@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.
It's a mildly interactive movie done in the style of the Spider-Man animated films.
The game makers clearly wanted to make a movie but didn't have the Hollywood clout.
Story is a little clunky, they're always too focused on the druggie/flunky type, or an over-emphasis on parties/drinking, but the basic premise of that end of year of high school and change, what you're going to do, what's important. Will you see your friends again (I just took my disabled mother to the 60th High School reunion so I've got a fresh perspective on it) Leaving things behind, the way you were raised making you who you want to, or who you don't want to be, etc... is universal. And the voice actors really do carry it, and do a good job.
The interactive parts could have been better if there was a little more to the engine. The fireworks part, for example, would have been better if you could better synchronize the explosions to the music. Sometimes if you didn't set them off immediately upon seeing them they wouldn't go off if you held off to synchronize to the music just because you wanted to. Skateboard sections would have been more fun if you could actually grind and stuff. Main characters walking pace is TOO SLOW for the many "point-and-click" sections.
Overall, it's not a good game or a good movie, but the acting was good enough that it wasn't a bad experience either.
@axelhander If that were the case why would all other electronics be getting more expensive? Wouldn't other manufacturers just Switch over to "superior" and "cheaper" Chinese RAM? They haven't and can't, because you're a liar.
@NPC411 You clearly have not looked at the cost of SSD's recently. Between November and now an 8TB Gen 4 went from $600 to $1400. This is absolutely a supply and demand problem when it comes to components used in the Switch. Guess what, ALL of your electronics are about to become stupid expensive thanks to "AI." It's not just a Nintendo problem.

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.

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: Star Fox Is Finally Getting Another Game, Out June 2026 Exclusively On Switch 2
Remaking 64 is fine. It was perfect the way it was. They're not going to make a better one, might as well polish the holy hell out of the good one.
