I guess I fall in the lines of a Nintendo fanboy, but I'm not going to say on here that achievements and trophies are unneeded or unwelcomed on Nintendo systems because of ignorance and fanboy/fangirl logic .
I personally enjoy achievements, they add more value to the game your playing buy completing challenges that the developers believe that are fun. Achievements have open up many game play possibilities which I didn't know were possible if it wasn't for achievements.
Super Mario Sunshine in my least favorite of the 3D Mario games. Sunshine is still a decent game in its own right, but from playing super Mario 64 then a couple years later to play Sunshine, well it was a huge disappointment to me during that time.
The 3DS is more powerful than the GameCube, go play Resident Evil Revelations on 3DS it looks like an early Xbox 360 title with real time lighting, shadow, and smoke effects. Don't forget the 3DS was even capable of playing Wii games like Donkey Kong County Returns & Zenoblade chronicles.
You do realize that game development takes quite a while right? Also Nintendo switch development kits were released very late and to only a select few developers.
The Nintendo Switch should have 128gb or more storage than the standard 32gb which is nothing for today current games, you would think Nintendo would have learned their lesson when they released that stupid 8gb Wii U model.
There was no excuse for the chibi look in Metroid Prime Federation Forces, since Hunters pulled off the Prime look on the original DS.
But don't get me wrong this game has a good co-op experience, but playing the game solo is a drag.
Federation Forces recieves to much hate that it doesn't deserve.
This game was a technical marvel for its time, have some respect people. The original Star Fox games are still fun to this day even with the jagged polygons.
Everybody can cry and leave comments on a website and sign petitions for a game, but if you truly want something to happen, you have to throw down some cold hard cash!
It's just the way it is. These are all companies working for profit, they're not our best friends.
The Pokémon company will really need to add a ton of content for me to go back into Sun & Moon. I found that the first Pokémon Sun & Moon games to be very boring, so it's going to take a lot for me to consider playing these games again.
Same here bro, this generation has been so terrible, I ended up have to hooked up all of my old system and plugging them through a Framemister to play them on my HD TV. The early years of the Xbox One, PS4 and Wii U was not cutting it for me, so this also got me into retro collecting which I am really enjoying as well.
In my opinion in regards to Nintendo the golden era was the GameCube & Gameboy Advance generation, where we had the opportunity to play amazing 3D games on the GameCube and great 2D games on the GBA. There were no micro transactions, No mandatory installations for games, no day one patches, no idiots fighting about resolutions and fps. Before the PS4 and Xbox One you simply just slap in a game and it plays with no problems, with a few exceptions.
I started gaming on the Nintendo entertainment system and Sega Genesis , and think this has been the worst gaming generation ever (the early years of the Xbox One, PS4 & Wii U era was atrocious) because from what I mentioned earlier, but things now are changing because the PS4 is picking up momentum and the Nintendo Switch is truly something special, but we will see what the future holds.
The reason Sony is nice right now is because they are the top dog with there PS4, but back when the Wii & Xbox 360 were kicking the PS3's behind Sony was talking a lot of smack back then.
But yes Sonic 4 didn't feel right there was something wrong with the controls and gameplay. Plus I didn't like that you only got part of the game and had to wait for the next episodes or something like that.
By the way Sonic Hero is a form of Sonic Adventure 3. Sega dropped the Adventure part out of the title so it wouldn't discourage people from buying the game that didn't play the previous titles .
Another thing I forgot to mention is that lots of consumers personal PC's were still using floppy Disks. Having dial up internet and a high end PC back in 1999, well you were in a small minority.
Sad to hear that Piracy was a stronger factor in your country, SEGA, Capcom, and Midway truly made some awesome games for that system.
Piracy didn't kill the Dreamcast, the PS2 killed the Dreamcast because casuals loved the convenience that the PS2 could play DVD's, that same reason even effected the GameCube. I can't tell you how many time when I was at BestBuy and Target were people completely snobbed there noses at the Dreamcast and GameCube just because it didn't play DVD's.
I didn't learn about the Dreamcast Piracy problem until the Dreamcast was already dead. I also had many friends that owned Dreamcast that never know about that Same issue.
Actually I believe Microsoft could make quite a bit of coin if the Rare Replay was rerelease on the Nintendo Switch, most Nintendo gamers still have a deep love for Rare.
When the Xbox One got X360 backwards compatibility and the Rare Replay, it's what made me acquire an Xbox One.

Buy RayMan Legends if you never got it for Wii U, it's one of the best platformers since Donkey Tropical Freaze and Sonic Manic.

Re: Soapbox: Seriously Nintendo, It's Time For A Switch Joy-Con With A Proper D-Pad
The only game I have a problem with the D-pad buttons is Street Fighter II, but Sonic Mania surprisingly works well with the D-Pad buttons.
I still would buy a left joy con with a proper D-pad if Nintendo released one, so I can play fighting games better on the go.

Re: Sony's Jim Ryan Reiterates Praise for Nintendo's Resurgence With the Switch
I'm curious to know if Nintendo will release a successor to the 3DS, or just stick with the Switch since it's a hybrid system.
