Was suicidal in 9th grade and persona 3 portable is probably the only reason I'm still here. I think that might sound dramatic but it's just how it was for me then. Part of it is the acceptance of death and how characters overcome it despite the suicide motifs in the game, it was very clearly meant to inspire people to overcome death. Specifically akihikos arc was very personal to me
I love the amount of indies lately it's absolutely making everything better. I feel like company's have started playing a lot of games safe (including Nintendo) I mean most of the new ips are not as weird and odd I mean there are a few but it feels like they were everywhere on the GameCube PS2 era and before that. I feel like the indies are picking up the slack and filling in that need for games that aren't guaranteed best sellers but are something completely out there.
There will always be another ROM site. I never loved this site anyway. Nintendo should offer a way to play these games on switch because I'd bet a lot of the people pirating would be fine forking over the nso membership but there is like next to no games on it considering how vast the NES and snes library is and that's not even considering other consoles. I used vc and then it wasn't a thing anymore I pirated stuff because it wasn't available. It's just dumb. If what they were taking down was able to be purchased easily today than I wouldn't care as much.
Random but does anyone else notice that game knockout City literally has lines copied word for word from jet set radio from the radio guy I wasn't a huge fan of that game but that made me laugh is that even legal
The first Nintendo game I've ever played was Lego star wars the complete saga on Nintendo DS looking back it's kinda funny that's the first video game I literally ever played. After that I got new super Mario Bros for it and have loved Mario ever since. Kinda funny because I also got into Pokemon and Kirby but didn't get into Zelda until link between worlds on 3ds which is now one of my favorite games ever. But starting on the ds makes it my favorite console I love the thing to death
Am2r is better than Samus returns (not to diss Samus returns it's great but am2r is just that great) and I can't wait to play with my favorite robot again.
@Hydra_Spectre @jameswarrensaid but the animes all suck except the persona 3 one that one caught me of guard I thought it was alright all 4 movies are free on YouTube so check it out and form your own opinion. I recommend emulating persona 3 portable if you don't have a PS4 or steam as a first persona experience because it works on anything from phones to cheap computers. Yes it's pirating but to be honest who actually cares do it if you want and don't do it if it bugs you. But seriously the movies were okay check them out on YouTube if you want I had a good time watching them despite hating the other ones
This is awesome as I'm playing a three hearts mastermode run and having to change them to hearts and back to get the master sword with the statue person would be a pain
@PBandSmelly literally my thoughts exactly. So what I pirated super Metroid to play on a little device I own it in like four places already! I want to play mother 3 in English and try some N64 games that haven't been re released. I mean I'd rather play it officially but if there's no option I mean it's not harming anyone except Nintendo but I mean as much as I love there games I think they'll be okay with me playing mother 3. I get it it's a legal gray area but I mean I don't exactly care about the income of a company with so much money when me playing their old titles they didn't port leads me to play new ones releasing. One of my friends pirates switch games and although I've never judged them for it I do think it's kind of wrong when the product is readily available anyway
@nukatha suddenly I can't wait to play beginnings! I was always under the impression it's just okay but from what your saying I have a lot to look forward too! I kinda skimmed what you said (I don't want it spoiled for me lol) but I'm excited to play!
@Travisemo007 I'm not making fun of or disagreeing with you but I'm a bit confused what you mean. Are you saying I'm skipping the meat by using auto battle? Because I nearly never use it unless I am really overleveled and just want a bit more macca in smt or I need a certain demon and I might as well end the battle quickly and still get xp but yeah you can't auto battle through a game like smt strange journey its WAY too hard for that lol give the game a try it's phenomenal
@nukatha I'm curious why you think it's better than mother 3 and earthbound I'm not saying your wrong I haven't even finished a single one since im playing all three now but I've never heard anyone say beginnings was better so I'm curious as to why you think it's better
@bryce951 if I had to guess your right no one cares about it because there is no nostalgia/hardly anyone got chance to play them and the snes did everything better but that doesn't mean the games suck or something. The Mario games are just as good on the NES as the snes ports (a couple were botched physics wise in all stars making the NES version better even). Metroid is still great today although Id go with zero mission. Dragon quest 1 through 3 for nes is a fun jrpg which started all others and is an enjoyable short adventure that holds up very well. I'd argue early final fantasy games aged poorly to be honest though but some really like them but idk. A lot of hard side scrollers like ninja garden are on the console and they are all really fun! If you get rid of nostalgia you can look at the NES as the N64 pioneering 3d: great games, but it hasn't hit it's stride yet. That still doesn't mean that there aren't Mario 64s, banjo kazooies, etc. I'm sure there are a ton of games you'd appreciate on the console even if there isn't any nostalgia. It's my least favorite Nintendo console personally (besides Virtual boy of course) but it's still got tons of fun games if you look that are fun regardless of nostalgia
@Snaplocket there is no shame in auto battling it's just a way to make the game a little less annoying to grind through in my experience. You are right they are great in smt games I'm playing strange journey and grinding with physical attacks automatically is a lifesaver not because it's necessary but because sometimes I just don't want to strategize my turns when all I want is money or xp
Honestly it's becoming nearly necessary to make an alt Japan account if you want to try demos nso games etc. Kinda dumb if you ask me like why isn't this in the west already the game is pretty much finished localization and all
Lazy port, but okay it's still a good game worth your money. If you have it on Wii though? I mean you could waste your money I guess but why? For hd? Idk. I gave my Wii to a friend who couldn't afford a game console so I'm happy to pick this up for myself again
Honestly indies are able to go toe to toe with triple a games nowadays. Hollow knight is in my opinion the best 2d Metroidvania (including super Metroid itself) Spelunky is just brilliant and undertale is a wonderful experience Stardew valley exceeds harvest moon in every way besides simplicity if you want that but it's really just better. I prefer it to animal crossing any day and I've been playing that way since I was little so even with nostalgia I prefer stardew. Cuphead is too unique to compare to anything tbh but just play it you'll regret not playing it forever lol I've played many more but those are just some of my favorites!
Isn't every legendary Pokemon non binary in the pokedex? And even then does anyone so much as look at the gender of their pokemon when they catch them? I know I couldn't care less.
I love the bag but it's not worth the 60 for me. 80 is as high as I'll go for premium editions and only from games I am REALLY excited for. I am really excited but it is not 80 dollars lol. Still glad they put effort into it. I hope the demon thing is an art book and not an actual guide.
@Kaori-chan Walmart had weirdly good game prices I got the battle for bikini bottom rehydrated SpongeBob game for like 20 bucks at launch and monster hunter generations ultimate for 30 at launch by at launch I mean around launch but we'll within the everywhere it's still 60 or 40 bucks range
@bryce951 I'm kinda confused here is the NES overhyped or something? I mean it's not fantastic imo but it's the first real gaming experience outside of the arcade as we know today. Is this about the uk not getting games? I'm not discrediting you but I'm curious exactly what you mean lol
Nes games are alright but snes games are where Nintendo hit it's stride. I grew up with the snes instead of nes titles but there is a certain charm in playing a nes game that really isn't anywhere else
