Re: Feature: "Nintendo Killed My Son!" - Pulling Apart A Tragic Headline More Than Two Decades On

I don't believe video games are to blame. That being said, it's quite obvious that certain games are for adults and shouldn't be played by children. I'm nowhere near as hardcore as @Anti-Matter but the older I get, the less interested I am in games that portray needless violence. It's one thing if it's done tastefully like DOOM for example. I have no issue with ripping and tearing my way through hell to bodybag as many demons as possible. In the same breath, I don't like or play GTA and the like. Just because I don't like the realistic atmosphere it portrays. I like many fantasy elements in my games. If I wanted something real-world I'd just step outside and see what's shakin in the really real-world. It's all subjective and opinionated of course and I don't look down upon and admonish mature gamers that wanna play whatever game they enjoy. I'm just developing a taste for more art in video games versus gore for the sake of gore.

Re: Nintendo’s Share Price Takes A Hit Following Japanese Switch Lite Launch

@Kenology Point is. The drift issue is why it didn't do better. It did okay, not gangbusters, not peanuts. Maybe shmaybe. When consumers know of a product having a potential problem, it affects sales. Regardless of what the product is. I don't need to "poll" a bunch of Japanese folks to understand basic consumerism in a free market system. Anything else is just "feelings". I get it. I like Nintendo alot too. I like the Switch alot but when an issue like joy con drift becomes prevalent enough that a major company starts repairing the issue for free in their biggest market, it's tough to pretend like buyers won't be weary of future products. Case in point, if I knew for certain the sticks in the Lite were different than the joy cons, I would have bought 2 at launch. That means I myself am proof that the Lite would have sold more units and trust me, I'm not alone in that sentiment.

The NES toploader hands down. The oxidation of the original NES's 72-pin connector is what caused all of the "blow in the game" to fix it fiasco. That only sped up the deterioration process. Without changing out the pin connectors alot of NES's basically become useless. The toploader changed all of this. They still work like a charm to this day like all of the other top loading consoles.
