90s music was kewl - death metal was at its finest, also rise of power metal.
But the bideo says late 90s not through. But to be honest, the guys should've called it 90s bands. Some of those screamed 70s and 80s in style and sound.
@rjejr 100 yen may look like a lot, but you must consider he is NOT in Japan, roaming can be really expensive. 100 yen in roaming, probably without interwebz package, doesn't look like a lot.
@MadAdam81 ever heard they grant you 6 pokeballs, which on higher levels end up being not enough? It's either buy a hundred or grind pokestop for hour or two.
So instead of fixing something, they remove it. Good job I guess. It must have taken a huge amount of effort.
It's funny they say this "did not meet our underlying product goals" after one month. If it didn't, shouldn't it be dumped sooner?
This "game" is souless cash grab and I can see drop in interest when more and more people will get beyond level 10 and taking notice that pokemons get harder and harder to get, so they can gladly tak your money for berries and greatballs.
Even Nintendo themselves misunderstood it, but to me it was beyond idiotic to release the console and do nothing, just sit on your butt and wait for the money.
So far NX sets up to repeat the mistake. March date looks pretty stupid, because on christmas and black friday they will miss their customers, who will buy consoles from competition and they will be busy with their games.
You can blame the name, Nintendo being confused by their own creation, but it could be something diffrent.
Wii U had to bomb, sadly. Even marketing couldn't help. Nintendo was on downward spiral with console sales since N64, Wii sold really well, because it was also aimed at casuals. With U they wanted to go back to gamers and casuals (hence the name) and combine the 2 worlds, but it turned out playerbase did not grow by much since cube, casuals come and go like usual, and the Wii hurt them badly with unrealistic expectations.
If they won't change their attitude, it will bomb just like U. While U had many great exclusives (in my opinion, best since snes days), what doomed them was Wii and their approach to customer and borderline idiotic plan for U itself, being no marketing and just milk the Wii and they had no idea what they wanted to do with the gimmick of U. Now they suffer the consequences. If they won't change, history will repeat itself and no amount of "prese understand" and promises will help them.
Also it's sad there is no option for used NX in the poll.
Personally, I liked the ones with riding dinosaurs cards more.
That rock/paper/scissors comparison reminded me of Alex Kidd in Miracle World. It was cancer in that game.
Anyway, can we consider New Adventure Island a series, when in reality it's only a "remake"/port of the original? I would say it's part of AI, not New.
@faint look how many bikes and motorbikes sold combined. Now look at minibikes and the sales for it are not even half of the combined sales. Combined market doesn't mean the sales will be the same.
What is also kind of weird is Nvidia, because they flat out said the don't give a single solitary crap about console market, because it's not worth it for them. Also, if rumour is true, NX would compete with their very own Shield. It's weird to say the least.
@Dr_Corndog game worthy PCs were affordable since near the end of the 90s. And yet we got 3 gens of consoles.
Still, for the price of new PS4, you won't build PC more powerful than the console, but could end up with something slightly weaker. Selling point of consoles were always games.
@bluedogrulez it could be cartridge shaped, but be basically SD in disguise. People were talking "too limited, too expensive" about blu-ray and how stupid Sony is... I wonder where are those people today.
Android 4.4 is BS. Overall req are a lie. Try Galaxy Note 2. It fits, but google play won't download it. When you download apk from somewhere else, it magically works without problems
What unlawful possesion of guns in USA even means? Isn't firearm ownership and all the things associated with that debated and controversial to this day?
Also gj reporting news about pokemon go, guise! You reported that Nintendo is worth more than Sony, but didn't report it dropped below Sony the very same day:-)
@Damo so that crunch with original date with starbucks uncle source was press release? I actually read those stories out of curiosity - both source is from starbucks and they say BS about 'delay' to fit their stories. According to Forbes interview, the guy only said July and nothing about supposed delay.
I could miss something, because firefox on phone sucks hard, but that's what I got from those 2 stories.
Square reboot version of Thief is mediocre at best and I'm still sad they did not care to make a good game.
But anyway, the game got delayed, because there is no NX on the horizon, and they stated beyond shadow of a doubt that this game is being made for both consoles since the beginnig (and it started dev around 2012/beginning 2013).
Meh, a rumor that turned out to be not true kept alive by another one. It doesn't even make sense, because they didn't gave a single crap about servers day one, so why care now?
Also, change of date between 2 companies this big is not that simple and sure as hell wouldn't announce delay the day it's supposed to be released.
@muhep "would have to find the hackers," Easy, because they are not hiding. "hope that they're in a country that would prosecute for such a thing" civil lawsuit doesn't need prosecutor. At all. It's between the two parties. You have no clue, so no need to point out all the wrong in your post.
@SetupDisk So you say horrbile comparison, and then repeat after me. Indeed horrible.
"Physical activity alone is part of most therapy for depression" I would not say that, because it can end up as complete bs. I would rather say dependent on country. I don't know about US for sure, but in EU in some countries most treatments are pills and not activity.
It's imrpoving mental health as much as booze. You may feel when under influence that depression is gone/not as bad, but it will come back sooner or later, because it's only a distraction. Wasn't there a word for it anyway like escapism or somerhing, so keks can stop with "it heals"?
@LegendOfPokemon they still play vidja. It's good they get out of home, bit it still doesn't change the fact that kids are addicts to phones/ipads/whatever device and games, which is dangerous outside for themselves. Examples are in this article and there could be more.
Except that Missouri incident ehich shows human scum, rest are not because of Pokemon Go as many would love to believe, but because of botomless stupidity and irresponsibility.
The kids feeling pain from icreased activity is not less dramatic, it's sad and wake up call that kids should not be parented by tv and as much as Nintendo loves that image by them, but parents/family, because if you leave kids to tv, them bideo gaemz, we will soon see the end, not to games, but lives and civilization.
Kamiya was right, so was everyone sh#tting on this kickstarter from day one.
But, to Inafune credit, I agree it's better than nothing. There were some serious KS scams and this one is not near being the worst one. Maybe more like top10.

Re: Multiple Sources Outline a Portable NX With Detachable Controllers, Including a 'Base Station' for TV
@aaronsullivan well, NX looks like would be both. But still their change of heart is little weird.
Re: Multiple Sources Outline a Portable NX With Detachable Controllers, Including a 'Base Station' for TV
@aaronsullivan but is there a demand for something like that? Shield showed that it's not big.
I guess only thing that could make it worth it for Nintendo is that they could support both portable and home console at the same time.

Re: Darksiders is Coming to Wii U
It's pretty stupid they released remaster of 2 before 1. I guess there is nothing better than playing games out of order.
I liked 1 better, because it didn't try to be RPG as bad as Darksiders 2 did. Although the world map was also annoying.
I hope that someday we will get 3, because those were breedy gut games
