Re: Capcom Home Arcade Is A Plug-And-Play Arcade Stick Packed With Classic Games

Is it just me or should they have added Tatsunoko vs Capcom to this? Lets ignore licencing agreements for a sec. For me, this is the best in the "vs Capcom" series. MvC2 would also have been nice. Looks like they missed a great opportunity here....
As much as it's tempting to buy just for the AvP game - this price is frightening. I cannot justify for AvP and maybe Darkstalkers & Gigawing.

Re: Review: 3D Ecco The Dolphin (3DS eShop)

Just been playing this now I've finally downloaded it. Never played this before & I really wished they used Ecco: The Tides of Time. That was an awesome game & got played alot. So hard though. I look forward to many frustrating hours with this one. M2 have excelled themselves with this good looking title.

Re: PlatinumGames Still Wants To Get The Wonderful 101 On Switch

While I'm against the continuous porting of Wii U titles to Switch - this is one I would fully support IF it's implemented right. This is such an underrated title that like Bayonetta, only gains followers over time.

To clarify - I'm only against Wii U porting as it seems to have replaced original titles being produced by Nintendo and delays my inevitable purchase of a console. None of the "Deluxe" titles are worthy of a double dip & console purchase as yet. Pikmin 4 however......

Re: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Launch Sales Were Actually 56% Higher Than On Wii U, Not 24.8%

MaseSco

While I got a Wii U at launch - this game wasn't what I chose. I went with the ZombiU bundle since it was the best value. I did pick up NSMBU last year and it's miles better than the Wii & 3DS "New" titles and should be picked up by people who own a Switch but never a Wii U.

For me, it's another reason I can't buy a Switch yet. I refuse to buy games again I've already played - I'll wait for the revised Switch and a new Zelda title

Re: Talking Point: Do We Still Need Review Scores?

MaseSco

I wouldn't mind the scores being dropped as long as there's a clear indication of a rating such as "Miss, Average, Good, Great, Zelda Worthy(because all Zeldas are Masterpieces allegedly) ".
I do think people have different views on the 1-10 scoring, myself included.

Re: Is 'Switch Tax' A Real Concern, Or Just A Myth?

MaseSco

Why are people upset over this? It truly baffles me. If you don't like the prices, then surely just shop around as not everywhere sells at the same price.

I would expect Switch games to be priced slightly higher due to manufacturing costs etc...but I haven't bought a game on release release day for years - except BotW on Wii U for fear of a low print run.

To me, games are always more expensive on the new console. It happened to Wii U as well. Games on launch day (AC3 & Black Ops 2) were already available and were priced less on other consoles but no one seemed to complain about it. Even games later released on Wii U suffered the same fate as the current Switch games. I don't think I actually have a point, just rambling on..... sorry

Re: Rumour: Free-To-Play Switch Games Won't Be Impacted By Paid Online Service

MaseSco

@Heavyarms55 Wii/DS servers died when GameSpy were closed as Nintendo was hosting them there.

In general, I don't see myself buying any more memberships for gaming as there's no benefit for me, especially since I generally play exclusively single player content. I have no interest in a paid service. If I want to play online, I use my Steam account.
I think server costs are part of buying hardware (PS4, Switch etc..) & also part of the sale of digital content.

Re: Poll: Is Your Nintendo Switch Cracking Under The Pressure?

MaseSco

This has put me off buying a Switch for now. I'd use it docked permanently - but if it can't stand the heat it is a no go until the next iteration comes along.

Reminds of the 3DS XL hinge that always cracked on its own and the poor consumer had to pay to fix it, even though Nintendo knew about it.
