Re: Feature: Where Are The Super Nintendo 3D Classics?

I love the negative attitude people have about the way nintendo releases things.

I'm more mad at them for never giving us flipnote 3D, but I understand why they wouldn't JUMP on 3D Snes classics just yet. Why do that when you can milk the NES classics to death?

Re: UK Government Effectively Decriminalises Download Piracy, Raising Importance of System Security

AugustusOxy

Piracy wasn't a big issue when games were better value for their buck. In other words, twenty years ago almost every game you played had massive after stories and were filled with (at the time) massive amounts of content based on the limitations of the hardware at the time.

Compared to super mario world, there hasn't been a mario game nearly as big since (mario 64 doesn't even have the same level of replayability or after game).

So in other words, if you want people to start buying your product more, you should probably make your product worth buying. Five hour game campaigns are the reason no one forks up real cash for games anymore.

I remember the last time there was domestic terrorism in the states... when they interviewed the guy who killed all those people-- he said it was because he saw dirty pictures on a nintendo console and it ruined his life forever. Thanks nintendo for preventing anything like that happening again.

Man you sure are smart.

Fun fact, DSi was region locked, as well as later versions of the dslite.

Nice try at being condescending, the reality is; I never said it would fix the problem completely-- it'd help alleviate some of the piracy and some is better than none.

But you decided to be so witty that you saw past any point i might have in some hopes that you could make a clever, funny remark.

Which failed. Nice try.

Re: Guide: Forming Your Own StreetPass Meet-Up Group

I've tried starting one up here in Michiana, but everyone is pretty paranoid. Despite the fact we'd be meeting in the middle of the most active mall in northern indiana.

Oh well, if people wanna be scared of their shadows, let them. I'm gonna be out living life.

Re: New Japanese Law Bans Child Abuse Images, Yet Anime and Games Still Allowed Suggestive Depictions

News flash, if they're a drawing or a video game character, they aren't children.

Children are those little gross human larva running around in this thing we like to call 'the real world'.

We can have images of murder, images of rape, but images of teenagers being mildly sexualized is somehow considered horrific.

I hate the priorities of western civilization. Lets pretend teenagers aren't sexual and don't want to have sex. Lets just do that.
Watch the insults, we can have this conversation without being horrible to everyone else — TBD

Re: Nintendo Lifts The Lid On Its Plans For E3 2014

I think its fantastic that they are skipping the cringe worthy live presentations.

Every year those presentations by any company, be it sony, microsoft, or whatever just get worse and worse.

Plus the whole E3 privilege is toned down this way, we all get equal access to videos and such without hyper emphasis on having crappy reporters getting the news back to us.

Re: Microsoft's Ken Lobb: Metroid Prime Wouldn't Have Been Made If Nintendo Had Listened To The Fans

AugustusOxy

Which is whatever to me, because I would rather have a third person game over the first person game we got.

As good as the prime games were, I did like what the Other M did as far as concept, controls were awful, but the idea of a more action oriented, less 'slave to shooting' metroid game would be amazing.

A metroid game that handled like Beyonetta would be pretty much perfect.

Re: Industry Veteran Peter Molyneux Warns The Indie Craze "Won't Last"

AugustusOxy

I don't understand the love of Indy games or kickstarter games.

In all honesty, most of the ones that do well, are not the interesting, well thought out games with new ideas and concepts. Its the ripoffs of previous ideas that get funded and made. Sure its nice, but it shows a general lack of creativity.

I've yet to see too many indy games that I'd consider masterpieces.
