Re: Scalpers Are Already Reselling Analogue Pocket Systems For Insane Prices Online

Scalping is certainly not native American specific and it’s a descriptive term to describe and name a specific action - one that is not exactly a beautiful cultural moment by the way. What other horrible act do you want to be protective of, if that was the reasoning behind calling the term outdated? I don’t have feelings about the term being especially accurate for off market trading, but I do care about over sensitivity.

Re: Goodboy Galaxy Smashes Kickstarter Goal, Physical Game Boy Advance And Switch Editions Confirmed

They made a mistake with somehow splitting people up in super early backers and the rest for rewards besides price, the decision being communicated even only after the fact. I didn’t develop an understanding for it and many people brought it up, being excluded from a Kickstarter exclusive (packing and additional item in this case) because you weren’t there on day 1 makes absolutely no sense and does not incentivise to back (with risk attached) instead of buying once the product is finished.

@LavaTwilight that’s really old skool, Kudos to that. The NGC version is praised for the abundance of dialogue (monologue, let‘s be real) and of course it is otherwise quite outdated, yet it has a lot of charm, as does New Leaf, even if already a litte bit less. New Leaf though had so many improvements, a café, a dog’s police station, a whole island of mini games you could even play with friends or online with the community, still loveable characters, and lots and lots of furniture and upgrades (of stores in particular). Then in the end even the amiibo update and camp site. Also, the music. I mean just look at items for pocket camp, and what you have in NH. AC is for many a game about interior design and in game clothing. Idk, all of these points have been brought forward over and over and unfortunately, NH “only” brought terraforming and crafting to the table, that’s it, while it lacks all other steps forward, plus it has been dumbed down in the music and villager department to a degree that’s not even funny, while failing to provide any ongoing development of the “outside” world (aka the town) or a comprehensive catalogue of items! For me, it’s a miss on the dna of the franchise.

@LavaTwilight hi. I think not we, the customer, forgot that, but Nintendo did. They should have released a full game from the start. NH is lacking content af. While we are in the digital age and it’s viable to add extra content later, and New Leaf greatly profited from it, it’s not an excuse to publish as shell - and still nothing of significance was added to New Horizons, only things you could’ve expected to be in there from the start (while still too little).
