To sweeten the deal of the launch of the DS 3D, the first handheld 3D gaming system in history, Nintendo is offering free apps – tons of free apps. Nintendo has purchased the rights to all of the iPod Touch and iPhone apps, and is offering all of them for free with the purchase of a DS 3D. That’s right. All apps. There are more than 100,000 available for Apple’s iPods; everything from video games to voice recorders, to music sequencers and investment templates. The purchase price, if you were to purchase all these apps individually, would total close to a million dollars. Is Nintendo crazy? Nintendo already has the major share of the gaming market with the DS being the most popular gaming system ever. The company is betting the new DS 3D will eclipse the 2D DS by millions of units. They also plan to dominate the iPod market with the revolutionary DS 3D, and with such incredible processing power, and all free apps, there is no doubt Nintendo will reach its goal. “This sounds too good to be true, and it is,” warns Nintendo watchdog Bobby J. Hornoil. “Nintendo will give you all those apps for free, but they will expire in eight months, and you’ll have to buy them back at tremendous cost. That’s just long enough for Apple to go into receivership. Then Nintendo will have the monopoly on apps and can charge whatever they want for them. These people are bastards,” Hornoil screams. Nintendo says they have no such plans. They claim Hornoil is mentally unstable. According to Nintendo, Hornoil still lives at home with his pappy even though he’s 54, and has wound up in the hospital on numerous occasions for injuries resulting in unlawful unnatural acts with toasters and blenders. Nintendo says they are not trying to discredit Hornoil, but photos of him attempting to pilot a cardboard UFO are posted on its website. “Of course people are going to believe Nintendo,” Hornoil scoffs. “They bring you all kinds of fun, and I’m just some crazy nut. As if I would try to fly a cardboard UFO, again.” |
