Re: Former Metroid Prime Engineer Admits He Was "Disappointed" With The Wii's Specs

I get it. Perhaps more so than any other generation, the Wii was so behind the PS3 and 360 in terms of hardware power... getting to play in an HD spectrum was very interesting to young, budding developers, and Nintendo was still in the Standard Definition playground.

I don't think it turned out too badly for Nintendo, though, considering all the Wiis they sold. For as young as HD was at the time, it was probably the right call for them in the end.

But, again, I get it.

Re: Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Calls For Industry-Wide Support Of Video Game Preservation

MasterGraveheart

There needs to be a true form of historical game preservation for all games. Make something like an International Video Game Archive that also releases games available for download to customers so we can research and experience games of yore and never /ever/ lose them.

Game industry, it's time to stop being greedy with your back catalog and submit your libraries for this form of preservation. Focus your efforts forward. Let the historians who want to be historians for this medium preserve your efforts.

Re: Random: Forget Dread, It's All About Metroid: Other M On Twitter Right Now

I personally enjoyed the gameplay, but it did feel like a strong departure from the Metroid feel. And seeing Samus so tiny compared to other human characters was kinda jarring. I appreciate the attempt to do something more character-wise was there, and I don't hate on the Ridley stuff as much as others, but it's on the lower side of middle of the road for me, I think. But definitely not a waste and I would play it again.

Re: Hideki Kamiya Reminds Fans Bayonetta 3 Is A Nintendo Switch Exclusive

MasterGraveheart

Y'know, it's not the fans who get me when they ask for certain games to come to their consoles of choice (I've done it several times, particularly with the Disney Afternoon Collection and the 8-Bit Adventure Anthology), but it's when other sites start putting up supposed think-pieces of "why Nintendo Exclusive X deserves to be on PlayStaion/Xbox."

I'll get the popcorn ready.
