs...

On second thought that sounds cool. Red Son Ganondorf and Blackest Night Jigglypuff have been on my fantasy roster for like... ever.

New topic: if a second Sonic character somehow gets in, who would you want it to be.
I'd say Dr. Eggman! In second it would be Tails.
I'd prefer If Dr. Eggman had his classic Robotnik design like how Mega Man got his old design.
He would also have to have his epic running animation!

I'd want them in this order:
Knuckles
Tails
Metal Sonic (Classic moveset, not the modern day reskin that he is)
Eggman
Amy
none

So, I was looking through Nintendo's annual reports to see which games were the top selling games at the time... you need Adobe Reader to view them...

2012 - go to page 14
2011 - go to page 10 and 12
2010 - go to page 10 and 12
2009 - go to page 10 and 12

As for 2013, the annual report doesn't show which games but this webpage will tell you... they are all as of March 31, 2013...


Top 10 Wii U games as of March 31, 2013

2.60 million - Nintendo Land
2.15 million - New Super Mario Bros. U

Top 10 3DS games as of March 31, 2013

8.29 million - Super Mario 3D Land
8.08 million - Mario Kart 7
6.42 million - New Super Mario Bros. 2
3.86 million - Animal Crossing: New Leaf
3.28 million - nintendogs + cats
2.95 million - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
1.97 million - Paper Mario: Sticker Star
1.29 million - Pokemon Rumble Blast
1.22 million - Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
1.18 million - Kid Icarus: Uprising
1.11 million - Mario Tennis Open


Top 10 Wii games as of March 31, 2013

81.99 million - Wii Sports
34.26 million - Mario Kart Wii
31.89 million - Wii Sports Resort
28.02 million - Wii Play
27.88 million - New Super Mario Bros. Wii
22.67 million - Wii Fit
20.86 million - Wii Fit Plus
11.72 million - Super Mario Galaxy
11.49 million - Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Top 10 DS games as of March 31, 2013

30.38 million - New Super Mario Bros.
23.34 million - Mario Kart DS
23.94 million - nintendogs
19.00 million - Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day
14.88 million - Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day

15.42 million - Pokemon Black / White
12.67 million - Pokemon HeartGold / SoulSilver
11.70 million - Animal Crossing: Wild World

Looking at the sales figures, it kinda makes sense why Wii Fit Trainer and Villager were the first Nintendo newcomers shown... they appeal to a large number of Nintendo consumers, including casual gamers (people who don't bother with video game message boards and fansites) and Nintendo fans (people who didn't seriously support them before they were confirmed to be in SSB4)... while Mega Man was really the only newcomer who had a lot of fan requests since he appeals to hardcore gamers (the vocal minority who frequents the message boards and fansites).

Tails. More Iconic.

Mario got Luigi before Bowser or Peach. If Sonic got a 2nd rep. Give Sonic his ol' buddy.

So in this sense could we expect Miis? What do you think??
