Oh lol. I couldn't tell, though now that I read it again, it does look like a joke.

Most of my friends who I was likely to play with are US-based. I think it's pretty reasonable to not buy the game if I can't play with them, no?
I wonder why? It's silly.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
What a WiiU day. I still find it dumb the 3DS version doesn't have online, hence why I'm skipping this entry entirely. You can't show me MonHun4 releasing just a couple months later and then serve up japanese leftovers from last year and expect me to shovel them down regardless.

Nintendo is really clueless, I think they'll be forced to exit the console race soon(not handheld). It was meant to be a hardcore console, it's not even close, and most of the casuals are playing on their tablets and phones now-days. They really should have forced Capcom to include online (3ds) and region free (Wii U) if it's Capcoms fault, Nintendo paid for the exclusivity after all.

That's not what you said.

What?
I think Nintendo should make a console with the best specs and they should make 3rd parties put every good game on the console and they should give people free games and unicorns and everything
ok.
I'm sorry for not explaining the intricacies of my online gaming social situation to you. Do accept my most humble apology.
..Because a really niche game has strict online?

Accepted, but please don't do it again!

Ha, that is really bad. And Ninty used to be so good about this on their portables.

If coop net-code is so important that multi is region-locked, how the hell does fighting games manage.
You would of thought Capcom would be kings of net-code with all their experience.

This isn't surprising news in the least. Capcom, just give us off-TV play! You've already cannibalized sales by releasing 3Ds and Wii U versions at the same time. You may as well make the Wii U version sweeter since few people will care for the 3DS version due to its lack of online play.
I think it's ShockingAlberto.
Before I update the OP with the Capcom thing, can someone clarify the reliability of this for me?
It's not that I doubt him, but a tweet from him is hardly an official confirmation is it?

Of course not, it just my reaction to everything that is happening with the Wii U at the moment(if you have seen the other threads), this just adds more fuel to the fire.

It's not and I regret using the phrasing "for the record." There's no real record to put it on.
I will say I was told about this a few weeks back and heard the same "Well, it's just like Tri" stuff then, too. I tried finding out reasons, but didn't get anywhere.
I'd say today was an awful day to be a Wii U fan (today was the only bad Wii U day from what I can call from this week), yesterday was a awful day to be an Xbox fan if those rumors are correct...I wonder if this means what I think this means.

Nintendo's constant fear of feeble American Children being terrified by the strange moon runes used in other parts of the world.

Maybe they don't want to annoy the Japanese players by having dirty gaijin peasants ruining their game?

Well, yesterday Wii U lost Ninja Gaiden: Razor's Edge.

For the record, the good Andrew Alfonso (Project Manager for Capcom's localization department) told me and Likchan on Twitter that:
Take that as you will.
Take that as you will.
Demon's Souls is famously region-locked, but given that the server situation for that game is split between three different publishers, it's a bit more understandable.
Exactly
Yeah but I don't think that would of really hurt the Wii U, I think people that have Ninja Gaiden 3 have it now, and for the people that don't have it and the Wii U might pick up the PS3/360 version.
I mean, the Wii U isn't the only new system to lose exclusives.

It was the same on Tri and it sucked. You finally get into a room with the quest you wanted and nobody speaks English... Another reason to regret not importing my wii U.
