@a_brave_new_geek I buy physical so I can resell it to recoup some of the cost later. Use the money to buy new games and then to later resell those. It isn't always about collecting.

Think about it, if digital and physical are the same price but only physical gives you a return on your investment, why would you choose digital?

@Runex2121 If nothing could be added to them, they were complete.

@Runex2121 [b]Never hurts to have options]/b]

The digital OPTION is why we are losing physical.

@Quiet2down Too high is subjective.

@Aventurier Probably just the password system like with the Ages and Seasons games.

@AeonicB At least now you'll have the benefit of save states before each major boss, so you don't have to sit through the whole cutscene again.

You also had save states on the Wii U release of these games.

@rvcolem1 I prefer random encounters.

• I don't want enemy sprites messing up the scenery.
• I don't want to have to wait for enemies to respawn when I am grinding.
• If you aren't grinding it's easier to determine how to not skip any battles but also not grind. Just fight every battle but waste no time getting to your destination.

This near universal hatred of random battles has really changed JRPG design and not for the better in my opinion.

So way back in the 90's we thought ugly 2D games would be gone by <current year>.

@Serpenterror If they skip OLED in the initial model, it will only be so that they can sell another console to you later. Just like they did with the Switch and just like Valve did with the Steam Deck, they will target double dippers.

Dragon Quest 4 - 9.

@mtthwmrtn777 It's funny isn't it, how people go crazy over ugly clones of existing franchises. Stardew Valley also comes to mind.

@SBandy1 I don't charity purchase.

@CanardDeFeu I play every generation but I can never remember the generation numbers.

The Switch lite doesn’t…ya know…Switch.

@JohnnyMind You don't think individual people should be able to voice their opinion?

That is all that people are doing. They aren't bringing charges, prosecuting and imprisoning him.

@Dr_Lugae Exactly! The 'wait and see' people just encourage him to stay silent because as long as he is silent, they will continue to 'wait and see'.

@appleseedeon The defendant, fearing apprehension and incarceration tried to commit suicide by eating a fish sandwich. Fortunately the Filet-o-Fish didn't have enough actual fish in it to kill him.

@JakedaArbok It's not an organized mob, it's individual people on the internet. The place where he made his money and fame.

@MegaMari0 Indeed and it only took a month to find someone to donate too once the controversy started. So much for his claims that he couldn't find the right charity for almost a decade but then that claim is also BS since he also said he was upset when he found out in 2021 that the money had not yet been donated.

He changed his story.

@Sonicka Well, many people have decided that lying about making donations so he can collect more money makes him a scumbag. I guess you don't see it that way.

@Sonicka You don't know if he purposely didn't donate the money for 9 years? That would be quite an accident. You could say 'well, he didn't know for the first 7 years' but that is incompetence at best. We still have 2 years where he did know, kept lying about it and didn't donate.

Still think it was an accident?

@FredsBodyDouble In this case charity fraud is lying about donating the money when you weren't.

@Sonicka I don't know what else you want, he has admitted to that which he is accused. You are just being a fence sitter.

@Sonicka You don't need ALL the facts, the facts that we have are damning enough. Imagine if criminal courts couldn't convict someone because they didn't have ALL the facts?

Juror: "Your honor, we cannot reach a verdict because we don't know everything that happened on the night of the murder. We know the defendant went to McDonald's after committing this crime but we don't know what he ordered."

LOL

@Sonicka But... having followed a lot of this scandal over the last few weeks I still feel we're still missing a lot of context and facts (alongside an official investigation actually needing to taking place).

Any facts we don't have are because Jirard isn't sharing them. Karl and Mutahar have gone as far as they can.

@Dark_Isatari I don't know their reason but a big part of his claim to fame is his charity work. It is where he got the 'nice guy' moniker. All of a sudden, he is not that guy.

@Dark_Isatari His support only mattered because of his charity 'work'.

@Dark_Isatari Rewriting the history you knew is what this is all about. You thought all this time that he was donating money as he was using that to get more, he wasn't.

@Lightsiyd You make your living on the internet, you get to be criticized by the internet.

@Key19 He was done before he even made that video.

@larryisaman He did say he messed up and regrets it and he also threatened to sue but the real problem is that he came out way too late. By the time he made his response video the fire was out of control.

At that point, there was no recovering from this.

He has managed to complete his career though.

Nintendo Life: Look everyone, it's a Link's Awakening HD port.

A few days later:

Nintendo Life: It's been taken down, how did Nintendo find out about it?

Keep in mind that this is a remake of an SNES game. What would have happened if the original had shipped with these bugs? Do they not test games anymore?

@Moffo ..but you really are only interested in the game announcements, right?

@Ultimapunch Do that and no one would watch. How many people really like award shows?

@ERIC_MACK Skyward Sword had motion controls which turned alot of people off. When they heard from others online about how the controls sucked they may have decided not to buy it. Nintendo's response of 'oh well, get good' probably didn't help either.

The whole game was designed around motion controls and so if you weren't good with other motion controlled games, you may have decided to skip Skyward Sword. Even the HD remake just ties the motion controls to the right stick instead of giving it traditional button controls. That game is just not for some people and shouldn't really be compared to Zelda games with traditional controls (which is all the rest of them).

If you ask me, acceptance speeches are boring.

Son: "Dad can I have <widget>
Me: in my head ('unlikely')
Me: "Maybe someday"

Worthless thing to make an article about.

@MysteryCupofJoe Yes, physical means you can resell it later and if Nintendo pulls a Sony (deleting movies and TV shows that people purchased), you will still have your copy.

If anything, this Sony thing should wake people up that a digital 'purchase' isn't a purchase at all, it's a full priced rental.

@VoidofLight Yeah, it makes no sense to compare a new monster collecting game to the most popular monster collecting game. /s

@FishyS If your Gamepass stinks, could be something wrong with your Xbox. Overheating?

Man, I am so tired of this HD-2D look.

Have it on the SNES mini and on the Wii U, I am not seeing any reason to spend $60 on this. If it were $40…

@Joeynator3000 Reviewers would reveal that information anyway, likely before you can get to that point in the game yourself. So avoid the spoilers just like you would avoid reviews. Not seeing the issue here.

@RobynAlecksys Well, if my PS5 could be duplicated for free an infinite number of times then someone stealing it would be only a minor inconvenience. It would also call into question what value something that can be duplicated an infinite number of times for free has.

Why set release dates so far out when you can’t know if the game will be ready? Just wait till it goes gold and set a release date.

So you know those cheap $5 DVD’s with two movies on them? Yeah, that’s what the box art looks like.

Being very faithful to the original does nothing for me. I can still play it on the SNES mini and on the Wii U VC.

I have been waiting for a Mario Kart 8 bundle!
