      Modern gaming fads are so unsustainable, unlike the classic material. I know for a fact I'll still be having fun with Video Pinball and Slot Racers 20 years from now.

    The sad put for as is that we grew up with this man! Jumping of objects, talking like him, etc! It bothers me because Randy Savage was like our hero!

    The US Department of Agriculture quietly announced on Friday that it had approved four Chinese poultry plants to ship processed chicken into the US. It's no wonder it tried to sneak that news onto the eve of a long weekend,

    The USPS is nice after all. Today in the mail from my local post office. I received my $20 back in cash after I left it behind at the window clerk when I had to mail a package. They used the return address from my package that I was sending in order to give it back to me and said "Mr.Durso, you left $20 dollars behind at the Pilgram station widow clerk"....... Well that made my day and glad that the world still has honest people!

    THE VERGE. 16 inShare Nintendo made an annual operating loss for the third consecutive year in 2013, ending up ¥46.4 billion ($457 million) in the red as Wii U sales failed to pick up following the holiday season. The Kyoto company's net loss was ¥23.2 billion ($228 million). Total Wii U sales now stand at 6.17 million consoles worldwide, meaning that Nintendo sold just 310,000 in the quarter ended March 31st — a 20 percent drop on its performance a year ago.

      Hmm - underpowered hardware with shit controllers, and more game rehashes than KISS re-releasing the same songs. What did they expect?

      You talking about the Wii U, Stephen, or the 7800? ;)

      I was shocked when I got a PM from him a couple weeks ago. Didn't think he was even on here anymore. Miss him at MGC. He's a had a pretty rough couple of years, glad to know things are finally starting to go his way for once.

    TOKYO (AP) — Nintendo Co. sank to a worse-than-expected loss for the fiscal first quarter on lagging Wii U and 3DS video-game machine sales.http://news.yahoo.com/nintendo-reports-loss-shaky-wii-u-sales-074542089.html

      yarjr

      Well I would say their projections were much too unrealistic than.

      The 3ds is still the #1 console in terms of sales and the WiiU has seen its sale increase anywhere between 200-700%.

  22. fdurso224

    Toru Iwatani is #1 Brother. Miyamoto is nothing compare to him & Gumpei Yokoi!!

      Well in China you never quite know what's legit. Even big companies like Samsung can get fooled. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2018/12/samsung-embarrassingly-partners-with-counterfeit-version-of-supreme/

      Online retailer Montgomery Ward still exists! Swiss Colony in Monroe, WI bought the name and went back to catalog/online only. Sears may end the same before long...

      The new Toys R Us can eat crap. It's just some venture capital vulture wearing the corpse as a mask. You know, like Atari!
