Some of you might remember about a gbatemper which bought NSMB Wii ahead of time in Australia and posted the receipt here as "proof"... then admitting to dumping the game and sharing it online:P
The rest is all across the internet.
Well, it seems nintendo doesn't hold grudges and they gifted him a Ganon statue, which was given to Wind Waker HD pre-orderers in the UK.

I guess that ninty realized that the poor fella couldn't pay 1.5 million after all.
Or... he did and Ninty gave the statue as a "reward" for the payoff.

Expensive statue then...

kongnutz, kongbutz, kingnutz or whatever his name was didnt pay 1.5 million of course. But he isnt permitted to disclose further information. He is being used as a tool by nintendo to show off that they can get you.

"He gazed down at the enormous statue. Twenty seven years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the plumber's moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Nintendo."

I sure hope he doesn't have to pay that fine, I really really really hope so.
And it's so epic that he's still around here, I hope you're doing alright kongsnutz!!

    Get you raspberry pi5, and you can play gamecube, wii, and ps2 games also. Those won't
  • T @ Texasauras:
    did you see them on google? preloaded rom consoles
  • T @ Texasauras:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, i don't think my parents will get me a pi
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You can get older ones even like the pi 3,4 for cheap, but they don't play gamecube, Wii etc very well. Be warned they use a Linux os, which you need to load onto a micro SD card yourself. You can find pre built images like "retro-pie" online free tho which makes it easy to setup.
