Re: Hamster's 'Console Archives' Is The Closest We'll Get To Virtual Console In 2026

@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. ๐Ÿ˜ข Same with NSO overall, though I like the ease of playing classics online via the app.

@Johnny_Arthur So it's fine for equivalent men in such positions to act like psychopathic dictators, I'm guessing? Oh boy... ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

One thing you need to learn is that a lot of these corporate suits are very similar. I am completely indifferent to Devon.

(not so) fun fact: men caused all of the planets' wars, poverty, radicalization and general problems.

Re: Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period

@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. ๐Ÿ˜ฐ
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. ๐Ÿฆ•
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.

@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 ๐Ÿ’ฉ's about Pokemon, Air Riders, Mario Tennis or Hyrule Warriors, for one reason or another. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Re: Shovel Knight Dig Gets Limited Switch Physical Edition From Super Rare Games

EVIL-C

@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.

@OmnitronVariant Game and console maker that I enjoy, advertises games and consoles to me that I may enjoy, how dare they! ๐Ÿง

Now when it comes to something like social media, which is one of the most horribly toxic things humans have ever invented, that's an entirely different matter. They can all go burn in a fire. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ“™๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ”ฅ
