I'll be picking up my copy of Mario Tennis Aces in just a few hours. I was going to buy it digitally but since I can get it physically for the equivalent of ÂŖ38 and a day early, it's a no brainer.
@1UP_MARIO I popped in to my local game shop to see if they had it in stock and if so would they sell me it.Rules aren't so strict in Thailand
They said it won't come in until this evening but I can go collect it then. The guy just phoned me an hour ago saying they have it already so I'm on my way to get it now.
@1UP_MARIO Cheers. Yep it's a beautiful country. I've lived here for nearly 9 years now.
Mario Tennis is superb! Just played Donkey Kong on a forest court with Piranha plants in the middle and it was great fun. Such a good looking game too.
@JaxonH Knowing a game is a port isn't ground breaking. On most systems older games brought forward from a prior system are identified as such and often sold at a reduce price. Even Nintendo typically does this. Separating new content from rereleased content just makes sense. It's not like Steam (or increasingly, XBox), where a game from 2008 is still as viable today as it was then with no changes. You need to rebuy to play on new hardware on Ninendo and Sony, and traditionally both companies make that clear. I'm not against WiiU ports, but I'm becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the white-washing of WiiU's existence to pass off the games of that era as though they were Switch games from the start. It's subtle, and I understand why, but while I was ok with it for a while it's becoming a glaring, uncomfortable lie of omission. Bring the ports, it's fine. Even charge full price and justify it, it's fine. Just be honest that it's a re released, or update, or "HD Edition" or whatever title, not a new title.
"Funky Kong"
Yeah I'm liking the Funky mode (or was until I started Sushi Striker instead!)......it's surprisingly still quite challenging....just not "Soulsborne as a Platformer" that DKCR games normally are I expected to just blast through as a tourist to revisit the game, and found myself dying a lot as a result. You can hover, you can double jump, but it still wont save you if you fall off the edge or miss the moving platform.
@Grumblevolcano That's the way to do it! I'm sure we're going to see more adverts like it as long as Sony refuse to take part. Rocket League and Fortnite next.
There's no "dishonesty" in not plastering port across a menu for all to see. It's just not relevant enough to mention.
My name is Jaxon. Just because I dont announce my name every time I walk in a room doesnt mean I'm "being dishonest". It just means it doesnt matter enough to even bring up.
There's zero need to mention anything about being a port. If you already know it's a port, then you already know, so why bother repeating what's already known.
And if you didnt know, then you obviously didn't care enough to research it. In which case it won't matter anyways.
Either way it's simply not relevant. All that's relevant is the game itself. Saying they should "be honest" seems like pandering to the folks who knock ports.
In the real world, nobody gives a crap. It's not even worth wasting print on the back of the box. If somebody actually cares about whether a game is a port or not, they can Google it. It shouldn't matter and doesnt matter. And there's no reason or need to spell it out. If someone cares that much then they can do a 30 second internet search. It just doesn't matter and there's nothing dishonest about not advertising it on a menu or box. That's like saying "the game uses assets from another game, they need to "be honest" and plaster that disclaimer on the menu screen. What? No. Anyone who wishes to learn about the details of a game on that level has the entire internet at their disposal.
If it's not pertinent to impacting the actual experience then it doesnt need to be mentioned. At all.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions
Zachariah 12:10 (500 yrs before Christ)
They will look on Me whom they pierced
Once Crazy Justice is out that'll be 7 games that have crossplay Mantis Burn Racing and Pinball FX3 being the others. Pinball FX3 is flawed though as only Switch players can see Xbox players, they can't see us. Not sure if Steam players can see Switch players though.
Not a Star Fox fan, so I'll likely pass on Starlink unfortunately. But I am happy it's potentially gonna be the best version on the Switch, simply due to Star Fox elements being in the game. Good for those who want a new Star Fox.
Metroid, Xenoblade, EarthBound shill
I run a YouTube/Twitch channel for fun. Check me out if you want to!
Please let me know before you send me a FC request, thanks.
