DSiWare Back To Breaking Hearts This Week With... Clock

Oh shit, the Nintendo PR crew has arrived, and it's rolling deep

Yes, calling out the blatant lying, ommisions and crappy attitude in a post is PR... You're smart, mr Microsoft aligned.

Holy fanboys! Where did all these kids come from? Calm down kids! Nobody cares about how much you love nintendo! The point of this article is to show Giantbomb's disappointment that Nintendo is not releasing any good DSi ware, people seem to think theres some super bias hate nintendo business going on here.. and thats retarded.

First off, This Is Giantbomb, if you don't like how they feel about something because its not your exact oppinion. Then leave.
If you have watched the other DSi related videos, you will see that they have very high expectations for the DSi, and they happen to like it quite a bit. What they are trying to say in this article is that adding ANOTHER clock app to the DSi is retarded. Theres a clock built into the damn thing already, not to mention theres a clock on every other electronic device you could possibly own. They would much rather have some quality games released for them to enjoy.

Go back to the depths of hell you strange strange nintendo fanboys!

I personally think that the cat in that picture is quite cute, but paying for a clock app is retarded, at least the animal crossing one was videogame themed.. so it might get some more sales just because tom nook is a tool.

Hey, don't you have a new Wii game press release to create a thread about? Don't let my little flamebait hold you up

Lol, Giant Bomb PR squad wannabes. Pathetic as usual, ignoring everything said and going on a rant about "kids" and "fanboys" with nothing to add to the very valid points brought to the table by many users, most of which have helped this website far more than you given one is a wiki moderator and two others at least regularly update the GB database (no that's not me) and provide topics that spark rational discussions as opposed to flame wars. Nice try though, but first look in the mirror before you call others fanboys out of nowhere while ignoring their points.

What a waste.  Now that Nintendo owns everybody, there's not a reason to try anymore.

So is this a new thing, or a sequel to original Clock?

Yes, I totally asked for "dedicated news" whatever that means. I don't expect them to be interested in things I am, but I would expect them to not be interested in bs posts like this one and blatantly misinform people about the releases. No, the game isn't likely to appeal to you, or Brad, but it's fucking there, so no, a clock isn't all that was out as he states, and there are games coming to DSiWare, of which many more are available in Japan, and are slowly making their way here. You're okay with lies? What if the next lie is about something that does interest you? You're gonna be fine with that too? Well, you will, because you won't know any better if no user comes to say the information is wrong, and maybe nobody will if the users who do state that stuff are hunted as fanboys by users who clearly don't know better.

As for your comments about the users, I was simply telling you they're far from fanboys, otherwise they wouldn't be aiding a website that they feel has this anti-Nintendo attitude, so maybe you should take them a little more seriously than disrespect them out of nowhere as "kids" and "fanboys" without actually reading what they said or knowing anything about them. Now if you wanna respond to some of that stuff, go respond to that stuff, don't make shit up quoting my post that was made just to tell your attitude off, once again ignoring the things those users said and going all out with the straw man arguments about dedicated news or whatever crap you can think of.

God i love the Nintendo Defence Force, it must suck only owning a wii

None of the people you so pathetically try to insult would know what it's like to only own a Wii... And, this thread isn't about the Wii so... LOL, troll.

Those are the comments I defended them from, and you jumped to say they shouldn't be defended like that. So, it seemed you agreed with those comments and felt my defense was inadequate on top of that, though I explained very well the reason wasn't that if one user did good in the past he should be let off the hook in the future but something far different and far more valid. Well, glad to see that was a misunderstanding and you don't think they're fanboys after all and that there's only a difference of opinion here with you thinking it was an unfortunate choice of wording and them thinking it's another in a long series of posts that show a clearly biased attitude. Oh well, agree to disagree.

By the numbers:

North American DSi Releases: 18
Worthwhile DSi Games: 5
DSi Releases ripped from Actual (and better priced) DS games: 5
Free Releases: 1
Useful apps: 2
Clocks: 2

As it turns out, clock downloads make up over 10% of the titles available in the DSi Store. Meanwhile, every DS ever made has a clock already. WTF??

Are you Wii fanboys fucking serious? For fuck's sake man....Take a goddamn break.

I know should let this die but one more thing: Since day 1 Giant Bomb has said that they will report things that the majority of people care about. They're not going to report every bit of news or review every game, just what games and news that the majority of people will care to hear about. Now, if you care about Teen Pop Idol Bullshit 2, then maybe you should look to a different website.

 So people care about this clock more than they care about that game? Great logic there... As for crappy games, I seem to recall a post dedicated to them, so clearly people cared about those crappy games but not this? Meh. Nobody asked to report on every little thing or review every game. This post is about this week's DSiWare releases, yet disregards half of it. Straw man much as usual? Yeah, you should let it die.

when are they going to come with some actual games. they have a whole library of past and present games at their disposal.

and why wasn't this included in the system itself? If its anything more than $2 than your paying too much

I think it's time to stop expecting anything good to come out of DSiWare; it has been a joke since release.

Is anyone suprised about this?   Just look at the garbage that Nintendo puts out on WiiWare

Completely hilarious. Yet another clock thing that should be recognized as ridiculous by everyone, regardless of "allegiance." Yet I'm still seeing arguments. Fallout 3's slogan has Metal Gear Solid 4's beat here. War....war never changes.

Except the arguments aren't about how damn good the clock is or isn't (just like the OP didn't leave it at that alone) if you actually read them.

Short version: You're looking into far too much bro

Let's say PSN or XBLA one week released something as goofy as a clock along with a new game to their services, and a news post just reported on the clock-like program and didn't mention the game. It also said "If you were waiting for a new video game release on the [XBLA/PSN] this week, keep on waitin'.", "I thought you were going to start putting some serious games out on [PSN/XBLA]" and "I just want some games to buy at the same time."

The system thats being talked about doesn't matter as much as the misinformation.

Sitting here laughing a little now, this is pretty ridiculous. Perhaps Nintendo and "core gamers" can reach some kind of compromise though, they could put out a clock-based puzzle game.

I just tried out that Animal Crossing calculator today.  Buddy's an engineer and it has a decent unit converter.
That's actually a very nicely designed calculator.  I don't think it should cost money, but it's nicer than any default operating system or cell phone calculator.

As for clocks... yeah.  I'll stick to my singing fish, thanks.

Oh well lets hope no one buys it, so we can stop seeing this crap getting released. Though with the free 1000 points that comes with every DSi I can picture some stupid soccer mom buying a cheap app that she thinks she needs. To her does an Art Style game look more appealing than a fucking camera clock app. No.

Coming next week:  the Watchmen-licensed Doomsday Clock!!!  Will YOU survive until midnight?!

The game last week was awesome.  This is just garbage. 

They should release GBA games since it can't use the cartridges.

This is all Nintendo about now days, gimmicky shit, ever since the Wii I've despised them.

I'm close to being done buying Nintendo products.

Seriously.  The anti Nintendo whiners would have to be the biggest bunch of cry babies ever.  Some journalist comes in and writes a whole heap of poorly written crap that makes him 'cool with the kids', which in itself i so very sad, then out they come, from the underworld to declare how cool they are because they hate Nintendo and want to be noticed by the said poor journalist.  Wow.

This is the kind of thing that should be a feature of the console already... Paying for this shit?! Fuck no, i'll call the talking clock if I need the time.

Oh no oldschool! You mean brad doesn't like half of the crap on DSi Ware?  He must be a horrible journalist right, because he doesn't blindly love nintendo like you.  I have a DSi and i agree with brad, aside from picobits and aquia, there's nothing really worth your money.  Basically just the art style games.  But keep in mind that's my opinion, something that everyone has.  And some people might have a different opinion than you from time to time.  Just thought I`d let you know.
