Re: Nintendo Expects Sales Of 'Evergreen' Games To Decline, Putting A Focus On New Titles

CupidStunt

@Dr_Lugae There are many great games apart from Mario Kart. Many games don't sell as well now. Animal Crossing sales dropped, Xenoblade 2, Astral Chain, Paper Mario, Kirby, Donkey Kong, Yoshi Crafted World, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon Let's Go etc. They could all do with a price reduction. Also a price reduction of Mario Kart would devi items creat an increase in sales of the Online Expansion pack. 5 years in and some almost 10 year old games. 2 newer far more powerful consoles with some very strong exclusive games on the way..... I think it would be a great time to permenantly reduce prices of games on the ageing hardware.

Re: Metroid Dread Is About To Become The Best-Selling Game In The Series

I think Nintendo have covered the cost of the game. I love Metroid however it does not have the same appeal as its other 1st party games. For example, it it does not have the same cross-gender appeal as Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing.

It is also the definition of a hard-core game as it is challenging. For the type of game it is, (2D action/adventure), that those sales numbers are pretty decent.

Re: Feature: 8 Things We'd Love To See In Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2

I absolutely loved the Divine Beasts. The visual spectacle of them was incredible, particularly the fire one when it was moving. I found it exhilarating. I also felt they contained better puzzles than the stupidly easy ones found in Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I like to have some head scratching puzzles in the games. The Divine Beast format on an even grander scale I would be happy with, but I would also of course love challenging dungeons OoT and MM style.

Re: Commodore 64 Games Are Being Teased For Nintendo Switch

@Bydlak I hear you. They should be made available of course. I just personally do not find much enjoyment in them anymore. I still love the best 16 bit games like the day they were released, but the majority of these older computer based games I cant find the enjoyment in anymore, as much as I would love to.

However they are an important part of gaming history, and people should have access to them.

Re: Playtonic's Original Yooka-Laylee Game Is Getting A Follow-Up Title

CupidStunt

The first game started off well, but turned out to be more Banjo Tooie than Banjo Kazooie in the end I.e. a bit of a boring collectathon without the clever puzzles and rewards. For the sequel I would like some tighter and consistent puzzle-platforming design, with better camera and controls. I like a collectathon, but you need lot of secrets and clever designs to make it feel worthwhile. It really could have been brilliant but there were some poor design choices. Fingers crossed they do a better job this time.

Re: Uh-Oh, Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Might Be 50Hz In Europe

CupidStunt

We are living in days in which N64 games can be emulated on PC at 60fps in 4k. There is no excuse as to why 60fps should not be the case on Switch either for N64 emulation. I will be very disappointed if 50hz is the standard for N64 games in Europe, and does this affect us playing online with those on other continents.
