Topic: Unpopular Gaming Opinions

Sorry for the late replies, guys. I’ve just been busy, doing good just busy.

@kkslider5552000
I’m sorry, I misspoke (mistyped?) what I said. I just had a mix up in my head, if that makes sense. What I meant to say was that I was hoping it would be like an enhanced version of New Leaf, and I felt that Nintendo did focus on the creativity aspect, but I also felt that the New Horizons ads did kind of make it look like it was trying to go for the Smash Ultimate route, with having the majority of the old features in, while also having a big emphasis on the new content.

I hope I’m making (at least) some sense; and I’m sorry again for the miscommunication the first time.

@Anti-Matter
I do know that’s why the series was created, but thanks for letting me know anyways. I also agree with you in the fact there were some features in the previous AC games that made the experiences not as good as it could have been, like villagers painting your roof for no reason, or not getting the hairstyle that you wanted.

Sorry to hear about your Raymond fiasco, it sounds like everything is fine now, though.

You can play Animal Crossing like the Sims if you want, but all I’m saying is to not expect Nintendo to treat New Horizons like The Sims, and the majority of people playing New Horizons (or Animal Crossing) will want to play it like a life sim. Either way of playing it is totally fine, and if someone disagrees with your Animal Crossing opinions (or any other opinions you may share in the future), you guys can just “agree to disagree”.

The reason people get upset at you with the opinions you share, is because if you share the same opinion over and over again, you’ll sound like a “broken record”, just like Lyle, and I know you don’t want to be a “broken record”, because I know that’s something that you really dislike.

The other reason that people get upset at you with the opinions you share, is because people think you’re wanting them to believe in your opinions, even though you’re just sharing your opinion, and you don’t understand why others don’t understand your opinion. I understand this, because I struggle with the same thing, and it’s something I have to constantly work on, and will probably do so for the rest of my life.

I’m saying these things to help you out, so that you can know how to handle situations like this in the future.

I hope I’m making (at least) some sense, and I hope that you have a good rest of your day and a good rest of your weekend.

7 is my favorite mario kart. I feel it has the best controls and course layout. Maybe i just havent got use to controls in 8 but it doesnt feel right to me plus im not a fan of anti grativy on regular stages. I like the f zero levels but dislike anti gravity on normal stages. I liked double dash but hated the wario stage but especially the rainbow stage due to its layout. I have not played mario kart wii yet.

The Wii U is a more complete Nintendo console than the Nintendo Switch, and I believe it will be regarded more fondly once the Nintendo Switch generation is over.

Games with Metroid in the title are usually better games than Metroid games.

The standard 2DS is the best handheld made by Nintendo.

@I-U
"The Wii U is a more complete Nintendo console than the Nintendo Switch"

Nope.
I think otherwise.
I found really hard to get more than 20 Wii U games that suitable for me but for Nintendo Switch, i have found more than 100 Switch games.

What do you mean by this? What makes a system "complete"?

...aren't these the same thing?

@I-U I have no idea what constitutes a console as "more complete" but the Switch is basically what the Wii U wanted to be but fully realized, and considering most of that console's heavy hitters now have either Switch ports or multiplatform releases in the cases of LEGO City, Wonderful 101 and Fatal Frame, the Wii U will probably never really crawl out of super-niche status for the forseeable future.

The Wii U has access to a majority of Nintendo's best games from the NES, SNES, N64, Nintendo DS and GBA eras, has backwards compatibility with the Wii and has its own library. The Switch has its library, I'll give it that the Wii U games that have been brought over have been better, NES and SNES. The more complete selection from Nintendo is provided on the Wii U. This could easily change for the Switch, but I don't think Nintendo is willing to expand what they offer of their legacy libraries.

Metroid Prime Hunters, Metroid: Other M, Metroid Prime: Federation Force and Metroid Prime Pinball are usually considered Metroid games in name only. I think a majority of those titles are better than the games that usually are considered "actual" Metroid games that follow the series' traditional gameplay structure.

@I-U Thanks for clarifying!

By this metric I'd agree...Wii U is arguably the best Nintendo console for legacy content. That said, I personally prefer the Switch by far. We're at the point now where Switch has basically every Wii U game I'd want to play, and often better versions of them at that. The portability/hybrid concept is a game-changer for me, and the wider library (Nintendo exclusives, third party, indies) is altogether the best of any Nintendo console IMO. Plus I find the Wii U quite sluggish, dislike going back to the Gamepad / Wii U pro controller, and don't have many Wii games that I enjoy going back to. Virtual console has yet to be topped though!

Haven't played enough of the series to have an opinion on this, but I agree that it's an unpopular opinion!

Recently replayed the GBA port of Sonic 1, Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis, because I felt like it. Sorry, I don't think this is one of the worst games out there. Yeah, it does have some bugs and its slow down problems, otherwise I enjoyed it as much as any other version of Sonic 1 I've played.

Though playing it again did bring back memories of playing this on the go, well before the DS collection or the awesome 3DS port.

@Sunsy Maybe by itself it's not as bad but considering the plethora of amazing GBA ports of older games like the Super Mario Advance series, the Final Fantasy ports, Tales of Phantasia, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Tekken 3 and Super Ghouls n' Ghosts, it just looks flat out lazy on SEGA's part, especially given someone would end up making a working prototype of Sonic 1 running much more faithfully to how it does on Genesis on GBA as proof that it was actually completely capable of being a good port

@TheFrenchiestFry It is the weakest compared to other 16-bit ports on GBA, just had some thoughts replaying the game recently. Yes, that fanmade Sonic 1 proof of concept is indeed amazing.

Scribblenautes DC, kinda sucks, I mean the DC characters are really cool, don't get me wrong, but I hated the fact that I couldn't use the same word twice or I would lose points, And I know its to push you to be more creative but the way it dose this, really sucks, Say if I wanted to make a jet pack, or a ladder, If I made a ladder, I might have forgot to make it big, and now its to small, well to bad for you, you can't use anymore words with the word ladder in it, or you going to lose points,

And say I i'm creative, I do said thing but I mess it up a little bit, If I go back to re-type it, I still lose points,

This was such an awful way to do the system, and TBH it shouldn't have been there to begin with, This is the game were you can do whatever you want, but now I got to feel bad for taking the easy way out.

It is why I have yet to finish that game to this day, it was just to annoying.

@Snatcher That sounds pretty bad honestly. Guess that’s where the series started it’s decline, with it fizzling out with the switch game.

@VoidofLight No kidding, the one of the wii u, and the app are waaaaay better, the one of the wii u being my favorite, I never played the wii you version but I played the port on the switch, which comes with well....the dc version,

For some reason tho, the switch port for SNU Has not nintendo characters, and they got ride of memes, but hey, can't miss what I never had.

Unpopular opinion: the 2DS is amazing, but the New 2DS XL is really bad.

@Snatcher By Switch, I was mostly talking about the most recent game, which probably killed the series. It was a party game of sorts I believe.

@VoidofLight Oh you mean showdown, oh ya that game is crap.

What didn't you like about the New XL model? I have a New 3DS XL and the visuals to me seem to get fuzzier on the bigger screen. My eyes have at times been bothered while playing, something that I haven't experienced with non-XL models. The Switch when I play in handheld mode sometimes plays with my eyes as well and I have to adjust at times. It could be due to me being near sighted.

@I-U It's stylus is too small, my palms cover the speakers, it feels like style over function.

If you see the New 3DS XL as fuzzy, maybe consider getting the smaller New 3DS (if you don't already have it).

@HotGoomba Didn't they only sell the smaller ones in Japan? I know you couldn't get them in America, and how people got a bit disappointed by it, because it meant we weren't getting the cool faceplates.
