I have been building a game for 2 years and doing all the pixel art for the game, there's not really any good way to learn you just kind of have to do it until you get good at it.
@Hellburner918 The first thing you have to accept as a developer is that people are going to pirate your games/software but those people were very likely never going to buy it in the first place so from a logic standpoint you don't really care as a developer at the end of the day.
Also I can guarantee you the people who worked on those games aren't getting any money from those games anymore it's only the faceless huge corporation that gets money now.
The way I see it is human beings on average live to be about 75 in most countries, so by that logic 15 years seems to be a fair amount of time to make money off of a game, after that time if you're not providing a way that is easy for people to get any game that released in the past, that's tough ***** for you as a company or a developer (I am a developer FYI).
I definitely don't have to worry about money now that I've made like 20 diamonds. One of the most annoying parts of breath of the wild was actually farming rupees I found so now I don't have that issue.
I think it's still possible that the transfer thing can be done it's not exactly hard to read a save file and take Pokemon from it. They can't take them from the modern games because there's been so many changes to Pokemon from gen 1 to now but they definitely could from an emulated version of the older games.
I just finished selling my last complete in box GBA Game and about six of them were Mega Man Battle Network games, normally I would just emulate these but the fact that it has online components is amazing and it's probably why I'm going to actually buy it.
Anomalies are really cool, hopefully they do something even better. Also I want Tetsucabra back! It is one of my favorite monsters from Generations that they have yet to bring back as well as Lgiacrus from MH:Tri
There is one thing we know for sure, the APU they will have this time around is custom designed by nvidia for the next gen switch specifically, this will inherently make it way harder to hack since they're not using a stock chip and putting security measures in from the ground up.
Ya basically they are saying there will be cross generation titles on nextgen which means they can get away with some white lies as Nintendo usually does.
I want an unbreakable version of every single weapon type, essentially they wouldn't be super powerful and there would still be reasons to use the other weapons because some would be way more powerful but we need a base version for each weapon type.
It is kind of a let down that in the Switch version you cannot remap your controls within the emulator itself, Nintendo really needs to improve that aspect of their emulators to allow per game remapping not just at the OS level.
As with all transitional periods within an industry it will have negatives and positves until copyright laws are properly updated for the digital age.
Something else people need to understand is that because internet speeds are not consistent across the world and games are going to be hitting the Terabyte file size within this decade, there is possibly going to be another swing back towards a form of solid state physical game storage at some point. Now this still may not be the traditional style of physical games we have today, it could be that you purchase a game online and the company mails you a high capacity cartridge that is signed to your console so it cannot be re-sold but you would also have access to it digitally.
I'm not touching my copy again until they fix the frame rate issues, glad stuff is coming out but it does ruin the experience when the game gliches are so rampant and the FPS drops to 15.

Anything 15+ years old is fair game imo.
Re: Poll: Will You Be Updating Your Copy Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I already have like 60k rupees and 100 large zonai charges, I have no need for the glitch anymore.
Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Squeeze Another Zelda Game Out Of TOTK's Open World?
I think Nintendo is going to sit on the first and second game until the next generation and release a upgraded version dual pack.

As a gamer it sucks cuz I have to wait longer but as a Game Dev I give them props for making sure it's the best experience possible.

Re: New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Drops Tomorrow, 13th April 2023
@Rainz I have a feeling that everybody will be pleasantly surprised by how much more there actually is in the game.
Re: New Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom Trailer Drops Tomorrow, 13th April 2023
I keep forgetting it is out in May!
Re: Movie Review: Tetris - The Blocks Don't Quite Line Up In This Mostly Fun Thriller
Just watch The Gaming Historian video on Tetris, it is a much more comprehensive take on the subject.
Re: Random: Hideki Kamiya Thinks Bayonetta Origins Will Help People Make Babies
@Uncle_Franklin If it made you laugh that is all I can hope for lol.
Re: Nintendo Switch Successor Chip Rumours Are Doing The Rounds Again
@Giancarlothomaz It will be about 50%-100% the current capabilities docked, maybe not in handheld though since power consumption is a bottleneck.
The X1 chip is about 10 year old tech now if you include the testing phase, there are SBC's with more capable chipsets now that are much cheaper.

Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Bags Franchise's Fourth Biggest Boxed Launch
@wiiware honestly Nintendo should just do it because this first one's proving how much a proper remaster can actually do.
Re: New Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi Game Announced By Bandai Namco
@JohnnyMind honestly they could just add a little bit more content into a remake of the second game and add modern graphics.
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Bags Franchise's Fourth Biggest Boxed Launch
@wiiware If the old trilogy rumors are to be believed they are remastering the other 2 as well, but only time will tell.
Re: UK Charts: Metroid Prime Remastered Bags Franchise's Fourth Biggest Boxed Launch
Honestly it is easily one of the best remasters made with Windwaker HD on Wii U close behind it.
Re: New Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi Game Announced By Bandai Namco
@KingOhger Yes! Supersonic Warriors 1 and 2 are hidden gems I both love and still own both.
Re: New Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi Game Announced By Bandai Namco
I am really excited for this one, but It better have Super Android 13 and Orange Piccolo.

Re: Nintendo's Investor Q&A Promises Switch Isn't Dead After Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
@Banjo- Exactly, I can't blame them as a corporation, they don't want to step on their own sales. As a consumer it sucks when they do stuff like that.
Re: Nintendo's Investor Q&A Promises Switch Isn't Dead After Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Ya basically they are saying there will be cross generation titles on nextgen which means they can get away with some white lies as Nintendo usually does.
Re: Nintendo: $70 USD Won't Be A Trend, Games Priced On "Case-By-Case Basis"
At least they weren't lying, Metroid Prime Remastered is a lot cheaper. I am ok if they charge more for a game that takes a long time to make.
Re: Video: With 100 Days To Go, What Do You Want To See In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
I want an unbreakable version of every single weapon type, essentially they wouldn't be super powerful and there would still be reasons to use the other weapons because some would be way more powerful but we need a base version for each weapon type.

Re: Nintendo Switch Online Game Vouchers Might Be Returning To North America
@andyg1412 Be glad your buying power is high because games are 79.99 + 15% tax here which comes up to almost 92 a game.

I have been selling my mmbn games complete in box, made a killing. Still have mmbn 6 left and it is worth like $400.
This can replace all the ones I sold haha.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Is No Longer A Nintendo Switch Console Exclusive
@KindofaBigDeal Plus this was made on their Resident Evil engine which scales way better on all hardware.
