So the humor's subjective, no biggie. Most funny game for me was Eat Lead/Matt Hazzard, and same deal for reviewers there. I'm glad they tried, regardless.
And I meant what I said about cultural zeitgeists. It's like playing SF4 or 5, then looking at the whole Zangief/Gorbachev thing and saying, "Wow! Look how far we've come"
@NEStalgia I dunno. And yes the symbol means VERY different things between the nations. But the censorship on behalf of China is frightening. As in -outright- frightening. I don't care, left or right; cultural genocide and human rights abuses are happening ad- wholesale, and that is not some right-wing propaganda. How people see China as a get-rich-quick market, and not, "Yeah, let's not support that" is terrible.
@GannonBanned I'm actually not even for name calling, though I'll tease if others are doing it. And yeah, that was RIGHT in the name. This is why I couldn't be a mod.
@B3lla88_666 Welcome to NintendoLife, guy!!! Where the US opposed the soviet union because "commies" hurr-durr, and not because their marxist ideology killed 10-20 million people! I still want Bison in the damn tub!
@GannonBanned I think he's saying it would be like editing classic movies or re-writing history. It's part of the cultural zeitgeist, and can be learned from and studied (or appreciated).
@kkslider5552000 Well that's no fun at all! It's the internet, we're supposed to be butthurt... And I agree on the awards, Animal Crossing far and AWAY was the most awesome game of the year, it practically was loved by everyone and made lockdown bearable.
@nessisonett Nor is it what anyone said. And "too in my face" is offensive to anyone, it's the very nature of "in my face". It's a disservice as well, to continually misread criticism as "violence". Gay or any non-hetero relationships DON'T bother people, it's the constant pandering or activism. Likewise for media. Pandering isn't the media, it's the pandering.
I think a great example believe it or not is Lego. For YEARS, they always had female astronauts, police officers, basically anything in their build lines always had representation. They never made any pronouncements or activist statements, but it had always been there. Nobody wrote articles, but I always noticed it, and thought it was all the more cool for it.
@nessisonett Actually, yes. As you so pointedly use -every- opportunity to post about. If someone used every hetero-based relationship for internet activism, you'd be miffed too.
-THIS- is why some of us don't toss or trade our old systems. Im still miffed Sony has yet to have any PS2 BC since the Phat. And yes, Switch needs Virtual Console.
The core problem is the gamers themselves. Very few have had to deal with repercussions out in real life, only in games which are by nature, impersonal. It's the nature of the beast, life experience comes from life, not from games, so most gamers (who start young) haven't had to deal with real life pushback.

Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Includes Support For Variable Refresh Rate Technology
Hate to go off topic, but since Ridge is a System 22 game, is there a chance we'll see Namco's early polygonizer-board games? Winning Run, Air Combat?
Re: Oops, Yoshi's Woolly World Featured In Switch 2's "Compatible Switch Games"
@HotGoomba Agreed on Wooly World. Or maybe a Yarn Yoshi double pack??

Re: M2's 'Gradius Origins' Collects Some Of The Shmup Series' Finest And A Brand-New Entry
No, no, no they're supposed to release these as multiple, confusing editions like Darius and Ray'z
Re: PSA: You Can Now Download Nintendo's New Mobile App
Wonder if it connects to the Switch2's 'C' button in any way?
Re: Smash Bros. Ultimate Adds Doom Slayer And Splatoon Characters As Mii Fighter Costumes
I had a feeling he wouldn't be a main character, but even as a mii this rocks. Better than Sora...
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
Serious moral problems with Disney, but great job Sakurai. Guy deserves an awesome retirement when he decides.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
This was the biggest team-up Nintendo and Microsoft fans could have had. Portable, console and Windows. Instead they gave into the Mouse (and China)
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
@Ferkner At least the Slayer mii got in there. Isabelle finally has her teammate.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!
We needed another swordfighter
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's Final Fighter Is... Kingdom Hearts' Sora!

Disney.Owns.Everything.....

Re: Random: Nintendo Direct Announcement Sends Smash Bros. Final DLC Fighter Speculation Into Overdrive
It would be too good to be true, but Master Chief with mayyyyyybe a Halo 1 Anniversary for Switch. Just an olive branch from MS would be so awesome.
Re: Feature: The 10 Best SNES RPGs
Chrono, Mana, FF6, not just some of the best RPGs ever, but the most amazing soundtracks as well. Nintendo wasn't kidding about "Play it Loud"

Advance Wars? Baten Kaitos? Viewtiful Joe? NOPE, another swordfighter. Gyahhhhhh...

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@GannonBanned I legitimately didn't see that. Totes gotcha.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@GannonBanned I meant calling the guy a nazi. Rude, I can see. Not a follower of ole' pencil mustache.

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
We need Bison -IN- the tub shouting, "This is delicious!!!"
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@TryToBeHopeful Actually, Whataboutism is applied to either side to just shut down an argument. I could call your "whataboutism"...whataboutism.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@GannonBanned No, that's just good taste. (Slaps own hand)
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac That's right, I only see destruction and murder at the hands of people that call themselves "anti-fascist", not sure what else I'm supposed to
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac Burning minority-owned businesses and killing people isn't the concept of "anti-fascism" I was aware of.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@cdmac Dude....... you literally made the "they're called anti-fascist" argument......
I can't even.
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@GannonBanned And YES! I want other people to own my personal workmanship, family, or freedom. It's the "Good Thing"
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
@GannonBanned I think he's saying it would be like editing classic movies or re-writing history. It's part of the cultural zeitgeist, and can be learned from and studied (or appreciated).
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
But everything is fascism! Also I want Zangief and Gorbachev to cossack dance while Bison repeatedly shouts "Delicious!"
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release

Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
I just want Antifa to liberate 30 moar peope from their lives and burn another 1500 locally owned business!!! They're not fascist, its in their NAME!
Re: Controversial Rising Sun Design Removed From Street Fighter II's Re-Release
So! How about them Antifa, ready for another good season of 30 innocent folks and 1500 locally-owned businesses?
