I like the comic. Of course I'd have to side with Nintendo because Rovio can suck it. Angry Birds = Prettier Crush the Castle, look it up. Also Crush the Castle 2 came out a little while after Angry Birds and has everything Angry Birds does and a whole lot more.

The last sentence is hilarious though, because it describes both of the companies. At least Nintendo also has its core franchises though, which will probably always be great. As long as Nintendo makes them of course...

And as for the style of the comic, what's up with her lip in the last panel? I'm quite fine with it, makes her look more attractive and whatnot, but it's just appeared out of nowhere. I guess when you start "touching up" a character, people will probably be surprised by anything new. But I like it.

The 3DS came out not too long ago. If you ever felt that your portable gaming device's battery lasted far too long, and would rather trade in reliability and...portability, for shallow 3D effects that work if you're holding the device at a specific distance and angle, has Nintendo got a deal for you!

And any time someone mentions Mario Party, my palms feel blistered.

To be fair, I think they finally realized that Mario Party was a dead industry 4 years ago. That said, 2 and 3 were alot of fun.

Most of the time the shovelware crap is third party, but Nintendo does have their whole 'wii party' 'wii resort' and all that stuff.

Ok i love the writing and drawing done in this comic but please get rid of Erin's bottom lip, it just looks so awkward. I respect the artist trying something new but i mean... ew.

Gotta love a good slapfight. And since it's over what is ostensibly shovelware, let's get them shovels. Rovio deserves a good whack for making a flash game and pretending it's the shit, while Nintendo deserves a good whack for releasing My First Kirby Kirby's Epic Yarn and pretending to target the Kirby-loving audience. They are granted a free whack to Rovio for both galaxies and DKCR, however.

Didn't Hudson Soft make the Mario Party games for Nintendo, or have I gone daft?

Also, I have never understood how fair competition at a lower price can "ruin" an industry.
It can, but an accurate explination is beyond me. I just trust the guys who research it.

Maybe because in order to compete with the indies nintendo would have to stop making wii's and only be a 3rd party game maker. That would cut enough job's a production costs to rival someone who's platform is made and sold by another company and who's publisher is a different company, and really he's only paying like 2 people and for the software he bought for his computer.

Again though that's just a guess. I don't really know
