@swoose if anything, I at least want to hear Daigo speak because he is humble and can spit some deep thoughts on gaming. Hbox is just annoying, it's almost embarrassing agreeing with him cause of how he handles himself. But his skills are top notch
Does anyone know if the japanese arcade versions of titles in the new bundle are easier than their western counterparts? I bought the SF japan version which is lightyears easier than the western, but just curious. I'll be getting this no matter what
@ParadoxFawkes I don't disagree with you but it's not up to you to decide right/wrong here when it comes to someone laying down the law. Nintendo isnt obligated to do anything no matter what we think they 'should' do
@CharlieGirl "rage against the machine yeah dawg" "corporations boo occupy Nintendo" like honestly I dont even get where your argument is. Guy commits a crime (and whether you agree with it being a crime is irrelevant) and goes to jail for it. Happens all the time. I personally know someone who cheated a nice oil and gas company he worked for and did time, but I guess I should be against the boogeyman corporation in that case? I mean just a few hundred thousand dollars they can make up in minutes, so he should walk? Anyone (including you) buying a nintendo product is putting money into their lawyers pockets so that they can do EXACTLY this, and yet you somehow think theres some disconnect or are playing dumb to the fact that Nintendo cant be responsible for stuff they dont make. What if Nintendo gave this guy the OK to make these but on the side he was making other like offensive porno or something? think nintendo wants to be associated, or take the chance to be responsible when sh*t hits the fan for him? No, therefore they do this, which is in their rights. But no "ooo yuck CEO board meetings booo".
@Alztru I put in 850+ hours online with the 20th anniversary collection and it's a shame how the shoddiness took away from the experience at times. Obviously I had plenty of good times with it but I also had no signs of stopping. I agree the lobbies would prob be brimming if the overall connection was better, it's basically why I dont go on it anymore. I even tanked my Sf2 turbo ranking (which idgaf about anyway) from disconnecting out of crap connections. Overall positive experience from me but i feel ya
@Bolt_Strike i understand you, although I myself am excited and hope there are some huge upgrades we haven't seen yet. But if there aren't and this is an overglorified dlc it'll probably still widen the splatoon audience much further than a DLC on a 5 year old game goes especially with kids (I'm thinking of some of the e game tourneys my teacher friends hold). Regardless, big $ for the big N
Was 6 turning 7 on my first of a million playthroughs back in '95, was mindblowing at the time (its ff3 with time travel!). Couldn't say it's the best or my fave because its kinda just ingrained in me and not sure I'd play again, but definitely a special game to me, gonna watch this later
@Rosalinho not crazy n sums up how I feel. Some of those worlds had like 50+ moons I swear, it really felt like having to check every nook n cranny in these not-so-giant levels that it took some magic or "mission" feel out of it. Definitely coulda honed that in imo, but I prefer a linear mario anyway so who am I to say? But I did find a lot of fun parts in it and def not disappointed, although not swept away like i was with 3d world
@sanderev telling a) companies what to produce, b) consumers what they should purchase is whatever, but telling c) NL what to publish is ridiculous. You dont want NL to write on this? Then dont click the next article now that you've laid out all of the rules (according to you)
Sorry quick edit to the article - "we're sure plenty of fans will have their reservations" should include "and others will throw an absolute hissy fit"
@Kumite mmm no you're definitely not wrong. I personally like gba over switch as a handheld experience overall. This looks like the type of game I'd prefer via handheld and voi'la
@Realness ahhh shoot okay, well glad it's on other people's minds. I made a Mii in the likes of Master Chop Chop Onion from Parappa da rappa that I think would be perfect for this haha
@Stocksy ha yeah I'm no bargain hunter so I shelled out 2 crackers for it. If someone says you can go cheaper/ do it yourself then please by all means, I had the means n desire for it having since my gba experience way back when was lacklustre
Edit - got mine in April and play to death. Lots of options there and seller communication is great from those I'd reached out to. Think you'll be pleased. Oh and reviews.

funny about Steely Dan, you could used to burn CDs onto the original xbox and listen to them them while playing quite a few games (maybe all?). But one of them I had was steely dan's first album from my dad's collection, no shame there I played so much THPS 1/2 to that (and other burned CDs), along with a million listen-thrus of their own soundtracks, man take me back
@GrailUK Thanks it's been such a treat to discover these and really looking forward to BM!
Ahhh well I was an SNES kid growing up, so I would honestly just 'want' the Genesis version so I can screen shot to my best friend, we grew up playing his Sega from time to time, just dumb fun times so why not some more? haha
