Re: New Screenshots Of Fire Emblem: Three Hopes Surface Online

@Xenobound94

Same. I just recently restarted first FE Warriors, had like 300h on first play. I have also played Zelda Warriors, even I have not been interested these type of games otherwise.

I think it just adds something different to play when you are bored and want to switch genre.

Re: Ubisoft: Players "Don't Get" What Makes NFTs So Beneficial

Finntendo

@inenai

And what is used to buy and sell NFTs? Cryptocurrency. It's ridicilous try claim "NFTs don't ruin enviroment, it's much more ecological" when all transactions use cryptotcurrency which is extremely harmful and energy eater at the moment. It wouldn't exist without cryptocurrencies.

It's like claiming it's totalyl fine buy producs made by childlabour because I am not the one making them work.

Re: 'WATA Certified' Copy Of Sonic The Hedgehog Sells For Record Price

Finntendo

@Poodlestargenerica

It's not. It's manipulated market. I don't mean all selling rare copies in general but this insane high prices (like those million dollar Marios) WATA does the certificates games owned by auction house and then auction house either buys their own items or basicly give someone..I am sorry.. invest money to buy their game and then they sell game again with better price within next year or so. Same guys are behind WAKA. It's a scheme ran by handful of people.
Market manipulation has always been around and it will be around. There is always new trendy thing and people hype and will be caught by hype because they think they are going to get rich.

So one rates and one sells their own items. I think YT vid explains it well.

And idk what WATA owner complains, Jobst guy had quite good proof for the information he presented, he wasn't making stuff up and throwing accusations without evidence to back up.

Best NintendoLife could do is to stop giving attention to these.

Re: Hacker Group Not Happy About Nintendo's "Censorship" And "Legal Scare Tactics"

Finntendo

If you give car keys to drunk person, they go drive and cause accident, you will be charged - you cannot say "I didn't know they go to drive"

Hack away, brew away for your own fun. But start making profit from it is obviously a nono.

Now everyone put yourself in position you come up with some sytem. Then someone else makes hack to bypass official stuff, sells it for profit and people can get free stuff that would normally bring you money. Would you just go "awww, good for them"

Even "Nintendo does well" isn't really excuse to accept this kind of illegal thing.

Re: Guide: Best Nintendo Switch Micro SD Cards

Finntendo

@DrDaisy Yeah that was great with WiiU, had my 1TB WD external drive.

..but that would not work with portable thing Nintendo went with Switch

I bought 400gb card last fall. I live middle of nowhere and would need to drive to 100km to get a game (and it's not even certain places have it in stock) or if gamerelease is on Friday (like it usually is) - and I order online, I would not get it until Monday evening. So I have been ending up buying digital games.

Re: One Month Later, Animal Crossing: New Horizons’ Review-Bombing Is Only Getting Worse

Finntendo

Island sharing is bit annoying, but me and husband are still married and managed to agree on turns who plays when. Only annoying is that he is "island representative" so i cannot start any inclines/bridges or housing. But so far we have not fought where a bridge should be.

if there is more than 2 players in household, then it can be really annoying.

"There isn't clear mission" ...because there isn't. This isn't adventure or rpg.

...I always rememver Xenoblade Chronicles review from Amazon UK, where someone gave 1 star because they didn't understand the battle mechnanism and was stuck in the first bigger fight because they did nothing.

...or another where some shooting game, where they yelled it being ridicilous and nothing dies blablabla. Someone commented "you can switch weapons from button X" and original reviewer said "what? you can change weapons"

Re: Nintendo Switch Players Advised To Secure Accounts After Numerous Unauthorised Login Reports

Finntendo

@NotoriousWhiz

I was wondering this. I mean, they ARE getting info from some place. It's not like they magically come up with your account and just like that break in. They get bits of info from somewhere.

I don't have credit card stored, I have not linked my account to social media, I keep my pc clean and I do not clicketyclick any suspicious links and keep my pw updated.

I am not very confident using authenticators because if something happens wiht my phone... then it's all gone. Even I have sold my soul to Google already by having Android.

Re: Coronavirus Isolation Seems To Be Causing A Spike In Wii Sports' Resale Value

Finntendo

Heh, I was wondering thise when I was organising my games (and Wii Sports came along)

My life hasn't changed so no need, but I did buy Ring Fit (which I've been wanting for a while) and.. I think this is enough for me. Even my WiiU is there next to Switch.

I am not sure if I want to go back intense Wii remote waving. I admit "back then" - I got Wii shoulder from playing Rayman Raving Rabbids... I wonder if tennis would do the same.

Re: Hundreds Of Fake NES Mini Consoles Seized By Anti-Counterfeiting Taskforce In The US

Finntendo

Maybe bit offtopic, but there is this one thing that still amuses me about NES/SNES minis.

All the dung that Nintendo got for the NES mini release, boo, lame, cheap, who cares, preinstalled games and no change to get more. Boo. BOO. BOOOOO. BAD IDEA AGAIN NINTENDO AND YOUR FOOLISH ATTEMPS.

And yet these consoles sold/sell extremely well and if this was suuuuuuuuuuuch a bad idea because Nintendo is dying and so last season - why we have PS1 mini and MegaDrive mini?

Also that streetvalue estimate seems... quite... high.

Re: Anniversary: amiibo Have Been Draining Our Bank Accounts For Five Years Now

Finntendo

@Thwomp_Stomper

Oh that is wonderful price. Here Toys R Us (at least my local) didnt' have much Nintendo stuff, at least not amiibos, in the end.

That is very, very nice price. I just checked amiibos and ugh. New ones are actually 22.90€? Even with startin 16.90€ they were priciest. It's not like they've gone up price elsewhere.....
I think most expensive one I've bought is 27€? Now I just stalk when they go to 10-12€ range. Or order bunch from German Amazon.

Re: Anniversary: amiibo Have Been Draining Our Bank Accounts For Five Years Now

Finntendo

I REGRET NOTHING!

....I have about 60. Yarn Yoshis are most adorable, most important for me are Ryu and Piranha Plant. I have not bothred with recolours of Inklings or with 8-bit thingies. Last ones I bought were Odyssey Mario, Bowser and Peach when those were on sale.

I love them. So well made and I love figurines. My hubby once asked what is this... no matter what closet door I hope, Amiibos keep falling (I hid a few even he doesn't frown to my Amiibo buying since he knows I only buy when have some extra moneyz). One of Amiibos is my husband's and it is - of course - MegaMan.

I have to admit I have not kept up with Amiibos recently, only that Piranha Plant. ..Should check out. Hmm.

Re: Epic Sues Another Fortnite Tester For Leaking Chapter 2

Finntendo

Well Epic Games in DEMANDING that amount, it's not set quite yet.

But they broke NDA and they should be punished, as simple as that. How much and with what is court to decide. And yes. It needs to be bad enough to make others think twice before pulling this stuff for their 15mins of internetfame.

They chose to break the contract. There is only one guilty part in this case and it's the guy who did this. Not Epic Games.

Re: And Just Like That, Fortnite Is No More

Finntendo

Nah, publicity stunt nothing more. And seems very working one.
Ofc bit annoying for the players if they cannot play it for this stunt.

I really don't care (aka don't hate either), since I don't play and I am about 20 years too old for Fortnite (I am 34).

But wanted to comment anyways.

Re: UK Doctors Can Now Refer Young Patients To Be Treated For Video Game Addiction

Finntendo

Unhealthy addiction is problem no matter what the subject is. Alcoholic doesn't seem what' s the problem with the drinking, druguser doesn't seem problem with them using. Someone constantly checking their phone and social media and being angry if someone disturbs them, it's a problem too. I

"I played a lot and I am fine" Maybe. But not all are. Wasn't there last year news that some preteen girl had peed in her pants because she couldn't leave Fortnite to go to bathroom? I think that is problem. Children, who get furious if someone takes their tabled/phone/console away, they have already a problem.

I played a lot as kid (I still do when I have time) yet I was fine not playing or I was fine when my parents asked me to turn off the console. Or if I did not , my father would cut the power from the whole house and that was that.

Blaming games on bad parenting is stupid. Game causing problems for your child. You are an adult. You make decisions. You make the rules - not the children. As hard as it is to deal with the raging child. Get help to behaviour if needed. Take the game/console away and explain. Keep it away until child has finally balanced their emotions about the issue. In general parents have lost the control to their children. It shows up in EVERYTHING.

I remember defending POGO (even I don't play myself since I live rural and no pokemons here) when people got mad at Niantic to remove the game. No. the game doesn't make the child run in front of the car. Game says not to run on roads. If there is caraccident, do you blame the driver or should the carcompany stop manufacturing the car?

If playing isn't problem for you, great. It still doesn't remove the fact that some children are. If you cannot go to bathroom or even take a shower for days because you cannot pause the game. In whose mind that is healthy? Why is it such a problem to understand that real problems exist even it doesn't concern you?
How many of you is saying it's fine when your own child starts destorying property because you ask to turn off the game? Do any of you have children?
