Infamous isn't as good as I'd hoped. Only playing it while the #uncharted3 beta downloads!

Wow. Nintendo Life topped 1.4m visits during the past 30 days. 1.4 million. Thanks to all our readers :)

In which the world continues not to make sense

Bizarre Emails Sent to Nintendo Life and its world-beating sequel Bizarre Emails Sent to Nintendo Life — Volume 2 exposed some of the provocative, embarrassing and downright idiotic emails we receive on a daily basis here. From readers confusing us with the real, actual Nintendo to banned users wanting another shot at membership, we see it all here. Here's another choice selection of out-there emails for your enjoyment.

Can't hurt to ask

Dear Sir/Madam: I am a parent of 53 yrs of age and on a limited income with one daughter in grad school and just had her second book published, another daughter of the same age in law school, a son in California attending school to become a chef while fighting cancer. I have six more children who are all on a positive path. Some of these children were not born to me but to a mother who shot drug and any and all of what one can do with various drugs.The reason for this contact is to ask you if there is a way that you could send me a free coupon for the wii? May be some were returned for different reasons and therefor you cannot sell the system. I've always wished to purchase one for myself, the one whereas you can exercise using the system but I'd truly like one that each of my children can share during the holidays.Sincere mother (name removed)

Big in Belarus

I'm willing to translate page located at http://www.nintendolife.com/about to the Belorussian language (my mother tongue). What I'm asking for is your written permission, so you don't mind after I'll post the translation to my blog. The translation is intended only for web, no print copies planned.

Visitors of your website, who come from Minsk (Belorussia) will be the ones, who will read this blogpost, that's the only way to spread them, no additional instruments we can use. Every translation we ever do does not costs a penny for the webpage, which is translated. All we ask is to link back in whatever way you feel confident about it.

You can leave a voice message and I will call you back, if you prefer a call instead of emails. Do you prefer email or IM for contact (if any questions regarding the translation arise)? What instant messaging client (if any) do you use? AIM, MSN, Skype?

Out of our jurisdiction

Important issue that must be resolved

hi. under the chat box it has the "please note" thing and it says "spoke". a few other users and i believe it should be changed, maybe to "wrote". it's just bothering me

We waited and waited. He never showed.

I would like to discuss opportunities for connecting the Wii to a USB enabled fitness equipment and subsequent game development (I would need referrals to game developent). An in person meeting could take place at CES in January; is it possible to set up said meeting?

It could be anything

Is this for use in a regular nintendo ds and is it a game you insert into the unit?

Turn your volume down now

WHAT IS BETTER THE DSI OR PSP I HAVE A DSI BUT REALLY NOT ENJOYING IT AS I USE TO. WHAT IS THE TRADE IN VALUE YOU THINK FOR THE DSI. FROM YOUR OPIONION HOW MUCH YOU THINK THEY WILL GIVE ME FOR THE DSI AT GAMESTOP I JUST WANT YOUR OPINION. THX

A true classic

This next email came from a genuine professor of psychology and neuroscience at a college in the U.S.

HI,I thought I was buying a high performance version of super scribblenauts for the ds.The game that arrived says nothing about high performance. Does nintendo make a high performance version? And if so, how does one tell from the package that one has the high performance version. It is possible that the seller of this game sent me the incorrect version and I don't want to open the game until I know that it is what I paid for.

What if the hotrod was driven by a giant gorilla?

Why do they make games so damn hard? Cant you just have NORMAL games?It says to press 2 to jump, doesnt jump. Im sure as hell a motorbike cannot bump a hotrod in mario kart. Its ridiculous

Wii Fit vs. Doctor

My WII Fit Plus tells me my ideal weight is 140 pounds but my doctor tells me I should not go to that low of a weight. I started using my WII Fit Plus in January 2010 and my weight was 218 pounds I now weigh 149 pounds and everyone tells me not to try and go down to the 140 pounds that the WII tells me is my ideal weight. Is there a way to adjust the WII Fit Plus ideal weight to match what my doctor tells me is my ideal weight?

Top of our list of priorities

can u make a lightcycles video game for 3ds?

Hope she's put the fire out

Hi, I singed the sheet but my printer is broke and I have no stamps can you please activate code a126531 please.

More Nintendo confusion

I have a book of puzzles that I would like to turn into a DVD game that is like free cell or spider solitaire in that at the end of each puzzle being solved the clip art "comes to life" and bursts onto the page. Example: the stars on the page would multiply and burst like fireworks. OR the race cars would zoom around the track. OR the gemstones would multiply and sparkle down the page. Do you work with authors to publish them (the DVD game)? Do you work in conjunction with book publishers (the book of puzzles)?

I also have a card game, actually 6 card games I created, one of which is a new version of free cell which would make a great DVD game. Maybe we can work together, collaborate. If so, great, if not, do you know of a company who does this type of work? Thanks for your time and consideration.

Selling dogs by the pound

This next email came from a well-respected fashion and lifestyle store.

I would like some wholesale information on the Wappy Dog, do you please hav the relevant contact?

Causing sleepless nights

Hey, I was just wondering why Wonder Boy III for the sega master system is listed as an RPG and Dragon's Curse for the Turbografix 16 is listed as an Adventure game even though the latter is only a port of the former. Shouldn't they both have the same genre?

Thanks, we've been working on it

good word collection

Only in the 80s

Can I phone in a purchus for the c64 boulder dash?

We still quite like Helix.

Your site is so sexy. But, how do you determine the sexiness factor on a website? Well, I'm glad you asked, imaginary reader. The sexiness of a site is directly proportional to the quality of its content. Except for the WiiWare Helix review. How Moses split the red sea is a mystery, but how you rated the fraction of excrement Helix an 8/10 is something I will never work out.

I hope you continue to produce sexy content.

P.S: Terminator 3 sucks. Thankfully Salvation was cool

Ninja Warrior is on Challenge. Hate to say it but Stuart Hall's commentary was loads better. Still a great show though!

Koizumi left guessing

Nintendo unveiled Wii U at E3 in June without a single official first-party game to demonstrate it — attendees had to make do with tech demos like New Super Mario Bros. Mii and Zelda Wii U. If you were wondering why there wasn't a more concrete showing of upcoming games, it could be because Nintendo's legendary secrecy extended even to its own top employees.

Not just Capcom

While Capcom continues to take flak for the Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D save file debate, it's worth pointing out that it's far from the first publisher to use non-deletable save data on 3DS.
