>>>Good, the empire will not be denied and my copy should arrive any moment now>>>
You’re back!!!
>>>Yes, did you miss me?>>>
>>>Too busy with other-worldly chores now but I’m always watching the empire’s borders and warriors>>>
That’s good. Well, welcome back.
Welcome back, Commander!
>>>Thank you comrade, it seems that while I was absent, some PC Agent Narud is trying to spread its arrogance in our base>>>
>>>I’m still waiting for my copy of Super Mario Maker, these civilians are so useless>>>
The EMPIRE is Strong.
>>>Indeed it is and will be stronger still>>>
Hello! i miss u lol. it was awkward seeing that other PC Nerd. with your stolen name,
>>>Aren’t you adorable, stolen name?>>>
Ye he stole your name. he just puted”PC” on the beginning of he’s name. then copy your full name.
Welcome back Commander!!! And what do you think of the newly appointed Lord Kimishima? Do you think he has what it takes to lead us to victory?
Hey paidenthusiast come to skype.
>>>Thank you comrade, I will hold reservations until his first true orders take shape>>>
>>>He does have potential though considering his involvement with the Gamecube and so on>>>
I look forward to playing your creations, Commander sir.
>>>Add me: N-Commander, I’m too busy these days to remember…>>>
N-Dub you still peruse these here bloggerspheres! Joy oh joy, the shifting maverick still exists. From battles from yester year, it is nice you still keep Nintendo strong.
Salute to you, Gamer!
How’s the little family reunion going? You guys make me sick.
>>>Good and sicker you will be>>>
How dare you speak to me in such a disrespectful manner.
>>>No mercy for anyone>>>
That’s very true. No mercy, not even from Osiris.
||The Master Race is far more merciless and formidable than you all hope to achieve……
I made the observation, so if you want to hate on anybody for this, then the culprit is right here.
What are you talking about?
“Family Reunion” “Make me sick” I made the observation on his return and the “Family” commented about it after.
Omg I missed you-eerrrr.. hahaha almost got me
We have returned at the same time I see, Nintendo commander. My joy of our days with the likes of jtz and Vernonjamaica, danzaloog, Nintedward, those were great MNN bloggers. When logic ruled over trolls. Special shout out to Aeolus, ever with his wrong assertions lol. Great we are still here.
>>>Long time no see old comrade, too bad all of them are either corrupt or absent>>>
>>>That fake Aeolus is nothing more than a pathetic clone of the real one, but fear not, as long as me, you, N-Dub Nation, Paidenthusiast and of course my loyal team are here, the empire will continue>>>
Nintedward, being a great blogger using logic? I sincerely hope you’re joking.
>>>He is a traitor because he obviously went full Sonyan, also nice to see you again Namie>>>
Oh, didn’t know about that. But either way, doesn’t change anything about how I remember him, lmao.
And nice to see you too, welcome back.
I’m surprised you know who he is. Looks like you’ve been around longer than I thought.
I’ve been around longer than anyone here would think I guess, haha. I had been checking in on this website without commenting at all, and later on as anon (used names too sometimes, however without an actual wordpress account) for the longest time. Finally bothered to make this account only sometime in 2014 I think.
So I really don’t blame you for thinking that. :)
>>>Where you already here when the empire sent me here or was it after?>>>
I honestly don’t remember. I’ve been here for a couple years, and I do know you’ve been around for a really long time as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if we actually joined this place around the same time. :)
>>>Probably, I was here for about 2 years before I created my real name>>>
I think I made this account in 2014 too. Or maybe it was 2013. Idk anymore. Lol.
Oh, really? Feels like I’ve seen you around here for much longer, haha. So I’d think 2013 is more likely than 2014. :)
I remember Nintendward. Lol. I think I ended up friending him on my WiiU… I think I have Commander as well.
oh no your back. :'(
>>>Once I deal with the PC copycat, I’ll continue to torment you and the rest of the troll nonsense for my amusement>>>
You can’t though! Too powerful! He’s got the processing power of an i7 and Two GTX Titan Xs to blow you away! Lol.
>>>I’m one third Master Race, he can’t beat me that easily and besides, I’m constantly upgrading myself>>>
Just another person to verbally destroy you.
Also, nice 27 Unit increase for the Xbox One…XD
:'(
Don’t worry, I’m sure it will fall back below 200 next week…XD
……
And eventually……UNDER 100!!!XD
…
And STILL the PlayStation TV is outselling Xbox One in Japan!
why do they even try over there
By copy you mean Mario Maker? I am not sure if I should get Mario Maker or not? I still have not purchased Splatoon either. Which one do you think I should buy first? I have already pre-ordered Xenoblade Chronicles X.
>>>I don’t have Splatoon either and I haven’t checked Mario Maker yet, I just went to get it, I will try it tomorrow so I’ll let you know>>>
I ordered my copy of Splatoon too. ;)
>>>In your language that means MGSV>>>
Hah! How did you know?
Just ordered my copy of Super Mario Maker. Now, the wait……
Pingback: Japan: Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer Has Sold A Million Units In Less Than 2 Months | My Nintendo News
The New Nintendo 3DS XL and Wii U are back on top of the world!
Dat Mario Maker boost.
Double of last week’s Wii U sales. Seems about par at this point with a majorish Game Release in Japan.
Gotta love Best Price editions.
Never on schedule, but always on time. The WiiU selling at a profit, my my the 3DS has put critics to shame by always selling third parties and first party refined games with such ease and constant swell level consistancy.
Great web site you’ve got here.. It’s hard to find good quality writing like yours nowadays. I seriously appreciate individuals like you! Take care!!
Hillary Duff et Raven Symone étaient avant l’heure de photos torrides, des vêtements trop adulte et de boire avant l’âge de 18 . Attendez Jeu des éditions Année de titres phares . ” Le Conte de la princesse Kaguya “a reçu une nomination aux Oscars pour meilleur film d’animation .
Not a big supris it’s almost every Mario fan big dream
Also i was really surprise to see mister takashi and miyamoto signatures at the end of the art book
It’s very straightforward to find out any topic on net as compared to books, as I found this paragraph at this web site.
What’s up colleagues, how is the whole thing, and what you wish for to say regarding this article, in my view its genuinely awesome in support of me.
The haters were like…. ” Super Mario Maker won’t move Wii Us. It’ll probably have decent sales numbers but a system seller? No way. ”
I have one question to ask to these same haters…..how that crow taste? LOL!!!
I heard that Polygon are enjoying the succulent taste of crows.
And you would’ve thought they would’ve learned their lesson from their ridiculous Mario Kart 8 sales prediction. Obviously they haven’t….smh
That’s not what haters would say. A hater would be more like “LOL MARIO MAKER SUCKS. THE WII U IS A FAILURE”.
Wii U outselling PS4?
Is this heaven?
In Japan. Lol.

I’m still stuck on sold units of the xbox one. It’s like microsoft just say “heres the xbox one” then placed it the floor and walked away. I say pull the plug cause clearly the states matter for them at this point.
Then put them in the blender and blend until you get a smooth shake. Other herbs that may benefit those with diverticulitis include cayenne, chamomile, fennel, goldenseal, meadowsweet, papaya, red clover, yarrow extract or tea. Having all the natural ingredients packed in the Ultimate Colon Cleanse package, it can be seen as fairly easy program which also comes with 30-day money back guarantee.
And then you pour it all on the floor and take off all your clothes. Then you roll around in it for about 10 minutes and then run outside towards people asking them to lick you to see if it tastes good.
Sheesh PS4. Talk about a fall from Grace… On the bright side, I’m glad the Wii U and 3DS are doing well. :)
I enjoy what you guys are usually up too. This type of clever work and exposure! Keep up the fantastic works guys I’ve incorporated you guys to my own blogroll.
A big thanks to Super Mario Maker and the latest wave of amiibo for making me completely broke until October.
Quality articles or reviews is the crucial to attract the users to visit the web page, that’s what this web site is providing.
Thanks for finally writing about >Japan: Nintendo 3DS Sells 27K And Wii U Sells 20K <Liked it!
Yoshi’s Woolly World inside the top 20 for two months despite weak debut sales is a surprise.
MGSV sales crashed because of controversy over missing content.
And finally SMM is a system seller tier.
For most up-to-date information you have to pay a visit web and on internet I found this site as a most excellent website for newest updates.
You need to be a part of a contest for one of the most useful blogs on the net. I’m going to recommend this site!
Good to see Super Mario Maker is doing well in Japan, too. With Super Mario Maker this month, Fatal Frame 5 next month, Star Fox Zero in November, & Xenoblade Chronicles X in December, I see the sales of the Wii U will probably stay at a high selling mark for the next 4 months. Let’s hope the game droughts are over with. If not, the Wii U will continue to be mediocre at best for me.
