Re: Nintendo Switch Overtakes PS4's Lifetime Sales In Japan

Baart

@HammerKirby Money, unconvincing arguments to switch to other suppliers, nintendo offerings being satisfactory, time to spend on gaming.

Better question might be: why is it so hard for you to understand why someone would stick to one particular supplier?

Re: Super Mario Maker 2 Nintendo Direct Airing Tomorrow, 15th May

Hell yes!

Hoping for:

  • sound effect muting. I want to be able to disable the repetitive jumping sound for example,
  • palette swapping. Let us play levels in all kinds of filters like monochrome, neon etc.
  • simple music configuration. Give us the ability to play music at half speed, distorted or different styles,
  • Completion direction: have the finish (flag) on the left, or on top or at the bottom.

Re: Atooi Provides Development Update On Its Upcoming Switch Projects

How is this company still afloat?

I mean, isn't the game industry always painted as extremely competitive, risky and unhealthily hard to survive in.

Yet this guy releases pretty niche games in the scoring brackets of 5 to 8, with common heavy discounts in the 60 to 80 percentiles a couple of months after release.

Something doesn't add up.

Re: Super Monkey Ball Creator Has No Idea Why The Game Was So Popular

Baart

Sometimes a game selling well is just luck because of right timing. Lots of factors can't be calculated when launching a product.

However, Monkey Ball also did quite a few things very right like the character design, unique gameplay, superb accessibility and control, etc.

I didn't care for this game, but it's remembered fondly by many for good reasons.

Re: Feature: The Best Shmups On Nintendo Switch

I assume RIVE: Ultimate Edition is not on this list because it combines platforming elements with shooting but...where the hell is Sine Mora EX?!

The list is full of budget shooters but Sine Mora EX is some high quality super polished stuff...yet, no mention. Why?

Re: Random: Minecraft's Creator Won't Be Invited To The Game's Anniversary Celebrations

Baart

Well it's their party, and their franchise now. Unless Notch specifically made a deal to mention him in credits he can be erased from any Minecraft game from that point on.

Likewise when I have a party I don't invite the body confused like 'trans' and anorexic / boulimic people, no matter how lovely they may be. They're mentally ill. As soon as the taboo on that subject is gone, Notch will be cleared from being ostracized as 'wrongthinker'.
