Funny, just recently I played a version of Project-M that had Sephiroth in it. It'll be interesting to compare how it plays, fan-made Ridley had a lot of similarities to the Ultimate one.
Just got trough Faces of Evil Remastered yesterday. The games aren't total disasters and actually an interesting part of the gaming history. While not amazing, I'd still give it a 6/10 on a good day. Worth preserving (well, at least in the remastered form, there's an option to play it like the original too).
@WiltonRoots
Still no reason to take it away from eShop. No need to worry printing too many copies when it's digital. Sure, they make a lot of money when they force people to buy their games fast and thus make their shareholders happy. Not too fond of these anti consumer practices. Maybe they'll eventually start releasing mpre of their N64 games like with previous platforms. I just wish Nintendo had better backwards compapility practices like Microsoft has with Xbox now. Maybe I can play some N64 titles at Switch 2's launch or wait for a couple of years again for them to be available on the newest system.
@WiltonRoots
@Dethmunk
Well you could consider the fact that there might be people with work and families who might not have the time to play the game now. Or those people who can't afford a Switch right now. I mean, there's a lot of unemployment due to this global pandemic.
Yeah, that's why.
@eRaz0r
I really would like to play some N64 games that were released on Wii and Wii U on my Switch. Almost 4 years after launch, that's still not an option .
@EvrgrnCmln
I do.
They've used competitive Smash players in their marketing (E3 invitational tournaments), a lot of Smash Bros influencers spread the publicity for new characters etc. As for the events that came to light last summer... the only good think that came out of that is the fact Smash bros community has to make it more safe and better .
As for the toxicity thing... I've always found that interesting. Maybe my country's community is just perfect. And honestly, with over 10 years of experience with this site, NL community is the one I'd call toxic.
Well that's enough for me for now. I think I'll just continue this discussion on the forum.
@Yorumi Sometimes it seems that most of the NL community sides with Nintendo on the topic of "it's their right to do so" instead of even giving a chance to "if they should". And that's the reason I find most comments in NL about competitive Smash so... sad.
Funny how people always comment how hard it was to handle the controls in SM64DS. Maybe I just mastered them quickly back in 2005. I really liked the extra content and wish every rerelease had such features (new stages, characters etc.)
@AlexSora89
I just enjoy the track design and gameplay mechanics in CTR with higher skill ceiling. Me and my cousin are one of the few people who found MK8 track design too easy and the gameplay mechanics boring. CTR NF is in my top 10 games overall but it's the absolute lowest there due the loading times. 30 fps doesn't really bother me in this case. It would hurt my performance in say, F-Zero GX and even though CTR has the blue flame boost mechanic, I've been able to do it fine.
@johnvboy
You seem to have this strange obsession with game having great sales meaning everyone thinks it's a great game that cannot be critised in any way. By that logic, Wii Play is one of the greatest games of all time.
I can agree with you about Sonic Racing Transformed though.
@AlexSora89 CTR easily triumphs over Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too. I never understood the praise towards MK8DX, it has become the definition of an overhyped videogame for me.
@TophatDragoneye Not my thing insulting people over their opinions. Since my reply comes so late I'll return to this topic the next time there are news about Sword & Shield.

Almost every controller that came after it is better.

Gee, thanks Nintendo... for being anti consumer.
Re: Nintendo Direct To Air Tomorrow, Wednesday 17th February
Awesome but can't watch it live because I need to actually sleep before work.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Fans Will Want To Tune Into Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct
Wouldn't really mind 50 minutes of just Smash Bros.

Fixed.
Re: Best Of 2020: 10 Nintendo Games We'd Love To See Finally Come To The West
F-Zero X Expansion Kit for Nintendo 64DD, that game has an EXCELLENT track editor.
Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield Players Can Now Sign Up For A Zarude Code (Europe)
Nice, I missed my country's event because that happened to start at that one time I didn't check Nintendo related news.
Re: Surprise! Among Us Is Getting Sus On Switch Later Today
A really good announcement for Switch though I can only recommend this game to be played while voice chatting trough Discord.
Re: Anniversary: Pokémon Stadium 2 Launched 20 Years Ago Today In Japan
Love that gold & silver cartridge, glad to have it as part of my collection.
Re: Nintendo Indie World Showcase To Air Tomorrow, 15th December
Windjammers 2, Axiom Verge 2 and Sports Story, please.

Aww... been waiting for this one for ages. Well, let's hope it finally comes out in 2021 without more delays.

Re: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Gloria Has Finally Been Given A Voice, And It's (Very) British
@Bizaster
Maybe we'll get voice acting in Gen 9 or 10. Changes come slowly when Pokemon sells millions no matter the quality.
Anyways, sounds good.
Re: Pokémon Teases 'Very Special' 25th Anniversary Celebrations For 2021
Something good please. A 2021 release for New Pokemon Snap, a Pokken Tournament sequel, Gen 4 remakes... anything good.
No more stuff like Pokemon Home, please. I really had no problem playing 5€ a year for Poke Bank. Pokemon Home though... Not supporting that one.

Four Sword Adventures is not a spin-off, it has The Legend of Zelda in the title.

Re: Poll: Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is Out Today, Are You Getting It?
Option: No, I'll co-op the game with my friend and his copy of the game.
Re: Poll: Pokémon Sword And Shield Launched A Year Ago, Has Your Opinion On Them Changed?
Bought a used copy. I miss Gen 5.
Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Not The Zelda Game You Want, But Perhaps The One You Need
"Co-op performance is laughable at times"
Uh-oh, co-op is the only reason I'm gonna play this with my friend and his copy of the game.
Re: Reminder: Pokémon Sword And Shield's Physical DLC Bundles Drop Next Week
If you REALLY want the full Sword or Shield experience, just buy a used copy and DLC for it. Much cheaper.
Or just wait that this bundle gets cheaper... yeah, right.
Re: Two Members Of "Notorious" Video Game Piracy Group Team Xecuter Arrested

Re: Two Members Of "Notorious" Video Game Piracy Group Team Xecuter Arrested
Nice. Now that you've done this... please, Nintendo, rerelease old games like Chibi Robo for Switch.
Re: Bomberman, Travis Touchdown, Creeper And More Join Super Smash Bros. Ultimate As Mii Fighter Costumes
Definetely buying Bomberman and pig from Minecraft.

But does it have Shovel Knight?
Re: Nintendo Reveals Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, A New Zelda Set 100 Years Before Breath Of The Wild

They'll sell it in the next collection which will also have 3D Land and 3D World.
Re: Nintendo Announces Super Mario Remasters And Much More In Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct
Why is the collection a limited release? Nintendo games sell for years at full price, what are they doing?
