A lot of people are mixing up a lot of things from the article. There’s a lot of misconceptions that I read in the comments.

First, it appears that he got rejected from certain game development communities just because of his race.

Second, going in a public way give a good message to young black developers to never give up. That’s not a bad message!!

It’s not about a race issue is how I see it. It’s about.....inclusion. Would you guess how many places I applied as a game developer, and was rejected or given the corporate runaround?? Or had hired someone else instead of me?? It’s happened a lot.

So much so that I’m thinking of making my own team in the future if the opportunity and circumstance allows.

I 💜 this series so much.

@Entrr_username I don’t own a switch. Just a 3DS.

Please Capcom. A 3DS version for the West.😞

Any love for a western 3DS release?? 👍🏼👍🏼

I’m not sure. Usually in fighting games I like to corner the opponent and perform a crazy combo. (Is that cheezing??). I find I can always get about 15% more damage that way.

Let’s see....in NBA Jam, I can always get away with a 3 pointer if it happens I have no opponent guarding me. I guess that’s cheezing. But sometimes when I’m ahead like by 10 points in the game, and then there’s one second left, everyone has given up, I like to dunk the basketball.

Hmm, I heard a lot about Dark Souls. I’m sure it’s justified in that game, with the insane difficulties that it has.

Either way, the game pass idea is quite a phenomenal Idea it took off well. I hope Microsoft does some sort of collaboration with Nintendo in that regard.

@Low_ink I think you’re right. It says maintenance completed on the page.

@russell-marlow that would be pretty cool.

@Kanbolara that’s irrelevant. 2018 is the exception, not the rule.

@Matthew010 but I never said that?? I think they’ll announce like at least 5-6 games.

@RickD say it ain’t so RickD, say it ain’t so. D:

@Low_ink coincidentally I got all I wanted 2 days ago similarly.

@accc no it says the WiiU and 3DS eshops are similarly down.

@Burning_Spear interesting. Strange though. So many malevolent actors. Specially if it was hacked on purpose.

Wow. What happened?? D:

@Kanbolara that was then and this is now. There was no Nintendo Switch back then.

@Magician it’s E3 though. What exactly did you expect??

@Matthew010 you really think they’d go to E3 to announce 2 games??? I’m sorry but that doesn’t add up.

@backup368 that’s true. Gives me something to think about.

@backup368 how is that an excuse??

Definitely Ghost Trick. We need a part deux. Such great memories playing that game.

@TossedLlama you are aware that that comment, unlike yours, was made in humor right?? Anyways good luck on that new site.

Another good article. I’ve played all the ace attorney games, except for the chronicles. I hope they come Westwards one day.

@stache13 I speak multiple languages, however I don’t speak Japanese unfortunately. I’m SOL.

@bozz dragon warrior monsters 2 would also be a dream if it was released for the 3DS. 👌🙂💜😏

@TheRealKyleHyde thanks!! I’m interested in the sword of hope II.

@EriXz keep it for 20 or 25 years, and then sell it (if you want to).

@Paperboy indeed!!! I hope you had fun.

Wow. Congrats my little darling friend.

I don’t do stocks. I have a minimalistic understanding of how any stock works. I wish I knew finance better. The best I can do is understand the supply and demand charts.

Good article. And that’s why I limit myself to 1-2 hours everyday in terms of gaming. No need to push it and I can game more in the long run. I’m almost 40 years old, and it seems I have no gaming related injuries.

But this reminds me of when I used to play street basketball in the 90s. So many slaps on the wrists, people trying to steal or block the basketball, stuff like that, I still have a right thumb injury that doesn’t really bother me....however if I clutch my hand, it will make a clicking sound. It’s the same with every hobby if you do it long enough....prepare to feel some side effects.

The list is upside down and inside out.

It should be: 3DS >= Switch > ds.

3DS just has a crazy amount of quality games. Switch does also, but it’s still in the market and will have more games. DS was okay it was the beginning of the handheld craze. It’s got some good games though.

@Euler ya true. There’s already complete ports on the generation before it.

I’ve played OOT and majoras mask on the 3DS. And I gotta say Majoras Mask is the better game for me. It eclipses OOT in every way. Sort of like how Perfect Dark outdid Goldeneye 007.

I would love to visit the restaurant one day!!

....I’m not gonna read what the New York Times said about video games....I will say however it depends upon how they projected video game playing. As some have mentioned....binge watching Netflix or Cable TV is a good thing, and playing an hour or two video games (which has good effects by some studies) is bad??

I guess I just listed a double standard right there.

But it just sounds like a case of the NYT taking itself too seriously.

And I don’t see the point of most people’s comments here. The 3DS has countless better game, regardless of what games the X-series has.

Tone it down a notch will you?? Ok you hate this article. Point taken.

Congrats!!!! I’m truly happy for the Switch’s success. And this from a person who likes then 3DS more. But today is Switch’s day. Congrats.

Lol what happened some random people randomly ran across this game, realized they were wrong because no censorship, and then demanded to sensor the game?? On what basis?? I’m sure there’s games that surpass anything this game does. Lol. What is this even about??

Honestly a Switch pro TV only console announcements would be a dream come true.

Is grammer and spelling important?
No weigh!
Absilootly, Yes.
I'm a looser with no onion.

That was from a poll on one of the allegro sites I use to program C++.

Oh what’s in a name. why does that remind me of poetry somehow??

@Lony85 I think UMK3 was really good. The best fighting game ever in my view. But MK4/Gold was forgettable. So were the 3D games.

But SF2 is really awesome. If you can master the techniques of the game. I tried but I was not able to.

@ConradoOak yeah I’m sure. Hell I should edit my comment, the way people live these days if they’re healthy, may be up to 125 in the near future. Who knows.

@Piyo 100 percent agreement. I got a gameboy in 1990 and played Tetris and Super Mario Land. There’s a lot that changed for example new games and stuff....but the concept is still very much the same. Hell the gameboy line was only retired in 2004 approximately.

Also I’m not too keen on these new games that offer poor gameplay. Give me anything Nintendo with good gameplay and I would appreciate it any day of the week.

@nessisonett I’m in agreement about what you said. I think the days of over the violent gore...while not completely gone away all together...have given way to adult themes. Think non violent yet phycological themes.

i.e. like horror games. Dementium 1 and Dementium 2 come to mind. These games are so creative in the ways they make you worry.

Umm, I really think that when a game is released, it may have a target audience. But besides that,

When a game is released, shouldn’t it be enjoyed form the ages of like...7 to 99??

I suppose I’m struggling to see why there’s gotta be a demographic calculus here.

@yayakon85 it’s complicated. I would say work activities depend where you are in life. Take for example playing the piano, which I took lessons in from 5-10 years old. Certainly I had certain “songs” I would play over and over again. Practice is the best medicine or something to that effect. Practice makes you better. Right?? So for starters you can play a song over and over and gain confidence. Then it’s about branching out. ( in my view at least).

Oh and @ChainChompBraden

I hope you have no hard feelings, it was just part of the conversation. Certainly I envy you, but that’s just because I want to be better in everything in life. Improve my skills etc. I apologize if anything said hurt you in the comments section. Good luck on your project. 🙂

@Silly_G I certainly understand the OCD in all of this. I’m pretty sure I’ve had some. I know how to program in C++ so I got this “crazy” idea once of making a full fledged fighting game on my own.

The prototype is there. But what I did not realize is that it takes way more than “programming skills” to have it succeed. I worked on it for almost
4 years then promptly burned out.

Point being is life is relatively short. I would think it’s much better to be well rounded in life. But to each his own. If that makes him happy that makes him happy and I suppose he has good skills in MM.

I’m in my very late 30s now and I think life is very complicated, and as I’ve said if we become as well rounded as we can be, we’d be much happier. 🙂
