Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Library With Excitebike 64

As to your example, if I bought 5 games at $10 each, that costs the annual subscription. After one year, then what? Gone! So I need to pay another $50. Then another. It doesn't work.

What you seem to be intentionally neglecting there is that the next year you would spend another $50 on other games as well as the $50 you spent on that previous year. Then the year later, you’ll spend another $50 on games released that year too. That’s why it’s such a good deal; over a period of two, three, four, five years you’re saving money overall with the subscription service instead of paying for games you want separately over that same period of time. You are not paying for the same games again, you’re paying to play the new games released that current year.

Your math is wrong and you’re getting upset at Nintendo because your own math is wrong.

With Wii, 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console, I spent a lot more every year than the annual NSO subscription service overall. And now I don’t play my Wii or Wii U anymore, and rarely play my 3DS.

Re: SNK Shares First Look At Fatal Fury: City Of The Wolves

@DKing64 No. I’m going to proudly and openly support my love for playing SNK games along with everyone else. I will not be shamed into silence by the likes of you for being enthusiastic towards a new Fatal Fury game. I don’t feel one ounce of guilt for wanting to buy it. My purchase is the proverbial drop in the ocean for the owners. That’s why I say it’s insignificant.

@DKing64 ”They just choose not to give their money to billionaires who commit atrocities. Seems reasonable to me. How can you possibly not understand that concept?”

One person buying the game adds zero to a billionaire’s wealth and not buying the game reduces their wealth by zero. That’s not a naive or defeatist attitude, it’s simply the truth. So if someone wants to play the game, they should.

”if a large portion of people have a moral compass and choose to do the same then guess what, the company's bottom line will suffer.”

The only ones that would suffer will be SNK and the fans of their games. The owners will not suffer in the slightest. In this case, acting on one’s moral compass in such a manner is a worthless gesture.

@jake1421 I just know my place in the world. And my place is to not go fighting billionaires committing atrocities in Saudi Arabia. If they own a company that puts out product that I want to buy, I’ll buy it. I’ll let the people who do have the power, funding, influence and presence to fight them do so.

What I find naive is someone believing that taking a moral stand by not buying a videogame actually does anything of any worth. Saudi Arabia is still going to do whatever whether you do or don’t. It makes absolutely zero impact and such a moral stand is just pointless and ineffective. And no I’m not defending them, I just know that you not buying a game isn’t the critical blow against them that you want it to be.

@jake1421 Whatever the owners are doing is happening “over there” where we are not and not “over here” where we are. Let the people of “over there” deal with the atrocities that are affecting over there. What is happening “over here” is a new game is being released.

Really, you shouldn’t let every atrocity in countries you’ve never been to happening to people you will never meet affect your mental health. It’s not for you or I to change their ways; we have zero presence and zero influence in our ability to affect things happening over there. People should not lie awake at night worrying about things beyond their control and should instead focus on improving their own lives and the people in their lives. The world’s problems are not yours to shoulder the burden of.

If the game appeals to you, play it and enjoy it. That’s the extent of your impact as an individual upon whatever is happening.

@LikeWhoa Capcom can only afford to put out one single new fighting game at a time of their own IPs right now let alone buying the rights to fighting game series from other developers. Although I wouldn’t mind Capcom vs. SNK sequels being the only fighting game series Capcom put out.

@Lizuka You shouldn’t care about such things. Play the games you want to play because you like those games. Don’t let meaningless intangible reasons like you don’t like a certain owner, actor, writer, musician, developer or artist stop you from pursuing entertainment you enjoy. You can still dislike them and yet still enjoy the work they produce.

Re: Capcom May Consider A Ghost Trick Sequel If There's Enough Support

SPOILERS

The game shows the second time that Ray asked Sissel to help him. The first time Sissel turns him down and goes off on his own. We don't see the consequences of this.

What happened after turning Ray down? What does he do? Who does he meet?

The ending is pretty neatly wrapped up. So a direct continuation of the story after the ending isn’t really possible.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library With Three Super Mario Games

Other than that, it's pretty similar to the All-stars version of Super Mario Bros 2 on SNES

No it’s not. Play SMA1 and find out. They added a bunch of new stuff that makes it worth playing. Of course it wasn’t going to be completely new but neither is it a straight port of the All*Stars version.

Being able to play SNES games on GBA was quite special back in the day. Even straight ports.
