Well, it sure beats being murdered in a fake car crash.
RIP Virtual Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi.

Maybe the modern president of nintendo is afraid of getting murdered as well, so he tried to appease everyone with a salary cut
All joking aside, I doubt Gunpei Yokoi was intentionally killed, I mean he did create the Game Boy after all.
If he was killed, it was for resigning from nintendo the year prior, as opposed to creating the virtual boy in (i believe) '93.

Actually, if it wasn't for this story, I would have just figured that 3ds was mostly according to plan, and the higher initial prices were to avoid shortages, as with the wii. 3ds may be in real, don't-bother-with-it-at-any-price, DOA trouble.
Hmmmm I dunno. That high price did seem crazy, even to me.
I just assumed they were making up for the last 2 years of crap Wii sales.
You might want to be careful making post like this though... you don't want to be labeled a conspiracy theorist on AA now do you!?
I suppose next you'll want the undisputed proof Bin Laden was killed released?
Hey, Im kind sketchy on the Bin Laden thing, only because the government was so weird about everything. If they wouldve stated there was not pictures, I wouldve believed, but they stated theyre were, and said they would show everyone, but then didnt.
Also Obama's speech really pissed me off, it seemed like it was all his doing... and gave no one else credit, didnt even pay the team the $1mil DOA they had on BinLadens head... Either way, it all just seemed like Obama wanted to make up for the lack of change we got, in hopes for winning the next election...
You cant denie that they government was really stupid around the whole subject... after all, we did the noble thing and killed Bin Laden and buried in the way he wanted, when we wouldnt even let Sadam be killed in front of a firing squad like he wanted.
Sigh, not getting too political but I too saw Obama's speech and nowhere in it did he strike me as taking credit for himself. In fact most of it was praise for the ''valiant'' efforts of our armed forces. Besides keep one thing in mind, he is the Commander and Chief so he more than likely ordered the raid in the first place. I get the feeling if the mission had failed and the Navy Seals killed or captured, Obama would have been given all the blame by the Republicans. But enough politics as it is.
