I loved it from begining to the end! It was pure enjoyment. To put things on paralelle with the games : This film doesn't need a scenario to be great, and that was beautifully demonstrated
@Anti-Matter TBH i got a PS5 since launch and i played it like 40 hours top. I find myself playing my ehanced PS4 games on it, but the PS5 exclusive library is still thin. Switch is turning 6 yo Tomorrow, it is Incredible that it still sell that strong in a country where 25% of the population already own one
@Clyde_Radcliffe Yeah indeed! Excite Bike 64 was fantastic! I really enjoyed Motocross games back in the day, with Motocross Madness on PC, but Excite Bite 64 was also freaking great
It's just mind blowing to think that Nintendo had so many GREAT racing games, Wave Race, 1080, Diddy Kong Racing, F-Zero, Mario Kart etc.... And today only Mario Kart lives on! Common!! They proved that they could be the best even in a snowboarding game, do something with your dormant licenses!!
Hey we sold 1 Billion games and our current console is going on the podium of the most successful machine of all time, you'd better take your money back, we are so f*** up right now!!
@Serpenterror Exactly. That's a problem when younger audience discover old games via Youtube/Emulation, they don't look at all how they really used to look on a CRT.
@flightsaber Yep, and it's even more incredible if we count by household, the average household is 2.2 person in Japan, so that's about 60 millions. 1 out of 2.2 household has a Switch, that's nuts
Damn, I wish we still had arcade were I live, that's exactly as she says : It's like going to a movie, there is the whole convivial side, that's not reproducible at home
@Edu23XWiiU Well we had no idea back in the days, that what made those games so magical, we though that they hid things from us, giving them a mysterious side.
@Coalescence Those pre-internet (or at least pre wide-audiance internet) anecdotes are wonderfull. Kinda sad that today's kid can simply watch all what a game has to offer in seconds, even before a game release, the magic is gone
@RupeeClock It's called the AV Famicom, it was the first to include Composite video output in Japan, the first Famicom output only via Antenna (RF Signal) which is horrible.
Nice list, fixing things is always good. Hope to see less disconnection, it's not acceptable to have sometimes 1/3 matchs who disconnected (wired connection)
Ho yeah, let's sh*t on the whole project and therefore the whole team, including programmers, graphic designers, storyboarder, just because it didn't get along for one person.
The double layer mode 7 was used in later F Zeros on GBA. I m not sure about maximum velocity, but in the two last games they used that kind of graphics
What a fiasco, can't believe it. They need solid online instrastructure if they want to go down that way for collectors and exclusives. Will the site crash at every game that becomes available? common Nintendo, you are one of the big three
@westman98 True, but the console install base has to be taken into account. They were so few WiiU in total, and not much more Switches when the second launched. Every stars were aligned for the third, with an unprecedented install base for almost any Nintendo consoles besides the DS...
@Kirgo I perfectly get your point. I was just saying that having to buy it again digitally is not what I call Backward compatibility, if you have to double dip on something you already bought in the past.
The first PS3 was the perfect exemple of excellente backward compatibility, I remember using not only my PS2 discs, but also my PS1 discs, therefore when the console came out, I already could play dozen of games on it
Having a DVD player for the Switch would be a bit dumb also, it would only work on docked Switch and make little sense for a portable device.
This article is biased IMO, but I get other's point of view also.
@Kirgo Of course I get that, but emulators are extremely perfomants nowadays, having a PS2 native emulator on the PS5 would be extremely easy, for a matter of fact, the european PS3 used software emulation for PS2 support (the first PS3 model), and it ran like a charm, even back then. So not supporting PS2 DVD on the PS5 is a choice of Sony, they'd rather sell them again. I was just saying how stupid this article is, having WiiU backward compatibility on Switch is not an option at all, you'd need a DVD player, it's just stupid

Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Continues Its Strong Performance Amid Stiff Competition
@RainbowGazelle Releasing two version is great, but every other country count them as one (at least in Japan and US)
Re: UK Charts: Nintendo Continues Its Strong Performance Amid Stiff Competition
Still can't understand why they count S/V as two separated games..

Re: Random: Unseen Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Proto Footage Found On Rare VHS Tape
Wasn't this footage who spread the rumor that the real quest in the game was in fact hidden, and was to get all the Triforces pieces?
That what every kids said back in the days
