@thefoxystoat the games would look seriously ugly AF if they were stretched to be full screen. This way the proportions of the screen are kept as intended even if there are borders. Some games look better with a small window such as Alone In The Dark.
@victordamazio I want a game added on at least one platform every week. Not one game for every platform every week. They wouldn’t do that even for a hypothetical.
I also want Sega CD and 32X games released alongside regular Genesis games.
@SoIDecidedTo I’m sure you remember Trump’s Wall, ICE and his “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. […] They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.” speech.
Trump’s Wall and ICE appears in the game, while there are NPCs in the game that treat Sean and Daniel terribly just because they are Mexican.
Donald Trump was the main antagonist of this game even though he was never mentioned by name nor made an appearance. The story is based on how Mexicans were treated by Americans during Donald Trump’s presidency.
It’s very politically charged but is also a good story, and you can choose whether you want to be romantically interested in males or females.
@twadebarcelona people dumping Twitter trash all over our clean NintendoLife site just lowers the standards here. I’m here for the games not the trash talk unrelated to the game.
@twadebarcelona Those reasons are external to the content of the game. People are free to criticise the game for content actually found within the game. Bringing in controversial Twitter drama to discuss here should not belong on NintendoLife.
@Untempered-Link Those comments have no relevancy here. NintendoLife has clearly asked everyone to talk only about the content of the actual game and not about what else is going on. NintendoLife is covering this game as it is new and also because it does not contain any controversial content within the game itself.
Wii U was a good console to me. It served me well. I would have welcomed a Wii U Slim and Wii U Portable upgrade for it, turning it into a Switch-like game pad that you could play away from the console.
They should add some extra games for free, those that were originally updates of other games if you have paid for those other games. So Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha for free if you’ve already downloaded Street Fighter Alpha 2. Super Street Fighter II if you’ve already downloaded Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
“But do you really think people would buy EVERY game on the service?”
No. I certainly wouldn’t if they were available individually. That’s why I prefer the subscription pass method. I can try out the likes of Tennis and Pinball for ten minutes without feeling like I’ve wasted any money.
@Hajilee It would be much much more expensive if they were available individually. I get all the games on the service for £35 a year whereas the N64 games would cost £10 a game, the SNES and Genesis games would cost £8 each and NES games would cost £5.
It’s just not worth it for them to be available individually.
If it’s not going to follow the game it’s supposed to be based upon, why do it at all?
It’s only getting an anime because the games were popular enough to warrant one. If you want to do a new original story then don’t scam fans into thinking it’s going to be based on the games.
I think the next main fighting game or spin-off should be Capcom X Street Fighter with half the cast being from Street Fighter and the other half being from a variety of different Capcom games.
Or Capcom Fighting Evolution/Jam 2 which would be much better game than the original but would only have a maximum of four representatives from each franchise. Street Fighter as a whole would be represented by only four characters.

Re: Nintendo Considering "Various Initiatives" And "Further Enhancements" For The Switch Online Service
How do you think a DS game can be played on the Switch? The touchscreens aren’t the same.
Re: Nintendo Considering "Various Initiatives" And "Further Enhancements" For The Switch Online Service
There should be one game every single week. We get about the same but we wait for a few weeks then we get two or three on the same day.

@Strumpan It says
“The most recent entry, 2021’s Oddworld: Soulstorm, came as a reimagined version of 1998’s Abe’s Exoddus on PS1.”
So it’s still a 1998 PS1 game at heart.
Re: Review: Oddworld: Soulstorm - Ol' Abe Still Intrigues, But He's Shackled To The Past
Game from the 90s plays like game from the 90s.
What a controversy!
Re: Poll: Is The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack Good Enough Value Yet?
@Munchlax Each NES game would cost £5, each SNES and Genesis game would cost £8 and each N64 game would cost £10.
If you want more than three or four newly added games every year then the expansion pack is worth it.
