Guys. This is one small ass issue that will most likely be fixed very shortly. This is not a reason to not buy Smash and this is certainly not as bad as the issues MCC or AC are having. I think everyone is blowing this way out of proportion. We don't even know if it's widespread!


Wait, I don't get it. How is this not as bad? I bought Halo and was quite disappointed that the online was broken but I could just put it away till it got patched and played something else. Here in this case, some people are getting bricked consoles preventing them from playing anything on their Wii U. Regardless of how widespread it is, things like this should never happen.

I know for certain I will be waiting for a patch to come out before I touch Smash.


Wait, I don't get it. So there wasn't a reason to start believing that somehow this error that was affecting a very small amount of people propelled Smash to the same level of brokenness as Halo MCC, Driveclub, and AC?

You weren't the only one, but I think we can all agree that a lot of people were FISHING pretty hard to find some groundbreaking bug with Smash. Maybe to try and prove a point? Maybe because some people are upset that these huge studios are releasing broken as hell games, so these same people want to assume that if these studios are having trouble releasing working games, then everyone, including Nintendo, must also be having trouble? I'm sorry. Maybe my fanboy is peeking out right now, but it's like everyone WANTED Smash to be broken. Everyone on this thread was so happy to assume that this error (which we hardly knew anything about) was an absolutely devastating issue with the game and made it virtually unplayable.

I just think people were trying to strip Nintendo of its one, indisputable, positive quality: its game making. Yes, Nintendo blows at marketing, they blow at getting third party developers to publish on their console, they blow at making their hardware look impressive. THEY ARE STUCK IN THE PAST! But they are good as shit at making games. You don't even have to say these games are fun! You don't even have to say that these games are good! But you do have to say that Nintendo releases polished products time after time after motherfucking time. So let's give credit where credit is due in this mess of a game industry. Maybe instead of advertising the shit out of a game, developers should spend that money on testing and debugging.

Rant over.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.
