I spent my Halloween at work last night. Everyone figured it would be a slow night at work because it's Halloween, but it ended up being busy as heck...Nobody wanted to go trick-or-treating because it was 29 degrees outside, and it was snowing. Tonight I have to remember to sit the clock back an hour. I know my phone will update itself and so will my laptop, but my wall clock won't update itself lol.

I don't know the exact date the new 3DS is being released but it's in like 2015. And:

There were lots of children on my block but only a few knocked on my doorstep. Gave them some pic n' mix I stored up on full of sugary gelatinous goods.

You're making me hungry now. I wish I went to get more candy. I had/have less candy compared to other people.

[Absolushun]

Yeah the new 3DS just has some tweaks. It's not another gen so it kinda makes sense for it not to come here soon because in Japan maybe people didn't like the features but yeah I'm happy with my 3DS XL.

 

[TheDragonKing]

I'm actually pretty disappointed. I never found a reason to upgrade to XL before, but the New 3DS has quite a few new features. Plus I really need a new 3DS because mine has a broken circle pad and L button (thank you, Kid Icarus: Uprising). Oh well, here in NA we're used to waiting. :/

more accurate translation: "we need to vacate the shelves of our old models during the Christmas rush before we can start selling the new thing"

Glad to see such optimism. Now I can be confident that Nintendo has the full support of the entire fandom.

Wait, what?

 

[Jb]

im not actually a nintendo fan. like, i don't hate them but I dont really like iwata's reasons for doing a lot of things like marking and region lock, in addition to getting with the times.

 

[Excitable Boy]

it's more that Nintendo's just incompetent in almost every area that isn't software development

 

[TheDragonKing]

I find quite a few things Nintendo does would maybe work in Japan, but not in NA/Europe. In terms of software they're great, arguably the best in the industry! But marketing and business, eh . . .

 

[Absolushun]

Lots of Pokemon products come to Europe before USA. What might the reason be, I am just curious nothing else? Is it because it's slowly moving from the Far East and finally into the West?

Streaming in Japan is better since they have really fast connections. Time to make an official Pokémon MMO. Just let 3DS stream the Wii U version.

I use the map that has America on the left, Europe/Asia on the right. So it'd be "slowly moving from the Far West and finally into the East?"

If it's on the left isn't east on the right?

 

[The Admiral]

No, east is still leftward as long as north is up.

Although technically, yes, Japan is west of the states. It's also east of us. Because, you know, sphere (roughly) and whatnot, but ehhhh.

 

[Void Ventus]

Unless my whole life has been a lie, the Earth is round, so the US can both be west and east of Japan.

Oh wow it's already snowing over there, I guess we are next lol or Wisconsin.

I do have to work on Sunday, sadface

Nintendo's marketing team really baffles me sometimes they really do, I don't want to start thinking about it because my head will start to hurt.

I spent my Halloween as I usually do. Watching my school face their rival in the Halloween Classic as it is called on campus. We lost as we usually do though. We suck :/
