Way to fail Nintendo. Your new console is almost dead in the water and instead of helping promote the next iteration of one of your flagship games, you stop a grass routes community who raised $95000 for breast cancer to get your game on to the roster ? .

Idiots!

Edit: and now they have done a 180

Nothing to see here, move along

This didn't really warrant a new thread the matter was resolved in a couple of hours. Nintendo backed down.

I posted this 5 minutes after it happened, your giving me a ball busting 5 minutes after Nintendo pull a 180, and what if they didn't ?, were you clairvoyant enough to predict they would ?.

Whatever, IGN, Kotaku, Gametrailers and a bunch of other sites thought it was important enough to put on their front page, forgive me for starting a separate thread here. Doom will lock/delete the thread if needs be.

Calm the fudge down dude. This should have been a post in the Evo thread rather than a whole new thread was all I was saying so stop acting like you have been done a massive injustice. What is your problem that you took so much offense to me saying ''This didn't really warrant a new thread''?

Whether Nintendo backed down or not has nothing at all to do with this warranting its own thread :pac: :rolleyes:

I disagree about the EVO thread but whatever, its done and dusted and Im getting mental pictures about arguing on the internet and the special Olympics in my head, so lets just leave it ;-)

If you have a problem with a thread it is not your job to self moderate, please report the post and I can make a judgement on it.
