That's funny i don't remember turning into a robot or mech in Contra NES. But humor aside this is a cool fun fact IMO. As living in the U.S i never knew the two main characters were different across the pond.
I wasn't trying to prove you wrong @JohnnyC. I just noticed when i was ordering me the Lego Saturn 5 Rocket that some of their stuff was kinda expensive $400 and some of their stuff was insanely expensive $15,000+. But you are correct on Legos holding / increasing their value over time.
I don't know @JohnnyC Legos can be pretty expensive too. As Lego has a Harry Potter Castle for $399.99 on their website which is only like $24 cheaper than these. And if you want one of the sold out Star Wars Sets brand new that'll set you back over $15,000.
No i don't have the links @HalBailman because the comments were from Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft back in the Wii U, PS3, and Xbox 360 days. So it would of been 12+ years ago or so. But it went something like this. We believe digital games will be the future of the gaming industry as it will make consumers gaming library accessible anywhere there's a game system and internet connection without having to take physical games with you. And it will be better for the environment and cost less on the production side of things which will be passed on to the consumer. It's basically a win win for everybody and something we think our customers will be very excited about.
Your forgetting the B.S they told us years ago @HalBailman. They said that going digital would save on production cost which would be passed on to the consumer. Yea how's that working out for everybody but the game companies who don't have to make game cases and carts anymore and they make sure you can't sell your games to others anymore?
Oh well guess i'll go back to buying slightly used games for crazy low prices again. Where Nintendo & Others get absolutely no money out of the sell. I don't do this to hurt Nintendo & Others but to save money. And Nintendo & Others kinda did this to themselves.
It's not bad for me @nessisonett as i only have a $1,525 max copay deductible a year. So only $1,525 a year for all my meds. But sadly there is no way people without insurance or good insurance can afford medication here in the U.S as just the meds i listed above are over $3,000 a month or $36,000 a year. It truly is greedy and wrong and no that is not IMO just a fact.
I agree with everyone else as i've seen the pros & cons list on other sites and i'm glad to see them here too and even more cleaver calling them Joys & Cons.
I never was much on any of the Wii fits. I'd rather keep the pharmaceutical companies well funded with my blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetic medicines. OH WAIT!
You think it's fine @Coalescence because like you said you only played it for a few hours. The real problems don't show up until the 2nd half of the game, when they ran out of time for optimization. The first half of the game runs 1,000% better than the 2nd half.
Yes Limited Run Games is based only in the U.S.A @sandman89. But they ship worldwide. And yes as far as i know this is the only way to get a physical copy of these games in the whole world.
Who cares about new hardware if the don't also start reproducing the old game cartridges again. As some of the good games cost around $500! And who can afford that?
Are you talking about the Sega Genesis 32X version @nukatha? Because i looked for a Genesis non 32X version of Doom but only things i could find where Duke Nukem 3D and Wolfenstein 3D for the Genesis.
I literally bought Doom for the SNES the day before this was released on Switch. Needles to say i bought it for Switch too because it looks like crap on SNES IMO.
Although i posted this in an article about leaks @nhSnork. For me i believed 100% that their would be a smaller and better performing Switch coming out the day i made my day 1 purchase of my Switch. So when the rumors started i felt like yea it only makes since since this is what i believed from day 1. Then i thought how can people not believe this. But that was just me.
It's only 8:30am local and i've already been proven wrong @Ralizah. Since i only play my Switch in handheld i didn't give it a second thought calling it a handheld and not a hybrid like it is. My bad
I can't believe there were non believers who said i'll believe it when it's announced. Nintendo has only revised literally 95%+ of their handhelds since the Game Boy.
I've already spent $115+ for the Hori Dragon Quest Slime controller. So spending $160 on another controller is sadly out of the question for me at the moment.
As i'm sure you know @Magician SLG did this with Ultracore with a pre order window of 2 months. So maybe if we're lucky they will adopt the LRG formula.
Only consoles i'll play Contra on have to support the Konami code. Because let's be honest who nowadays has the patience to beat this game with only 3 lives and no save states?
How's this for an idea. Just give us a actual New 2D Castlevania or Metroid game. I don't know that's probably a dumb idea that no one would be interested in.
No, remember Bowser said no new hardware this year. Oh yeah duh I forgot. Nintendo doesn't consider revisions of hardware to be new hardware. And don't forget if it's released in the next 123 days it's not the Holiday season.
Literally just got downloading this about 5 minutes ago. I'm excited to be able to play this game for the first time with the DLC as it been in my backlog since it's very first Eshop sell.
The New Switch Lite Is unnecessary IMO. Why???
1. They already sell a dock less Switchs in Japan for $226. Which is only $26 more than the Lite. So just pay the $26 more and you have the option to replace sticky buttons and joysticks AKA you get joycons and the option to add a dock later if you want.
2. The lite is compatible with joycons but you have to buy them separate bringing the price to $269.99. So only $30 less than the Switch and you don't get the dock included or the ability to replace worn out button and joysticks AKA joycons.
3. It's really not that more portable it's about the same size and has analog sticks sticking out so your not going to be putting it in your pocket. Your going to be putting it in a case or backpack just like the original Switch.
Nintendo has been using the term New Hardware for years. As you should know by now Nintendo doesn't consider revisions of existing hardware to be New Hardware.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Life eShop Selects - July 2019

Re: Nintendo Switch Game Vouchers "Not Currently Scheduled To Return" In North America
Your absolutely right @thesilverbrick i buy all my games at my local Walmart. Where every Switch game is $49.94 or less even on launch day.

Re: The Dinosaur Hunter Returns To Switch Next Month In Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil

Re: The Early Switch Lite Leak That Actually Turned Out To Be Real
Good point @gaga64 a Switch Pro/more efficient Switch does make more since IMO than a switch less Switch.
