Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Questions Future Of Consoles, But Not Nintendo Hardware

LavenderShroud

Nintendo is unstoppable really. They have exclusives, which is what is needed for consoles to thrive. I have a 360, a PS1, and a Vita. While I love my Vita, I much prefer playing Nintendo honestly. I’ve been playing Pokémon Yellow Version and having a lot of fun. I borrow a Switch often from my brother, and love it. I might get one for myself. My first system was a 3DS, and I have fun playing Pokémon on that. Nintendo is what is fun. Plus with how lousy Xbox doing lately, having the hell no idea what to even do, and PlayStation having its ups and downs, Nintendo keeps going strong.

Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition! I just caught Mew tonight on it, and am having a blast getting to truly experience this game myself. I’ve played some of Blue on my 3DS, and Let’s Go. But to finally play the original on a Game Boy Color is really fun for me.

I might also play some Stellar Blade, but I’m mostly wanting to focus on Yellow currently.

$50 for the set doesn’t seem so bad. I’d definitely love to buy them for my brother for a gift. He absolutely holds these games in such high regard from his childhood…Whenever he plays them he can’t help but tell me every little thing he can remember.

EDIT: Damn, I completely read the article wrong and thought it was a set of two for $50. Each of them for that price is just so not worth it. Maybe I’ll buy him a Shadow Lugia off AliExpress instead…

Re: Soapbox: How Nintendo Unexpectedly Taught Me To Love Gacha Games

I personally enjoy some Gacha games. Obviously I like Azur Lane. But I never really put money into them. A couple times I was generously gifted an iTunes card and used it for that. Other than that, you can still enjoy them free to play. Azur is actually very generous with cubes and stuff to let you build ships. There’s a lot of Gacha games that actually let you just play without needed to constantly pump in money.

Re: Expansion Packs And DLC Are Now "Eligible In All Categories" At The Game Awards

@Diowine I’ve actually enjoyed or sought out games that have poor reviews. Infinite Undiscovery, Sonic ‘06, The Last Remnant. All poorly reviewers, and I’ve enjoyed them. I’m also one of probably two people in the world who liked Balan Wonderworld. Reviews are meaningless to me unless they point out things like very poor and practically unplayable controls or poor voice acting. Aside from that, I’ll play what I want despite what reputations they may have, like Balan.

Re: Xbox Confirms It's Looking Into A Potential Handheld Device

It’ll never happen. And if it somehow does, it’ll flop like their current consoles. Microsoft just needs to STFU. This is the fifth (?) article I’ve seen in two days between here and PushSquare. They have zero idea what they are doing and just run their mouths pretending to have a clue. Newsflash, your console is not selling well and no amount of buying up companies will change that. Especially when you’re talking about wanting to put your games on other consoles. Just admit defeat with some dignity already.

Just to clarify. I’m not “anti-Xbox”, my only console is a 360. I’m just tired of hearing all the crap they are spewing lately.

Re: Xbox Chief On Bringing Games To Other Platforms, Says There Are No "Red Lines"

LavenderShroud

Xbox’s days are truly numbered aren’t they? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not bashing them much, my only actual console is an Xbox 360. Everything else I have is a handheld or the Vita TV. But if they start releasing their games in other consoles, then nobody will have reason to buy Xbox. We buy Nintendo for Zelda, Mario, Pokémon. PlayStation has…Ratchet & Clank, Horizon? Consoles need exclusives to be viable, so without them, they become obsolete.

They had it great in the 360 era. So-so is it the XONE, but everything I hear or see is just that the “Series” console, which is a stupid name and marketing, has been a failure since launch. And like the first comment said it’s basically dead in a few countries.

Re: Nintendo's Lawsuit Against Palworld Is "A Clear Case Of Bullying", Says Analyst

LavenderShroud

Can we just stop with articles about this damn lawsuit until there is ACTUAL news in it? Like once it’s finally in court? Pocket Pal is a terrible company. We all know that, nobody should side with them. And there are TONS of other Pokémon-inspired games on Switch that are even promoted by Nintendo. At least in Indie Showcases I believe? This has ZERO to do with Nintendo throwing around their weight or bullying anyone. They’re just protecting their IP from a scumbag lazy company.
