Re: Video: Capcom Shows Off Mega Man X Legacy's Bonus Features In New Footage

MrVariant

@Vriess back in my day they had 1 collection and it had all the damn games. But somehow they cut a rerelease in half, charge double for 1 physical copy and 1 download code, and people are all shut up and take my money. No wonder Capcom still makes money despite screwups and ripoffs. Hell, throw in cannon spike as megaman was playable. But nope.

Re: Random: Nintendo Lands Itself In Hot Water With Norway

@Mortenb it isn't that bad but Wario apparently needs his preorder money. I wish Phoenix wright would cover stuff besides murder; that's why I liked devil's attorney even if plot base was only story, but fun to defend bootlegging tapes. I do think a good sign of a company is the refund policy.

Re: Mega Man X Collection May Be Coming in Two Separate Releases

MrVariant

@OorWullie it's so sad too. I felt the legacy collections after megaman anniversary collection were ripoffs. It should've just been 1-6, 9 and 10 in 1 nes style collection rather than 2 games having only 9 and 10 as new content compared to anniversary collection, which also had power fighters 1 and 2, which are also missing on legacy collections 2. They could have even added the game boy games from cancelled mega Man mania.

People even buy the shoddy megaman mobile games too. But emulators are bad mmmkay 😂

@Alucard83 how no one says faceless characters like the granstream saga is a weird pink elephant in the room. I can stick to path through the forest or ghoulboy on my phone.

Re: YouTuber Gets Banned From Site For Streaming Super Mario Odyssey

MrVariant

@rjejr I agree. It discourages me from buying Nintendo to hear this heavy handed bit; let's not forget the fact they nickle and dime let's players to the point where they refuse Nintendo games. YouTube is full of bs too. Not sure what the current policies are, but it is tough to regain faith in bad policies. I'll still check nindies but I could easily play a hack like hyper Metroid which has fast bullets and better controls. Rather than buy Metroid 2, need the amino for hard mode and ignore the fan game they shut down; why should I inconvenience myself?

@SLIGEACH_EIRE lol Mario is a serial killer and animal abuse given donkey Kong jr. As Bowser would say in super Mario rpg, Fungah! Foiled again. Hm, for something kid friendly I guess there is always excitebike, puzzle, sports games and of course Gunstar heroes 3d with a forgivable difficulty given double health and always keeping 2 guns.

Re: Editorial: Mandatory Memory Cards for Switch Retail Games is a Messy Solution

MrVariant

@w00dm4n lol is that a song. We gotta get outta here? I also think all about the pentiums parody with weird Al yankovic. Does make me laugh to see the games can't even run without sd. And then needing the amiibo for hard mode in Metroid 2 samus returns. Back in my day we had everything we wanted once we popped on the game and unlocked extras by having the skill (or game genie) to beat it. Damn I feel old.

Re: Review: Metal Slug 2 (Switch eShop / Neo Geo)

MrVariant

Lol how many ports? And why not metal slug advance with classic continues rather than the dumb life bar. I forgot the name of the one you could play as king of fighters army characters Leona, Ralf and Clark but do that and skip the dlc.

Re: First Three Dragon Quest Titles Heading to the 3DS in Japan

MrVariant

@ecco6t9 weren't the mini medals taken out of the mobile ports? That is a bad thing. Plus dragon quest 3 was really the only one that aged well, and even then it doesn't hold a candle to final fantasy 5 (as my icon dances around it) in terms of stories/jobs.

Though the ancient cave hack to make blue mage playable in chests from random dungeons pretty much fixes any problems with the job though Hermes shoes ninja is badass, and even the geomancer is helpful for the random floors with damage tiles.

Re: Review: Hey! Pikmin (3DS)

MrVariant

@Moon I always had trouble with downloading the demo of this and those short movies for some reason. Tough to prioritize this over chibi robo apparently, and that is like $5-6 on ebay, though it feels weird to do random levels, but the gameplay and dialogue is more exciting.

Re: Review: Kirby's Blowout Blast (3DS eShop)

MrVariant

@Nintendian try to no damage the ex levels. That alone adds challenge. I call it super Kirby 3d land. I like these Kirby expansions because I don't feel I have to buy the main game if I prefer these. Doubt they will ever top superstar honestly, with metaknight. I do like this.
