Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

Now you're just trolling or are profoundly ignorant on both.

You might as well be saying Nintendo 64 is worse than being violently assaulted at that point.

@kkslider5552000 nobody gives a crap about what I think, and/or too lazy to say something so I don’t think it’s that big a problem. But I changed it anyways, happy now? Also, take a chill pill, it was just a funny saying, saying i’m going to get violently assaulted is pretty dramatic

@Apportal

• With you on Sunshine. I don't think that's a particularly unpopular opinion though. It's usually considered the weakest of the 3D games.
• I don't see how paying $80 for a cartridge with 3 or 4 rehashed games is worse than paying $30 for 4 cartridges, each with a different rehashed game on it. I'm skeptical for that reason, Nintendo knows its fans can be cucked into buying them separately. Personally, I hope the rumour is entirely Fake News.
• Wait... you like the Wii, but think its motion controls were awful and ruined games? I enjoyed the Wii as well but didn't have a problem with motion controls.
• Differently coloured joy-cons are superior because they can be more easily distinguished from one another than monochrome ones. This helps with attaching and detaching them.
• The Switch Lite is intended as a cheaper option for younger or more causal gamers (people that only play Animal Crossing for instance), similar to the Wii Family Edition and the 2DS. Not something most people need, but available to expand the Switch's consumer base.
• The N64 had a lot of classic games (Mario 64, two excellent Zeldas, many great multiplayer games). I think its library holds up quite well.
• Agree on the Switch Pro, it's completely unnecessary. Any graphical improvement is going to be marginal from now on and a new model comes with the risk of splitting the install base. They should just stay the course.

Unpopular opinion.
I don't even care with any Zelda games rumor on Nintendo Switch.
I do care with not really popular games instead.

You're on the unpopular opinion's thread. You should expect some reaction to something you're going to say regardless of who you are. So you shouldn't get so uptight when someone reacts to your opinions.

@MsJubilee I don’t care if people don’t agree, I just found it hilarious how kkslider could react that way to one of my opinions, and even go so far as to say I’d be “violently assaulted” for it. Seriously? But yeah I could’ve reacted better.

@kkslider5552000
I honestly do not like with N64 machine and controller design. The controller design with trident shape and analog in the middle looks very uncomfortable to play.
In my opinion, N64 design was the worst than other Nintendo machine design.
Wii was the Best Nintendo machine design, came with White color as default bundle + White game box.

@Apportal the N64 comment seems like trolling.

I disagree with the Banjo Kazooie comment, whilst they are both in mascot territory the team work between Banjo and Kazooie instantly offers a difference to Donkey Kong. If we are just talking about their games then Banjo easily tops DK64, DK64 went over the top with the collectables and having to do every area 5 times for each character.

@jump I got rid of the n64 comment lol

I’m just saying the premise, areas, level design, and characters were very similar to DK64 and therefore was unoriginal.

@Euler I thought people hated sunshine, but then there were some people who said it was their favorite game ever. And it seemed most people loved it so I figured It as an unpopular opinion.

I just think an All-Stars is a bad idea in general, and I think a package like that would be really messy. I just want a 64 remake and then done.

I never said I liked the Wii. It’s almost as bad as 64 and Virtual Boy. I wasn’t a fan of the games and the motion controls didn’t help. I’d rather play with a controller then whatever the Wii was.

Thanks for your opinions!

That's a fair enough opinion.

Mostly because you didn't say the Virtual Boy is somehow better.

@Apportal N64 is easily my least favorite of the major Nintendo consoles as well. Hate the controller, the third party support was particularly bad, and while it hosted some legendary games, most of them have been bettered by subsequent entries in their respective series.

Yeah, I have fond memories of N64, and while I enjoyed games like Super Smash Bros, Cruis'n World, & Mario 64 back in the day, today I wouldn't choose to play them over more modern games (while I'd have no problem going back to play some of SNES's best titles, so it's not purely an age thing).

The one exception would be the first Paper Mario, which I'd love to play again.

Some more of my unpopular opinions...

Despite the bad rep the games get, I actually have some positive nostalgia tied to the Sonic Boom games. Mostly from playing the Wii U game with my nephew, and just exploring around in the game in general. Still will pop in the game and play it from time to time.

Genuinely, I miss cartoon tie-in games. Just saddens me that most of them show up on mobile instead of console or PC. Use to have fun with various Disney and Nickelodeon games during the GameCube era.

@Anti-Matter I actually think the N64 had a really nice, slick console design. I'm okay with the design of the N64 controller too. Nintendo was unsure about 3D gaming catching on, so that's why the analog stick was on the center grip. I only wish the analog stick was more comfortable.

As nostalgic as I am for the North American SNES, I'd probably say this is the weakest Nintendo console design in terms of looks. The controller's perfectly fine, but the system itself looks...I dunno, kinda cheap, especially compared to the Japanese/European SNES. Now THAT is a real beauty! The NA SNES still works better than the original NES though. Dang blinking light...I just wanna play my games.

I love N64 but it is absolutely the moment when 3rd party support fell off a cliff. Mostly because the PS1 was cooler tech that a lot of companies were interested in and AFAIK those companies were sick of Nintendo's policies at the time. They'd get the occasional port from these companies (outside of Square who entirely bailed and became more popular simultaneously), but they clearly relied a lot more on what western companies they could get on board.

Though while I do agree games were often beaten by subsequent sequels on later systems (it does probably say something that OOT is still one of N64's best games, but imo is a lesser 3d Zelda), I do think there's more that haven't been than you're given credit for. There's enough types of games that were specific from that era, and seemingly no one who could make something better were the ones still making games like them by the GCN/PS2/Xbox era. As someone who grew up with and loved the GCN, I never fully bought into the hype of ANY 3D platformer release on it, with the exception of Rayman 3 (which had less hype than 2 anyway). Maybe PS2 kept literally all the best ones, I dunno. And there's just a number of cool, memorable games from that system that AFAIK didn't reflect anything that came afterwards because they also had outdated elements, so I guess they decided to ignore them entirely instead of improve upon them. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater, as it were.

I'm going to echo the N64 controller dragging the system down. NES to SNES feels like a natural evolution. The N64 controller is unintuitive compared to its two competitors. The PS controller feels like it builds on the SNES' stellar foundation and the Saturn pad builds on the Genesis 6-button pad (and is still the basis for the pads I prefer for 2D fighters).

One thing to consider too is that a dev creating multiplatform titles would have had an easier time porting between PS and PC (or PS/DC, PS/SS) than with the N64 in most cases due to the space and audio capabilities the PS offered over the N64. This might have harmed 3rd party support in the long run.

Of course, I can still remember being blown away by the snowspeeder stage in Shadows of the Empire and having a blast playing endless afternoons of GoldenEye at my friends' house. I don't dislike the N64, I just feel in many ways it had some questionable choices and failed to innovate as a console the way its competitors did.

That's... not what they said at all

Well the similarities can be found in all collectathon platformers of that era but Banjo Kazooie came out before DK64 so surely DK64 ripped off Banjo instead.

@Dogorilla so what did they say? MsJubilee said I needed to not get so uptight when people don't agree with me, and kkslider told me I'd be violently assaulted for my beliefs. sounds like I responded to both of them pretty well.

@jump I totally remember Banjo coming to later. whoops. okay I changed my opinion, thanks for the clarification.

@Slowdive saying 64 was better then virtual boy was obviously wrong, but the 64 was definitely a bad console. I agree with what you said.
