@scottishwildcat Martha Stewart did this and got less jail time.

I think Enron was more pyramid scheme/fraud on an insane scale if I remember right

@Uncle_Franklin what a disappointment and missed opportunity that was for luigi

@MrLinkTathapast the company made a direct statement to PC Gamer, along with other employees on social media saying the same, and you think its gossip?

@OptometristLime what's funny is if there was an actual GBA version I'd back it, but these graphics on the OLED screen would seem underwhelming

@Cashews my dog insisted I wear a scarlet letter any time i'll be playing Diablo 4. Damned Kotick!

Thank you for this, I charged mine and havent played but read a few posts about drifting

@MrLinkTathapast haha duh I got that far. I have more an issue with the "swan song" angle/context that the writer based the whole Switch 2 argument on. My "I don't get it" is directed specifically towards that and is not from lack of comprehending the article. Thanks though

@MrLinkTathapast right I get that, I mean the whole 'I wish Nintendo would call it a day' and alluding to a switch 2 - what does this even mean? Like if this is the swan song cool, that's poetic or whatever and it makes sense to admire that if/when that happens. But to actually wish for it for some cheesy "bookend" thought? I don't get it

@smithyo you wouldnt because it's a non-concept, I have no idea what this article is trying to say

RE4 on XS and Sam Mallard: the case of the missing swan on the GBA everdrive

Incredibly lucky to be able to nab a Pro controller on amazon yesterday

@ArcticEcho sometimes a smaller sandbox leads to more creativity - botw was one I guess i admired or respected for its scope but didnt really enjoy

Happy for everyone thatll enjoy it this wknd, sounds like a banger. And as someone on the fence for a future purchase - glad to hear weapon durability isnt as much a thing with monster drops, that was on my mind

@Hajilee haha I agree but absolutely no way thatll happen, you're not expecting a million articles on may 13th gushing over mechanics, silly finds and the inevitable "What next...? Totk 2?" articles? Buckle up

@HeyNavComm was just about to say hard to top the Robin/zelda Williams commercials, especially looking back

@BeyondKnight I'm one of them, just because I never fell for 3D Zeldas. I might give this a go someday but might just wait for price drop on skyward sword all the same. Anyway I'm glad a re-cap vid is all itll take for me to hop into this

@GrailUK good question. I'm curious how the amount of AAA new released games compare to previous gens, like switch already got its Splatoon, (paper) Mario, Metroid, Luigis Mans 3, etc with Zelda and Pkmn on the way

Gonna try to beat lvls 19 and 20 in Dr Mario, I had been picking at that game all week. Other than that, maybe Splat and RE7

@NorwegianMate outside of whatever law that allows it, I'll say ethics can be stretched since video games are intended to be played, which is not happening when watching a let's play. Films are intended to be watched, books to be read, etc. so it may be something in the lack of actually playing. Happy to be proven wrong, I'm tired, but it's a good question

Edit - to your actual question, I feel okay about it

@CharlieGirl weak argument though. You said the same 'nintendont' about a super mario 2 rom hack and how many millions of copies did that original sell? Sometimes nintendo doesnt have to do anything because the originals are good enough.

Retiring Dracula X speed runs
Maybe Doc Cosmos gameboy homebrew
Definitely tactics ogre n Re4 remake

@Switch_Pro agreed. I love ff6 but that ones bloated enough as is and probably easiest game to exploit, not sure why the exp/gil boosts as well. But just my thoughts, not hatin'

@CharlieGirl the number of times you saying this exact generic "argument" while supporting the same company with your $$ is also disconcerting

Really hope Miyamoto's contract includes a % of the box office haul. Pay the man!

@Selim they were banking on folks like me who havent played it in 15 years, I loved it then but forgot it to the point of grabbing this remake. I love it but doubt it's worth getting if fresh in your mind

@HefHughner considering how prevalent a lot of their old school releases are (Mana Collection and other FFs come to mind) it is a bit strange

@DrGonzo or maybe because the publisher referenced Kon and Lynch?

But sure, jump down NLs throat..

"Stunning"? In what way exactly? Visually no, gameplay no, price yeah.

If you're against the price hike fine, but I hate this otherness people create about consumers being "stupid" with their money and blindly buying whatever. Maybe ppl took all of your points into consideration and agree to an extent but in the end think "i need something to cheer me up for next few months" or maybe havent bought a game in ages so 10 extra is fine. It doesnt disprove anything about corporate greediness and such but this belittling of consumers is annoying, quit assuming the worst in ppl over something out of their control

Smbu deluxe was such a vanilla title for me, no charm and a breeze with short levels. Cant believe it costs as much as some of these other ones

@BrazillianCara I wont say the concept is bad but some of the writing felt stifled by cramming itself into that package in Octo 1 and I never felt 'swept away' by any story, maybe Haanits. I actually loved playing it in 2 hr blocks per chapter, but there was no depth to the characters and lots of the melodramatic "gee golly let's not give up hope" dialogue didnt make up for it. Wasnt funny or touching or mysterious or much really. Still put 90 hrs into it and this review gives me hope, though doubt I get it for a while

I'll have enough gamestop points by then to get this on the cheap, excited for my first dive into pikmin

@RevengeFan right but 70 bucks in 1994 is like 130 now?* seems like a tall order for chips and carts? genuine questions
*=google

Gris was pretty good of an ending if I remember right?
Edit: yeah it was, i remembered

@DiggleDog oh good call

Donkey kong country on SNES was 70 on launch 30 years ago...so they went back down in price for a while? And ninty is a blood sucking corporation all this time? Im lost

I'm not into botw but i would if I was excited for a game that I would dump hundreds of hours into and is incredibly entertaining, seems like a decent return on investment. Not advocating for it all the same

Maybe they can take all that money from smash sales and make a decent Battle Lobby system in the next one

@emj2010 I forgot about the suikodens coming back, good call

Mario Paint on nso (is it there already?) is my prediction

@GameOtaku I think it's just a business decision. If they charged less for online but sold retro games separately, then I'd probably buy like 3-4 games tops (either played a million times or not enough interest to purchase). So the amount of money they hose from me with a yearly subscription costs more than that hypothetical. Perhaps Ninty wasnt making a killing selling retro titles individually, and decided to roll it in with the online service (at a higher price) for suckers like me who found a happy medium between price, online and rental of titles I'll rarely touch. Maybe wasnt worth it to them to give consumers more options

Tldr who knows what they're thinking, especially in regards to non online gamers

Excited for the NL spongebob review, will see if it gets a bump on my wish list

I might up the subscription when it expires in June to play this and others. Not many n64 games I really wanna own long term and hard to jump on another shooter with Splatoon still half fresh for me. Very nice either way

Tactics ogre, stardew and pizza. Pizzas not a game but itll get involved at some point.

@geshem oh the writing is a separate thing that I've moaned about way too much haha. Everyone is all "gee golly" in their speech, no characters have actual flaws/dark side, and only hampered further by the "octo" gimmick (is it really that unique of a set up?) Enough to where I wouldnt get this if it's the same

@geshem I got through 85 hrs of octo1 by switching to japanese audio w subtitles, if it means anything. Lame for me otherwise

Without a doubt basically all Cloister of Trials in FFX. It's so lame, I couldn't imagine doing it pre-youtube days. Plus I loved FFXs story so being pulled away from it to press wall buttons for half an hour compounded my frustration

I randomly started a second farm and loving it more than my first playthrough from couple years ago. Bittersweet seeing the play time reach 30 hrs since I mostly play it when I cant sleep.

I learned H'aanits theme from the first on piano, love it and the rest of soundtrack to bits. I doubt I buy OP2 but will check out its ost either way
