Re: Video: Are 2D Games Worth $60? Jon, Alex And Zion Share Their Own Thoughts

Kilamanjaro

If I revisit why I think the price is high is because Metroid Prime IV will be the same price. Obviously the price is going to be what the company is going to price it at and what people will pay for it. It's $60 but to the point in the video, we can wait for a sale, still think 50 would've been sweet. Hope some tie in exists with MP4 to add some extra value to it

@VoidofLight I'm also a Pokemon fan, completed my Dex for Sword & Shield. I just expect more from the largest entertainment franchise on Earth, especially after spending years of my life & money on the Pokemon franchise. I actually just bought SMT IV and I'm looking forward to SMT V too. It's not so bad comparing games with the same hardware limitations on the same console. Didn't mean to upset you, but c'mon, this game looks GREAT!

Re: What's Next On Switch? Here's An Infographic Of The Games For 2021 And Beyond

Just picked up MH Rise yesterday during the prime sale for $38, looking forward to SMT V, Metroid Dread (because I'm a slave to the franchise), Cruisin, Project Triangle Strategy, Splatoon 3, and keeping my wary eyes on No More Heroes 3, Pokemon Arceus and Monkey Ball. Advanced wars for $60 or emulators of the originals for $30?? Ehh. Glad the franchise is rebooted, more excited for the prospect of a new AW entry than this overpriced testing-of-the-waters version of the game. Great time for Nintendo!!! On a separate note, really looking forward to Psyconauts 2, Halo Infinite, Forza Horizon 5 and Back 4 Blood!!!!

Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo "Absolutely" Has Plans For Animal Crossing: New Horizons Going Forward

Kilamanjaro

Man we all know they're just going to repackage the original Animal Crossing, add DX to the title, make it 480p for HD visuals which reviewers will say is "gorgeous" or "breathtaking", charge full price and not provide DLC just like Super Mario Party, right? Duh! Get with the program. Would be cool if they just keep throwing on content and new buildings of course, an extra 8x8 space of island, more beach. Lots of possibilities

Re: 'Castlevania Advance Collection' Possibly Revealed By Rating In Australia

Kilamanjaro

If this launces for $60 will the reviewer dock points for it or add points for the price? Not sure how pricing affects reviews anymore for non-first party games. Still sour over advance wars reboot camp and the mario party remake launching at $60 ! While 3rd party devs are expected to launch at lower price points. Wah, think I'm becoming a troll after that e3 direct 😭😭

Re: Talking Point: Why Metroid Dread Will Be Worth $60

Kilamanjaro

Look at the Bloodstained series for a better comparison than Hollow Knight, that game also did not come in topping $60 and the amount of support and additional free DLC from Iga who helped create the Castlevania series will most likely not be the same for Dread. Still better to wait for a sale for the standard edition. The special edition better justifies its price point. $49 would've been a sweet spot but Nintendo for sure makes the best profit decisions for it's games out there. Ori is another good comparison for dev time, quality and graphics. Fair arguments here & nothing us gamers will say will result in a lower price so the $60 price tag obviously wins!

Re: Nintendo's Direct "Dominated" E3 2021, Peaking At 3.1 Million Viewers

Kilamanjaro

Love e3, really helps set up what games I plan to get for the Fall / Winter months and teasers for games a few years out. Having so many developers and publishers, it can be hard to follow EVERY game event, so I mostly keep on eye on E3 then the Game Awards in December, with the occasional direct style videos the console makers put out

Re: Yes, The Samus Returns Team Helped Nintendo Develop Metroid Dread

Kilamanjaro

As a long time Metroid fan, have to say Samus Returns was alright. It looks like a very similar graphics engine, wish they pushed the Switch hardware, lots of jagged edges and the graphics look so-so. After having beat Hollow Knight, I think Nintendo has to really up their game because that's the Metroidvania to beat. Will wait for a review and sale for this bad boy, $60 for a Switch game.based on what looks like a 3DS engine just doesn't justify the price for me. $40-50 would've been sweet (like WarioWare)

Re: Feature: Game Builder Garage Could Help Make The Next Generation Of Game Devs

A related coding game I played on Switch was FUZE. I tried FUZE for about 2-3 hours and found it hard to use with the joycons + keyboard combo and having to fiddle with the tutorial in between. It was helpful and I made a map and some animated sprites but ultimately gave up. This looks great. Hope the tools just get easier and easier to use. Did a python course for fun last spring & it's been helpful for product management and working with devs, always recommend taking at least an entry level course or online tutorials for coding, it can be helpful

Re: Talking Point: Do You Miss Instruction Manuals?

Kilamanjaro

Absolute pinnacle of consumerism. They made sense in an age without the internet and digital manuals, sure we love them but ultimately like getting a dummy thicc phonebook for every place you move to. Sure you use it once or twice but then it just sits there 99% of the time only to serve as a fleeting memory of ownership for a product you already know how to use.
