Re: Reminder: Tetris 99 Is Hosting A Metroid Dread Crossover Event This Weekend

Donutman

Just finished 1st play through. Just under 9 hours, no guides and only about an hour of retrying to nail final boss so I’ve beat him 4 times now. Great game, everything a Metroid fan could want from a new game. I feel like there is a hint towards zero mission coming to switch, why would they picture it at end? either way, going to replay on hard mode and then I think I’m going to replay other m since dread kind of reminds me of it in the action department.

Re: Review: Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy: Cloud Version - A Disastrous Way To Play A Great Game

Donutman

Well, after playing the demo on my phone, I went home and replayed it just to see. And it ran just fine both times. I am picking this up once it drops to like $20. I am not a fan of cloud games, but even buying this for $60,in Xbox then selling it for $40 in a few months, at least I’ll still be able to play again if I want someday. Still not a fan of cloud future…

Re: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy Gets A Meaty File Size, By Switch Standards

Donutman

These memory complaints are just dumb. Since n64 era, I’ve been managing storage on every device, pc, console, whatever it is. My iPhone runs out if space, need to clean up photos and games. My ps3 needed a 100 gb hard drive, my Xbox and it’s 500gb is out of room and needs to be managed. My switch went from 256gb on launch day to a 1tb about a year ago. Guess what, it’s filling up. When I get an oled, I’m probably just getting a 2tb as well and someday, it might be full as well.
At same time, not every person will need 2tb on their switch and Nintendo is smart for not having those people pay for extra onboard memory and giving them the option of s cheap 64gb if they wanted.

Re: Random: Forget Dread, It's All About Metroid: Other M On Twitter Right Now

Donutman

it’s still a great game, just not a great Metroid game, but a great action game that takes place in the Metroid universe. The gameplay, graphics, overall it is a decent game. It just that with unskippable cutscenes and them turning Sami’s into a whiny protagonist instead of the badass she is, it ruined the game for fans who were hoping for a sequel to super Metroid, which is how they sold it…
I also will say I beat it more times then the prime games, and even 100%/0% completed it on hard mode. It’s a great action game, and I’d love to see a port on switch.

Re: Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The "Cloud Versions" Of Kingdom Hearts On Switch?

Donutman

I will only on a 90% sale someday, as with all cloud and most digital purchases. I have no issues playing cloud games, and even playing piggybacking off my phone. Cloud gaming is the future, just like Netflix has taken over dvds. Who here still gets dvds in the mail, as who streams them? 10 more years and we won’t have physical games and everything will be through the cloud or purchased and downloaded digitally.

Re: Feature: So, Who Will Be The Final Fighter In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

Donutman

Sneaky Nintendolife, I had to read the entire thing to to see that waluigi is at the bottom, and he has the best final smash of anyone.
Most of that list is not going to happen at all, or prob not.
I don’t care who it is. I will be playing whoever it ends up being, and it doesn’t matter who they add, since people will still complain because _________ isn’t on the roster.

Re: Poll: Do You Use The Black Or White Theme On Your Nintendo Switch?

Donutman

It needs folders. Outside that, I’m fine with it the way it is. I prefer my switch in basic white, but keep my iPhone on dark mode. But just give us folders, and we will stop complaining. Yay for anything else, but just give us folders. I also think all Nintendo should do is allow us to use screen shots as a background. How hard could that be to program?

Re: Soapbox: The Era Of Rock Band, Guitar Hero And Plastic Instruments Was Silly But Special

Donutman

Not like I was a huge fan, but GH is a fun series to play with other people. I still have 2 guitars that get dug out a couple times a year. However, today, we play beat saber and Friday night (one of my kids is obsessed), so the music genre isn’t completely dead. Have to say if beat saber had guitar heroes library, it would be 10x better. Sadly I’m not a fan of a lot of the songs.

Re: Toshiba Sounds Alarm About Ongoing Chip Supply Issues

Donutman

Everyone above: More games will mean more system sales too.

This is a worldwide problem in more then just the electronics industry. Every industry is breaking down, shortages, long waits on orders, increased prices.
I am hoping to get a launch switch oled. I could not get a preorder and am hoping I can get one at my work, but every once in a while, we get word of like 10 ps5’s that arrived, and even us workers go on break and stand in line just to have them gone before we can get one. I am hoping to pick up both Metroid and oled switch at the same time.

Re: Talking Point: If Nintendo Switch Online Adds Game Boy, Why Not Throw In GBA, Too?

Donutman

I owned a gameboy fat and 20+ games and played it until the ds came out. Moved onto that system and 3ds etc…. Now, there also 0 gameboy games I want to replay. There are gameboy advance games I’d like to play as I missed most of those, but personally, I see no use from gameboy being added, as it’s a step backwards from even the nes, and a lot of the games just don’t hold up. I regretted the few I bought for my 3ds and would not be excited.
and I guess I am one of the few who bought a Wii U and has over 300 games for it, and I think I own all past Metroids, but without checking, I can’t be certain. I feel like both gba metroids came to Wii U.

Re: Talking Point: How Much Would You Pay For A Mint Copy Of Super Mario Bros.?

Donutman

Considering I watched a video about this fraud issue, and I am poor, I paid $40 for a game and watch version and with my other several versions I have on 10 other devices, I probably paid $5 for, I guess I would pay $100 for a mint copy. But others who have tons of money, and want to create an artificial market, well, they can pay $2million if they want.
if these videos are to be believed, someone who rated the game, bought the game, went on a pr campaign to promote this market of retro games. Now all is suckers who have a game that thinks it’s worth money, are paying these same people to have their rated. And these rating companies are making money off buying their own products, and acting like this game is really worth $2million.
This is capitalism at its finest and it’s also why I choose to not spend money with certain companies.

Re: UK Newspaper Comes Under Fire For Hinting That Video Games Are "The Next Global Pandemic"

Donutman

Blah blah blah. As a gamer, dad of 4 kids, 3 of which game, it is my job to make sure my kids’ screen time is limited and what they are doing while on them. Are there days my kids have 10 hours of screen time? Yes. Are there days where we don’t turn on a device and spend entire day doing anything else? Yes to that as well.
It’s the parents who get their kids iPhone/consoles at 8 years old, allow them to have those in their bedrooms. And those same parents don’t care that when their kids come out of their room, they are 25, still living there, not contributing, and still act like the 8 year old that got an iPhone. it’s not the kids fault…

Re: Gabe Newell: Pricing Valve's Switch-Like Steam Deck Was "Painful"

Donutman

I have a Nintendo to play Nintendo 1st party games, then some awesome 3rd party and indies. I have an Xbox/pc for everything else. As cool as this might get seem, it didn’t work for Sony to try to take on Nintendo and the handheld gaming market. Gabe could have probably made more money just making half life 3 and porting it to consoles.
