Re: Switch Online N64 Wireless Controller Back In Stock In Europe

@Askalt Considering how Sony has managed to make their PS5 consoles readily available for anyone who wants one, this is just an embarrassment for Nintendo by this point, it's making them look incapable and incompetent.

Well if they will never be able to get it together to make a freakin controller available, I will just forget about ever getting their NSO expansion plan ever again. What a waste. Get your **** together Nintendo! Nobody else in the industry has this problem right now.

Re: Talking Point: What Makes A Really Good Demo?

I'd say just good gameplay presentation with a minimal approach to story and exposition. It's like I don't want to be trying to soak in a game's story until I have some concept of if I am going to enjoy playing the game or not, if I am going to put time into a story I want to be playing the full experience. I mean if it's story intensive give me a good taste of what it's like, but don't go overboard.

Re: Soapbox: 1080° Snowboarding Is The Coolest Nintendo Ever Got

Finally, someone acknowledging how 1080 Snowboarding was a thing. If there is anything I miss, it's Nintendo making games like that. I honestly still think it's probably the best snowboarding game ever made, something about the way it feels to control your snowboarder, the challenge of simply making it down the mountain in time, there is nothing else quite like it.

If there is anything I would like to see Nintendo make, it would be another 1080. I would definitely prefer it if they made it more like the N64 original compared to the Gamecube sequel, which lacked the feel that I loved about the original.

Re: Call Of Duty Will Run As You "Would Expect" On Nintendo Platforms, Says Microsoft

@WiltonRoots I'm guessing they're going to make some changes to the way they'll approach the development of upcoming COD games to ensure it'll work.

I am also wondering if Microsoft knows something that the rest of us don't, like some sort of non-disclosure agreement they got with Nintendo on a Switch successor or something. Undoubtedly they are going to be working far more closely with Nintendo from here on out.

Re: Amusing Anime Crossover 'Fitness Boxing Fist Of The North Star' Gets Release Date

@MontyCircus Yup, it seems like the cheap thrills Dave N Busters format is basically what most modern arcades have become. I am not even interested in that, just seems like a waste of money.

Back when I was growing up, by the time I was going to arcades in the late 90's and early 00's arcades were just incredible, truly the peak of arcade gaming even though that was just before their steep and sharp decline. The place I went to the most had go karts, I would always go there to race them with my dad then I would hang out in the arcade for a few hours later spending $10 worth of tokens or something. It was incredible, one of those massive arcades with all the GOAT machines from the era. Definitely one of the cool things about growing up back then.

@Rykdrew Yeah I feel ya, Nintendo games have gotten pretty stale for me this gen outside of the occasional Mario game. It seems like all they focus on these days is just Metroid, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Zelda, and overpriced remasters. Gone are the days when we would get fun and interesting IP's like 1080, WaveRace, and F-Zero.

Can't even get excited about the latest remasters like Metroid Prime and Kirby Return to Dreamland, they just feel unnecessary and unnecessarily expensive.
