@roy130390 64 is a platformer, not 3d adventure. Both of those games showed the industry how to do the gente. FF7 was basically FF's 1-6 but woth fmv, which was not new. RE4 was a good third person shooter, but it wasn't the first one or the one thst defoned how the industry should work.
@roy130390 No, those things existed before and were already done well. Zelda showed how to actually implement a good 3d adventure game for the first time and is still the standard today.
@Grumblevolcano The problem with that argument is neither of those other two games are as foundational as Zelda was. You can deviate because they didn't matter. Ocarina was the template for 3D Adventure games up until today. It can't be modified in the same manner and retain what makes it great.
@Henmii Almost is not the same as the same. Also, according to this site, the sticks are not having the same problems and match regular industry rates of failure.
@Henmii I got it because I wanted a d-pad for fighting games. The originsl controller size, etc... didn't bother me. But people seem to love the size and feel of it. I can attest, the d-pad works amazingly for SF6, MvC, etc...
@Whirlwound I haven't a clue what you've looked up but my controller is fully wireless and splits apart to work in handheld mode. It's the only 3rd party joycon that can wake the system up in handh3ld as well.
@ParsnipHero In no way is it disingenuous. You don't like remakes, so what? Some people do want a better looking version of a 30+ year old game. Especially kids.
Pissing and moaning about profit means you don't understand the first thing about how business works. Making a profit is the point. Duking you things for free, at a personal loss or breaking even, means you go out of business or have massive layoffs.... like Sony and MS right now. With profit you have money to weather the storm, either from uncontrollable external factors or in the instances they make their own bad judgement, they'll still be solvent. Your argument is nothing more than ignorance+envy.
@AussieMcBucket Technically we always have been "paying for" their good decisions. People used to piss and moan Nintendo wasn't duking them a free console and they were overpriced. But they always running a business to make money and be financially stable. So we always did pay slightly more.
The Mom of a buddy of mine in High School worked for Nintendo and he had the N64 a full three months ahead of launch. We pulled an all-nighter and finished it two months before official US release.
@Shade_Koopa You're confusing detail density for "realistic." They're still very much stylized compared to actual animals. And not just because they're bi-pedal.
I really want proper follow ups to TMNT and the X-Men arcade games. I don't think these Dotemu games really fit in or are very good. Never even bothered finishing the Marvel one.

Re: The First Review For Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Switch 2 Is In
@roy130390 FF7 and RE4 were well executed but neither game established or set a standard for how a genre should be made/played. Ocarina did.

Re: Nintendo Download: 29th October (North America)
Stellar Blade would be a download for next Thursday, November 5th. Either that or you need to list Ocarina of Time too.
Re: The Duskbloods Switch 2 Release Has Been Delayed To 2027
There's always gotta be one Nintendo Launch game that takes four years...
Re: Round Up: The Reviews For Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Are In
@BrianJL Two things can be true at the same time.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews For Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Are In
@BrianJL But Symphony of the Night felt good. This just feel like... a lot of other not particularly great games.

@VeganH That doesn't make you all falling for it any less stupid.

@ElkinFencer10 We aren't acting like they're new. We don't like having no game on a blu ray either.

Long load times, even though it has to be fully on the system?
Re: Talking Point: So, How Are You Liking The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo?
@arnoldlayne83 Because if I wanted to play Dead Cells, I'd play Dead Cells.
Re: Talking Point: So, How Are You Liking The Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Demo?
Even on Switch 2 there are some really weird hiccups that happen.

@Henmii This is silly thinking though, these are not the same joycons as the switch.

Re: Japanese Console Market Would Have Been "Eliminated" If Switch Failed, Says Analyst
@-wc- Which console are you referring to, the PS Flounder or the X-Flop?
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 On Switch 2 Uses Frame Generation
I'd love to support Capcom too, as soon as they put their games on a cart.

Re: Rayman Legends Retold Has Been Delayed
And people complain about Star Fox 64 being remade...
Re: Hori Has Announced A Modular Arcade Stick For Switch 2, And It Looks Awesome
@Henmii You could always go with a Nyxi Hyperion 3 Ultra. Better D-Pad and HD Rumble/mouse mode.
Re: It's Official, Diablo 4: Age Of Hatred Collection Brings Hell To Switch 2 Next Week
Another game I won't physically own so I won't buy.
Re: Zelda 40th Anniversary Special Edition Switch 2 Console & Pro Controller Launch This October
That's my birthday.
I should send Nintendo a picture of EVERY SINGLE Console/handheld etc... and they should send me one of these for free.

Re: Hasbro Reveals Its New Legend Of Zelda Toys, And Yeah, We Want Them
@PrincessMama Kids don't actually buy toys anymore anyway. This is basically for 40 year old Men.
Also, action figure. Not doll.
Re: Hasbro Reveals Its New Legend Of Zelda Toys, And Yeah, We Want Them
@Lady_rosalina Cheaper in both quality and price.

Re: Opinion: Nintendo Gains A Rep Boost As Sony & Microsoft Lay Waste To The Industry
@ParsnipHero What's wrong with remakes? My niece and Nephew have never played these games before.
Price hikes? Like they're just doing it to stick it to people and not because of well documented component price increases?
These are both stupid excuses.

Re: Hasbro And Nintendo Partner Up On New Legend Of Zelda Toys
@Spider-Kev
1 - lack of detailed paint applications.
Depends on the line.
2 - reused body parts that won't look right on other figures.
Depends on the line, really only Marvel Legends
3 - bad paint jobs
Depends on the line and release.
4 - bad sculpt jobs
Depends on the release
5 - $35 (usd) prices for figures with very little accessories.
It's a wider swing than this, some are $50 and even worse.
6 - reused accessories
All companies do this.
7 - items only available at conventions
All companies do this.
8 - items only available online
All companies do this.
9 - items only available at select retailers
All companies do this.

I love the art style but my life is not in a place where co-op gaming is convenient or desireable.
Re: Mysterious 'Metroid Ravenous' Game Rating Appears Online
Dread's moment-to-moment physical gameplay was good. Their level design/flow was not.
Re: Talking Point: As Sony Bins Physical, How Long Until Nintendo Follows Suit?
You will no longer own your games. I was laughed at 25 years ago when Steam first came out and I said it.
Re: It's Looking Likely That Switch 2 Will Have A Handheld PS6 Competitor
So the same as always Sony will copy Nintendo because they have no ideas of their own and their fanbase will pretend Sony did it first.
Re: Talking Point: Have You Bought A 1TB Micro SD Express Card Yet?
Midway through Nintendo's Switch 2 presentation I logged into Amazon and bought a 1TB on the spot.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think Of Link's New Ocarina Of Time Design?
@kalosn It's just the typical Nintendo piss-and-moan. Especially for the past year. Nothing they do is correct. Doesn't matter what it is.
