Nintendo, as SHIT as they've become, was the LAST company I expected to pull this shit. And Nintendo fans think this is good!!!

If you decide to download Wii Sports Club, you'll be given 24-hours of free access to the available games. Once this runs out, you'll be able to buy a Day Pass from the eShop for $1.99/£1.79 that'll allow you to play all the activities for another 24-hour period, or you can buy permanent access to individual activities for $9.99/£8.99 a pop.

What the fuuuuuck.

This is some EA level shit right here.
Jesus.

Good thing I'm not buying a Wii U. Not that I'd get this, anyway.

And Sega now BEAT Nintendo on the bid for Atlus. Nice one Big N. You missed out on MORE 3rd party system pushing support.

Doesn't Nintendo pretty much own Sega anyway?

Eve Online is a really fun game if you're a masochist like me.

No. Thank God. They only have a temporary partnership with the next three Sonic games exclusivity to Wii U and 3DS (probably the ONLY decent third party Nintendo somewhat got a hold of). Sega's dick is too big for Nintendo's panties to contain. lol

These days Sega's dick is smaller than shit, though.

I can't think of a single thing in recent years that Sega can be proud of.

Plenty. 

Recent Sonic games (even the kart racer) have gotten extremely high scores and sold millions. With Generations hitting 3 mil. They've been making I read somewhere around 500% profits with significant leaps in stock as Nintendo and MS's plummets. 
They now have Atlus which will only help them since they have Persona and SMT probably the only relevant JRPG's now until KH III is released. 

They're still a juggernaut in the arcade scene especially over in Japan. That partnership with Platinum games didn't do bad.

As much as I hate it, Project DIVA is blowing the FUCK up in Japan and now it's starting to in America.

Company of Heroes 2 and Shogun have been doing extremely well on the PC platform.
And Phantasy Star Online 2 is unbelievably popular in Japan at the moment with only more of it and PSO Nova to come.

And just overall great pricing and business models that all companies should follow. I mean...when's the last time there was an article about a major Sega related fuck up? Maybe a DeviantArt thread? lol

Honestly, anyone saying Sega ISN'T doing good is an ignorant clown with a mindset stuck in 2000-2006.

Sega didn't make any of that, though.

They just published.

Sega hasn't MADE anything good in years.

Then if that's how you want to look at it, they've NEVER made anything good. Same logic can be applied to Nintendo. Same logic can be applied to a lot of companies actually.

Though AS publishers, they're still kicking the shit out of Nintendo by the basic principle of jumping on opportunities and not making shitty business decisions to fuck themselves and fans.

That's also incorrect.

Crazy Taxi, Sonic, Virtua Figther, all these games were brought to us by Sega's development teams.

These days Sega does nothing but hire out to random developers. They haven't made anything worth playing themselves in a long time.

...
Studios owned by a company usually make games anyway. The ones you named? Not made by Sega. Like Amusement Vision (now defunkt) was one I know they made F-Zero GX and I think Super Monkey Ball. Hitmaker (Sega AM3) made Crazy Taxi. And Virtua Fighter was developed by Sega AM2 and published by Sega. And they also made Afterburner Climax.

Sonic Team (who has made Sonic since the original) still makes Phantasy Star games which have been quite a few and the new one is dominating. They made Billy Hatcher. They still make Sonic games which sell millions and get high scores.

This isn't hard to look up. :<

But I'm not arguing this further. You can seriously look into it yourself. Sega's always been a publisher.

I originally came to show this. Where the FUCK has this been all my life?

Except yes, those studios ARE SEGA.

They are SEGA STUDIOS. Sega owns multiple studios so they are differently named.

That's like saying Rockstar North isn't Rockstar.

...

I'll bite.

You said at the beginning of this: 

"Sega didn't make any of that, though.


They just published.


Sega hasn't MADE anything good in years." right?

You mentioned games they used to make specifically Sonic, Virtua Fighter, and Crazy Taxi, right?
I told you that these games were all made by Sonic Team, Sega AM2, and Sega AM3, right?
Then you just said: 
"Except yes, those studios ARE SEGA.


They are SEGA STUDIOS. Sega owns multiple studios so they are differently named.


That's like saying Rockstar North isn't Rockstar."

Right? 
These very same companies still make:
Sonic the Hedgehog
Phantasy Star Online 2
Afterburner
Super Monkey Ball etc
Most of the recent installments being massively successful and extremely popular as told by sources such as Kotaku, VGChartz, SegaBits, etc.

So you just tacitly said, Lucy, that Sega still makes successful games themselves. .-.

I can't be missing anything here, dude.

NOW I'm done with the topic.

WroooooooooOOOOOOOOOOONG. Most of Sega's recent "developments," ALL of these were made by OUTSIDE developers.

The only Sega-owned developer that's done anything in recent years is Sonic Team, and the only playable things they've made is Sonic Colors, Sonic Generation, and PSO2.

And we aaaaaall know how A+ Sonic Team was in the past decade.

GTA V has a bigger variety in missions than I thought it would.

Speaking of open world games am I the only one who wants The Crew?


Like REALLY bad.

THE CREW LOOKS LEGIT AS FUCK.

Getting that BITCH on fucking PC. Gonna have a grand ol time. I'm starting to love Ubisoft. I never gave a shit about them past Rayman, but Splinter Cell Blacklist, the HOT chicks in Rayman, The Crew, what I am REALLY looking forward to Watch Dogs. Cannot fucking wait.

Next gen is on the horizon... I won't be buying on release day. Even if I did, the games cost like £55 off the bat, so it doesn't just end at a £400 console. They all want more.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist had pretty average looking single player, but the multiplayer looks incredibly fun.

I just want a straightforward stealth game. Something that ISN'T Metal Gear.

OH MY FUCK!!! October is in like a week and a half!!! 8D

Eeeeeh, Blacklist isn't going to be your game then.

It's probably the least stealthy Splinter Cell game yet.

I saw him hanging off walls and stuff and just sneaking up on enemies. Looked pretty cool. As long as it's as stealthy as a master sneak in TES or Fallout, that's all I want.

I walked in on my brother playing GTAV and saw him gunning random people down in the street with an AK47

His excuse was that he needed money for the strip club

I lold
