@rxchrisg Maybe try to understand their position, instead of wrongly assuming everyone is a man baby (tons of women have played FF8) and poking fun at them for wanting something other than the digital offering.
@graysoncharles Glad you are self aware enough to realize that. I’m in agreement with you, but I’m also afraid that the machine has been rolling for far too long to be stopped or even slowed down at this point. It would take a momentous disaster for these people to recognize that the planet is more important than the money they earn!
@Shade_Koopa Hold my NES. Jokes aside, lots of us still have legacy systems. Heck, I just played Actraiser for the first time on my SNES, and just attempted the new SA-1 enhancement for Gradius 3, yesterday. Meanwhile, my PS4 hasn’t been booted up in a few months.
@telepathy2000 I wonder about the patching, too. All my modern games that required patching still run without the "day 1" patch and onward. So, as long as my hardware holds out I'll be able to play those things as long as I am able. If I remember right, Mega Man X Legacy Collection didn't require a patch, and there are a few others. I see others on here are resisting the "all digital" age. I'll definitely be skipping it, as the last console I planned on buying was the Switch. If they do an update with stronger hardware I'll get that if it has significant improvements, but with the push for more digital stuff the less inclined I am to support modern consoles. Eh, I have enough to play, anyway. Sorry for the mini rant! Enjoy your day!
@Shade_Koopa lol Really? The PS5 will still play physical games, and Nintendo pumps out physical carts all the time. But, I guess some people enjoy cheap game rental services. I'll still be able to play my games, after Nintendo turns off their download server in a few years.
@MeloMan How's the emulation on that, lately? I grabbed one at launch for a good discount but the emulation was extremely tedious to set up and very inconsistent.
If Cyber Shadow is revealed I’ll be more than happy. I just hope they don’t release it and then add a bajillion things to it for years later like with Shovel Knight. Less is more!
@embison Why don’t they just say vertical or horizontal? This is literally the first generation of systems where I’ve even heard the words Tate or yoko. Are the terms that common, or even proper?
@TheFox Same in California, where I grew up. People just said “Nintendo” to mean “whatever the latest machine is.” Same with Sega. Hell I didn’t even know there was a Sega Master System until at least a decade after its release because everyone just referenced the Genesis.
Honestly, with the way some companies have been milking Switch players by releasing digital and then OMG LIMITED PHYSICAL CART months later, it wouldn’t surprise me if we got some kind of cart down the line with these games bundled.
@Ralizah Watched varying anime for 20 years. It’s gotten so samey it’s very sad. Show me something you think is unique and I’ll pull something up that already did that. Im saying it’s not treading any new ground, and that someone with talent needs to push the medium forward. What’s so silly about wanting something to evolve past “skinny tough kid with giant sword,” or “quiet girl with bow and arrow,” etc etc...
Please don’t message me back. You’ve been fairly aggressive in the past to other users and I’m not entirely interested in engaging further. Thank you.
This is shovelware from the Apple Store. You play it for about 10 minutes, get the gist, then go back to playing something with some meat on it's bones. Surprised that this game got scored an 8, while it's at best, a 6 for the simple reason that it doesn't hold ones attention for long.
@sdelfin I feel like everyone is trying to sell me on this game, but while it piqued my interest I’m finding it’s not for me. So far you’ve been the most reasonable and nice about it; I’m glad you enjoy it but it’s not for me. I do love the graphics, I just wish it were slightly more engaging. Anyway, have fun!
Neat! While it's unfortunate that they still flake, hopefully Nintendo gets a revision out.
Honestly, the Switch Joycon is the first Nintendo controller I have ever replaced. Even my N64 controllers lasted years and years before finally failing, and that was mainly from poor upkeep!
@sdelfin I mean, it's cool that you say that, but the review calls this a MASTER CLASS in SNES revival. If that were the case, why not have the AI actually attack you from the start, like other beat 'em ups? I can actually die in the first stage of TMNT 4, or Final Fight. It doesn't look like I can actually die in the Ninja Saviours game until stage 3, where in the longplays I watched, things actually started getting in your way.
That's two wasted stages, and in my opinion does not show what a "master class," could be. Heck, even the review later on said that the game felt too short and too easy.
@OorWullie Right, perhaps from a technical perspective they work better, but after having played them over the years I don't feel as attached to them as some of the older games from the SNES. Heck, even a nice port of Raiden 2 would be better than these, for me!
@YANDMAN I highly doubt the devs ONLY want the small amount of people who played the originals to get the new one. That doesn't make sense, from a business perspective. If you asked them, I'm sure they will tell you they want old and NEW players to like their franchise.
I know it's a touchy subject when someone doesn't like, "my favorite thing," but it really is okay to just let bygones be bygones and move right alone! No harm done.
To the article, I don't understand how Mario Maker 2 can possibly be disappointing, when you compare it as a sequel. Mario Maker on Wii U and 3DS pales in comparison to what 2 can do. I still go back to my 3DS one, but after making 60 levels on Mario Maker 2 and....12 on my 3DS? Yeah, I think you can see where I'm coming from! This is such a great game and I think it's a tad disappointing that anyone would be disappointed in it.
I've been having a blast with it, and I don't even have the online sub! Though, I might get it just to nab a few fun levels from online.
@HalBailman DUDE. I've been making levels that I found online. So many people post videos of their levels in action, and it's easy enough in most cases to figure out how they did things. All that to say, I don't have the Nintendo sub, but I can still use a few user created levels that I "made" by watching a video, pausing it every now and then and copying item placement and such. It's actually faster than making my own levels! LOL
Additional note: playing the story mode, while fun, only unlocks two items. I've made 60 of my own levels so far, and "stolen" a few online. It's totally worth your time to make levels before completing the story mode. Have fun, man!
@YANDMAN I see, but in both of the long plays I watched the enemies barely did anything until late-game, so why does timing attacks matter if the enemies just sit there?
Keep in mind, I agree with you overall sentiment. I think it’s kinda lazy that gaming sites don’t revisit games after they have been patched a lot. A good example is No Mans Sky, which is literally a different game than it’s original launch.

@Charinzardon Kinda makes you wonder why the remastered Turok games got physical releases through Limited Run. People still like carts and such!

@Yarec123 Do you mean the Collection of Mana?

@BANJO I was just showing a friend of mine the glories of F Zero X! He had an N64 when he was a kid but somehow missed that one.

@Glitchling78 Haha, the screen saver of my life has been Dark Souls since it first came out years ago. What a cool phrase. I like it!

Dark Souls, of course!

Re: See Dan Aykroyd In The New Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered Trailer
