Yeah, I guess so.

Still sucks, though.

Go team!

Good writing, Dom.

Great article!

About...

@DrRandle

What would their shortcomings be?

@OnBeingHuman

I hope you're referring to the one that came before the current generation.

@DrRandle

To be fair, I don't suppose real men would go about jumping around in grassy fields, putting on cat costumes, eating giant mushrooms, and constantly entertain giant mutant turtles with a game of cat and mouse.

No, real men would just punch everything that's in the way.

@Kalmaro

People from 1986 are extremely different from people from 2018.

Now, everything is sexist. And racist. And misogynistic.

@NEStalgia

Damn, you might be on to something.

@Henmii

So do I. Grew up with it.

Actually no, you know what? Mario Kart 8 is leagues ahead of Mario Kart Wii in terms of being unbalanced. That's because instead of the 'place' system where every other game decides what item to give you based on your place, Mario Kart 8 decides what item to give you based on the 1st place guy's position. You can get Crazy Eights in second place in that game!

There was an article that discussed that somewhere...

@Henmii

It also happens to be the most unbalanced.

The only other "game" more chaotic is Baby Park in Mario Kart Double Dash!!.

Bowser shells. Bowser shells everywhere.

@Dev

Tell me about it. I'd rather get blown up than shrunk.

Although I think the Coin item took its place in the newer games. Whether it's upon getting the Thunder Cloud or the Coin, everyone just utters "ugh" when they get either. Although, the difference is that one of them doesn't screw you over.

@ShadJV

Thanks man.

@ShadJV

Oh.

Right.

Wikipedia states that the Switch has sold 10 million units as of December 12, 2017.

@Octane

Yup. Only thing worse than China is North Korea.

Welcome to heavy regulations.

@milliag

Retailers phased out Wii games?

I never even noticed...

@Luna_110

Sounds like Star Fox Assault.

One of my favorites, that game. ^u^

@ThomasBW84

Welcome back!

@Anti-Matter

Nintendo definitely has better physical hardware.

In my opinion...

@Anti-Matter

From my point of view, it's not embedded in concrete, but it is heavily implied from some technicians on several forums who used to repair PS2s. But of course, this was from February, so my memory may not be extra sharp.

But do definitely exercise care when handling any electronic. They aren't indestructible.

I remember playing Mario Kart Wii for 24 hours straight, years ago...

...Unless of course, I left it alone on the HOME screen...

Hm.

@Heavyarms55

Funnily enough, playing CDs and DVDs tended to wear out the PS2's laser much faster because it was always running, resulting in many broken systems, which then contributed to more sales of replacement consoles. When I got mine, I read a couple sources saying that the PS2 was designed to fail to generate more sales. Replacement units.

And so, that's why I don't play CDs, DVDs, or even PS1 games on mine. I also have it extensively clean and don't game for long hours on it. So far, it's been working great since February 2017.

That's what I heard, anyway.

Personally, I think the freedom was less paramount to me compared to the detail and aliveness of the open world. You go into a little corner of Hyrule, and there's enough stuff to do there.

Honestly, I hope Aonuma and his team lean a little bit more toward the more traditional method in the next installment, but continue to incorporate that detail and infinitive list of things to do.

@Nincompoop

*diarrhea.

Say it with me now. Dia. RR. Hea. Diarrhea.

I've been around since 2013, so I might know what I'm talking about when I say it was good to have you, Tom. Very much so. Good luck at CIRCLE.

Farewell, my friend.

Farewell.

Part of me wonders if Breath Of The Wild could be Game Of The Decade...

Not impossible, to be honest.

@BlackenedHalo

Hopefully, they won't choose something as stupid as "Super Smash Bros. For Wii U and Nintendo 3DS".

@BlackenedHalo

I don't know, I'm a bit partial to the pizza guy.

Merry Christmas, team.

Happy New Year.

@datamonkey

Please don't tell me you actually believe the Earth is flat.

That's it?

@TossedLlama

Please don't tell me you actually believe the Earth is flat.

@TeeJay

Politics.

I am extremely politically active.

"No luck that time, but it was running nicely. We were dreamers."

Bleh. For me, the term 'dreamer' is spoiled. My brain can never discern which definition somebody means when they utter 'dreamer'.

Effin' faulty borders...

@Nincompoop

"He will go back home and sell it on eBay to offset the cost of a Switch."

Comment of the year. 12/10.

Ollo.

Can we call you Dom(ino)?

Good luck, man. Make some money for us.

Farewell.

The Star Fox Assault music at the end was cool. Nice touch.

@Octane

Actually, no. Why is he allowed to go there?

@Octane

OK, officer.

'Cube > N64

For me, I think my moment was more of a portion.

The Great Plateau, for me, will always be the best part of the game. That's when everyone's jaw first dropped at Link's ability to jump, how cool the Sheikah Slate was, the sheer beauty of Hyrule, and learning how to play the game. The discoveries, the experiments, the risks, and the smaller-scale experiences of that very first part of the game will always be my favorite.

@rjejr

I got my email a couple weeks ago.

@ThomasBW84

Cheaters finish first.

In the first part of DLC 2, I used the Sheikah stealth suit and pants, while using Kilton's monster masks for whatever I had to deal with.

Similar concept to using Majora's Mask.

As good as it is, still saying Super Mario 64 is the greatest 3D platformer of all time makes it painfully obvious you've got nostalgia glasses.

It was replaced in 2007.

The 2007 king was then replaced in 2017.

All hail the Odyssey.
