I was really angry when they killed the virtual console, but thanks to that I discovered SNES emulation and hacks on my laptop. Hacks are amazing and I would never be able to play those on the Virtual Console anyway.
For the same reasons Nintendo will never release an N64 mini, because they found a way to monetize those old games under a subscription model. Now Sega wants to do the same, he even expressed his interest in taking the Netflix route recently. I am not criticizing that choice, which I find completely legit. I am just pointing out the real meaning behind this man's words about embracing modern gamers
That just shows how Nintendo is paving it's own path and don't care at all about their rivals. They are at another level completely. Nintendo does what anyothersdon't.
I would pay 400 for it if it has enough power to run all third party triple A games and is still portable and can connect to a monitor. If I need to buy a second console for those games like happened with the Switch I will think about it. But if they release a new F-zero I will buy it at any price...
I just played for two days, got first place and never touched it again. I will give it another try to the new "classic mode" because I didn't enjoy so much random chaos.
I can't believe it's been 25 years since I grabbed Ocarina of time on day one. I still have the console and games here. The forest temple heavily twisted my mind forever, the music with those clock sounds, grown up link with the master sword, the hookshot, the ghosts, Phantom Ganon... also loved the water temple. What a game, it changed my life.
I understand their point because it's true that this acquisition won't affect Nintendo the same way, the switch has an incredibly strong first party support in both quality and quantity and it's success doesn't depend so much on others, but saying that it's not a rival to xbox and ps is plain wrong
I think it's not about crying. To me the title is referring to those chunks of land that are floating in the sky, those are tears of the Kingdom. But I am not a native english speaker so I am not sure. The Queen's passing is not helping with my theory though.
I hope it's not only an F-zero GX remaster. I wish they add some awesome new HD graphics to it but at the same time I need new content because I have been playing that game since it came out non stop. I need new tracks, vehicles, lots of vehicle parts, online, new story mode and a track editor. But first of all I need it to happen because it's only a rumour, so we will see... Also Zeldas and Metroids are always welcome to my games library
My prediction is that we will get a "Gamecube classics" series, like we had the "NES classics" series on the GBA back in the day. This will come with new joycons with better sticks (no drift hopefully) and analog shoulder buttons to accommodate those games. Or maybe they just add Gamecube to the online subscription service...
I always ignored Metroid until one day that I decided to play Super Metroid on my 3DS Virtual Console to see why everyone loves this series so much. I felt in love and I couldn't stop playing until I finished it. Then I decided to try Metroid Other M and Prime Trilogy, but even they are good, they were not my thing. Then I got Zero Mission and Fusion for my GBA on eBay and loved them a lot. I also got the Super Metroid SNES cart. I finally had the pleasure to play Samus Returns and Dread and I love them both as much as all the other 2D Metroid games.
@steventonysmith the kids were playing around home, coming in and out of my room. It was my first Bayonetta game so I didn't know about those inappropriate scenes yet. But I understand and agree with your point, if it's already rated M why adding this mode? The scenes will be awkward anyway. But some would rather like to have Bayonetta keep her clothes on. It's a matter of taste I guess, and completely optional, so I don't bother much about it.
@steventonysmith that's true, but at least I won't hear my nephew screaming: "I have seen her butt!!!!" while everyone at home think that I am showing porn to the kids
@BulkSlash Yeah! I know the feeling. People think you are a pervert, like you are just playing to see her nude, it's so awkward... And it's optional so why would someone complain about it??¿!¿¿
The fact that Mario Kart 9 seems to be very far away makes me think that Nintendo might give F-zero another chance to shine. But after so many years of disappointment I already moved on, whenever I see those news that just give false hope I just ignore them completely. I rather focus on celebrating the ones we already have which are awesome.
Not doing anything to amend the joycon drift and forcing overpriced subscription models to play old games and online is the way you build trust and a long term relationship for sure. Of course he is worried, we are all worried as well Mr Furukawa...
This is Miyamoto. We developed a new F-zero for the Switch but we will never release it. I will keep it for myself and I will never allow anyone to play it.
I want to buy this game but I find it very expensive, is it worth that price? I have to buy the base game Afterbirth+ (40 euros) and then the Repentance DLC (another 20 euros). Are there any discounts?
