DevsChum 04/13/17 3:15:41 PM #6:	One time Nintendo built a house. They grabbed some plywood and started nailing it together. They didn't really know how to keep it on the ground so they decided to put a rock on top of it. Then one of the guys hit his thumb with a hammer. So they rushed him to the grocery store and asked for a paralegal. Despite being informed they needed a doctor at the hospital, Nintendo proceded to grab a floppy disk and rub it over his ankle. They were going to then return to building the house, but they couldn't find it. So they just discontinued the whole thing. --- http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/6457/rlonmaien.jpg http://i.imgur.com/7OKFr.jpg http://img846.imageshack.us/img846/8706/capturemo.png <cite>DevsChum posted [p:877129568] in Nintendo d...

KillerSlaw 04/13/17 3:23:24 PM #16:	Ridiculous. I happened to grab one out in a walmart in the middle of bum fuck egypt like three days after Thanksgiving. Ended up giving it to my sister for Xmas cause she wouldn't shut up about how bad she wanted one and is too dumb to figure out emulation. Nintendo is so fucking stupid why would they discontinue it when people are still clamoring for it to this day?
