@Crono1973 I guess my question is why avoid it? If you have access to internet and aren't subject to caps what is the reason for not wanting to download the remainder of a game or patch a game. We are talking about two different things I think. I also generally think microtransactions, especially in full paid games, are annoying; especially if they affect gameplay.

What I don't understand is people complaining who aren't affected by it. Sure there will be some anecdotal cases where someone doesn't have steady access to the net or a strict data cap, but those cases are few and far between and I'm willing to bet 90% of the people complaining aren't actually affected. It's just something to complain about and chalk up to negative.

@Crono1973 Retro gaming has value of course, but they certainly weren't the golden days of gaming. Retro gaming had plenty of things wrong with it as well just like today.

I respect your opinion though.

@Crono1973 We already have those. I just don't see a point to complain about silly things that I can't affect. It isn't changing, this is gaming now. I can either accept that and enjoy games or stop gaming altogether. I don't spend money on microtransactions and so I vote with my wallet. If you want only games that are complete on a physical medium vote with your wallet.

@Crono1973 In this case it is the Multiplayer. The online multiplayer. That you need to be online to play. You can see where I'm going here.

People make a big deal out of a non issue. The days of plugging in a cart and having a go used product are over and almost all the people that complain have the online and the space for the download.

@Crono1973 My approval means nothing ultimately. This is just how gaming is now, even if the whole thing is on the cart there are updates and patches and fixes you can't get without online, which almost every single person here has. It is a mountain out of a mole hill situation.

Cue the complaints. Personally I dont see it being a big deal.

Nintendo...listened? (grabs end times sign)

@PorllM Right, it would be limited to what the game already tracks.

@PorllM If I works like the other systems it analyzes your save and then unlocks based upon that so they could theoretically do it. I can't imagine them doing it though.

Achievements would be a cool add, I can't understand people against them as they take nothing away from a gaming system, only add.

This however, isn't true I'd bet. Ive seen the name of these people's game everywhere in the last couple days because of this "accidental slip".

How sweet would it be if the scalpers buy up a ton of these and then they are abundant in store and they have to eat the loss?

@MegaTen Ah I stand corrected! My apologies for assuming your age.

I don't think there is any more corruption now than there was. In fact things are far more transparent. It is and always has been about making money for the industry.

@MegaTen I'm 35, so I've been playing games likely longer then you've been alive.

I just also remember unfinished broken games released buggy and unfinished that were just the finished product and if you bought it that was just how the game was as you couldn't patch it. I remember pins failing in cartridges that deleted your saves, expansions nearly the cost of a full game that don't give you anymore add ons than something like the MK8 DLC for two or three times the cost. I remember games costing $90 for the standard edition or on the NES games being made purposefully obtuse so you needed a strategy guide or to make you call a help line.

Games weren't perfect then and they aren't today.

@MarcelRguez Ah I did miss that, thank you.

@CroRock I understand that, but they are really cheap. I mean, it isn't any different than having to buy a bigger hard drive when the PS4 fills up instantly.

I've bought all my games physical where I can also to conserve space on my SD, so I get, but this isn't as big a deal as people are making it out to be.

@MegaTen What nonsense? If you are longing for the days when everything came on one cartridge and there are no other downloads I'm not sure what to tell you. Buy a SNES and enjoy what you probably thought were the glory days.

This is the new reality of gaming. My point is the people that are complaining likely aren't affected at all. I have a 128GB card that hasn't been used AT ALL other that a few paltry downloads. Just like when my PS4 gets full eventually I'll delete portions of downloads and download them at a later date if so inclined. This doesn't really affect anything.

People are overreacting. This is not that big of a deal. In fact I'd bet that almost everyone here complaining already has a SD card in their Switch.

People just love to be outraged by something.

@FX102A Actually the reality is this content and any tweaks just wouldn't have gone on the game at all and we would have never known.

Everybody longs for the good old days not remembering games would come out broken and just be broken for good. They couldn't evaluate things and fix small issues or correct content at launch or after.

I can't fathom why people complain about day one patches that are free, especially since if you are on these forums you almost 100% have the internet needed to update.

That was pretty great.

I loved Miiverse, though I used it more as a gaming history for my 3DS and Wii U. I'm very pleased they are letting you Dow load that history instead of wiping it out.

How timely. I just picked this up and am having a blast with it. It maybe Metroid only in name, but it is also a fun coop game.

The only thing that irritates me is it isn't included with the collectors edition. If I'm buying the ultimate version of something it should include everything.

I basically was punished yesterday by going to sleep at a decent hour and having a job. Jumping through these hoops for Nintendo is getting real old.

I'm extremely upset by this whole thing.

I think I'm pretty much done with Nintendo.

Awesome. Went to bed and woke up to the fact I'll not be getting a SNES Classic.

People get all hopped up on nostalgia, but it is the Golden Age of Gaming; just maybe for a different reason than what you've listed.

When I was younger and playing replaying masterpieces like Chrono Trigger on the SNES there is no doubt those were good times. However the sheer variety of games makes today's gaming landscape so much more exciting. Back in the day if you wanted a story you were pretty much relegated to JRPGs, especially on consoles. Now even action games are given phenomenal stories and acted by some fantastic voice actors.

Do you dig rhythm games? How about dungeon crawling rhythm games? How about randomly generated seed rolling simulator? Dad dating? Lord of the Rings? Just want to have a walk about a house and dig through people's stuff? Today's gaming landscape has you covered. There is something for literally everyone and loads of it.

Not to mention there are so many quality games released every month I can't even keep up and with flash sales, steam sales, and free Gold and PS Plus games if I wasn't constantly trying to keep up I could game the whole year through for pretty cheap.

Just look at this year so far and the amount of amazing games released. Yep it's a good time to be a gamer.

@DragonbornRito I was going to say, certainly not bashing. I'm just saying while I was playing I saw nothing impacting gameplay like the frame rate drops mentioned. I only played the first chapter with him though.

I played this on my brothers Switch this weekend, and I've beat the entirety of the game on the PS4, and saw absolutely no issues. What point in the game are these supposed to occur?

@retro_player_22 It drove me crazy Ever Oasis didn't seem to get a lot of people talking because the game is amazing.

Context doesn't really matter much here, that was an incredibly insensitive and stupid thing to say. I don't care if you agree or disagree with everything else he says, that part was at best horrible choice of words and at worst downright insulting to the dead.

@Ryu_Niiyama Agreed. Feel like I've gone through the looking glass here.

I don't think they will go up for preorder, the Mini NES never did.

R.I.P Virtual Console.

@Lewieboy124 The first never even went up for preorder, at least in the US.

I want to be excited and I want this badly, but I'm irritated in advance because I know Nintendo will be draconian with stock again meaning scalpers will make this $200 or better.

Can't wait to not be able to buy this.

I don't get all the hate. First of all Nintendo did an entire direct for Indies recently. They frequently have events like Nindie at Night and are certainly supporting Indies as well as either of the other big 2.

Secondly Metroid is their IP, they really don't need another reason. This was something that could pass as a Nintendo game and could directly affect their bottom line when it shouldn't have to compete at all. The individual made it for attention and got it. He could have made his own game, probably would have been published, and we would all support it. He chose not to instead using an existing popular IP to get attention.

Man I want this. Oh well, live in NA.

E3 will continue to get less exciting for a number of reasons. A big one is the fact that it simply isn't as important now. Every developer and publisher can get their info to consumers at just about any time. Imagine every direct since last E3, Twitter update, and YouTube trailer came out at once at E3. Things don't work that way anymore and as dev cycles get longer there will be less chances to show big surprises that aren't so far out as to be irrelevant.

@memoryman3 That's a weird line to draw in the sand, but more power to you I guess?

Can't believe I'm saying this: that Rabbids game looked good.

I got almost all chievos on Xbox and really enjoyed it.

I was going to buy it anyway, but after the Testpunch I'm extremely excited for it. You wouldn't believe how quickly my kids bought in also, my youngest has been running around the house pretending to be Ribbon Girl and drawing pictures after she watched the first two sessions.

These are certainly fake. I don't get all the hate though, look like same art style from the game and not any cheaper than other amiibo.

I feel like the complaints are sort of invalid. This is a third the price of the competitors and while Nintendo is bad at online, that is what you would be paying for. The free games and deals are just the extra wiggle on the worm they are already fishing with.

@Anti-Matter One can dream.

I'm extremely impressed all around honestly. These and are some of the strongest designs we've seen from Nintendo aside from Splatoon.

Amiibo or riot.

Oh man. Deviantart is going to lose it.

If this is true it better be priced like Super Mario Run. It may not have made them tons of money, but it retained some integrity for the franchise. Pay to win garbage is a dime a dozen on the store, I really don't want a Zelda like that.
