Re: Video: The History Of Nintendo's Game & Watch Range

Elvie

Brawl got me into Game & Watch and it made me realized that after the Gallery and Collections series ended, there's still a whole bunch of G&Ws that haven't been remade or rereleased.

Honestly, I hope we can get some Switch game that compiles every one, even the licensed ones like Snoopy, for an anniversary or something like that.

Re: Netflix's Resident Evil Series Has Been Officially Confirmed, First Details Released

Elvie

Netflix has ruined Dragon's Lair, Avatar, and now Resident Evil.

Any guesses for what's next?

Edit: I typed this while on break at my job so I kinda rushed this comment. I, or anybody not involved on these projects, can offer a valid critical opinion until these projects come out but we can all express our skepticism at them.

Based upon what I have heard from the development of these pieces of content, I don't have high hopes.

Re: Random: Zelda: Breath Of The Wild Transformed Into Stunning Studio Ghibli-Inspired Poster

@ThanosReXXX Story is that Hayao Miyazaki's son, Goro, was brought on to direct by producers against Hayao's will due to his inexperience and potential allegations of nepotism. It also didn't help that Hayao spent years acquiring the film rights to the book (the author feared that a film adaptation would turn out bad), only to get caught up in another project before he could adapt it.

This caused some rift between the two and some believe Goro changed the story from the book to reflect their relationship.

All this combined made for a rather mediocre film, something which is almost unheard of for Studio Ghibli.

The good thing is that I believe they had made up and Goro redeemed himself by directing From Up On Poppy Hill.

@JimmySpades I'm ashamed to admit that I haven't watched Grave Of The Fireflies. It's something I need to get around to doing.

@ThanosReXXX I recommended Spirited Away since it always seemed like a popular pick but my personal favorites would be My Neighbor Totoro and Castle In The Sky.

Although, I do like Spirited Away very much, something that probably extends to almost any Studio Ghibli film.

Re: Review: Quarth (3DS eShop / GB)

"You control one of six ships — the choice is yours — but it's really just a glorified cursor; the only difference between them is aesthetic."

Not entirely true. The first three ships play different music tracks during gameplay from the last three.

The first set of ships plays original music tracks while the second set plays Game Boy renditions of the original arcade music.

Re: Paper Mario Producer Says It's No Longer Possible To Modify Mario Characters

Elvie

"Since Paper Mario: Sticker Star, it’s no longer possible to modify Mario characters or to create original characters that touch on the Mario universe. That means that if we aren’t using Mario characters for bosses, we need to create original characters with designs that don’t involve the Mario universe at all, like we’ve done with Olly and the stationery bosses".

Are they still following one of the same guidelines that helped ruin the reputation of the Paper Mario series?

Re: Hail To The King, Baby - Duke Nukem 3D Is Coming To Switch This Month

Elvie

One of Doom's strengths is the ability to immerse the player as a space marine.

Duke Nukem's strength is being entertained by a definable character that took the best elements of action heroes along with Ash Williams and Roddy Piper.

Both games have solid and comparable gunplay, but their approaches to the playable character are near opposites. Either way, you feel pretty cool after beating a map.

Re: The Super Game Boy Is Now 26 Years Old

@JRokujuushi There was more love put into the Super Gameboy than the Gameboy Player, that's for sure.

The S.G.B. allowed you to customize the color palettes and borders while the G.B. Player had the revolutionary timer function.

@mesome713 That article does say it's something of a rumor and that the person who brought it to light doesn't even have 100% confidence in his sources.

It was also reported that Death Stranding was a bestseller in Japan and it was the most successful debut of a new game I.P. over there while making the top charts in several other countries.
