The Nes was unbelievably great in being competitive even after it had gone clearly obsolete (which happened only after a couple of years it shipped, at the hand of the Sega Master System).

What kept it alive was the great collection of games it could run. Those games were so amazing that they made it possible for the Nes to keep on being sold for a long while even after the Snes was already out.

Anyway no, I wouldn't buy it today, especially because most of the interesting games it could run were ported either to the snes or the gba.

Still too much IMO. I feel like some games are purposely overpriced so that people rush getting them when they are on sale. Which means often.

This must be the fastest video to be removed I've ever seen. Errm seen not.

Please Konami, give us a subscription we have to pay yearly to play some of your old games, and some silly online space where to store saved games!
Oh, that doesn't sound like a great idea? Weird, some other publisher is doing the same.

Well I hope it won't be like Doom 3 on any platform.

@Noid what's a "romantic identity" exactly? Are you by any chance suggesting that "romantic" people must have some fixed patterns when choosing their sexual identity?

I swear I've just found an original SNES for around 100€ and a Retro Advance adapter for another 100€ on the bay in a 5 minute search, both in good condition. And I doubt a NES to SNES adapter would be more than 30€.
Had I really preordered this, I wouldn't say it out loud.

@SwitchForce no, I wasn't being ironic. Anyway, I'm into anime/manga enough to know there are several kinds, but not all of them can be considered acceptable in the West. Afterall, with all due respect, we're talking about a country that still has some record numbers for harassments on public transport.
I don't really know if those ads/magazines you're talking about are diffused outside Japan, I've personally never seen them, but if they exist then I agree on censoring them too, together with risky games.

@SwitchForce

"These are the very hypocrites that if you look at their own lives/lifestyle would be very different from the facade they show us everyday."

For instance?

"Do people who think buyers of such games can't think for themselves nowdays."

That depends on the buyer. There are too many out there to believe they're all sane.
I remember growing up watching some japanese cartoons in which some characters peeked at females' panties, but I was a child and back then I didn't fully understand the meaning of those actions. Now it would feel weird to know that an adult seeks for that kind of contents. Really weird.

How great. Now I can get back to ignoring this IP completely.

@smashboy2000 that's a good point, but I guess the movie is good because it already has a positive balance, whereas it was really meant to make the videogame sales increase. Which is where it's gonna fail for the second time.

@sixrings you don't need a 1080p 60fps capable console to run Nintendo exclusives. But most games that run on a Switch are also available for the PS4 Pro. If somebody chooses to get a Switch then he probably isn't interested in those specs.

@sixrings if you want a PS4, get a PS4. I'm fine with my Switch.

@Krisi unfortunately those 4kg of oranges are of a kind I don't like, while I'd like to be able to choose them one by one.

I want to buy 10kg of oranges and they sell me apples, then tell me that's the only way I can get 1kg of oranges. Oh, but those oranges are good, so I have no right to complain.

Sounds legit.

@Bermanator you could do that for the initial generations, then those who earn enough would free themselves, and since their population would inevitably end up on mixing with yours, you or your kids would risk to be enslaved if you ever get into debt.
It's funny how those who invoke prevarication never think it could turn against themselves.

@konbinilife Imagine if they could split those raises among all the workers instead. Do you think their gain would be relevant?

Somehow this reminds me of the old Filmation's Ghost Busters. But I don't know why.

@Bermanator sure, go for it, but don't complain when merchandise will cost you 10 times as much.
It's probably going to take a century or so and a few riots before you can afford stuff at a reasonable price again.
Well, that unless you restore slavery, but in that case I'd be worried if I was you.

@Ventilator I wonder why

What the... HOW do you even play this on a Switch? The only way to play it decently is by using a mouse.

That's the story of 40-y.o. guys forcing their kids to go to the cinema to watch daddy's favourite videogame character. But there's Mr Carrey acting as a mediator between these two generations.

I've never seen a stamp or a painting or a coin or even a videogame that were purposely made "for collectors" that actually ended up in somebody's real collection.

Unfortunately they'll keep on making silly "collector's editions" from scratch as long as they find paying people. The good part is that nobody's required to buy them.

I don't get all this surprise. A movie can be silly and for kids but still fun, fun and for kids but smart (Shrek), silly but for adults (either fun or not, there are endless examples) etc...

Anyway, I don't expect a movie based off a videogame to be smart, so I hope it's fun at least. But I still wouldn't call it "a must-see" though, as somebody defined it on this website (LOL), especially as the fans of this character must be all around their forties.

And, before somebody gets offended for whatever reason that's beyond my understanding, watching a silly movie has never made anybody silly, at least not that alone.

@nab1 now she looks like she ate up all other mk characters. But the jaws are still there.

Isn't that my mother-in-law's pic in her youth?

This has been a very clever marketing operation. They started with an initial character design that purposely made people puke, then redesigned it at the obvious people's reaction, making them believe they "listened" (L O L).
So now people who watch it have the illusion that they had a weight in the making.

At the end, those who watch it will see exactly what they want to see, as always.

But it's really yet another silly movie about a videogame, which should be enough of a detail to judge it. I might decide to watch it if I ever get so bored that I don't know how to spend a couple of hours. But it won't happen at a cinema though.

@Dr_Corndog you know dude, glueing your tongue to somebody's a$$ just because he's more powerful is condescension. So it all depends on the motivation. Nevertheless, the good part is that it gives you zero credibility if you ever decide to call anybody childish just because they don't share your ideas (...ideas?)

@Smashfan502 that has nothing to do with my embarrassment, it's just that you should always be able to adapt your behavior to the context you find yourself. In fact you shouldn't even wear such things at all in a serious context, as that shows you're focused to the task you're taking care of.

Why not? That would be an excellent combo.

What I wouldn't do right now is buying a Vita's successor and restart collecting games from scratch. No, really, it's like I did tho'.

They both look good but I'd never buy the black one, as they tend to lose tint at the each unavoidable tiny scratch.

@Chibi_Manny there are very precise reasons why some automatic (=that do not need a battery) watches cost that much, most are hand made and certified, and made with particular material, and I'm just talking about the very basic ones.
If you find this watch too expensive, then take a look at the ones by Credor that go for around $400000.
What's the point of owning them? Some people consider them an investment, some other just want to display their status, some believe that owning one will make them happier or at least look cooler, and so on. It's really like buying a supercar or a huge house: do you really need them? No, you don't. But people keep on buying them.

@frogopus that's a good point, I'd feel a bit embarrassed to display the logo of a videogame in some environments. The more subtle, the better.

@WWEEEEEEEEEEEEEE so you purposely registered just to tell me "shut the heck up"? You need help dude, you seriously do.

@pip_muzz talk about saying "I'd pay double the price to have a feature like that". You really do, in this case.

Are you so sure PS5 is going to sell so well that Nintendo needs to do something about it?
I know several PS fans and PS4 owners who aren't going to upgrade.

It's unbelievable how a silly topic like this can attract 250+ comments.
So, I want a bigger screen, bluetooth, 5G, headphones, external HD, powerful cpu & gpu... In other words I want a PC.

Gah...yet another game you pay double just because it runs on switch. Gonna play it on android.

I wanna see it running on switch.

I suspect those who rated it still live in the nineties.

No offense, but I guess there are better places to visit in Japan. Let us know how much they want.

Ok, it's a Nintendo fan site, so does anybody else want to tell us how BotW is a waaay better game?

@Jayofmaya I've never done any comparison between sports and esports, and still don't get where hypocrisy is in my comment. So let me ask, since there are so many poor sportsmen around, why is an "eSportsman" supposed to get paid just as such? If he can find somebody who pays him, fine, otherwise why am I supposed to care?

@Dr_Corndog there, now that's hypocrisy.

@Blizzia believe me, I do share your feelings, but I'm 100% sure that's the way it works. I saw it, I felt it on my skin, and although it sucks, it's totally real.

About taxes, I still have to try the feeling of living somewhere people are happy to pay taxes but anyway well, if it isn't evaders' fault, then it must your government's lol

@Dr_Corndog try what? Seriously, this is getting really childish, and I'm in my 40s, so go call kid someone else. Still, two replies and no argumentations whatsoever anyway.

@mystman12
I hope your comment is ironic. Indie developers, youtube creators, twitch streamers, authors and artists get paid only when somebody wants to pay them, so those are totally wrong examples. You might be misled by the fact that some sportsmen are billionaire but, as I said very clearly, most sportsmen are poor and those who are rich got so because they are paid by big entertainment companies. They don't get paid because they are sportsmen, they get paid because they entertain (paying) fat people who pass their sorry lives on some couch.

@Dr_Corndog uhhh now it's clear what you meant, that totally made me change my mind. You meant exactly nothing, thank you for clarifying.

@Blizzia err mate, I do understand the bitterness of finding out that sometimes investing somewhere doesn't pay back, but it's really something that happens everyday. A lot of people end up on doing jobs they didn't study for.

It definitely DOES work that way everywhere in the world, although you might find it unfair.

As for public sanity getting wrecked, it happens because that's supposed to be paid by your government. If nobody wants to pay taxes, that's how it ends.
On the opposite side, why doesn't people want to pay taxes? Because they don't see any benefit. On both sides nobody does anything for free.

@Jayofmaya if you want to discuss about anything, just express your arguments, otherwise you're just talking nonsense.

@Luffymcduck it's good to know they'd have to rewarded more in your opinion. So why you don't just pay them or offer them some kind of wage instead of telling people what they're supposed to think?

Judging by the downvotes, it looks like some people are just allergic to getting a real job, and would rather enjoy living in dreamland.

@Dr_Corndog dude, you have no idea what a professional athlete has to do, most times for a very little wage. It isn't just about kicking a ball, that's a totally different thing and it's called entertainment, people there get paid for that. Get a clue.

@zemahon you should see how smooth my joycon drift is!

Are they, by any chance, trying to push the sales of the older version by showing a shortage of the 2019 one?

@NoTinderLife
of course anything imported is bad, it makes no sense for them to reimport what they made.
I personally can't find anything that isn't made there anymore.

Btw I might be wrong, but hasn't the 'space wars' genius signed an import agreement with China recently?

I swear some time ago I read on this website a comment according to which people complaining about NSO were a minority.

LOL... 49%?

I've been waiting for this! Not so great as usual but still great.
