Oh too bad this as one game was GOTY but 1 and 2 aren't individually good enough to do it.

Seriously how stupid. Ot quote Adam Sandler in a specific SNL skit. "Who were the ad wizards who came up with this one?!?!"

How absolutely stupid.

Amiibos have always been overpriced. I wish no one ever bought a single one, maybe we would have slightly better Nintendo games.

@FuzzieGinge88 I love when someone misses the point because they didn't experience it.

The playground was full of people arguing about Nintendo and Sega. The magazines were all about it. The commercials on TV, this all follows what I experienced and the general history. You didn't know anything about it. That's great, but that's not proving me incorrect. That means you're either ignoring the history or you're in the minority.

The vast majority of people bought a system based on peer pressure or marketing. I doubt very many people just got a system without asking for it from their parents.

Even if you did or the majority of people did it doesn't change my point. The love for Sonic is purely nostalgia. The game is overrated. I liked the Genesis when I was young, but I didn't like playing Sonic the most out of the games on it.

Sonic was a marketing ploy. If you got a Genesis without knowing that, congratulations you had a fun machine when you were young. That's fantastic.

Sonic isn't a good game, you can see that in how the gameplay is not mimicked in modern games.

On this Anniversary, you see a history of games that are rough and trying to invoke the original games, but without the nostalgia they're pretty much ignored. That is my point. It's clear Sonic is goth, in that it was a phase some people went through and some people are trying to keep alive, but most people are long past.

I am happy Sonic existed because we needed to not have a Nintendo monopoly. That's what sonic is, the trick that made little kids think they were cool for being a consumer.

Sonic is incredibly overrated.

Absurdly overrated.

But to people of a certain age it will forever signal counter culture to them. It's like the Hot Topic punk symbol of video games. Something people will think is much cooler than it is.

I am happy for anyone who gets enjoyment from Sonic. To me it's the most try hard thing ever.

Translation: A lot of governments have recently been taken over by authoratrians who like to talk shot about our industry. We want to assure everyone that we will do anything necessary to avoid regulation. We will clearly betray our customers if the Government demands it so we can keep making money.

We have no values but we can pretend to have the same values as the people threatening our industry.

What safety? I am sitting in a chair barely moving. I don't think I can be any safer.

I will be buying this if it's a physical game...

Sea of Stars, then Bananza, then Cyberpunk, then Balatro most.

Stocks are completely broken. This used to be this concept where people bought into a company and then the company shared revenue and everyone profited. Now it's just straight gambling on how many times you can flip a coin and get heads.

Line goes up people invest more and eventually the limits of growth are found and everyone loses because too many People thought tails wouldn't show up yet.

Then everyone who made one bet ok many start firing everyone and then the economy tanks which causes all the lines to go down and a vicious cycle happens until the rich get a bail out and reopen what they closed tax free and the lines bottom out and it all starts over again. With the 99% of all people worse off but that 1% just doubled their money so who cares.

One of those rich people will just pay half the poor to kill the other half. Yeah not just an ominous quote, but something that just happened this month. Guy got fired for gloating about it as well.

We live in a dystopia. But at least we can have a Bananza while the world burns.

Pass, pass, pass, holds it, holds it, holds it.

@dartmonkey Ironically, the Starbucks nebula has no coffee in it. Instead it has Battlestar Galactic in it. Major disappointment.

@MathByThePixel The best Star Trek game I ever played was Bridge Commander. The parts in-between ship combat were fantastic.

I did the demo on PC, and this game has potential, but it also looks like it might miss the mark. It feels like they could have made it into FTL, but they started down that path and turned it into a mobile game. It's really a shame because an FTL star trek voyager would have been the greatest.

S table, to put the system on.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe I mean, again I understand. There was a panic then as a lady just sued McDonald's for being burned by the coffee. (Honestly the coffee was way too hot and the lawsuit was not as bad as society thought it was.). So they would have been afraid of being sued.

However what I said was true then and now. The odds of them losing a lawsuit for that would have been extremely unlikely to win. All it would have taken was a sticker on the system that would say, Do not use system except when seated in a chair away from any surfaces you could collide with. That was all it takes to avoid that lawsuit.

Of course, the point of law is to find the edges of law and they could have been sued, but they could be sued for the eye strain but they risked that.

I stand by my statement. They should have engineered a headset now and then.

The real reason they didn't do that was this system was rushed. This was supposed to combat the 32 bit systems that were being rushed to market. They didn't make the system, they bought it from another company and they just went with the cheapest path forward.

This was an expensive system, and I'm sure they cared more about haste than lawsuits. Again my proof is how often they warned you about the system.

@FrenchVaniIIuxe Well, yes and no. That's why a lot of people never bought the thing. If they put enough warnings on it they would likely be protected.

For a lawsuit to win you have to convince the judge that there was negligence and an average rational person would be endangered. While they definitely could have lost a lawsuit, it wouldn't have been guaranteed. Remember, this is a country that had to label coffee as hot and windscreen shades with a warning to take it down before driving.

Nintendo had so many lawsuits that I am sure they didn't want to go through that so they took the safe way out but all those warnings to protect them already gave the product a bad reputation. I remember people saying, this thing is going to ruin your eyesight!!

I believe they could have done it properly, and they definitely could now that VR tech is common enough, that any lawsuit would be tossed out of court. There would be no issue with a VB headset.

But honestly I hope enough people play the VB games so that when Nintendo eventually does a VR system in maybe 25 years, these games get remastered.

Assuming WW3 leaves enough of us alive for Nintendo to care.

@Dang_69 yeah Google sucks now.

It was a thing. It happened way late in the Wii life. The only reason I got a Wii U was to replace Netflix for my parents.

@Dang_69 it was a Wii. Not a Wii u. If you Google search you will see it was a thing. Bad programming.

@The_Nintendo_Expat I guess that's why everyone prays when the plane is going down.

The VB was a good system held back by one horrible decision. Nintendo was afraid of kids running around with the visor on and made it a painful experience. But if you placed the system on a couch and lay your head above it on some pillows the games were fun, unique, and engaging. If the system wasn't a pain in the neck we could have had a much different timeline.

If this was the third system, maybe in 2000 it would have been in color, and today our VR tech would be 20 years more advanced.

All I know is Teleroboxer, Mario Tennis, and Red Alert stick in my brain better than hundreds of other games I've played. Idk if this will feel the same, but I hope it brings a reappraisal. I don't know though, because they foolishly didn't make a legitimate headset.... Again.

@The_Nintendo_Expat Sorry the number you're calling is no longer in service.

By time they released it at 70 bucks it probably would be on sale for 40. Shrugs.

@TheSaneInsanity Because those are jobs that no longer exist, resources being burned by data centers, and the economy shrinking.

This is a major issue and we need to fight it.

@Milk_ The bubble bursting is going to make things much worse... But so is the bubble not bursting. There's no way out world can handle this much wasted resources and we need this to crash and burn. Unfortunately the only people who will suffer are the normal people.

We will continue to get more comfortable with being screwed over constantly. This is what progress is, some things get better and some things get worse. But you will never be as happy again.

Use AI, and I hope your product dies.

@Vyacheslav333 True. But my point stands. Mods are getting better all the time.

I wish Gabe would buy 49% of Nintendo and take the company private with 51% held by the workers of Nintendo.

Nintendo knows quality, Steam knows consumers. I would prefer to have the two as one with all the positives of both.

Who wants a skin though?!?

Nintendo sure doesn't understand what we want anymore. We want the same colors as before. We want a real mouse that works like a mouse and has all the joycon buttons. We want physical games, and we want to buy classic games and own them forever.

The lack of mods is starting to make me regret getting a switch 2. The games already cost more, but mods have become a source of entirely free new games.

I still love the Nintendo games but unless they start selling cross platform licenses, I am going to get all my indie games on PC... At least until my PC dies. Then I probably will just die myself because I can't afford this anymore.

Stop telling me I am old.

The Netflix app bricked my Wii. I will never use a video game system for such things again.

I don't need to see any call of duty. The game hasn't been good in 20 years.

Let's all hear the same points why we all think we're right about the switch 2!

Comment comment comment.

I think I'm over sports ball, there. Hasn't been a really good sports game in like 18 years.

I am going to say it, the old joycons were better on the rails and with the customization. The magnet sucks and being stuck with those political colors in my switch sucks.

I am also still waiting for a proper d pad.

Apparently is doing a lot of fraudulent work in your byline.

These companies will do anything to fight Union, which should show you all how much you really need one.

@Ralizah I know. But that's not helpful at all. You don't help a dictator come to power and then get a pass for making money with jokes about the crimes committed.

Hey, did you think Lego sets weren't overpriced enough?!? Well, I have good news for people who love bad news!!!

Incoming 200 piece Lego sets that cost 100 bucks!

@Olliemar28 But old numbers do not compare to new numbers because there's about 100x the gamers than existed back then, and now we have the hindsight of knowing this is the strategy game that will stand the test of time. I consider this the a top five best game released for the PSX.

@Kiz3000 This is the game to open the door for people.

@topher6490 Yes it is. Because it's one of the best games in it's genre and tons of people should be playing it for the first time. This game is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy better than Mario Kart World and won't get in spitting distance.

I don't disagree with what you are saying about it being not as appealing to everyone, but it's still an amazing game. Out of every game released from that point onwards, this is one of the few games of the late 90s that everyone should really play.

Yuck. The Simpsons did it already.

All jokes aside I won't be playing at all because South Park has done tremendous damage to society by convincing people all politicians are the same and acting like it's cool to let evil people do evil thing by making fun of everyone like their is no point in trying to improve the world.

I won't ever be supporting them again.

Kinda low sales to be honest for what was considered one of the best RPGs of the generation known for being the second best generation of RPGs...

It looks to have the same fault as the last charging case which is the top lid not being deep enough or sturdy enough. More battery is great if you need it but I don't know if it's good enough to protect it based on the pictures and my owning the previous case by them.

The most important poll choice isn't here: all the talk about him and the bad ratings caused me to pass on the game...

That's what matters about it the most, did this stop you from trying the game because the ratings dropped due to this feature?

Bah humbug. New year can't be happy when the world is burning down.

X appeals to the lowest common denominator, apparently.
