Evil is Spelled "Nintendo" Update 5/17/13

Reblogged from gamerrob:

You know why sales for the Wii U have been remarkably low since its release? Because Nintendo pulls shit like it did today.

With the new Xbox Infinity and PS4 nearing release, the previously obsolete Wii U is becoming even MORE outdated. Hard to believe, I know. But heck, it's Nintendo, the company who gave me childhood memories, so why not shell out a little cash to support an old friend, right?
