You mean Metroid Prime: hunters? The Ds one?

No, you're not the only one, it was one of the highest-selling DS games when it was released.

if you mean the GC and Wii ones, they are among the most highly-rated games ever.

yeah i was referring to hunters. though the way ppl are begging for a 2d one, i assumed they hated the 3d one.

hey bortzanator,
How do you work for nintendo? are you paid well? Do they tell you gaming info only nintendo employees get to know?

I think he's playing with us. Plus how likely is Nintendo of America going to spy on us when they are busy doing other things than waste time here? Could you imagine the thought of Cammie Dunaway and Reggie Fils-Aime browsing GBATemp? I bet they're thinking "Wow, we could learn from these guys" if they went here.

Nintendo must not care too much, even if they are here randomly. If they were actually up to date, you would think there laughably out of date anti piracy page would have something that came out in the last year. lol.

They obviously do keep up with the most heinous (in there eyes) scene news though, as the recent wii firmware update would attest (their attempt to block the backup loader). Granted, that every fw they come out with to block something as a workaround in a week or less. So it's sort of pointless...

I would also love a 2D Metroid and an F-Zero DS !!
That would totally rock !
As for Nint3nd0 spying on us, for sure the login every once in a while, but there are more dangerous sites out there that actually provide roms and also some more dev. friendly sites with lots of technical stuff.
I'm sure GBAtemp is full of useful information, and it has a huge community, but still there are other places more worth to spy on then this one.
If they ever run a googe search they'll find this place right away, so I think they must have been surfing GBAtemp at some point, but certainly not for the reasons stated by the poster of this topic.

I dont think they are. I KNOW that they are.

Big corps that produce any media have, undoubtedly, taken to hiring people who surf the web looking for those who are pirating their stuff. Thats why YouTube-type sites for media take down © videos alot--they could/can be sued for allowing it to remain there.

By the same token, Nintendo has people keep tabs on the PRO-Nintendo/Fansites and stuff, they keep their eyes out for forming trends and things.

this

although, they obviously aren't too keen on taking much advice from hardcore gamers, i.e. Nintendo wi-fi, old games people want revived, stuff about Brawl that should not have been in there but is
Yeah they're watching us, but they dont care about us T_T...

They figure they'll give us a taste of satisfaction every two years or so--just enough to keep milking us. NOW they are releasing a DS that meets a very old list of "Wished For" features

I get back at them by buying more consoles than games, if you catch my meaning.

Well, I think there is someone who is here telling nintendo when a translation project is done and then just copyrighting it and sell it publicly =/
But w/e, I just feel sorry for the guys actually translating like noitora and darknemises

They definitely don't do that.

The perfect thing to email Nintendo if they ask if they pirate:
Pirate?! I don't have a boat and I certainly don't have any internets!

also, you translated TWEWY?

the more you say Nint3nd0 they will find this place lol **Keywords you use in your posts**
What the Nintendo are you talking aboot?

Now I shall replace all nouns with nintendo =D

When I was your Nintendo we didn't have Nintendo, Nintendo, or Nintendo! We had to make our own Nintendo with Nintendo using Nintendo!
But Nintendo, you have all the Nintendo you can wish for! With Nintendo being so easy, your Nintendo is so easy! Goddammit, you Nintendo's!

aren't I just a complete Nintendo? =D
