Nintendon't reports $926M half-year loss

The Big N just got a lot smaller. For the past 6 months, Nintendon't has been in the red with a hefty $926,000,000 loss. One would think with the Wii and original DS selling like hotcakes, Nintendo would be laughing all the way to the bank like they did in the previous years, 2011 doesn't seem to be the case. As of now, the DS is losing steam with all the rehashes on the market, Wii will be forgotten after Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword releases and will remain a shovelware brick for the rest of this gen, and 3D$hit wasn't the cash cow they expected it to be after receiving a $80 price to have a chance to compete with the PS Vita.

Nintendo is said to be taking a loss on each 3D$hit unit sold while the idiot in charge of the company (Satoru Iwata) is taking a 50% pay cut for his utter stupidity to overprice a weak handheld because some mentally retarded sheep gave it too much hype at E3 2010. Of course to get themeselves out this mess, as predictable as always expect Nintendon't to start add-on peddling and milking the same tired IPs with numerous spin-offs to boot. Only a matter of time before Pokemon Gray, Mario Party, Kart ,Baseball, Strikers, Paper Mario, Tennis, Golf, Sports Mix, Legend of Zelda 3DS, Majora's Mask or some other garbage they pull out of their ass hit store shelves. Early 3D$hit buyers will also have to shell out $20-30 for a fugly Circle Pad add-on because Nintendo always has to imitate Sony and charge consumers for "innovation".

Resident Evil Chronicles HD announced for PS3


I called it, I called it. It was only a matter of time before Capcom made the announcement years after Sony introduced the Move at E3 2009. This on-rail shooter collection will offer Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles with HD Visuals, trophies and hopefully 3D support on a single disc for $40 (and eventual PSN release knowing Capcom). Too bad the Wii had to lose two more exclusives that were the best it had to offer. Sony gives consumers another valid reason to avoid the Wii to game on a superior console that will do these two titles justice.

Now do you think the Move is a joke Nintenfags? You've already lost Dead Space Extraction, No More Heroes, House of the Dead: Overkill, and now this. Only a matter of time before this "failed" device strips the Wii of almost every good motion heavy 3rd party title it had. Move fans should be happy with this as their PS3 is almost at the stage of reliving the old light gun arcade memories at the comfort of your living room.

Nintendon't announces Circle Pad Pro

On.. who gives a damn. A while back Nintendo announced they will be releasing an Official Circle Pad Pro for the Nintendo 3DS. What is this bizarre contraption you ask? It's as the name implies, a add-on that gives the 3DS an additional Slide Pad and L2/R2 buttons. Sound familiar? It sure does because this announcement was made a couple of months after Sony had unveiled the PS Vita in January (codenamed NGP) and priced it at the exact same price as 3DS at E3 2011 for $250 (Wi-Fi model). This fugly peripheral is being bundled with Monster Hunter 3G in Japan set for released in December. To those Nintenfags that believe this add-on was created by Capcom, here's proof to shut you up once and for all to prove Nintendon't is behind it.

See? Why would a 1st party company file a name trademark for a 3rd parties creation? Proof you inbred faggots are retarded. Anyways, Nintendo obviously fears Sony's new creation and will do anything to steal its thunder even if it means imitating (a phrase often spouted by Nintenfags). It's kind of sad how Nintendo is defended for a lack of common sense while Sony's corporation would be burnt down for pulling such a move. This device is rumored to be "optional" but we all know that is BS. Reported games that will make use of this add-on are Resident Evil: Revelations, Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Luigi's Mansion 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and of course Monster Hunter 3G with more games to come. Only a matter of time before the second Circle Pad is built into the inevitable 3DS revision to 100% compete with Vita.
