        >>>Yes, did you miss me?>>>

        >>>Too busy with other-worldly chores now but I’m always watching the empire’s borders and warriors>>>

          1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

            >>>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>>>

            1. 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?

              1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

                >>>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>>>

          2. 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.

                    1. PC Master Race Agent Narud

                      ||The Master Race is far more merciless and formidable than you all hope to achieve……

                  1. “Family Reunion” “Make me sick” I made the observation on his return and the “Family” commented about it after.

    1. 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.

      1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

        >>>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>>>

        1. HollowGrapeJ (The Legendary Video Game Master And Anime Wizard)

          I’m surprised you know who he is. Looks like you’ve been around longer than I thought.

          1. 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. :)

              1. 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. :)

            1. HollowGrapeJ (The Legendary Video Game Master And Anime Wizard)

              I think I made this account in 2014 too. Or maybe it was 2013. Idk anymore. Lol.

      1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

        >>>Once I deal with the PC copycat, I’ll continue to torment you and the rest of the troll nonsense for my amusement>>>

        1. HollowGrapeJ (The Legendary Video Game Master And Anime Wizard)

          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.

    2. 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.

      1. Nintendo Tetrarch Quadramus-NX

        >>>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>>>

  2. 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.

  3. 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 .

  4. 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!!!

      1. And you would’ve thought they would’ve learned their lesson from their ridiculous Mario Kart 8 sales prediction. Obviously they haven’t….smh

    1. HollowGrapeJ (The Legendary Video Game Master And Anime Wizard)

      That’s not what haters would say. A hater would be more like “LOL MARIO MAKER SUCKS. THE WII U IS A FAILURE”.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. Xenoblade Master Ridley X3

    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.
