@Samalik it's more ridiculous that Konami can't be bothered to do proper physical versions themselves, and they Outsource it to a garbage company like legendary rip-off games.
@The_Nintendo_Expat I can at least appreciate in Sony's case where if some PS1/2/P classic that was purchased years ago on PS3, if it's re-released on PS4/5, it's usually offered as a free upgrade. There's something neat about the novelty of playing a PSP game natively on a PS5, or a PS1 title like Syphon filter, as rough as it is, lol.
The keyword being "if", as the modern classics library pales in comparison to what PS3 offered. ๐ข Same with NSO overall, though I like the ease of playing classics online via the app.
@The_Nintendo_Expat And that being a lot of "oh the VC sucks, etc.." sort of rhetoric. I'm a defender of the VC since it was originally revealed. It was brilliant, and it's sorely missed. ๐ญ
@RupeeClock Very strange cause anime, like video games, are now mainstream. The joke is on the 1980s out of touch boomer, at least to me. ๐ซค I Lol'ed at the original joke.
@CaptainQuo Very true, she was a tyrant. (so as an aside, seeing the new Japanese PM praising Thatcher, in this day and age, is horrifying). My main point was that, men in equivalent positions have done far worse.
@Jumwa Hence why I just bought a prebuilt gaming PC last month instead of individual parts. Couldn't Beleive how much some components have skyrocketed. It's madness. Fk this AI scam. ๐ก
@Discostew Ah yes, maybe the way it was worded originally came off as unclear when I first read it. And now with the issue of memory prices going through the roof, I just see little point in waiting to buy consoles anymore. I remember how shocked I was to see the PS4 get a price increase years after launch. I'm old enough to remember the formula that consoles always go down in price over time, not up. ๐ฐ Now it happened to PS5/XB, and I won't be surprised if S2 increases as well, but not cause of Nintendo "being greedy" as some misinformed people imagine.
@kraventhehunter1 With how brainrotted kids (and adults) are these days, I certainly don't want Nintendo to compromise their design philosophy and start producing mobage-type slop. I'll happily stay a gaming dinosaur. ๐ฆ
Stuff like NEX will not be a serious threat to the traditional gaming market. It was also very cheap by comparison, but that cheapness comes with limitations, being mostly Kinect-type applications. To date, NEX has sold about 800K.
@Enigk Very unfair to compare Zelda and Metroid, the two are quite different. While I enjoyed BOTW at the time, TOTK demonstrates the true awfulness of this modern Zelda formula, and it needs to change ASAP.
@Discostew Importers pay higher costs for goods when tarrifs are levied, which are passed on to the local consumers. That is how tarrifs work. In any transaction, there is always a domestic and a foreign entity.
@Neonix Uhh, Mario Kart is absolutely a system seller. The attach rate is among the highest of all 1st party games throughout generations.
Happy with my S2, won't end up paying more when the price hikes come again, I just want some more compelling exclusives like DK or Metroid. Another 3D Mario is desperately overdue. As well as a Zelda that abandons the awful BOTW aesthetic/mechanics.
I couldn't give two ๐ฉ's about Pokemon, Air Riders, Mario Tennis or Hyrule Warriors, for one reason or another. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

It's truly disgusting that Capcom outsourced this to Legendary ripoff games. Capcom, a multi-billion dollar legacy publisher with hundreds of games under their belt... ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@RupeeClock Then one discovers a game years later, one looks for a copy, only to discover in horror that it was published by Limited Run and is now most likely unavailable. The preorder window has never been a valid excuse for these continued practices.
And that's aside from the drop in quality, the corner cutting, the outright lying to customers, etc.. Absolute garbage company.
It's offset for the little plastic security tab which held carts in place when the GB was powered on.
And these proclaimed "hardcore" online fans who a Lego GB would appeal to forgot that? Time to make a 15 min YT video essay. ๐๐
