Nintendo thinks I'm retarded?
Half left \| 11:47 AM on 07.11.2008	27 comments

I recently bought a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy along with it. Having just finished the game today I decided to peruse the instruction manual for tips and tricks etc. That's when I came across this little gem.

I'm aware this must be old to everyone but still. How simple do they think I am?

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

HAHAHHA!! Nice.

Very, very simple...they already got your money, what do they care about offending you? :D

Well you know these hardcore gamers can't keep up with the simplification of gameplay. Nintendo simply offers them the over complication that they're used to.

Thought it was obvious.

Zombutler

FINALLY!! I have wanted to play for so long, but no one would explain it to me....

RonBurgandy2010

Yes. Yes they do.

RonBurgandy2010

No, they think you're retarded because you bought a Wii. Play about two more games then don't touch the thing for about 6 months. Mark my words. I hate my Wii.

Except for porn.

I only have two games, brawl and galaxy. Will get kart when they have it in stock. Then it will collect dust forever.

RonBurgandy2010

Add a week or two to it's lifespan: get No More Heroes. And unlike getting the Wii, this you won't regret.

BlindsideDork

NO! NO REGRET!

MrSadistic

Yeah because you know, there is no way in hell that a family (or child) who has never played a video game before in their life, will pick this game up. I mean everyone should know that Mario games are for hardcore players only.

Damn straight ;)

The Wiimote uses advanced pointing physic most just don't understand.

Umm, everyone who owns a Wii has seen it used. Whether it was at a friend's house or the commercial on TV. Seriously, you think there was someone that that was actually helpful to? C'mon dude.

Most (read:99%) of Wii owners played WiiSports, or at least boot up their system, before playing Mario. Seriously...

Sadly, I bet some people needed this instruction. :)

LMAO, Pew!

Besides I think we are also forgetting the senile demographic here. They need constant reminders on how to work these new-fangled contraptions.

Mushman

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, good god that is funny, I seriously, why the fuck would NINTY regard even old people as that stupid?

glentennis

BluDesign

Point it at the screen is their intention. Not at just any random target shaped box, mind you.
