@RareFan That's sadly true. It would be nice if they just ported those games to more consoles. JSR and SoA on the Switch would be amazing. I also think those games could find a bigger audience on a better selling platform that the Dreamcast.
@GrailUK I guess it depends how much is paying homage, and how much is just a rip off. Sega haven't done anything with JSR in years so I'm looking forward to this.
@RushDawg I'm not moving any 'goal post'. I said 'I wish Sega would do more with their non-Sonic console games. I would love a new JSR.' Doing more includes the games I mentioned. I never said Sega aren't doing anything, I said I wish they would do more. I also never said anything about not liking the games you mentioned.
I have 2 pairs of joycon that are unusable due to drift. I don't really understand the rules around Nintendo of Europe fixing them. Does anyone have any experience with this?
@Kalmaro Your link comes up with 'page not found'.
You are confusing circumstantial evidence with direct evidence. It is a fact that those things happened, or are you saying that the video of George Floyd being killed is circumstantial evidence?
Yes, there is violence and abused by a lot of different races. It's not right that any if it happens. It doesn't mean white to black racism doesn't exist.
Regardless of the level of it, it shouldn't be happening at all.
@Kalmaro You keep talking about evidence but you haven't actually shared any yourself. What data are you looking at?
I'm also looking at facts: videos of people being killed because of the colour of their skin and other acts against black people. That evidence is all over the place. Have a look at Youtube and social media platforms. That's my evidence.
Again, the evidence shows that peaceful protects have not worked in this case. If they had the police would make large-scale, systematic changes to how they deal with people of colour. People of colour been using peaceful protests for decades and things haven't changes. History is the evidence here.
@Kalmaro It isn't the 'media' making this up. It's normal people filming these situations. To deny those experiences when you can see them happening, and blame the media, is a stretch. There are thousands of examples of racism happening in the USA (and other parts of the world). The media have highlighted them. It's a good thing that more of these situations are shown so that others can understand the reality of peoples lives.
There is also a massive amount of anger and mistrust of the authorities. When this has happened before the person/people responsible have been let off the hook, and there has been no systematic changes to stop it from happening again.
You say the riots are pointless. So how are people supposed to protest this situation? They have tried many types of peaceful demonstrations and been told they are wrong whatever they do, and nothing has been done to address racism issues.
@BispoSnake That doesn't really stand up to history. The stonewall riots were violent and so were many other movements that change the course for minorities. Sometimes people have to push back when they are subject to injustice. You can only go so far talking things out when the oppressive side does not lissen.
Never had a Nintendo controller break before the Switch. I have 3 joycon and a Pro controller with drift. It's really sad that their quailty control is so low now. I remember when a gameboy could be shot in to the sun and still work.
I love the idea of more reasons to visit the museum. This took less than 10 minutes to complete though. I wish it was more integrated with learning about the exhibits.

Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
@shazbot I'm not sure which game that is. I've just had a look online and can't find it. Sounds interesting
Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
@RushDawg I didn't need correcting as I didn't say what you thought I said. Have a good weekend.
Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
@Falien Me and my old flatmate got really in to it. We played all the time

Why are you so upset by my comment?
Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
@RushDawg Like Skies of Arcadia, good Monkey Ball, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, and Beach Spikers.
Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
@Slowdive That too. They made so many great games for the Dreamcast and Gamecube.
Re: Want A Jet Set Radio Sequel? Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Might Be Your Best Shot
I wish Sega would do more with their non-Sonic console games. I would love a new JSR.
Re: The First Review For Paper Mario: The Origami King Is Now In
It would be nice to see the review detail as well as the scores.
Re: The World Ends With You: Final Remix Is On Sale For Half Price Until 19th July
I've been waiting for this to be on a good sale. Full price seemed way too expensive.
Re: Random: Isabelle Reclaims The Official Animal Crossing Twitter Account, But Fans Have Mixed Feelings
They need to give her something additional to do in the game. Seems kinda pointless right now.
Re: Random: These Fan-Made Pokémon LEGO Models Are Incredible
These are great
Re: Paper Mario: The Origami King Features A Seamless Open World And "Huge Maps"
Sounds like a step in the right direction. I hope the combat is up to scratch this time.
Re: Nintendo President Apologises For Joy-Con Drift, Can't Comment Further Due To Ongoing Lawsuit

Re: Random: Miss Nintendo Directs? Check Out This Crowd-Pleasing 'Nontendo Direct' Presentation
@johnvboy That's interesting. I've always found nintendolife to be one of the more positive places, bar a few small instances.
Re: Random: Miss Nintendo Directs? Check Out This Crowd-Pleasing 'Nontendo Direct' Presentation
That was really fun and well done. Can't believe so many people are getting this upset about it.
Also: I believe Nintendo have said they aren't doing Directs at the moment, as reported by nintendolife in the last few weeks.
Re: Square Enix Announces New Anime Project For The World Ends With You
I've been waiting for the game to have a good discount. At this point I don't think it will ever happen.
Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Summer Updates Will Add Swimming, Diving And More
This looks like a lot of fun
Re: Urban Trial Tricky Freestyles Exclusively Onto Switch Today
This just makes me want SSX Tricky.
Re: NIS America Is Bringing Ys IX: Monstrum Nox To The West In 2021
So it's now coming to Switch? I thought they said it wasn't happening.
Re: Nintendo To Cut Back On Mobile Games After Animal Crossing Success, Says Report
They could have done better if the quality and sales models were better. Having said that, I would much rather them focus on Switch games.
Re: Rumour: Animal Crossing: New Horizons Has Reportedly Been Downloaded More Than 10 Million Times
AC has evolved and the number reflect that.
I keep saying I've started to slow down on play time... but still play at least 2 hours a day.
Re: Random: Is This Why We Never Got DLC For Super Mario Party On Switch?
It was a very small game for the price. That entire year felt like Nintendo rushed out half finished games to fill the line-up.
Re: Can You Name These Third-Party Nintendo Games From Just Their Box Art?
9/15. Not bad at all.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo Switch Golf Games
Playing through What the Golf and it's lots of fun.
Re: Pokémon GO Player Spending Hit $23 Million In A Single Week During Coronavirus Lockdown
@Bensei Good point. I always think of the walking/outdoor parts of the game.

Re: Pokémon GO Player Spending Hit $23 Million In A Single Week During Coronavirus Lockdown
I would have assumed spend would have gone down if anything. Well done to Niantic for making the game work from home.

So glad this game is being played by more people

That's great I wish Nintendo would do something with Star Fox.
Re: Switch Joy-Con Drift Claim Must Be Arbitrated, Says Illinois Federal Court
Never had a Nintendo controller break before the Switch. I have 3 joycon and a Pro controller with drift. It's really sad that their quailty control is so low now. I remember when a gameboy could be shot in to the sun and still work.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Suffering From Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fatigue?
I'm still playing a bit every day, but I am starting to give up. I have the following problems:
The main problem is I keep getting repeat recipes. I know the game has a lot more items but for some reason Nintendo made it too hard to get them.
My island it almost full and I can't really build anything else without moving everything around.
I've completed the fossil section of the museum and can't see myself playing for at least a year to get everything else.
The visitors are unbalanced. You always get the rubbish ones every week, while I've hardly seen Redd, Flick, or CJ. It doesn't help with progression.
Re: Still On The Fence About Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair? Now's The Time To Strike
I've played about 10 levels and thought it was 'meh'.
Re: Moonlighter DLC Expansion Launches On Switch At The End Of The Month
The base gane is fun but a bit short. When it launched the gane was really buggy. I know they fixed a lot now though.
I hope this DLC has enough content.
Re: Guide: Celebrate Animal Crossing: New Horizons With This Adorable Merch
We have the Nooklings and Isabelle cushions. They are surprisingly well made.
Re: Random: Hollywood's "Most Killed Man" Is About To Show Off His Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island

Re: Switch LEGO Mario's Costumes With These Power-Up Packs Coming In August
The video isn't working for me.
I'm still not sure about these sets. It would be much better to get standard Mario Lego.
Re: Horizon Chase Turbo Gets A Brazillian Makeover In A New Update
Got this on a whim and so glad I did. It's lots of fun.
Re: It Doesn't Sound Like A Nintendo Direct Will Be Happening Anytime Soon
If it means each game has space to shine then this is good news. It may also help sales too.
Re: Reminder: Animal Crossing: New Horizons' Museum Day Stamp Rally Event Starts Today

Flick has not been to my island in over 2 weeks. I have a lot to sell him.
