Re: Nintendo's 'Quality of Life' Project Lives On

Dizzy_Boy

The QoL thing should of happened back when Nintendo were pushing their Wii Fit and Brain Training games, or atleast kept those franchises going while the QoL was being developed.
I kinda miss playing Big Brain Acadamy on my Wii, I may have to pick it up again at some point.

Re: Guns, Gore & Cannoli is Bringing Its Brand of Mayhem to Nintendo Switch

Dizzy_Boy

For those who moan about the stance that SLIGEACH_EIRE takes on the Switch, take note the he sent this tip in.
Also, a gangster version of Metal Slug, yes I want this. This will be one game I'll be happy to get when I eventually pick up a Switch.
I would also love to see more indies make games with a comic book/cartoon look instead of the usual 8bit graphics that most seem to use.

Re: Beleaguered UK Retailer GAME Blames Lack Of Switch Stock For Profit Warning

Dizzy_Boy

@electrolite77 I've been in that position a few times myself, having birthday money pay for day to day living. Thing is, I know that at some point during the year I'll have some spare cash, and I'll use it on buying something nice for myself.
My family know things happen, bills need paying, life gets in the way. So, they're ok knowing I'll get something eventually.

Re: Beleaguered UK Retailer GAME Blames Lack Of Switch Stock For Profit Warning

Dizzy_Boy

Some have mentioned gift cards, I never understand why people would pay for them. When I give somebody a birthday or christmas present and they've ask for cash, I actually give them cash. Why limit them on spending that money in one shop, especially when that shop could go bust.
GAME are their own worst enemy too, if they're having problems shifting XBOX and Playstation stock, cut down on the space they're using on thos consoles and start pushing Nintendo for once, especially with reports of the Switch selling well.
I just wish that GAME never bought out Gamestation. Gamestation were a much nicer place to buy games from.

Re: The Super NES Classic Edition Hides the Classic Controller Connector Ports

@All If those SNES Mini's are made with the same plastic that the original SNES used, don't leave them where the sun can react with them.
I bought a couple of Japanese Club Nintendo Super Famicom controllers, one I kept in it's box, the other I used to play my Wii VC games. The one that I was using, I left out by the TV.
The thing is, the sun shines into my room, across the chest of draws where my TV and games conesoles sit. And like an idiot, I forgot about the horrible yellowing that the SNES plastic gets from when reacting with the sun. After spending a small ransom to get them, the yellowed one serves as a reminder, be careful of your prized possessions.

Re: Review: Darksiders: Warmastered Edition (Wii U)

Dizzy_Boy

I've put a couple of hours into this so far and haven't had any glitches yet, but it's worrying to see so many people complain about it.
Considering it's been out for a feew weeks now, I'm suprised we've heard nothing from THQ Nordic on whether they're on bug fixing duties or not. And I'm worried that we never will.

Re: We Know There's An Appetite For Virtual Console On Switch, Says Reggie Fils-Aime

Dizzy_Boy

The Wii VC started out perfectly fine until the indie games started to arrive.
If the Switch does get it's own VC, Nintendo really needs to get support from 3rd parties to get more variety in games. Regurgitating the same games again is just pointless.
They also need to get the team behind NES remix to do the background work, the WiiU VC looked horrible, where as the games in NES remix looked really nice.
Also, advertising the games on the eShop as a whole would be a good option. Running a quick flick advert on tv would be a start.

Re: Sega Is Looking To Revive Some Of Its Past Classics

Dizzy_Boy

It's really sad to see Sega in the state it's in. Although I prefered the NES and SNES back in the day at home, but Sega abosolutely owned the arcades.
I really think most of Sega's arcade games would translate well onto the Switch if they treated them properly.

Re: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe's Smart Steering Means Father Can Play With His Physically Impaired Daughter

Dizzy_Boy

It's not like people are forced to use smart steering, so it's pretty dumb to argue against it's inclusion really.
Besides, it's nice to see some positive outcomes of this really.
Also, when my nephews play Mario Kart 8, I put it on 50cc, join in and help out by holding back and keep the CPU players back with the items. That way they feel like they've done well getting the top spots.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of the New Nintendo 2DS XL?

Dizzy_Boy

I was more suprised that Nintendo left it until now to make a clamshell 2DS. When reports of people getting headaches from the 3D of the 3DS, this could have been the perfect response to bring a clamshell 2DS out when Nintentendo released the original XL.

Re: Video: The Top Ten Best Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tracks

Dizzy_Boy

My list in no real order
mario circuit
toad harbour
cloud top cruise
snes donut plains 3
n64 royal raceway
n64 yoshi valley
gba ribon road
wild woods
big blue
sunshine airport

I dunno why Alex would add baby park, the exite bike track would have been a better choice.
