Re: Analyst Fears U.S. Tariffs Could Spell Disaster For Physical Games

EVIL-C

🍊 traitor is a fascist, weakening the global position of the US, has sold out the entire federal government to oligarchs and unelected bureaucrats, dismantling vital services most of the country relies on, has skyrocketed corruption, and is threatening war with Greenland, Panama, Canada and others, and that's on top of the tarrifs.
A revolution must happen. This is untenable. A complete, utter betrayal to allies and to the people. And as for him, life imprisonment is deserved. 🔥

Re: Turok Receives A New Update For Nintendo Switch, Here's What's Included

@WhiteTrashGuy Awwww. 😢 now if only Rogue Squadron would get an official switch port, you could finally make amends for that error. 🙏🥹

I remember seeing games for sale like Mario RPG and at that time I didn't know what the acronym "RPG" meant, so despite being a huge Mario fan I never asked for it as a gift nor even rented the game. It's possible none of my local stores had it available to rent, but I don't remember.
I also remember seeing the original big box EarthBound and being highly intrigued by its size and the cover, but I skipped it too and never played it until the Wii U, lol. 😅

Also it was crazy how expensive some games were back then, especially for the N64. I remember paying $80 CAD for Banjo Kazooie, and I recall seeing the Quake 2 port for $114!! + tax!!! 😵😵

@Toastmaster I can get through Doom just fine. I'm nearly 40 and am well aware of how game design has changed to make them more accessible.
Then again, we had players guides back then and magazine issues often had helpful guides as well, so it's not like everyone was an expert and never got lost in anything. People still got stuck.

@sketchturner That was my same exact problem with Turok 2. I could never legitimately beat the first level without cheats back in the N64 days, because I could never find the four missing kids. T2 is such an amazing game from a technical standpoint, the weapons, music, multiplayer, it's all great, but the campaign level design is absolutely horrendous.

Re: Opinion: Scrapping Gold Points Makes Sense For Nintendo, But It's A Bitter Pill For Loyal Fans

EVIL-C

There's nothing you NL staff guys won't defend. Push ⬜ staff defended Sony's live service garbage for years only to have it implode, now you're defending the loss of Gold coins, saying it's "not surprising". No one should take any opinions of this media company seriously. Ever.

To anyone subbing to them monthly with the little oo symbol, wtf are you doing?? 🤦‍♂️

Re: PSA: Don't Fall For This New 'Wukong' Game On The Switch eShop

@Pillowpants Oh definitely, and if we look at the numbers, the NES has 740ish official games in its entire library, I believe?
Whereas when you factor in modern digital storefronts, something the NES didn't have, where any random publisher can poop out a digital turd for $2, modern console libraries are numbering up in the thousands of titles.

We've never had a larger number of new games being produced to play as we do today, so it gives the appearance we're drowning in an ocean of garbage games, whereas the fewer, less frequent releases of past generations, of which let's be honest there are a relative ton of crap games on the NES, the bad ones don't seem as prevalent or as widespread of a problem.

Re: Nintendo Will Hold A Switch 2 Direct Presentation In April

@Hwatt I also provided context; lifelong Toronto resident, have never had any major safety-specific issue with Y&D. Sure it's annoying like with the religious zealots and transient individuals who hang out there endlessly, but those sorts of things are just a regular fact of life now. We created this. We could do something to address it and not complain endlessly, but there's no socio-political will at any level to actually address it, soooo...🤷‍♂️ I still have to live my life, and that's exactly what I try to do everyday.

Enercare centre is fine, though less convenient to access to transit users like myself, compared to Eaton Centre. 🤷‍♂️
