I have been playing games my whole life and I am good at learning theam and beating them. But I never became a pro.
There are games I master (like Mario kart) and others that I am average (most fighting games) and others I just don't have the patience for (Minecraft).
Something interesting I found is that lately, when it comes to "cinematic" games (like the majority of the Playstation games), I play them on Easy. Maybe because in these games, difficulty is pretty much useless here. It's about going from point A to point B and get done with it. I don't even bother getting 100%. I mean what for? for a silly 2-minute clip I can watch on YT?
Obviously, the big third parties (capcom, konami, et al.) don't want their games on the service and instead want us to buy their compilations. It's not that these games are bad. But seriously?
This and Mario Kart are the reasons why I got a DS. I still have them in my collection.
2D Mario is the TRUE Mario. 3D Mario is fun but more like a spin off than the real thing. It's a shame Nintendo (and Miyamoto) don't care about 2D Mario even though is the one that brings the masses and saves their skins when things are bad.
I hope a new one comes to Switch that is not a bloody port.
@BloodyMurder I bought the game excited and I had to force myself to finish it. The presentation was great but the levels were just plain BS. I sold it as soon as I finished it.
And seeing how is on used games stores and websites I think the sentiment is universal.
NES classic was created as a quick solution for an abysmal 2016 Holidays. They just didn't expect it would be THAT succesful. SNES Classic was just a way to keep the trend coming while Switch was adapting to the market.
Switch is succesful. And SNES classic sold a bit less than NES classic...so there was no point to keep doing this.
Besides, N64 mini?! what are you gonna add in there? N64 wasn't as succesful or popular as NES and SNES. Game Boy, maybe. But Again, with Switch on the market, there's no need for a "in case of emergency" product anymore.
Nintendo uses their classic games to improve poor sales, to apease customers or launch something. They did it with the Wii VC after the failure of the Game Cube, they did with the Ambassador program on the 3DS and they did with the Nintendo Online service.
Yes, Nintendo. Please release a vaporware rumor thing that has no evidence but people keeps repeating ad nauseum waiting that it will became true rolls eyes

Re: Feature: Our Predictions For Nintendo's E3 2021 Direct
Most of the predictions around the web (and in this comment section) are more "letters to Santa Claus" than the real world.
Re: Colourful Action-Adventure Awaits In Trifox, Launching On Switch In 2022
"evoking classic 3D Platformers"
There's a reason why that genre died years ago.
Re: Nintendo Wants To Know If You Would Fork Out $50 For A New WarioWare Game
@kkslider5552000 because it does? It doesn't sell as much as Zelda games and is not as popular.
Re: Nintendo E3 2021 Direct To Air 15th June
@abe_hikura That's ridiculous. How a building app will replace a full-fledged game? Doesn't make sense. Commercially and conceptually.
Re: Nintendo's E3 Direct To Air 15th June
Here comes teh day of the year where I feel equal part excited and equal dissapointed.
I missed that so much :3

Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate Is Running On Unreal Engine 5
Dragon Quest games are released on the best-selling console in Japan at the moment of development:
DQ1, 2 3 and 4:Famicom
DQ 5 and 6: Super Famicom
DQ 7: Playstation
DQ8: Playstation 2
DQ 9: Nintendo DS
DQ 10: Wii
DQ 11: PS4 and 3DS
They make ports but once the base game has made a profit. or in the case of 10 to keep the servers costs.
So I guess DQ12 will be on Switch seeing how it is the best selling console in japan and is outselling the competition.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles
@EmmatheBest that will never happen.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles
@Ambassador_Kong Going third party when they are outselling the competition?
Going third party just because their classic games aren't of your liking?
Going third party because....why!?
Obviously you don't like or care for Nintendo. Otherwise you wouldn't say such and idiotic thing
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online SNES And NES Service With Five More Titles

Re: Katy Perry's Pokémon Song 'Electric' Is Out Now
Nice video and song...but take out pikachu and pichu and it has NOTHING to do with Pokemon.
It sounds like any other Katy Perry or Top 40 pop song out there. Even the lyrics are pretty generic.

Get over it already.
Re: Bowser Vs. Donkey Kong Team Rally Kicks Off In Mario Kart Tour
I voted for Donkey Kong because I am big fan. Even thought I knew that Bowser would win.
And for my surprise, Team Kong is winning!
Hell yeah! =D

Re: Nintendo Teases Mario Kart Tour's Brand-New City Course

Re: Review: Balan Wonderworld - A Charmless, Confusing Fossil From The Creators Of Sonic
This game never looked interesting since the first trailer. And the weird hype it got without even playing it was dumb.
Seems gamers haven't learned anything from the Mighty No. 9 hype fiasco, huh?
