@Yorumi collectors, lol, theres no way a collector could be checking all their games, making sure they all play from start to finish LOL image calling someone laughable after claiming something like nes, 80s hardware is indestructible and will never fail

I've always seen collectors as selfish, basically hoarders, but then have the nerve to say games are indestructible even though they just SIT on them unplayed? Games are meant to be played with, friend.

Big difference between games you love and played the heck out of your entire life, to something you bought off ebay and sit on and never play.

If I want to use emulation to ensure I have a safety net, I will also means less wear and tear on my original carts, same reason people love everdrive so much

@Yorumi I like the aggressive attitude you have now took in persisting I'm abusing my games, they all work but still some are starting to show their age, I'm talking things like lylat wars suddenly not loading up toxic wastelands all of a sudden, sure can restart and hope it loads next time

Live in blissful ignorance all you want, you're a collector? Good for you, I have a modest "collection" with majority being the actual games I've had since I was a kid, with thousands of hours played on some of these games

Now be honest, how often do you even play this collection of yours? How often do you even boot them up and play all the way? Getting to the main menu does NOT equate to a working cartridge incase you didnt know, games can easily freeze at certain parts, even on carts

You sound like someone who has a bunch of old games and old consoles sat around not being played, declaring they're indesutrible lol

@Yorumi oh please, the pins are all intact and even Nintendo life did an article "your old consoles are slowly dying"

This whole belief that old consoles last forever is a myth my friend

Literally everything degrades in this world over time. Everything. Even us.

Fact of the matter is, without emulation (which even nintendo use emulation) we'd be talking alot of lost software/games, especially ones that dont even have right holders anymore lol

@FredsBodyDouble yeah it's almost like things degrade over time.

Infact a few of my n64 carts are starting to struggle these days, I'll happily ensure I have other means of playing them just incase, while you go ahead and wear and tear on 20+ year old hardware

@TheAwesomeBowser you get upset over emulation and roms?

Why?

@Olddantrucker nazism?

Wtf kind of drugs are you on?!

Nintendo life users when seeing 4k 60fps mods - "meh the lower resolutions and lower fps version is better"

Nintendo life users when seeing official Nintendo-made mario 3d all stars at 720-1080p - "omg this is amazing looks loads better then the original"

😂

Going to miss this game when it goes on March 31st

@Migoshuro In terms of graphics in the indie scene, this is why I kind of prefer the AA root, take Two-Point Hospital, it has nice modern looking graphics, but it had support of sega, team17 as well are quite invested in supporting rogue developers and helping them, including playtonic and while YL was average it's hard not to love ex rare devs

That said I do think some indie games can have that AA or even AAA feel but I get what you mean about stylized graphics, but theres a lot of modern looking stuff too especially in the AA/small budget titles

@Migoshuro Yeah it's a real shame, tho I do think some slack should be given where due, star wars squadrons has no microtransactions and isnt a live service game either, for EA that's impressive but they still get pooped on and I dont think the games sold massively, also on steam forums people are complaining it doesnt get regular updates

And that's a part of the problem, we're living in times where people who grew up with microtransactions and live service games are in their late teens or early 20s, have disposable income and theyll happily keep buying this stuff while ignoring the few games that do go the traditional root

I do gotta praise Nintendo here, I have a love-hate relationship with the company but they dont shove microtransactions in my face.. at least not yet and I hope they never do, they make enough money from MT's on their mobile phone games

@FroZtedFlakerZz Yeah because kart racers are everywhere arent they? /s

"Nowadays the fun of a game is put to the back of the line"

I disagree here and would argue it's the games you're picking that arent fun to you, especially when we have the AA and indie scene nowadays

Ultimately the problem with AAA nowadays is that they dont want to take risks and make 'safe' games that are most likely to sell, which just means less innovation

@Zenszulu No, the GAME is 30 years old, not the people who played it

I'm 30 and I was about 6 months old when it came out, so clearly I dont remember the launch lol

@Ghostchip Yeah guess it's kind of idiotic of me to generalise an entire population like that but sometimes I cant help myself

@BloodyMurder What an American thing to do, fabricate some BS inside your head and project it as fact.

@MrCookieCrisps The article does not state that, anywhere.

@MrCookieCrisps every single one of those games use s different engine and made by different companies

Dont know how many more times I can keep saying that it isnt purely graphics

A game could have terrible graphics, doesnt mean it's easy to port

@PickledKong64 like I previously said, that doesnt make much sense because xbox 360 is entirely different architecture to a switch

Trust me, 100% if they ever did port GTA V or would NOT be the x360/ps3 version, it would be the ps4/xbo version if they ever did

@PushMyGran86 oh man gta sa would be nice on the switch, and tbh I prefer the older games

@DK-Fan Crash 4 port could still come to switch, spyro was delayed on switch and still came eventually

@Silly_G YOUR ORIGINAL POSTS WERE OBNOXIOUS BY THE VERY DEFINITION SMART GUY, YOURE IN NO POSITION TO USE THAT WORD

Saying that YOUR obnoxious comments hold no weight was not "personal insults" either. You did that.

Yes you should of taken that wise mans advice sooner rather than clutch at straws like you had, and argue with people smarter then you.

Because if what you're saying now was true, you would of just said exactly that. Liar.

I've looked into your post history and you do this often, check mine if you want I barely post.

@JuanGartner Much like I try to point out before, much like x360 and ps3 use different architecture to a switch (or even a ps4 or xbo)

It's the same with games, idtech especially (used to power doom) is a VERY scalable engine, so they can scale a lot back

Where as something like GTA V uses the RAGE engine, its plausible a switch port but that engine is not just less scalable but not as easily portable.

Idtech naturally supports lots of stuff can even run doom eternal on linux for that same reason, it also supports modern api Vulkan where as GTA V will still use opengl

It's not just a matter of graphics like people here always thinks it does

@JokerCK Yeah at 720p and sub 30fps

It's like people keep saying how GTA V was on x360 and ps3 while ignoring the fact xbox 360 and ps3 uses entirely different architecture to that of a switch

If anything it would be the ps4/xbo version that would get ported

@Silly_G Critique means it would have to be thoughtful and constructive lmfao

Didnt know saying "everything sonic touches turns to trash" and "old doesnt mean classic" counts as critque

Ironically me pointing out your behaviour has been more meaningful than your clutching at straws

I know you're a pseudo intellectual and all but please stop misusing words. You barely have a grasp on the word 'reply'.

@Expa0 Not these days it isnt afaik

Very odd to see it on this list

@Silly_G Maybe if you could keep your argument straight, you've gone from

-my only beef is with sonic, not sega

To

-I was just joking bro

Either way you admit to clicking on these articles with the sole intent of bashing on a video game character.

And no, I wont hit ignore. I replied because I wanted to point out that your comments dont hold any weight or real value. That.was.it

And if you like puoy puoy tetris, I'll let you in on a little secret....
....
......

...sonic is not the developer, hence not the one who introduced that minor bug you cried about.

"6 games that cant run on switch"

@Silly_G Surely you dont get jokes as the point is they are meant to be funny, a statement like "old doesnt make it a classic" is objectively not a "joke".. your comment in the puoy puoy tetris article was not a "joke".

Your excuse is the only joke!

Let me make this so simple, even someone like you can understand it.

I dont like animal crossing, I think it looks boring and kinda dumb

Do you see me on animal crossing articles? Nope!

Where as you, intentionally click any article with mention of sega and sonic.. with the intent of spreading negativity, before you've even clicked the article

Also having relied to you it is obvious you like to drag out arguments to make it look like you had a point. This is called being stubborn.

Your comments in this and the puoy puoy tetris article was unjustified and clearly in context are not "jokes". That's a reach.

@Silly_G Gonna break my own rule here

No, projection is saying you only have problem with sonic, not sega, even though you were clearly in the puoy puoy tetris article the other day calling sonic and then bashing on sega in general

That, and having "beef" with fictional characters, is projection. "Triggered" is another word for "bothered" and you fixate on a single word simply to dodge the fact that you're a Sega basher and not a very good one

Again, it is not my problem you have beef with fictional video game characters. To me I am not overly that emotional over video games, why would i project over them?

drops mic

@Silly_G Ok?

If someone replying to your comment (reply as in, you know, hit that big button that says REPLY on it) on the internet bothers you this much, then you shouldn't be on the internet full stop

Dont worry, I wont continue engaging you, as I have already proven my point.

I'll just wait until the next Sega related article for that

Edit: DELETED YOUR POST DID YOU? LOL THANKS FOR PROVING MY POINT

@PcTV Didnt realise this and just used 300 points on 3 mario 3d all star posters, thought to myself "great, this is awesome"

..Until it came up wanting £6.25 delivery cost

@Silly_G replying to a comment isnt heckling

Hey not my fault you have "beef" with a video game character now is it

Remind me, what did your comment in the puoy puoy tetris article the other day have to do with sonic? Oh wait

@Silly_G Your comment would hold a lot more weight if not for the fact you do this on literally any article with "sega" in title or has anything remotely to do with sega

Beautiful, really great work

@Silly_G You wouldn't think it said MINOR issue in title with your over reaction

You're way too way obvious, way too obvious buddy lol

Like others, I never saw the appeal of funko pops

I've been getting quite into collecting Tubbz tho, they're kind of similair to funko pops

@Brummieendo90 now you've said that, Microsoft will acquire them and it will be Rareware all over again

@SoIDecidedTo definitely the fanboy in you because the hardware inside a switch is infact Nvidia hardware.

@Bizaster millions of people? It was the most anticipated game of last year 😂

@Perryg92 seeing someone refer to those games as TR 1 and 2 really irks me

Sorry just had to say that xD

Garden Warfare 2 was better imo, after finishing the single player worlds I got bored of neighborville

Standard black one because that's the one I've always had and im biased xD

@LilMuku Oh, well yeah I can understand that, just because something is nostalgic or old doesnt neccersily mean it was good

Sorry about before I just love my nostalgia but dont try to be blinded by it which is why I wait for reviews for remakes of games and stuff, really enjoyed the re2 remake for example but re3 remake is pretty awful and glad I waited for a sale

@LilMuku and what do you mean by "best"? Because when I say best I'd mean my favourite

Maybe the newer ones are better? Dont know, dont care. I care about the pokemon I grew up with but I guess that makes my intelligence sub-par somehow?!

@LilMuku and you call other people stupid? Okay, let me eleborate for you.

Here is a direct quote of yours

"It's easier to market to stupid people than it is to come up with new stuff
Charizard's proof that nostalgia sells"

Now this is clearly you implying that people who buy into nostalgia are "stupid"

That has been nintendos whole mantra the entire time, naturally nintendo fans actually do like nostalgic things

Unless you're implying everyone is going out buying over priced old charizard cards in which case that is even more moronic when that is very few people (probably doesnt even get to triple digits in people buying them)

Either way, your comment was dumb asf and a failed attempt to troll.

@LilMuku By your logic they've always been horrific

Theres always been a new mario kart, a new smash bros, a new mario game ect.

It's literally always been like this, they've always reiterated on their long running franchises

Lmfao, nice edit

And yes, you did say nostalgia sells and people are stupid for buying into said nostalgia, saying other wise doesnt make it true

@LilMuku Imagine saying that as a nintendo fan

They're not as innovative as people like you seem to think, animal crossing, luigis mansion 3, pokemon mystery dungeon dx, let's go (remakes of the gameboy games).. zelda links awakening, an upcoming zelda botw sequel, metroid prime 4?!

You seem to be the stupid one for buying a switch in the first place xD

@Landanceo just ended up spending £37 😂

Got 14 cards, all common types but they were all under £3 (except charmander and voltorb, they were £6), most of them were classed as "mint/near mint" and a few in "good/great condition"

I feel bad now for spending money, but also tell myself it's an investment to justify it to myself 😂 but with this announcement prices might start going up for the old cards

@Kalmaro I guess, maybe it seems like that to me because over here in the UK people love to copy what's cool and trendy in America

Omg, how much are they going to be?

Always wanted to re-gain the old cards i had as a kid but 2nd hand ones on ebay go for silly money

Glad they're doing this,tho dont understand why the cards are over sized? Actually, it makes sense... scammers would make out their originals otherwise and sell them at inflated prices

Edit: looking on ebay some of the more common cards are reasonably priced, might have to buy a few but dont know if I want to go down this rabbit hole.. I'm trying to save money 😂
