@Serpenterror Hitmonlee is still named after him at least in the west. While I agree nothing about Hitmonlee is reminiscent of Bruce Lee besides the name and typing. Just wonder if Hitmonlee would fall into the category. If they had to rename a 25 year old Pokemon people would lose there minds.
That award is kind of bittersweet. It's like the "Finish the game already" award. Should be called the Half-Life 3 Most Anticipated Game of the Year to be extra trolly.
I would like Stone Colds podcast to change formats from 70% wrestling, 25% Ranch/Hunting stories, 5% Broken Skull IPA ads to 80% Video games and 20% Broken Skull IPA ads.
Baseball and Golf are definitely missed. At this time this is a Bowling game for me and that's fine for $40. Cant wait for the update with more sports.
I am severely uncomfortable with games like this being so prevalent. Nintendo should be above this stuff in my opinion. Idk maybe I'm just getting old and cranky.
I want difficulty sliders in Pokemon. The fanbase ranges from 3-100 years old and the difficulty should reflect that. A simple way to do this is to have levels of opposing trainer Pokemon and wild Pokemon be raised in a "hard mode" in addition to more difficult movesets or even abilities to go up against. It would go a long way to progressing the franchise.
@mazz I have to assume that is what happened since it's a Tetris game they assumed it was good which is usually a safe bet. But not Tetris 2, Tetris 2 is just a worse Dr.Mario.
@shoeses They all worked on regular gameboy. But yes you're right. I'm just more put off by Tetris 2 being included. It is awful and does not belong on a list of the top 500 Gameboy games let alone 50. It's an absolute joke. I'm not like mad about it but the Gameboy catalogue is massive and there are literally hundreds of better options.
Reminds me how the WWE despite being named World Wrestling Entertainment has actually banned the usage of the words Wrestler and Wrestling when referring to there product.
I have a local video game store called McVans that has fair trade in value and a much calmer atmosphere where people don't hound you to buy things. Gamestop is the opposite. Support your local video game store if at all possible
I'm shocked that the Sonic movie franchise actually succeeded. Kudos to them for listening to fan feedback and doing something about it before we got stuck with the weird Stretch Armstrong Sonic.
I think Mother gets too much hate for its flaws. Pulling off what they did with a NES cartridge is pretty miraculous. If you think about it in the context of a NES game and how it stacks up compared to other games on NES and not how it compares as a Mother game you can appreciate it more IMO.
Grand Theft Auto is on the switch and nobody was outraged by Nintendo. Mother 3 would certainly not be a big deal. They have very questionable content on the Eshop as far as explicit and actually offensive content goes.
A Kanto Growlithe would at least be something different. And it wouldn't get bodied by Water Gun as an Arcanine.
I find it funny that it's a Gen 1 fire pokemon but they couldn't make it Charizard this time because it's not in the game. It would 100% be Charizard and we all know it.
I really don't like heatseaker at all but that's cool glad some people are happy about that. Pretty much stick to 2v2 or 3v3 Soccar with the occasional Snow Day match.
@sleepinglion He is completely correct. I've done this to use my stuff when playing Xbox. I play on my switch 99% of the time in Rocket League, I do better on Switch than Xbox for whatever reason.
Man I can't imagine anyaone under 30 enjoying most of these N64 games. The world of 1 joystick controls is a bizarre one to go back to. I guess I could be wrong though because I enjoyed NES games just fine after starting with PS1.
It wouldn't really make sense for them to include the Gameboy transfer paks because the batteries in virtually every copy of Pokemon Red/Blue and Mario Tennis/Golf are long dead.

Re: No, You Can't Use Rumble Paks Or Other Accessories With The N64 Wireless Controller
@NotSoCryptic The base game would work just fine. It's kinda better without you're own Pokemon if you want a more difficult run

Re: Yes, The Nintendo 64 Controller For Switch Has Rumble
And yet they kept the bulky rumble pak port. Guess you cant mess with the design of the ugliest/greatest controller ever.
Also I keep seeing promotional pictures of people holding the controller wrong and it's really bothering me more than it should.
