StH was last film I saw in the cinema before pandemic shut cinemas in the UK, glad I got to see a surprisingly good flick before Odeon temporarily closed their doors.
@Richnj that's different. His image is easily copied/duplicated as it's just a picture file. But if I was using the Mario sculpture as an attraction for financial gain Nintendo would no doubt try and shut the enterprise down seeing how they react to people using their properties all the time.
@Richnj it's taking advantage of a dedicated fans work so clearly immoral, but wouldn't hold up in court because the original creator wasn't asked to produce work. Nintendo will eventually rectify the outcome by removing the artists work from their material.
Even though it's debatable whether Nintendo consoles and games are the best, I whole heartedly believe that Nintendo fans are some of the most passionate and dedicated in providing fan service.
This is a nonsense story. Yes, Nintendo are using someone else work, but it is based on their own work and an accurate representation. It's not like they used a Mario with a completely different look like say, for example, Rasta Mario.
@Musharna I suspect Nintendo are trying to discourage seniors from being seen at the place, they strategically want to encourage a younger demographic, more family focused environment. A bunch of "past-its" can de-popularise the place and turn it into a ghost town (or should I say Boo town).
@Beaucine It just feels weird when Smash Bros adds characters from a game that wasn't originally on a Nintendo console in it's first release. If for example FFVII was on PS1 and N64, then it would be fine. But porting a game decades later to a Nintendo console (Switch) seems to validate it for characters for Smash. Snake is the closest example I can think of, if he hadn't appeared on the NES then the MGS "real" remake would permit him to added to Smash. FF7 on Switch is remastered, which is just a port with alterations.
I still don't understand why non-Nintendo characters are added to Smash Bros. By this I mean characters not to appear on Nintendo consoles like Cloud and Sephiroph. Beyonetta, Sonic and Snake have appeared on Nintendo consoles in their own games.
Game Gear felt like an oddity because most of the games were Master System Ports, this shortcoming is the main reason why I believe the Game Boy ultimately sold more.
Sorry, but as a massive fan of Fire Emblem and Advance Wars, I just could not get on with the NES/SNES games in the series. The graphical style just doesn't age well, and the menus look and feel extra clunky. When the games transitioned to the GBA, that's when they really became special imo.
@Foisted_Bread all you have to do is make something that hasn't been done before, whether it becomes popular or not is down to how you market your creation. And I doubt it would ruin people's lives, unless you bring trolls into the equation. But if you enter the world of online celebrity you have to understand the pits and downfalls that come with it.
What she did wasn't ethically wrong, but it was legally wrong and we live in a world of legislation. People will always try to piggy back off the big boys if it leads to easy success.
Actually, use a wired connection when playing online on anything (other than portable devices). Far to many people lag because they often have a console upstairs on the 3rd floor, while the wireless router is down on the 1st floor.
From my understanding, it's not actually perverted people who play these types of games. It seems to be people who have a strange enthusiasm for Japanese sugar coated erotic soft core media beyond the realms of anime and manga.

The problem is the digital age. Before the internet became such a staple of everyday life, you'd visit game stores and look at every game box on the shelf, and pick what you thought looked cool. You'd look up and down, in all the nook and crannies to find a potentially hidden gem. Now most games get hidden, or buried, behind a webpage that isn't at the forefront, and we instinctively dismiss what isn't right in front of us as mediocrity. The physical act of foraging for "hope" is lost in this domain. The reality is though, there are more great games being released weekly than there's ever been, but 90% of the developers will go unrewarded because of how competitive and bustling the system is.
The AGS-101 screen is no doubt better for just GBA games. The only real benefit then is for GB and GBC games, as the GBA screen is average for these games.

Re: Soapbox: Grinding Is Poor Gameplay Design That Doesn’t Respect Your Time
Grinding became fun when it involved loot. Grinding to be able to beat a boss is the most primitive and boring form.
Re: Video: Seeing Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Upscaled To 4K 60fps Makes Us Dream Of A Switch Pro

Re: Super Mario 3D World's Platforming Will Be "Snappier" On Switch, Gyro Support Included

Re: SNK Confirms The "New" Neo Geo Console Is Coming Next Year
Pretty sure this will be a niche $1000+ console that plays arcade ports. Doubt it will be an "actual" console.
