I remember back when getting a ‘legacy collection’ meant your games were good… it was like a seal of quality. But now I feel like every studio with a backlog of forgettable and/ir bad games is trying to cash in on this trend and equate quantity with quality.
Literally what kind of a question is this? 'Can they'? Of course they 'can'. Nintendo historically has always intentionally kept supply low in order to artificially increase demand - and it works every time, and we are none the wiser
Ah yes, what a reason to upgrade. Anyone remember the unique ‘tv channel’ aesthetic of the Wii? That was the kind of innovation Nintendo was capable before it realized a couple new jpeg images could somehow become a selling point
NSO Cheapens the overall experience; I feel like this explains the general longing for the return of the Virtual Console. Plus, I'm not ready to admit that 3DS games are considered 'Virtual Console' lol
I feel like people are always saying this, but Banjo-Kazooie is an IP with almost no cultural relevance anymore, outside of a small group of millennials who grew up with the N64 (they heyday of Rare). I definitely think Nintendo did something better that 3D Mario has long outlasted any and all rivals.
@ChromaticDracula no… they’re more of a catalog/advertisement, it would seem, than an actual mag with reviews and stuff. Although if you’re looking for a good Nintendo Power replacement, Nintendo Force Magazine is about the best there is.
