Re: Behold The Tragic Tale Of The Man Behind Castlevania

And to think, now all those TMNT games are unlicensed and locked in a vault somewhere, to be destroyed. Meanwhile, Castlevania is among one of their few strongest franchises -_-

I knew Akamatsu before this (huge CV fan), but this helps round out more of the Castlevania story. Imagine if his artistry was cultivated and not kicked around by Konami...

Re: Ubisoft Will Not Release Any Additional Starlink Toys For Future Updates

Berto_Gamut

Not surprising, I'm just waiting for this latest Star Fox update before shelving the game. It has an alright premise but the release structure sucked and the focus on boring generic Ubisoft characters really wears the game down.

This should've been a Beyond Good and Evil spin-off, with no lame selling strategy for different ships/characters.

Re: Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night Development Has "Reached Its Peak"

Gamers forget just how much this game ballooned past it's original scope. It was already going to be bigger than SOTN....then they broke a whole bunch of funding goals and nearly doubled that. And added a throwback game in Circle of the Moon.

I am still amped for this to release, they can take their time and release it properly.

Re: Billy Mitchell Live Streams 1,050,100 Point Donkey Kong Game

Weird that he doesn't share the channel they livestreamed from or the videos from that livestream. Just the picture of the game screen, him writing on the cabinet, and some quick photoshopped picture. Not saying he's lying here, just that he could do a little more to promote this.

But as others have said, his skill at DK was never in question...anyone can spend 2 days at that cabinet and start hitting those high scores if they do enough research. It's the initial deceit that's the problem.

No one denied Lance Armstrong can ride a bike really well, it was the deceit that people have a problem with.

Re: Review: Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! - The Perfect Entry Point For Newcomers, A Nostalgia Trip For Veterans

Great review but it still reads like a skip for me. Once again, they seem to be more obsessed with forcing players to use a specific controller set-up instead of letting us play how we want.

Skyward Sword, Star Fox Zero, Super Mario Party, and now Pokemon Let's Go.

What next, can SSBU only be played with a Gamestop exclusive Mario glove?

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Maddening Stance On Retro Gaming Is Driving Me To Piracy

A sub service is a nice bandaid and still meets what a certain amount of retro gamers want, also great for the ability to share with other Switch owners.

The ability to download the game outright and own it forever though, that should be the ultimate goal. Gamers want collections, SSB has showed us this in its trophy collection...to the point where we got amiibo. They simply have to do that again, but with their historical software line-up and not simply established characters/mascots.

Nintendo can do it, but the videogame industry is notorious for failing to establish enthusiast-friendly ideas quickly.

Re: Nintendo Enforces Takedown Of Fan-Made Game Creator Pokémon Essentials

Berto_Gamut

With the amount of new Pokemon games (in either videogame or TCG format) set to release in the coming year, this was bound to happen.

If one of the new things they plan on adding to the Pokemon franchise have to do with something connected to one of the characters/levels/powers used in this fan-made stuff, it's a conflict of interest for the property holders/makers.
