They really need to start making deals with IP holders to get some actually interesting and good games on the service, beyond the obvious first party ones.
@NintendomPower Right? Super CV is absolutely amazing, at least from an aesthetic perspective. The versatility of the 8-directional whip also makes it the only "classicvania" I enjoy at all.
Happily ignoring the know-it-alls, hope more videos of the same kind are in the cards. I knew the things, but I don't see how that diminishes the value of the video. Why be negative when you can be positive.
@Not_Soos Massive applause mate. You nailed the point of why I personally have a severe distaste for that kind of talk. It's a reductionism of the human, as well as a dehumanization of that which does not fit into that reductionism.
@Arkay I share the sentiment. Complaining seems to be the go-to reaction for just about anything around here, or any part of the Internet for that matter. Hell, even in real life people mistake complaining for a personality trait.
I'm also a 100% certain that most of the people who are acting like they're personally outraged never intended to buy anything any more on these shops.
The entitlement on display here is absolutely mindblowing. Surely, it would be great if Nintendo's entire back catalog was available in the Virtual Console format, and they'd implement a console-independent system that ensures you can access your purchases on any new system they produce. BUT! Nintendo is not in any way required to do so, legally, ethically or otherwise. Pretending like Nintendo has some kind of moral obligation to cater to your own personal wants is so utterly mega cringe to me.
I pirate whatever retro game I want to play. I don't feel morally compromised in doing so. But I also don't blame Nintendo for "forcing me to do it". Own the decisions you make, and stop making excuses. What in the ever loving hell.
@Poco_Lypso The device you used to type that comment was produced using child labour. I get the sentiment, but at the same time cancel culture is super cringy to me because they only seem to care about things that are social media-relevant in order to boost their social image or image of self while ignoring far more important issues.

Re: Game-Breaking Bug Reportedly Discovered In Switch Online Version Of Kirby 64
@Not_Soos nothing wrong with not being part of an outrage culture for something as insignificant as an n64 rom.

Just... don't do the thing? Problems have solutions, outrage isn't always the answer.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Two Gorgeous New Areas In Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Some of these comments... wow there's grass in the game that's not original. The first game sucked because pressing A is too complicated.

@DK-Fan you sound like you need a banana🍌
Re: Reggie "Hated" Donkey Konga And Was Worried It Would Hurt The DK Brand
While he's right, all of these snippets from interviews or his book come across as self-congratulatory pieces of common sense.
Juxtapose that with the book about Iwata, compiled by people who found him inspiring, showing true wisdom and humility.

Re: Koumajou Densetsu: Scarlet Symphony Is The Castlevania You've Been Waiting For
I've enjoyed Touhou Luna Nights and Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, so I will be checking this one out (as they seem to be related in some capacity).
Afaik this is only one of two games in the series, here's to hoping the second one comes later!

Shops gotta close some time. The entitled wails continue. I really hate the "call out" culture.

Re: Review: Unsighted - A Fantastic Top-Down Metroidvania With A Warm, Vintage Feel
@DeclanS98 That's not a good assumption to make. Calling games like this a metroidvania just shows ignorance of gaming history and genre distinctions.

Be a lot cooler if you wouldn't call everything a Metroidvania.
