yeah, thats great!
but I bet no politicians will talk about that......its, toooooo...positive.
as a gamer im happy for her! XD

RicardJulianti3923d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if this took a long time to get approved because of its positive nature. Which is simply ridiculous.

This is even better than when people lose 100 pounds doing Wii Fit or any of the Kinect exercise things. Truly a great story.

vishmarx3922d ago

SHHH.....games are the devil!!/s

cleft53922d ago

Yeah this really is great. I am always happy to see new people getting into gaming, especially kids. Gaming was pretty much my safe heaven when I grew up as a kid, so I am all about spreading gaming to as many people as possible.

Africa-Garvey3922d ago

Wii U is an HEALING machine!!!

rezzah3922d ago

Makes me think, if I ever lost my eyesight I'd probably resort to listening to "movies" of video games on youtube.

I'm glad that she was able to enjoy playing on a game console.

vishmarx3922d ago (Edited 3922d ago )

on a side note pickup your flame shields

Neonridr3922d ago

wow, I hope you never have a child with a disability.. or a child for that matter.

JuleyJules3922d ago

Wow! It's incredible that you turn such a beautiful story into such BS by bashing Nintendo and the writer who can now play videogames with his daughter who is nearly blind. Very pathetic on your part. I agree with Neonridr and hope you never have kids. Unbelievable that you would say such stupid things.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H93d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX3d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H93d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro3d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos2d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger883d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk773d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos3d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris3d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno20d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
