Ocarina of Time 3D bug isn't actually a bug, says Nintendo

According to Nintendo, a bug in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D isn't really a bug at all -- it's a design feature.

 

While playing Ocarina of Time 3D, many gamers noticed that they were unable to connect online to their 3DS friends list. Nintendo has released a statement regarding this issue:

 

"Nintendo is aware that some customers have noticed that they do not appear online in the Friends List of their friends while playing certain software. Whether you appear online in the Friend List or not during gameplay is dependent upon the software you are playing. Some games, such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, will not simultaneously be able to connect to Wi-Fi through Nintendo 3DS. This is a design specification, not a bug or malfunction."

 

I've had this happen to me several times with the game. There's nothing to do on the friends list, but it's still annoying regardless. I have a hard time believing that it's not a bug.

It would be easier to believe if this wasn't a game ported specifically to the 3DS. If it were DSi/Ware game then it might be an easier pill to swallow.

Kinda pointless to bother with appearing online while playing a single player game. Until there are features like pictochat or other friend interaction software you can use during a game or more specifically a single player game then it really shouldn't mater if you appear online or not.

Oh! So that explains it! I was wondering why my battery was lasting so long lately. It's because WIFI isn't working.

That kind of pisses me off then. I'm still trying to get more puzzle/board/picture (whatever the hell they are) pieces and when I play a game I leave it on/paused. After going to a full week of baseball games I though FOR SURE I would pick up more Miis. Nope, not a damn one and THIS MUST BE WHY!

Ugh....

Why even launch a game and pause it? You can just put the system in standby from the main menu. If I wanted to receive messages for my Wii, I wouldn't start playing Twilight Princess and pause it. There is no need or reason to include that step.

That's a joke right? Turn on a game and play it. Then close the lid. Then open it and play it. Then close it. Then open it and play it.

Not all games allow you to save exactly where you are to be able to turn the game off.

Yup, you can thank crait for that. He has specifically stated that he created 10 (then went on to say 8) accounts so he can trash the rating system.

You're a fucking lier.
I specifically told him I would only rate down DeltaDAWG with my other accounts. He's doing this to everyone except me and trying to say it was me. He only does it to articles I post in. He's trying to get people to be mad at me.

Riiiiight. Because I'm the douche that created 8 accounts like a damn child. You keep telling yourself that.

It doesn't matter what you do, you'll never dig your way out of the hole that you just keep digging further and further into.

By all means, keep acting like this. You'll only piss more and more people off.

He's like a child with chocolate on his face. He calls you a liar and simultaneously gives us all -5.

I'm not doing anything. It's all you and I really don't care if people get mad at me for it. All I have to do is explain that it's you. You think you have 'proof' that it's me. All I've said is that I'm going to downvote you and only you, but I stopped. Why should I be wasting all of my time when you can just waste your own time?

Well, that's it. Proof that he's not doing it. He said he isn't. Surely, we can trust his word.

I don't understand if you're being sarcastic or not. I have no reason to go around and rate everyone down. I've said many times that I don't care about the rating system.

Check it out, YET ANOTHER LIE!!!

crait - "I've said many times that I don't care about the rating system."

Yet on this other page he says - "It's sad that this retard has to go around and do this. Pisses me off to no end."

So he doesn't care but at the same time it pisses him off....

Wow! 8+ accounts and he lies. Gee, who could possibly be doing this???

It pisses me off that you're trying to get people to fight and that you're trying so hard to troll.
I don't have to care about the rating system to be pissed off that you go around and do whatever you want and try to start whatever you want with people. You get away with flaming and trolling. That's what pisses me off.
So, please, tell me how those two statements do not perfectly coexist.

The comment rating system is rigged. That is obvious. Why does anybody care? Deltadawg has been giving me -4 ratings forever. Why is there even a comment rating system? All I ever see is 0, -4, or +4 with minimal variation. Stop complaining an visit a better run site.

He knows what he does to start shit. He tells me, "Who have I ever rated down with multiple accounts? Who have I ever harassed?" I brought up your name. Funny, though, he said you stopped coming to the site.
