Nintendo will live 5eva

Haters gonna hate on da king

But seriously nintendo has an absolutely epic first party lineup. Its the only reason people even buy their consoles tbh, because their 3rd party support is pretty bad (apparently wii u is changing that but im not sure)

 

[zombies]

Hm I just thought that Nintendo always had a strong appeal because it was marketed towards younger people/casuals etc.

I'm sure parents would rather a kid playing on the Wii (and getting fit and active, yay) rather than them playing some violent shooter/assassin game.

 

[mirakon]

Wii for casuals?

Monster hunter tri, donkey kong country returns and the metroid prime trilogy would make the average "hardcore" gamer cry

Because hardcore is a really stupid label and only wannabe12 year olds who play cod actually use it

 

[zombies]

Okookok Wii's are awesome and you are very manly for getting one.

But cmon dont you get what I'm saying!

Yes, Wii has decent games but it's marketed at a very different audience to PS3/Xbox360

 

[mirakon]

True. that is why I have a love hate relationship with nintendo

I mean they market all the shit games while the gems collect dust

But those gems....dayum

I might skip my first lecture to grab a DSi and Pokemon Heart Gold at Broadway DSE.

you guys realise that most stores would be at very limited or no stock. even if there is a chance there is some in stock, the employees will probably get them first. i've also heard that some stores would delay this sale until the 11th due to the massive hype but who knows. feels too good to be true haha

 

[seremify007]

If it really is that cheap it'll be long gone before I get there.

 

[zombies]

Aw I just realised that the Dick Smith online store doesn't even have the normal PSP.. only the budget version and i dunno if that one is even gonna be on sale.. ah well.

That's a good point.

If anyone's looking to buy anything on Monday, then check if that item is actually in-stock by checking on DSE's website.

 

[zombies]

Ahahahah funny kid.

 

[ShaxBOS]

Lol, I thought there was a fucking bug on my screen...but yeaeh, that sale is bollocks, doesn't take a genius.

Was talking about this during school. I got state swimming carnival some I might just pop out and run to the nearest Dick Smith to get a DSi and Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver . My only concern is that it's really close to April fool's day.

It was confirmed on the dick smith facebook page, of course it's legit.

 

[Examine]

Ok then I'm going to try get the online sale, then if that doesn't work after my race (10am) go to the nearest Dick Smith.

Check if there's stock before doing that.

 

[Sanical]

Does anyone know when online sale starts?

Do you think online buying will work? Because I think everyone's just gonna go in store and take the games.

 

[soloooooo]

It would be a terrible screwup on their part if it was an April fools day joke. So it isn't.

8am monday

I think that the site might crash, cos everyone will be trying to visit it.

As for buying online, I'm sure they have stock at a warehouse or something? And that's where the online orders would be coming from. Otherwise, it'd be really hard to keep track of how many they have left of each item.
