@TG16_IS_BAE You seem like an unhappy person. Did you lose your job or something? What made you decide to join this site with the explicit purpose of dedicating half your life to spreading your own personal misery here? We get it, you have Nintendo issues. That's your problem, not ours. You are not owed agreement, and this is one of the last places you should expect to find it.
@TG16_IS_BAE “It’s like a Nintendo cult is trying to shout us down.”
Do you suck at reading or do you just enjoy being obtuse? Look at the address bar at the top of your screen. Look at what it says up there. Look at the header on the homepage of this website.
You’re on a site called Nintendo Life. Let that sink in, and then crawl back to PushSquare or wherever else your natural environment is, because this place clearly ain’t meant for you.
@TG16_IS_BAE I’ve been a Nintendo fan since like 1989. Nintendo’s health as a company is important to me because it translates to them continuing to exist and giving me more of what I love, that being Nintendo systems and games. So yeah, I definitely care about their financial viability.
@twztid13 No it wasn’t. There’s no mystery or nuance in his comment. His claim was literally “36/40 translates to 6/10.” Please, explain to me how that means anything other than what it explicitly says.
@koekiemonster Except no. 36 is 90% of 40. As in 36 out of 40 is equivalent to a score of 90 out of 100, aka 9 out of 10. Since each of the reviewers gave the game a 9/10, this percentage would be the same regardless of the number of reviewers. And 6 is obviously 60% of 10. There is a massive difference between these two sets of numbers.
@TG16_IS_BAE I mean, this is Capcom showing us a very specific/limited slice of their unreleased game so we can get a general idea of the gameplay, so I don't think we can really assess the whole game based on this. I'll reserve judgment until the thing comes out.
@TG16_IS_BAE Weird, I felt like this series saw some of its emptiest spaces on the 3DS. Maybe not in terms of monsters specifically, but in terms of everything else that would make a game visually interesting to run around in.
@TG16_IS_BAE You’re joking, right? You clearly haven’t played many games in this series if you think big empty spaces aren’t common in it, or if you think this game is more empty than any of the previous ones, World being like the only exception.
@Azuris Copyright aside? For the simple fact that it harms a core component of Nintendo’s business. But if we’re talking copyright, even if they did use all their own code, Nintendo could sue them to make them prove it’s their own code, and the cost of that defense alone could ruin them.
Abundantly easy to see why they would ditch this. And honestly they should keep their fingers crossed that it’s enough to keep Nintendo from coming after them for any money they may have made in that short amount of time and crushing them into dust even if it is a piddling sum that they brought in. Because even if it wasn’t their aim, this treads dangerously close to the worst kind of piracy possible.
@Jakiboy Oh my god, good one. You totally got me. And I’m so wound up over this. This brief exchange of banal comments about a video game youtuber. On a site called nintendo life. This is very serious.
@Divinebovine There’s a massive difference between “fan” and “fanboy.” They can’t be used interchangeably. I say with complete confidence that AVGN doesn’t have fanboys. That’s just something people say online to dismiss other people’s opinions that they don’t agree with.
@Jakiboy He’s been around a lot longer than that, and for good reason. And that’s a pretty reductive summary of his videos. But thanks, I always love the “I don’t like this thing so others should not like it” comments. Never feels pointlessly condescending or anything.
I had a ton of fun with it and the technical issues had no real negative impact on me.
I think people need to think about what they’re playing and what system it’s running on. We were never going to get a top-tier performance out of this thing. I’m grateful for the simple fact that this game even exists. That said, if you can’t say the same, just don’t buy it. Problem solved.
Seen this before. Pretty confident Nintendo were well aware of this thing, given when and where it was displayed. But I doubt it had a lot to do with the conception of MK Live, given the obvious differences (augmented reality fx being one huge one).
@Ardisan Uhhhhhh. You’re joking, right? Do YOU know how to read? Here’s a direct quote from the comment in question: “Wow, Sega actually had the balls to put out a double pack of the worst super monkey ball and sonic game in one.“
Please tell me how that translates to what you claim it says.
@Dracavius Because there’s a large subset of people who think that the law should only protect the property of the have-nots. If you’re a large company or a rich person, it doesn’t matter how honestly you came about your success or how good your contributions/products are, you’re no longer morally entitled to the simple act of retaining complete ownership over your own stuff. According to some people, anyway.
@orangepanda If you’re not Nintendo or someone they’ve licensed to do so, making a Zelda game is not fair use. It’s not transformative. It’s not tribute. It’s not even a clone. It’s just obvious infringement. This is such a simple concept.
But I don’t even get why people want to die on this hill anyway. Why is it the zenith of creativity in some people’s minds to just make a fake Nintendo game? Why should we applaud this kind of mediocrity? If you’re so confident in your game design, build your own original world and characters and flog it to the masses for whatever price you want. But no creator, rich or poor, owes you the privilege of using and distributing property they created/own. It’s not about being anti-consumer, it’s about being pro-original-creator.
@Thirteen1355 Maybe it’s different where you live? But I live in the US and I’ve already gotten three individual joycons with stick drift repaired for free, post-warranty. Regardless, there are places that will repair drifting sticks for like $15, so throwing it in the trash is pretty stupid.
@CubicPirate You understand the fact that just because you like something that doesn’t mean you have ownership over it or a claim to it, and that’s a sign of a conscience, in my opinion. It’s one thing to say you’ve partaken in some unauthorized bootleg product even though you know it’s not a protected right to do so, but it’s profoundly irksome to me when people act like Nintendo are practically violating their civil liberties simply for observing basic IP law in relation to their own works.
I don’t understand the whiney, entitled, crybaby attitude of gamers. Come up with your own sh*t and start giving it away for free, if that’s your thing. But don’t act like Nintendo owes you the privilege of using their property and distributing it at will as though you somehow have ownership over it.
You don’t get to tell other people how to use the stuff they make/own, or to steal it when you don’t like the way they use it and redistribute it under your own terms. This is kindergarten-level common sense.
@Doofenshmirtz Nintendo have been fixing joycons free of charge about as long as Switch has been out, even when they’re no longer under warranty. You literally just have to start a claim on their site and they’ll give you a free shipping label and fix it for free and send it back to you. So that’s fake news.
@lighteningbolt79 It’s a big deal because “gamers” prefer to spend more time complaining about games than actually playing them. As if raging/complaining is itself a game.
@kepsux Pretty sure this is the same dimensions as the actual Game & Watch so it’ll probably be fairly accurate to that. But I don’t think most people are planning on spending a ton of time doing serious gaming on this thing. It’s mostly just a fun little novelty item to keep around.
If they started development pre-Switch that’s one thing. But if not, it would be yet another case of a developer completely ignorant to the fact that their audience generally only exists on Switch, and that audience is now seriously massive. Unless they have some kind of deal with Sony, not releasing this on Switch is a massive mistake, if their goal is to make money.
@edgedino @MrBlacky lol I 100% don’t believe that it was a joke. Where’s the humor in saying that a game was in development earlier than it actually was? “Haha, this guy said a game was in development at a certain point in time, what a gasser!”
@MrBlacky It has? Switch was announced four years ago, has been out for 3.5 years, and has had amazing sales the entire time. None of what you’re saying seems plausible.
Meh. Glad they’re able to branch out and stretch their legs, but I’m pretty much over the whole weird-alien-world trend in indie gaming at this point. They all just feel the same to me.
So awesome! My mom made a Barbie house in a bookshelf like this for my sister back in the olden times (1980’s). Think it was four levels? She put in stairs and furniture and a tub/shower and everything, and even though I’m a guy and didn’t play with Barbies I was extremely jealous, so I took it out on my sister by letting my gerbils loose in it. Poop everywhere. Totally worth it.
@Muddy_4_Ever I agree. I made a post about this a few days back when they released the latest update and as expected, some people took issue with it. I just don’t understand how it is that anyone cares that much about the way other people do a thing.
@RazumikhinPG Exactly. Proves how schlocky formula writing like this really is. Also proves how low the standard is for most readers. Every book can’t be a classic, I guess.
