@SNESDisney To be fair, whilst I don't normally agree with the contents of the soapbox articles, they are far from a waste of time. It is always interesting to see other perspectives, and talking in the comments can lead to understanding even if an agreement is never fully reached.
@Astral-Grain Regarding the grey area of ROMs, if the landmark case did happen, and the outcome was in favour of people being able to rip their own ROMs, I would agree with you completely, but until it happens, I would assume illegal even if highly unlikely to get caught as an individual.
Regarding the mini-consoles for Sega, that is fair, they are still being actively sold (although quality will vary).
Regarding NES and SNES mini, they are no longer sold, which means second hand is your only option, which could be stupidly expensive.
Virtual console on Wii U, I agree, but again, no longer actively supporting, no longer produced, not to mention, sooner or later the digital store will probably close.
If Nintendo chose not to release retro content at all, that would be one thing. Heck, I would probably even be happy to an extent since hopefully the resources would be put to new games rather than developing or maintaining an emulator. But since they are releasing retro content, again there is no choice bar subscription (outside the obvious of not subscribing and getting nothing full stop). I am interested but there is no way to obtain legally, and given the choice was there originally...
@Astral-Grain If NSO was the only legal way to play emulated games, that would be one thing, but you have the choice to play emulated games on just about any device that has a screen.
I might be missing something, but could you elaborate? Emulators themselves aren't illegal but ROMs are. What other choices would I have?
@Browny Regarding revenue, I believe the article itself also mentions about how more beneficial it is for companies to have consistent if smaller revenue. But that also irks me, because that is great for the company, but how does that benefit me? Sure, it will benefit someone, hence choice is good, but yeah, I agree with your comment completely.
@KateGray If I only had $30 a month to spend on games, Game Pass is a better value proposition than... half a full-priced AAA game.
And that I understand. I understand that not everyone plays the same, and that in and of itself is okay. I don't expect every person who plays games to have the equivalent of a shrine of merchandise or anything like that.
What I am trying to say, is that there seems to be a push to making subscriptions the only model. Subscriptions don't seem to be another choice anymore, otherwise, why can I not buy the retro games individually on NSO for example, or why must I now pay for online? At least with something like GamePass, as you said, you can still buy those games separately.
I don't know, maybe I an overthinking it, but it certainly seems to be affecting all parts of entertainment, including TVs, film, and music. Like I said, general rant, not just NSO, but NSO I feel is a good example of why I despise subscriptions. I just feel that people not having choice is a problem that is only going to get worse.
@k8sMum That's good in theory, assuming you don't have a s****y landlord, or your local council have it in the budget to do repairs. Otherwise you're scuppered.
"But I do think that Nintendo has finally cottoned on to subscriptions being not only the future of games, but the future of how people want to play games."
Why would you want subscriptions to be the future? Why would you want to pay for something you will never own? I am willing to bet most people wouldn't want to rent a house but own it instead. People only rent because they have to, because their is, for whatever reason, little choice. Same with people who would love to own the incentives of NSO, without paying for a subscription, but again little choice. People don't want to pay for online, but they do because little choice. Why are we so desperate to give away choice? I could agree that subscriptions expand choice, if it wasn't or this obsessive push toward making it unfeasible to be without it. Sure, you can argue Nintendo and other companies are trying to make money, but I am more than happy to give them money if the choice was there. The companies may argue that the programs themselves offer loads of benefits outside online, but in that case, why not make online free again? I don't get it.
This is not just generally against Nintendo, so I realise this comes off as a rant (which it is), but I hate the idea that we should just accept this and not having it full stop as a choice, when choice was offered freely before.
No to paying for online, even if it means missing out in future. I doubt Nintendo is ever going to invest the money into the online infrastructure, and the experience is no better than the Wii U or 3DS online,
It has been 6 months now, and still going fine without it.
Yeah I do; no NSO, because **** paying for online beyond ISP.
Now that I have said that, the price is decent given the number of courses, but I will hold off until all courses are available as I am in no rush to play, and I am kind of hoping for a definitve physical release, though I doubt it will happen.
@Crono1973 "Large PS1 game" doesn't mean much. The problem FF7 has is it is not just the original game, but Crisis Core and Advent Children and other aspects I am probably forgetting which Nomura is trying to cram into the remake. Cross does not have that problem. I doubt a Cross remake would take anywhere near the length of time to develop as FF7 Remake Part 1. Not to mention that progress on the FF7 remake was scrapped and development stalled multiple times from what I recall.
@Crono1973 Of course not; that's a loaded question. But you have games like Trials of Mana that got remakes without the stupid segmenting they are doing for Final Fantasy VII. Would of been nice for Chrono Cross to get the same treatment. Especially since it would of been a good oportunity to gauge interest for a sequel in the series, or maybe even a remake of Chrono Trigger.
That said, I have not played this before due to it never being released on Europe, so I am excited to finally play this.
Definitely one of the strongest directs recently. Quite a few announcements that really spoke to me, such as Mario Strikers and Chrono Cross.
I feel like MK8D DLC is Nintendo's replacement for the Smash DLC packs.
It feels like they are trying to push NSO really, really hard by including DLC in the expansion pass, not to mention, showing off lots of online multiplayer games such as the Wii (Nintendo, but really Wii) Sports game and Splatoon 3's Salmon Run. Admittedly, and regrettably, I feel they are starting to make the pass more worthwhile, but it still has the problem for me of not keeping the content when subscription ends. I might suffer for it, but I am still not coming back to NSO.
Xenoblade Chronicles 3 excites me in theory as it seems to have quite a bit of connection to 1, but I still cannot convince myself to play 2; I just cannot gel with the battle system.
Somewhat surprised they didn't smash Breath of the Wild 2 news in our face. I am not personally excited for it, but given the reputation, I was expecting to hear about it. Also, no Pokemon which surprised me.
I was hoping for a new Fire Emblem and kind of got it with Three Hopes? I like it in theory, more than Age of Calamity as I quite enjoyed the world of Three Houses. That said, I did not enjoy the first Fire Emblem Warriors all that much, so cautiously looking forward to it. I am also kind of concerned that the story situation will be similar to Age of Calamity. Those who have played will know what I mean.
Still no F-Zero or Wario Land... get it together Nintendo.
Overall though, pretty good. Even now, remembering smaller announcements like Force Unleashed coming to Switch. And almost forgot Klonoa, which really came out of left field for me.
Never heard of this game, but funnily enough, I recognised the music, from a romhack of all things. Kind of interested to see where it came from. Not gonna lie though, I saw the enginenand though we were gonna hear more about the Dragon Quest 3 remake.
I do like that image of Link seemingly dragging that Wallmaster. Clearly had enough of being dragged back to the start of the dungeon.
Regarding the company itself, don't really have too much to say. The "online experiences" they want to develop doesn't exactly thrill me, but hopefully someone gets a kick out of it.
Final Fantasy X, because it has been sat on my shelf long enough (having never played a FF), and I am determined to get to the scene with the stupid laugh. "STAY AWAY FROM THE SUMMONER" was a good bit too.
Not interested in Snap myself despite the good price, but I do recommend that people buy Metroid Dread if they are even faintly interested. Very good game.
Meh, I stand by what I said when it was first announced; this is too soon.
My personal circumstances have also changed as I have not been subscribed to NSO for a few months now, so I would not be able to play the main bulk of the game (unless Online becomes free again... which it won't).
Only thing that would save it for me is if the single player content was expanded bigger than ever.
Just had another look, and saw the hourly break down every month. I spent 6 hours on my Switch in May and 10 hours in June. Damn, the drought was real. Skyrim really did carry my Switch this year. For context, it looks like I put 87 hours in on April, but looking through my monthly summaries, I can blame a spate of Minecraft.
720 hours, compared to 635 last year. I am amazed I played that much on either year. My most played game this year was Skyrim with 200 hours coming mostly from July...
Looking at these figures makes me sad. I am hoping my PS4 playtime looks better, though I think a good chunk of that will go to P5 Strikers...
Actually, mentioning that makes me wonder how much time I have spent in total playing games over the past few years.
"Squid-Game like", the Dark Souls of Dark Souls like comparisons.
Also, just gonna say Zero Escape as another good series; sure it is not on Switch, but you can play them on 3DS. Virtue's Last Reward and Zero Time Dilemma normally gone on sale quite frequently too.
Is the free trial for basic subscription or for the full shebang? If for the whole thing, could be worth it to try the N64 emulation. That said, I never redeemed the trial when it was first offered. I still haven't missed NSO since stopping in September.
@Anti-Matter Dude, I am fairly sure I have seen you in every article that has some connection to Pokemon recently and you normally seem to be the first one to bring up the topic of hate. Chill.
Most of Squenix's current output doesn't interest me. TWEWY passed me by; I did buy the switch version, tried it once and noped out very quick. I did not like the controls at all. Bad controls ruin games; it is why I still haven't gotten back to Kid Icarus Uprising.
The only game that I haven't picked up yet which I want to play is Nier, but otherwise, I could not care less for the line-up.
That said, I am awaiting new Dragon Quest games and if the rumours are true regarding Chrono Cross, I will buy that at launch so I can finally play it.
@RupeeClock I thank you for mentioning the Amazon deal for the 512gb microSD. Already have one for my switch, but I do have need for another and that price is pretty good. =)
Regarding the "deals" on the store, these are quite laughable.
@Strumpan I am not sure if I am going to stay off at the moment, but I am certainly going to be more cautious of which videos I look at for the time being.
@Quizler I've never been subbed to him, but his videos are everywhere in my recommended. I've watched a couple before for other games so I guess Youtube thinks I am interested in only his vids or something, heck knows.
Aside from it Takes Two appearing instead of Returnal, the GOTY nominees are exactly what I thought they would be. I am personally hoping Dread wins, but based on that list, I reckon REVIII will win.
Still need to buy, just waiting for pay day. The wait gets worse as it goes on however; all I am getting in my Youtube recommended are SMTV boss fights. Haven't watched any, but seeing the thumbnails is annoying as heck.
