A) Fascism is specifically and factually “right-wing”
B) Who the heck is learning their history from Street Fighter II?
C) Look into the words “empathy” and “sympathy” - your comment is “we shouldn’t remove things because people are offended” but ALSO “we should keep things because their removal offends ME”
D) actually, Capcom DOES owe their customers “something” as a result of their business transaction. If the customers want the flag gone and they elect to take it out, it’s LITERALLY <b> not your business </b>
@Darlinfan TBH It’s never bothered me because I think it’s a cool flag design, but I was never subjugated to Imperial Japanese boots on my neck so I don’t think my vote carries more weight than a Korean’s - however I would also hope Koreans have an issue with the American flag in there, too, after the horrific atrocities that the US committed over there.
I’m kinda of mixed excitement- I never played this one before, so I’m looking forward to it, but also I bought it NEW for Wii and never played it because the intro was so boring I couldn’t even focus - and I’m saying that as a lifelong Zelda stan since the NES days
I’m so sold when i got OoT I used my VCR to tape the whole thing, from Ganon’s “heh....heh.....heh” to fighting the ReDead - slowly pacing myself so I could keep the tape as cinematic as possible and rewatch it
@Urbanhispanic Bioshock trilogy played and handled extremely well across all three games - it was super fun to revisit those adventures - definitely recommend
@Ganner I like the way Bioshock and The Outer Worlds were handled - with the game’s developmental skeleton being on the cartridge and the textures and animations being on the patch - it reminds me of when I tried to play Perfect Dark on my 64 Christmas Morning and was informed that without an expansion pack, I could play about 20% of the game.
The downside is everyone that played TOW before the Day 1 patch was like “holy cow this is the fugliest game I’ve ever seen”
@Ganner same! I paid full $60 for Doom ‘16 no regerts but I need that digital to be $25-$30 - luckily Bethesda is (was?) pretty good about doing Switch sales.
I just wish they’d get us Fallout and/or Dishonored
@BionicDodo uh maybe, but there could be all sorts of issues also with triggering the file to hit correctly in the video player every time - unless the game was designed that way from the drop.
MK11 on the Switch does a fairly realistic job of managing an engine based performance slide from cutscenes to the fights - the seams are very visible and the hair goes through some blocky THPS level atrocities, and a fighting game is the most ideal scenario for such a system you’re suggesting.
Maybe in the future, but AFAIK nothing like that is standard for our time
@JR150 I disagree, I think Sing was just a way to get kids interested in pop songs that just so happen to be from artists signed to Universal Music Group, since Universal produced the movie and coincidentally kept all the royalties in house
@alexybubble it’s so frustrating, I would pay $60 no question for the Orange Box or HL1 GOTY pack (came with BS and OF) - no clue why Valve doesn’t wanna pick up another $20 million or so.
I assume they don’t think the games aged well or something, which is dumb - Gabe has always loved Nintendo and Shigeru and loves the Switch.
@Clyde_Radcliffe agreed - I picked up the Castlevania collection recently and was like “wow, I wish Nintendo would have just paid for this to be on NSO this is awesome”
@Angelic_Lapras_King i’m assuming we’ll never get N64 if they don’t wanna pay for Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Banjo, and Tony Hawk.....as well as already have Mario 64 in the All Stars
@LaytonPuzzle27 China, DPRK, and Russia have nothing to do with the actual tenets of communism, Venezuela WAS a left leaning capitalist country (not communist), and Cuba actually has a lot of good parts.
As an American, it’s hard to say my people aren’t suffering as we’re #1 in pandemic deaths, our income inequality is massive, and there are more empty homes than there are homeless people yet we still have humans starving and freezing on the streets.
You need to do some research and stop repeating someone else’s propaganda/sales pitch. Good luck, with love

@Sunsy me too with the caveat that often I’m quick to discover why they’re obscure within 10-15 minutes

Re: Chicken Police Is A Real Thing, And It's Bringing Buddy-Cop Noir Adventure To Switch
@LaytonPuzzle27 China, DPRK, and Russia have nothing to do with the actual tenets of communism, Venezuela WAS a left leaning capitalist country (not communist), and Cuba actually has a lot of good parts.
As an American, it’s hard to say my people aren’t suffering as we’re #1 in pandemic deaths, our income inequality is massive, and there are more empty homes than there are homeless people yet we still have humans starving and freezing on the streets.
