Re: Opinion: The Switch 2 Is A Powerhouse For The Price

Blue_Dread

A lot of complacent Nintendo shills in this thread. What happened to Nintendo being the affordable option in the console wars? The increased power doesn't justify a 50% price increase over the Switch when it's still not even close to being as powerful as the PS5 and Xbox Series S while being around the same price as them.

Re: Christmas Comes Early In This Blatant Super Mario Bros. 3 Clone

This looks more like any 2D Mario game than specifically like SMB3. I think it's just supposed to be "Mario-like" in spirit.

I'm not a fan of how generic the characters and enemies are in this game. Reminds me of the one quote from Angry Video Game Nerd reviewing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide where he complained about all the enemies being generic spiders, bats, and snakes.

Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's Game Boy Library With Three More Classics

@batmanbud2 this is how I used to think before, but there is really not much of a difference between emulating on something like a 3DS compared to a dedicated emulation device. At the end of the day, both have a CPU, memory, a motherboard, external storage, and a shell to cover it all together. The difference is one is made by Nintendo and one isn't.

The reason why I enjoy using mine is because I want to play all my favorite retro games without having to either wait for it to release on the Nintendo Switch online service or dig out my old console and play it on there. With my emulation device, I have the convenience of playing all everything from NES to N64, GB to DS, and playstation 1 to PSP all on a single device. No more purchasing carts or discs for a single game, no more reason to have dozens of consoles to play different games. Everything you will ever want is on a single $50 device.

Re: Nintendo Direct June 2024 Confirmed To Boost An Otherwise Quiet Year For Switch

If they don't release Metroid Prime 4 on the Switch then they will have pulled off the biggest bait and switch in the history of gaming.
>Announce MP4 FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH during E3 2017
>Everyone buys Switches in anticipation of MP4 release
...
>MP4 never comes to the Switch but Nintendo conned everyone into buying other Switch games because what else were they gonna do?

Re: WayForward Director Says Nintendo Changed The Way He Looks At Making Video Games

I'm actually enjoying Reboot Camp a lot. It's my first Advance Wars game so I have no opinion on how good it is compared to previous games but I find it very good and fun. Lack of online multiplayer isn't an issue for me since I play local multiplayer with my friends. The "toy-like" aesthetic of the units doesn't bother me and actually looks fine. Game is very engaging, challenging, and fun and I'm wishing they would release Dual Strike as DLC but I can see that won't happen which is a shame. At least I can play that on my Miyoo Mini Plus!
