I feel guilty, I actually got this on PS4, but just let me shout "WING COMMANDER!!!" (ok Privateer, technically) My dream of an modern, awesome space combat game came true! The style is fantastic! The music is fantastic! Juno is fantastic, c'mon she's a space trucker! The graphics are fantastic! (eh, I HOPE on Switch). I've been whining about wanting this for ages and it ACTUALLY delivered!!
@SalvorHardin Heck, I still have my Dreamcast for NFL Blitz. Those Midway games were the best way to enjoy sports AND have a laugh riot with my friends.
I know I'm old school, but I wish they would monetise these games as either a full price product, everything included, or as free-to-play. I realize they'll keep milking the cow as long as they can, but there is so MUCH consumer resentment building up over these microtransactions.
Oh sure! Don't mention REBEL GALAXY OUTLAW!! Oh it's fine, I don't want brand new IPs, I don't want space combat for my Wing Commander/Privateer -starved heart. Give me more sequel platformers! No it's fine. =3
@Dualmask I remember that article, where Guile and others could skip the 2second hold and trigger moves immediately. Even old Mortal Kombat would read your joystick and respond accordingly. One part of modern hand-holding I actually PREFER.
Star Wars Super Bombad Racing. On the other hand, the MySims kinda makes sense since the spinoff series had a few light-hearted releases on the Wii. Kinda cute and fun games in their own right.
@meeto_1 Well imagine if Mario was re-written into a villain who killed Satoru Iwata. But hey, it subverts expectations! Also, this trio of websites is pushing HARD to start fan wars.
“I don’t want to hear what a white man has to say about 'Super Mario Galaxy.’ I want to hear what a woman of color, a biracial woman has to say about the game. I want to hear what teenagers think about the game.”
Dude! I'm western values all the way, but let people tinker and improve on vaporware. The ENTIRE reason we got Resident Evil 2 Remake was because some intrepid programmers were making the game themselves, so Capcom saw the interest and went with it.
In all seriousness, I am all for updates and remasters. I actually see them the way studios remaster old films when new video technology comes out. It lets newer generations experience something they may have missed.

Re: Random: World Of Tanks Dev Would "Love" To Do An Advance Wars Collab
I know it's not the "same", but Tiny Metal was a spiritual successor to Advance Wars. It's plenty of fun if you feel the need.

@Radbot42 Ooohh, that's a stinger. The whole, "I got you something that LOOKS like what you wanted" never turns out well.

Iwata-San was a truly wonderful person, and a pioneer. I miss him.
Re: Game Director Swery Will Rewrite At Least One Scene In Deadly Premonition 2
@georgesdandre Disagreement isn't oppression. Otherwise you're oppressing me by disagreeing with the entirety of my worldviews.
Re: Game Director Swery Will Rewrite At Least One Scene In Deadly Premonition 2
Also, the Nlife Media group is pushing hard to be the next ResetEra. I miss game news, and Alex Olney's "Hello lovely people" .
Re: Japanese Game Director Swery Will Rewrite At Least One Scene In Deadly Premonition 2
Philosophers and revolutionaries of old fought to express unpopular opinions. Now they fight to crush them.

Re: Random: Niantic Got Rian Johnson To Direct A Pokémon GO Commercial
He cleverly subverted our expectations by making Ash into a deadbeat failure. Don't complain you manbabies!!!

Re: Lost NES Game Based On A Tom Cruise Movie Has Just Been Recovered From 21 Floppy Discs
Crazy about the disks. CDs and DVDs decay and degrade, solid state memory has limited cycles, yet old school magnetic data seems unkillable.
Re: UK Charts: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Goes Straight To Number One
In all seriousness, I am all for updates and remasters. I actually see them the way studios remaster old films when new video technology comes out. It lets newer generations experience something they may have missed.

@TheFullAndy
Guys I was kidding, I was kidding about the patch numbers!!! (Drowns in the thrown vegetals)
Re: UK Charts: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Goes Straight To Number One
But it immediately will drop in the charts once people see how the patch numbers are all 'wrong'
Re: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition Receives A Day One Update
Glad I took part in Operation Rainfall to bring the original game over to Wii in the first place, this way everyone could bicker about patch numbers..
