Video game article dump thread

[Erik_Twice]

A good piece on exactly where these "corruption problems" in the game industry actually exist.

I can't help but think that this controversy is being upheld not so much by concerns of corruption as it is by the clear disdain if not outright hate and dimissial most game journalists have of game bloggers and Youtubers.

I can't be the only one who noticed that the very same sites that declined to report on Ubisfot giving out tablets to journalists at a Watchdogs preview event are now oh ,so concerned about their competition being corrupt.

To me, this the about kettles and pots.

The Wii U GameCube controller adapter sounds promising, right? And yet, here are 10 reasons it probably won't see much use beyond Smash Bros.

Yeah, but it sounds promising because it let's me play Smash Bros

I would also argue that buying PC ports was probably more relevant back when the SNES was around since it wasn't likely you had both a good PC and a current-gen console.

But still, he's more than right that Nintendo dumps acessories all the time

Seriously though, this sucks for our Brazilian board members.

My guess is that most people go through the grey market there anyway. The legit market stuff there is ridiculously expensive. At least, based on talking to Brazilian folks I played FFXI with back in the day, and joking about when the PS2 was officially released there. For nearly $500USD. In 2009.

Majora’s Mask 3D And Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Outselling Their Predecessors In The West

This is somewhat nice and sad news, in one hand is great that MH4U sould out more, since this will show capcom that you don't need to sell a million copies of a game if it is good and has good word of mouth. It is sad because majora's mask a port/remake of a 14 year old game outsold link between worlds that it is semi sequel/brand new game.
