What is the statue is actually a stage hazard and will attack the stage


Swamp, are you talking about this text:

Iwata: 「子どもたちへのアプローチが十分ではなかった」

Basically "Our approach towards children was not satisfactory."
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I translated that with a friend a few minutes ago and that's what we got.
They've certainly targeted children, but they believe that is isn't really satisfying the public, WHICH I agree with. the Wii U has only really catered to gamers who can buy it, but it lacks a strong games list for many demographics.

I just would like to say one thing about the Roster Prediction Discussion Thread for now.


Locking it was not the best solution, especially if all it's content is just going to be directed somewhere else. Targeting the users who are the problem may have been a better solution. I am very disappointed.


That is all. Carry on.

Well, I just talked with Scoliosis, and he's actually not that upset about it. Turns out he was told about it a day ago that said locking was going to happen. Oh, and Noah is finally banned for good as he was accordingly responsible for a huge majority of said thread's issues. So yeah, Scoliosis is doin good. Man...I wish I could be that positive.

...Another thing I'd like to say is that this would be a bad idea to start going on about. We're certainly divided here and I don't want to start another damn war. I have my personal qualms with some people but I've became a very reasonable guy.

Thank God it was a mistranslation. They wouldn't be that stupid to make more child-friendly games (New Super Mario Bros. 42)
I stopped playing the NSMB games because it felt like a textured version of SMB to me; a game I've played enough times.

Whoa, harsh ban.
My condolences to Saturn's friends here. :(
Louie G. is not going to like this.
Well, the quote from Scoliosis from the mods was "they realized how detrimental he was to pretty much any legitimate discussion" and it's true. It's time to get over it, and now I can actually support Krystal without hours of our lives being lost. :p


As I stated before, the desperation is likely due to their losses.
Well, it'll only be a matter of time until Smash comes out, as I'm sure Smash will do a huge spike to the Wii U's sales, and also the 3DS.

You're next, Golden. You won't escape this time now that the mods have Wobbuffet.

Is Saturnoah really banned again? Doesn't look like it.

Normally, banned users would have "Banned (x) points" by the name, and when Divine was super banned, it showed next to his name as well, and the banning removed him from my friend list. (kinda harsh, actually)

Did something change with the fourms?

I think the problem Nintendo has is that it fails to release enough Mario games in a given year.

Honestly, I am surprised that a translator would make such a mistake. I found that quite amusing.

some things changed when the layout changed, that probably was a side-effect.

Can I please ask that we don't go into an arguement about a user who is banned? Because that's the thing that's a star pupil of being off-topic.

Let's actually talk about something else for once, please.

I'd rather see OTHER franchises get the spotlight.

And do we really need another mario party?
I think I'm done seeing new MPs after 10 just bombed horrifically.

*Internal screaming*

So... were people expecting a General Direct this month? Because they are every other month and we just had one on December, so... February...
I have no proof, but it's said that sometimes, at the least, Directs are announced a day before they release. In that case, I still expect one on Friday.

After seeing the NES days, nothing surprises me.
Cue the Metal Gear quotes. Though in modern times, you'd think that they'd have it down by now.
Well, translation methods have certainly improved since the NES days not to mention languages themselves changing. As well, the expectations of translators have certainly grown higher due to higher degrees and such. Not to mention more and more programs and courses dedicated to language translation. Translation is also pays very well. My fiance, who works at a business as the English Specialist, hired a Japanese-French translator. Her rates was $800 a day and they hired her for 3 days.

How about just keeping this place on-topic, because we just nearly derailed the thread. Now the translation thing is a far more intruiging issue. Let's talk about that!

Personally I believe the first one was wrong.

Certainly thought so. Translations are kind of vital in the world so we understand what others are saying when we aren't bilingual. Perhaps the dust will settle soon and we'll find which translation is correct.

Question for Mods (or whoever):

Let's say there's a character support thread that's basically dead, and the OP hasn't been active for a long time, is it possible to claim ownership of the thread? sorry don't know where to ask this.

OF COURSE WE NEED ANOTHER ONE.

Nah don't worry I wasn't serious, I'm still waiting for a new F Zero and 2D Metroid game tough =/

Edit : Even if I admit that I would like a Luigi's mansion U and Paper Mario Wii U (as long as Miyamoto stay far away from this one)

(although this makes me want to follow up with "this is the kind of thing a good moderator would do" I'm going back on topic now)


I really do hope they DONT target children more. they are going to have less and less profit if they keep it like that.

I'm just gonna assume nintendo is finally going to start paying attention to older audiences again.

"paying attention to children isn't enough" i'm gonna go with that one.
