Re: Opinion: Nintendo Gains A Rep Boost As Sony & Microsoft Lay Waste To The Industry

Emacster

It’s been 15 years since a new elder scrolls. And 11 years since Fallout 4. You can’t just sit there and do nothing for that long and not expect consequences. I think it has been said Microsoft is LOSING 64¢ on every dollar right now. You are saying these people ARE the industry? Then what the hell have they been doing for 15 years?!!! Goodbye and good riddance.

Re: Opinion: By Definition, Pokémon TCG Is No Longer A Hobby

I bought two of the $60 sets holiday 2024 for my boys because GameStop had them for $30. They were excited. We played the game. And then spent months looking mostly unsuccessfully for more cards to spend birthday and allowance money on. Now my kids still enjoy a pack when received but we all just roll our eyes in disgust about the whole thing. Those same $60 packs now go for $90 at GameStop. IF you can get one. And hey it’s actually a REALLY fun game! Seems most have forgotten about the whole GAME part lol.

Re: Video: The Great Physical Vs. Digital Switch 2 Debate

I do enjoy having physical games. They look nice on a shelf. And being able to go back and play them later is nice as well. But I do get tired of the (probably not as big of a deal as I make it to be) decision of which 11 physical games are going with me on a trip. With digital they’re just all there. A click away. Storage becomes the issue. Even on my ROG ALLY X I have 1TB internal and 1TB external and still not enough room. The issue for me down the road will be storage size and price. My 512GB express card is already painful.

Re: Feature: Nintendo May Win Its Case Against The US Government, But Tariffs Are Here To Stay

@CaptainQuo I will reply once more and then let it go. I appreciate you being nice and open to talk.

A journalist should report facts and data.

The comments section is for thoughts and opinions.

It shouldn’t be the other way around. As I read thru this comments section there are many people’s opinions who I don’t agree with. But that’s totally ok. It’s their right to say it. I think some of them are dead wrong. But it’s ok because it’s their opinion and their right to speak it.

I hope you’re right about the UK. I would rather be wrong about such a thing. I hope you have a good rest of your day.

Glad I’m not the only one noticing the lock down on political article comments sections.

Of course this is a UK based website where freedom of speech no longer exists for the most part anyways so maybe it’s par for the course.

Anyway I’ve really appreciated this website over the years. I almost left it recently but it’s one of the few spots where you can get good Nintendo news. I especially appreciate the game update info.

So maybe approach politics without bias. Instead of “the orange haired maniac is gonna increase tariffs again” you can just you know, report the facts. “Nintendo will only get a short reprieve from tariffs.” And let the people decide their own opinions. Just my two cents.

Re: Talking Point: Metroid Prime 4 And The Burden Of Being 'Good Enough'

Emacster

I managed to pick up the game for $40 because of GameStop. With all the bad press around the game I wouldn’t have paid $70 for it. Upon playing it I found it to be…good! Not great. But good. And it’s the first game I sat down to 100% in a while because it felt manageable. 16 hours 100%. So to me it I’m learning more and more to ignore the online ranting. I’d say the 78 on metacritic is a good score. And it’s not a bad thing. Is the game genre changing? No. Was it good. Yeah. Was it worth $70. That’s a deeper topic.
