@goddog... Nintendo doesn't patch games. That and it is not a problem, just extra little scenes, why does it need a patch when it is of no use to the game.

I think from what I have read, it seems all PAL versions have the extra content anyway. but early NTSC don't have it.

Mine doesn't do the additional thing Blunty mentioned though, with the fielder picking up a ground out (no idea what that is though)

 

they dont patch ever? .... that seems arrogant. at some point they will slip up and ship something messed up (maybe not show stopping like tomb raider wii, but something off in it), and they should have a system in place to fix it. also why not offer downloads for the games, smash brothers seems like a game crying for downloads. 

 

Well doesn't patching invlove sending information to internet enabled consoles that would be stored on a hard-drive of some sort.

If Nintendo messes up they do what everyone did in the past, which is the recall any copies on shelves, and/or offer a free replacement service for those already bought... you have to realise patching is an encouragement to lazy developing, and even the X360 has barely 60% of owners connected online so it's not a be-all, end all solution anyway.

The only mess up I can think of that Nintendo made this gen was Super Paper Mario, which shipped with a word some found offensive in it (can't remember exactly) which they recalled and shipped again.

And I am mostly against any kind of download service if it costs me money, I want the game I paid for to be the full version out of the box.

 

why do you need a hard drive, you could use flash memory which if i remember right the wii does support, increasing the amount would allowed would just require a patch

 

true i do not like add ons charging money latter, but do you remember how much more fun crackdown was after its first free patch, you had the option of the second one if you wanted to pay for it. and yes it would have been nice to ship with it, but sometimes things happen mistakes are made, and thank god for patching to fix glitches, scew ups and what not

also what about exclusive content form premium versions eventually being free? as was the case for forza 2 where an email to turn ten, will get you the cars not avalible in NA, and the unicorn cars that were only avalible in small numbers over the sell market.

allowing for games to be patched is a smart move, and nintendos reluctence to set up this service will bite them in the end... 

and if you want to talk about glitches in nintendo games, look at mario 64, more than a few times, i got stuck in walls, through ground, or textures didnt pop in... that game alone kept me from picking up a game cube.... though battle tanx, golden eye, and others almost changed my mind... 

just so you dont think i hate nintendo, i love my snes, and still fire it up to play all kinds of rocking games, even my super scope 6. sadly my NES is dead, need to buy a new one, but i do have all stars  for the snes, so i can play the all time greatest mario .. mario brothers 3. I have an original game boy somewhere around my house, though i only know where the tetris that came with it is. had a wii, but gave it to my little sister as she enjoyed it more than me (shes 5, and loves the tennis game on sports)
