now that i think about it, was the campsite rv update/the harvey update in new leaf some kind of social experiment by nintendo? it’s kind of strange that they updated the game 4 years after it released. was it to test if people came back to the game or were the testing how people would react to nook mile tickets because meow coupons were kind of like the same thing.

It was to test the waters with the amiibo cards they released at the same time. Which they ended up deeming not good enough to continue due to sells, but fulfilled this lack of sells themselves by printing so few.

Yeah, I don't get why they printed so few even though it was an "experiment" obviously they sold well... And people ended up doing scalper price for the "popular" villagers. Or Ninty just like creating chaos lol.

I mean this is just a Nintendo thing. They always create artificial shortages. Fire Emblem Awakening was hit hard when it came out. I was thinking about picking it up, but everywhere online and instore was out of stock so I just gave up and forgot about the game. I think I asked for Link Between Worlds for my B-day instead.

Same thing for Pikmin 3 on the Wii U. I didn't pick it up the month or so it was released and when I checked, same problem. I eventually found it for a decent price, still pretty steep 2 years later. Then in 2016ish, a year later, they released it as a Nintendo Select...I hate them sometimes.

Nintendo makes a lot of illogical decisions and is easily leaving money on the table. The demand for some products is there and I don't know why they simply couldn't do that. And let's not get started with copyright takedowns of soundtracks on Youtube. How else are we going to listen to them? If Nintendo does that, then they should provide some sort of alternative.

Yep. Why do they think goes yarr matey and pirates stuff or just make their own amiibo cards? Sometimes I don't really get their mindset...

Don't give them any ideas. They'll make NSO🎵+ which will cost $30 more and will only have a few handselected ones.

Oh dear, I never thought of that. I assumed that they could just put the soundtracks on Spotify as an option, but yikes. Wouldn't be a surprise if they did, though, as if we don't pay enough for the shoddy services already.

Yeah it still pains me to get NSO now, we pay $20 for literally 3DS and Wii U servers...

It's actually worst. At least where I am concerned. With Smash and AC both were downgraded as far as multiplayer goes.

Yeah the connection is unstable af, you literally have to sit next to your router to play it, like couldn't they built in better connection lol
 
It's crazy how fast time flies. It feels like just yesterday when the latest Dog Man book was Brawl of the Wild (6th book in the series). And by then there's four more main books and three spin-off books. I'm also wondering how the heck Dav Pilkey (creator of Dog Man and other fantastic novels) made a total of 13 Dog Man books in the span of five years.

I usually like carrots but this juice was.. just no. I'd rather just eat a carrot and drink water, lol.

I am kind of late, but I heard of a person (IRL) who was forced to drink carrot juice all the time as a kid, and her skin turned orange-ish.
 
I always pinch/fiddle with my eyebrows (I don’t know how to accurately describe this). I should stop it because they’re barely there anymore, lol.

Huh? What do you mean pay $20 for 3DS servers? I've played Pokemon X online and I didn't need to pay money, do you mean for smash servers or something?

They're talking about the fact that Nintendo Switch Online costs $20 a year, and does not add anything of great value compared to the online servers for the 3DS and the Wii U. Whereas online for the 3DS and Wii U was free.
 
i can’t believe it’ll be 3 years since i’ve joined tbt next month
