Goes to show how up their own backsides they really are by calling this ‘groundbreaking’. Also, crowdfunding again? Despite the popularity and success of Shovel Knight they still can’t find other investors or better yet, fund development themselves?! Seems nobody wants to risk their own cash these days but instead hide behind meaningless phrases like ‘we want to build a community’

Growing up with arcades was a great moment in time….when the home computer and arcade gap was immense, we could never have comprehended ‘arcade perfect’ games at home yet here we are in 2022 when that is a reality.
There’s a few arcades left in the UK but very few. I live in Cornwall and even the single arcade in St Ives ( a massive tourist place ) only has a handful of machines now and these are all either sit down racing games or light gun games…..you won’t find Street Fighter 2 there!
I’ve said it many times on here and the whole 8bit / 16bit and arcade era was the greatest time in gaming.

Re: Xbox Boss "Trusts" Nintendo To Not Do Anything That Would Harm The Games Industry

@dil_power probably just me being nostalgic as someone who grew up with the 8bit computers……no arcades, no magazines, no brilliant box art, physical media becoming less important, excitement for new games not spoiled by the internet, the lack of real technical leaps with new consoles, the import scene…I could go on and on but I think about this often and I guess just getting old nullifies that excitement that I once had.

@russell-marlow he basically said how the article was good to start with then halfway through it turned into all this ‘white guy’ nonsense and gaming was never ever about that, which I totally agree with.
This article was originally published when certain writers on Nintendolife were really pushing their own personal agendas and trying to bring other topics into gaming that had literally zero relevance here. Certain writers on here are definitely more guilty of it than others.
I find it hilarious how his comment has been here for 3 months almost and all of a sudden someone has took offence to it and even unfairly banned him……but, alas, this is the way the world is going unfortunately.
