Nintendo will always do the best with what they're working with, but Nintendo will never focus on power first ever again after the GameCube more or less flopped.
When you want to do the things Nintendo thinks of with consoles, power comes in second and if you understand Nintendo the company, you've come to accept that.
As a "nintendo fan of too many years" you should know how having a console that rivaled the others turned out (GameCube) and a big reason why Nintendo now gets W's or L's being innovative with their consoles instead of focusing on being powerful.
Any options to play games is okay with me as long as the tried and true way is prioritized first, which consists of physical, followed by everything else
Now they're champions of 2D pixel art simply because they don't like the look of D/P remakes, but we all know damn well they'd flip a lid if the next mainline Pokemon game reverted back to that style.
Pokemon fans are quite possibly the most obnoxious fanbase in gaming.
You guys are finally getting an open world type Pokemon game, and instead of being optimistic, you folks are critiquing early footage of the game like it's coming out next month.
"Yes, Nintendo do gouge, when they can get away with it. I made no specific reference to SS HD although I do think this product is overpriced. Miitopia. The Famicom Detective games. All MRSP. That’s not refusing to undervalue, that’s artificially inflating value because Nintendo for better or worse know their audience and know that they can charge the maxium possible price and people will still pay it. Like someone said above: Economics 101"
Oh! So basically you agree with me.
Nintendo rarely devalues any of their IP's.
What you think they're worth, however, is a different story.
Just don't throw out the term "price gouging"when you're not using it correctly.
What you don't seem to quite understand, because you dislike 3D World, is that the base game itself, regardless of Bowser's Fury, the online mode and handheld mode, is already a 9/10 by most standards and reflected by it's metacritic score.
Now tack on those modes and improve performance, what you have now is a 9.5-10/10 game.
The score wouldn't suddenly go down because of the perceived flaws by most observers.
I feel that you're not a 3D World fan and that's fine too, but you should state that.
The Dual Blades might be right up your alley in terms of mobility from the weapons I've tried.
I suggest you really set aside some time like I did and try to nail down the controls, navigate the menu to your best ability, tinker with all the weapons to nail down a play style, ect.
I kinda went into the mindset that I was buying the game no matter what, so I forced myself to understand what's going on even though I'm not fully there yet.
It's kinda exhilarating fighting these monsters now that I know what's happening to a certain extent 😅

Re: Introducing Pokémon Legends: Arceus, An Open-World Prequel To Diamond And Pearl
@Zach777
Honestly, Sword and Shield was pretty simplified when it could have been better, but I saw it for what it was....
The template to all future Pokemon games.
So with that template intact, I have no doubt in my mind that the next mainline Pokemon game will be fantastic.
Re: Introducing Pokémon Legends: Arceus, An Open-World Prequel To Diamond And Pearl
The Pokemon Company absolutely delivered on this presentation.
I had zero issue with what they showed and I guarantee that the next game after Sword and Shield will be phenomenal.

You're a shallow individual lol
This game provides a traditional RPG experience that's north of 60 hours with a gamut of class change options.
Find me an indie title that does that for less and looks comparable.

Re: Zelda: Skyward Sword HD Tops "Best Seller" Chart On Amazon, As Pre-Orders Sell Out
@vyseofhr
Selling an updated Zelda game such as Skyward Sword HD at MSRP isn't price gouging.
What you folks fail to understand is that Nintendo rarely undervalues their IP's.
The cost of Skyward Sword HD as a complaint is relative, and it seems that people are willing to pay full price to play a Zelda game.
Nothing new.

Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus
@Ralizah
Online mode isn't the most stable? As compared to what?
The game isn't the best in handheld mode? People said the same about XCDE, but upon playing it myself, I thought it was fine.
Browser's Fury is short? I mean, I didn't expect it to be 30 hrs long, so it's like the Cherry on top a delicious sundae.
Either way, the quality speaks for itself.
YOU just don't like 3D world that much and have an issue with the 10/10 score.
Re: Review: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury - A Superb Mario Adventure With A Bowser Bonus
For the record, a 10/10 doesn't necessarily mean a game is perfect, but the faults are so miniscule that it's meaningless.
I think 3D World with the addition of Bowser's Fury more than qualifies.

Re: Amy Rose's Voice Actor Confirms She's Done With Sonic The Hedgehog
@jaybirdDaThird
The problem is you trying to convince me these are good games when:
-I've played them
-the majority of people that played these games don't like them much either.
If you like them, go ahead.
People like trash all the time.

Re: Capcom Reveals The Most Used Weapon In The Monster Hunter Rise Demo
My favorite was the Gunlance!
@shazbot I was in your boat when Generations came out, but I finally set some time aside for Rise and had a much better experience.
I now understand the popularity, but it's certainly okay that you're not feeling it.
Re: Amy Rose's Voice Actor Confirms She's Done With Sonic The Hedgehog
Honestly, if this means an all around better Sonic product, it's for the good.
Modern Sonic has been trash for too long.

Re: The Artists Behind Streets Of Rage 4 Show Off What Garou: Mark Of The Wolves 2 Could Look Like

To be fair, he's probably not into Garou that much, so he doesn't understand how it looks to most fans and to him, it's "just art".
Re: The Artists Behind Streets Of Rage 4 Show Off What Garou: Mark Of The Wolves 2 Could Look Like
@GraphicJon
Not really offended, just a Garou fan, so I'mma speak my mind.
Definitely not an "insult to art" or whatever you're saying lol!
Re: The Artists Behind Streets Of Rage 4 Show Off What Garou: Mark Of The Wolves 2 Could Look Like

Not sure what you're talking about, buddy.
If you have something to say, then say exactly that.
Re: The Artists Behind Streets Of Rage 4 Show Off What Garou: Mark Of The Wolves 2 Could Look Like
@TheFrenchiestFry
This.
Everyone that played/plays Garou for an extensive period knows what makes that game tick, and one of the things is precisely what you said.
Re: The Artists Behind Streets Of Rage 4 Show Off What Garou: Mark Of The Wolves 2 Could Look Like
Stop disrespecting Garou like that.
I'm not saying the artwork looks bad, but it looks terrible as a representation of Garou.
