Re: Turn Your Switch Into A GameCube With This Gorgeous Controller Case

Markiemania95

“Before the Wii U Pro Controller and the Switch Pro Controller, the general consensus amongst Nintendo fans was that the GameCube controller was, in fact, the very best“

The Wii U Pro Controller is quite possibly the absolute worst controller Nintendo have ever produced, that abomination was complete garbage. No other major company has put face buttons underneath the right stick for a reason… what a waste of money that was.

@Otoemetry I said that GF own a 3rd of the IP. I apologise that I didn’t spend more than 30 seconds of my day on my comment so that I could include all of the other precise legal details./s Sega could be ‘easily’ stripped of its right to develop Sonic if Sony bought them. CD Projekt Red could be ‘easily’ stripped of its right to develop Witcher if Microsoft bought them. It’s not a point that’s necessary to make because they’re all very unlikely ‘what-ifs’ that could apply to almost any bigger - smaller company dynamic.

Re: Where To Pre-Order Bayonetta 3 On Switch

@Bunkerneath Why would you order anything through GAME anyway, let alone pre-order? Not trying to provoke, just curious. There are always accessible, better options in the UK, and their previous f**k-ups are well publicised. They should have gone under well over a decade ago.

Re: Random: Turns Out You Can Make The GameCube's Game Boy Player A Lot Better

The real worst thing about the Game Boy Player was having to choose between a stick or an awful, tiny D-Pad. The GameCube controller is possibly my favourite of all time (close competition with Switch Pro), but I really hate its D-Pad. People complain about the Switch Pro’s, but I honestly think it’s so much better. Just a shame that the N64’s D-Pad was probably the best - the system where it’s used the least 😂

“Nintendo has been pushing Super Nintendo World really hard recently, despite the fact that one of them is in Japan and no one is allowed to fly to Japan yet for COVID reasons”

There’s 125,000,000 people in Japan already, the gates have been open to those with visas for a while now, and visa-free travel to the country is returning in less than a week. I don’t think it’s surprising that Super Nintendo World is being advertised as heavily as it is; the park was packed when I went one Tuesday last month (Tuesday supposedly being their least busy day of the week).

@Hajilee Honestly, I think ‘shipping’ real-life people together is some of the weirdest **** someone can do. I would find it deeply disturbing if countless people were so obsessed with my romantic/sexual interests that they actually hope/insist that I should be with another person that I don’t like in that way, even more so if they’re now at the point of drawing art of it.

Re: Talking Point: What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?

@sketchturner Honestly, next people are going to be commenting “I know it’s controversial… but my guilty pleasures are Pokémon Crystal & Ocarina of Time!” 😂

As for me, I’m genuinely not sure I’d say I LOVE any game that is objectively or generally viewed as bad… but I think the closest thing to that is that I seem to be the only person that truly prefers Sonic 06 to Colours (I at least got through the former, I quit the latter at the water world after it almost bored me to tears). I’ve also played through Pokémon Channel 2-3 times, a game that I don’t think many would waste their time on.

Re: Feature: Rayman Is Back In 'Mario + Rabbids Sparks Of Hope' - So Is He Actually Cool Now?

Markiemania95

@AlanaHagues As @gaga64 said, you may want to edit that poll - Rayman wasn’t even so much as an Assist Trophy in Smash.

I only ever played Rayman on Game Boy Color, and never got that far into it - but despite that, aside from Mario, Sonic, & Crash, who all had hardware developers backing them up, I always thought he was the biggest mascot going. Where are the rest of the third-party platforming mascots now? His longevity is a testament to his popularity.

Re: Poll: What Switch Online N64 Game Are You Most Excited About?

Markiemania95

@ketrac Doesn’t the service as a whole have online multiplayer for all games that had multiplayer in the original release? Across NES/SNES/N64/Mega Drive? To my knowledge it would be a first if these games didn’t.

In answer to the article though, I don’t know… because I’ve actually never played any of them, except Goldeneye, and I’m not really a fan of FPS. I’d probably vote for one of the Mario Party games, but even then, I don’t know what distinguishes those three from each other - I’ve only played MP5 & Super Mario Party in the past.

Re: Random: Animal Crossing Fan Is Visiting Every In-Game Artwork In Real Life

Markiemania95

Oh wow, that’s some dedication, especially considering just how many of them there are. I’ve also been trying to visit every Pokémon Center in Japan, in addition to traveling to every area that has a Pokémon region based on it haha. So far I’ve managed Kanto, Kansai, Kyushu, France, UK & Spain; Hokkaido will hopefully be happening very soon. New York and Hawaii are high on my list of places to visit anyway, and Nevada (Orre) will likely come at some point after those two.
