Re: Development On Final Fantasy 9 Remake Reportedly "No Longer Moving Forward"

Kriandis

All that I truly want to see, and all I have ever wanted to see, since PS3 technology made it possible, is a FF in Yoshitaka Amano water color designs.

EVERYTHING in his art style. It would have been great to see 9 redone that way.
I have no damn idea why Square has not done this already!!!!! Bring those beautiful water color designs alive already!!!!!!

One of the coolest things a teacher ever did for my son was his first grade teacher Miss Waters.
Through the last 4 months of the school year he would always sign his paperwork/homework with Link, and she would acknowledge it with
"Thank You, Link"
"You did really great work, Link"
She just played along, and I always appreciated her for that.

Re: Opinion: 30 Years On, I've Finally Come Around On The N64 Pad

So weird to me that you see it that way.
I am 52 y/o and have played games all my life, always a huge Nintendo fan, and have always built my own PC's
I loved the N64 controller for two main reasons

1. It was the first time a self centering analogue stick had ever been used, and it truly brought 3-D games into the future

2. Again, having been a long time PC player, the way the Turok games controlled were amazing! The analogue stick acted as the mouse, and the C-Buttons acted as the W,A,S,D, on the keyboard. I loved the controller, and still love it to this day!

Agree 100%
I was just talking to a friend about Nintendo 2 weeks ago and told him that Nintendo has this M.O. of when they are doing well, they don't mind curb stomping their fans, but when they are doing bad, they give games away.

I remember when Mario Kart 8 was released for the Wii U, they had 3 games you could pick from for free. I picked Pikmin 3. Then Mario Kart 8 comes out for Switch 1 and sells like gangbusters!

I honestly feel they are trying to replicate that with Switch 1 games on Switch 2, and it is not going to happen!

I also told by friend that the Switch 1 dropped at the right time. It was a portable Nintendo System, and a Nintendo Home Console, that had the same amount of technical power.

The Switch was the hybrid that fans wanted and needed, and then the pandemic hit, which made it even more popular.

Nintendo did what they needed to do, and did it well, because they were coming off of a failed console. They delivered to the fans for that reason.

Now Nintendo's Hubris is back, and they are falling into the idea that fans do not matter......It's not like they listen to them anyway!

There is no way that Switch 2 sales will ever reach Switch 1 sales. Don't get me wrong, It is going to sell great. But nowhere near the numbers of the Switch 1.

Re: Preview: Five Takeaways From My Time With Virtual Boy On Nintendo Switch Online

I still have my original VB.
That being said, I would buy this in a heartbeat if it came with all Nintendo VB games on 1 cartridge.

I have commented multiple times that people are F'ing fed up with subscription based models, and would prefer physical cartridges!

I am done with subs and their ability to end, and not owe you a damn thing, and you are left with a $100 piece of plastic that is now acting like a paperweight.

NOPE! NOT BUYING!

EXACTLY! This is why I cannot get behind a sub service.
I am Gen-X, born in 74 and I honestly feel that the majority of my generation still loves being able to hold what they purchase.

It is so hard for me to buy an only digital game, your reason being one of the many.
Nintendo can just say, we are shutting it down, and then people are left without nothing to play on the headset they purchased. The terms and agreements are very clear about what Nintendo can take down, or put up, on Nintendo Online Service.

I just got my Analogue 3D so I can play my N64 games in high res.....Not paying for a sub!

Re: Japan's National Library Says Game-Key Cards Are Not Eligible For Preservation

Kriandis

I have always said that if gaming goes all digital, or with this game card BS, that is going on now, I will just stop being a console gamer.
I have enough back catalogues of games that I will be kept busy for the rest of my life.
I am also a huge movie buff, and still continue to collect, and buy physical.
If these companies want my hard earned money, I better have a product I can hold.....Other wise, FU!
