@silver-crescent I'd go out on a limb and assume the graphics style/animation puts people off of it. I know the speed of scrolling versus the animation itself bothers me to watch.
Technically the PS5 is on track to surpass the Switch by the time it reaches 7 years old... then again Youtube makes it sound like Sony and MS are on the verge of Atari-like situations too.
Yeah, look at other media. Comics still say Stan Lee Presents even though he hasn't worked at Marvel in 40 years, and is now dead. You'd think a final credit like, "The Legend of Zelda, created by Shigeru Miyamoto" would be included or something like that.
@EarthboundBenjy Due to it's combination of licenses it's already rare to release, not every one of these games has been ported to console either, ports have been flawed in some fashion most of the time, none of them have ever appeared on a Nintendo platform before either. And the sales debacle that was Marvel Versus Capcom: Infinite, with the Marvel decree of no X-Men (which this entire fighting genre began with), and a clearly half-assed art direction meant people rejected it and sales tanked and people believed Capcom would never attempt anything like this again.
I don't know, in all of these New SMB games they keep trying to recreate the feel of the original Mario Brothers instead of iterating on the superior Mario World feel.
Seems like a missed opportunity, since they've wrapped around to calling this Mortal Kombat 1, to not release on September 18th. Do the Mortal Monday thing like they did with the original.
64 is one of my all-time favorite games. The closest thing to a Mario 64 sequel were the challenge levels in Sunshine. Odyssey is not a sequel to 64 at all.
This is the same story again and again. A group of people who will always complain about Nintendo because they want them out of the hardware market and be only a game developer like Sega.
I did have a friend who's Mom did all of the merchandising in New Mexico for Nintendo. We played and finished Mario 64 two months before the N64 released because she had extra demo units. He also had a demo of Star Fox 2 for the SNES we got to try out. Nintendo actually sent it out to employees with kids for market research to see how enjoyed it. I guess we were the only ones who did...
@Tasuki Not really, though. He left The Witcher because the writers hate the material and he's a massive fan of the books/games. He didn't like participating in something that actively went against the property.
@sketchturner Sheep mentality would have been everyone also praising it because reviewers were positive. Actual players didn't like it. That's the opposite of sheep.
I'd push 3 through 6 back and move Tournament Fighters up to the third spot. There's no way a poorly ported Arcade is better than Tournament Fighters was.

Do you know how many No Photography signs I see from Action Trade shows? All of them. Everybody breaks that rule all the time.

Re: Zelda's 'Tears Of The Kingdom' Figma Launches Next August, Pre-Orders Now Open
This was a poor choice. It's a road cone from the waist down.
Re: Dragon Quest Creator Chimes In On Characters Showing Less Skin In Upcoming HD-2D Remake
@Scposteel That does not make it necessary.
Re: Random: Coder Creates Super Mario 64 For The GBA, And It's Looking Excellent
That's a curious atrocity.
Re: Soapbox: Marvel Vs. Capcom Was The Unsung Hero Of The June Nintendo Direct
@Noelemahc Children of the Atom is based on Fatal Attractions.
You'll never guess how many X-Men comics I've read... all of them.
Re: Zelda 'Tears Of The Kingdom' Figma Prototype Unveiled, Here's A First Look
Give me more hyper-articulated Legend of Zelda figures, I'll buy them.

Re: Mailbox: 'Switch 2' Launch Ports, Soulslikes For Beginners, Poké Parks - Nintendo Life Letters
If you're going to port something to Switch 2 I'd personally want portable Armored Core 6.
Re: Contra: Operation Galuga "Full-Version Patch Update" Announced For Switch
The comment I left after the demo was their frame rstes were broken. Guess that didn't matter.
Re: Macross: Shooting Instinct Is Bringing Slick Shmup Action To The West This Year
@Daggot You're confusing this for something else that it isn't.
Re: Macross: Shooting Instinct Is Bringing Slick Shmup Action To The West This Year
@Spider-Kev This game, especially the Western version, has nothing to do with that trash.
Re: Classic Horror Beat 'Em Up 'Night Slashers' Is Getting A Remake On Switch
None of these remakes know how to make good looking updated sprites.
Re: Talking Point: Is Knowing A Game's Ending Really That Bad?
Video games are about gameplay. Thst should be fun regardless of the story. If knowing the ending ruins the game it was never good to begin with.

But is it any fun?
Re: "Fans Have Waited Many Years For A Return To Form" - WayForward On Contra's Grand Revival

Re: Video: Here's 20 Minutes Of Super Mario Bros. Wonder Gameplay From Nintendo Treehouse
@Serpenterror The tactile controls keep recreating a facimile of the original SMB instead of later, better games, is what I'm saying.

Re: Best Switch Ports - The Most Impressive Ports On Nintendo Switch
@TG16_IS_BAE Porting games IS NOT much cheaper. You have zero knowledge of software development.
Re: WayForward's Game Boy Color Classic 'Xtreme Sports' Is Out Now On Switch
I wonder if they're testing the waters for an upgraded version?
Re: Talking Point: After Three Months, What's Your Zelda: TOTK Completion Percentage?
0-9%. I was hyped for it but it hasn't kept my attention.

Re: Mortal Kombat 1 Confirmed For Switch, Launching September
@ModdedInkling And don't forget the absolute miracle Sabre worked porting The Witcher 3 to Switch. That was some incredible magic.
Re: It Looks Like Cooking Recipes Are A Thing In Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
Can I just have blue and red potions again, please? I don't want to cook, that's already a chore in real life.
Re: Feature: 50 Years Of Landmark Video Games, One Per Year, All Playable On Nintendo Switch
I think the real striking thing is how around 86 Graphics/gameplay sophistication absolutely skyrocket.
Re: 50 Best Nintendo Switch Games So Far
64 is one of my all-time favorite games. The closest thing to a Mario 64 sequel were the challenge levels in Sunshine. Odyssey is not a sequel to 64 at all.
Re: Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Switch Release Has Reversible Cover Art
How are people already getting this? I ordered right after the stream and it got delayed until end of March.

Re: Best Of 2022: "My Uncle Works At Nintendo" - The Man, The Myth, And The Mendacity
I did have a friend who's Mom did all of the merchandising in New Mexico for Nintendo. We played and finished Mario 64 two months before the N64 released because she had extra demo units.

Re: Two New Side-Scrolling Action Platformers Are Coming To Nintendo Switch In 2023
Gravity Circuit looks like a cross between NES-era Mega Man and Mischief Makers from the N64.
Re: Henry Cavill Won't Return To The Witcher Even Though He's No Longer Superman
@Tasuki Not really, though. He left The Witcher because the writers hate the material and he's a massive fan of the books/games. He didn't like participating in something that actively went against the property.
Re: Review: Warp Drive - An F-Zero-Inspired Racer With Promise And Performance Woes
Too many F-Zero clones, not enough WipEout ones.
Re: N64 Classic Perfect Dark Has Been Decompiled, Paving The Way For PC Ports
@Coalescence The only problem is Body Harvest really didn't have very great gameplay. It was an interesting attempt at early 3D gaming though.
Re: Talking Point: It's About Time Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night Came To Switch
@IronMan30 That's what it looks like. They have always ducked re-releasing this one on Nintendo Hardware and Nintendo only.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Worst Game That You Still Love For Some Reason?
@sketchturner Sheep mentality would have been everyone also praising it because reviewers were positive. Actual players didn't like it. That's the opposite of sheep.

Castlevania 64.

Re: Best Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Games On Nintendo Systems
I'd push 3 through 6 back and move Tournament Fighters up to the third spot. There's no way a poorly ported Arcade is better than Tournament Fighters was.
Re: Gallery: Here's A Look At Wave Race 64 For The Switch Online Expansion Pack
I wish they'd do a Blue Storm rebuild for the Switch.
Re: Talking Point: How Were You Introduced To Metroid?
It was one of the in store demos for the NES back in '86. Pretty much confused every kid who tried it out.
