Let's be honest now. I don't think anyone has ever learned anything that's brought real value to their life from using twitter. Its always been a waste of time. Anyone getting upset for whatever Elon is doing with it should take a step back and ask why the hell they were using it in the first place.
F-zero GX isn't as hard as some people are making it out to be. Its not even about "git gud"; you probably just didn't understand the mechanics of turning and acceleration very well because the track design was solid and fair.
I'd recommend giving it a try again; a good analogy would be that...driving a car would be really difficult too if you're driving with your feet. Its more like you're doing something wrong than that its a bad car with poor handling.
Would be great. I always liked the increased emphasis on swordplay in Zelda 2. Expanding that combat system would be great outside of the usual graphical and other quality of life upgrades. It was actually my first Zelda game so I had nothing to be upset about when people were complaining they wanted the top down zelda style.
@Donutman Nintendo didn't make Link a girl in Botw. So I really don't get what the problem is? That some people online wanted that? Why do you care about what other people want who cares. Eat a Donut, man, and relax its all good.
I think people overexagerrate the difficulty of Zelda 2. You really just have to understand the gameplay mechanics and use your shield. Some sections were a bit difficult; but with all the magic you get(defense magic early on especially) its not that bad.
It was always fun to fight the ironknuckles; and go deeper and deeper into dungeons. There was a bigger sense of dread when healing items are not so readily available.
@BulbasaurusRex I think you're being too literal with what I'm saying.
Its obvious that the "feeling" of 8 bit era platform games is what they they were aiming for. Not that the NES can actually run Shovel Knight. 16 bit games of the time had a different look.
@BulbasaurusRex Hmm noo I think they were aiming for 8-bit flavor with Shovel Knight. It looks more reminiscent of the Megaman games on NES than the ones on SNES. The music uses more NES style sounds as well
@Biff_ARMStrong You know some dumb kids if you think this will be impossible to put together., Besides that; kids do ruin everything- but so what? Most plastic toys are pretty expensive on their own. Its just part of life and its gonna be ok.
@Dizzy_Boy They always say its the "8 bit" look. But no 8 bit games ever look like that. Only shovel knight got it right. This is just some sort of new pixel art
@Hordak It takes practice to make it feel smooth. Its like riding a bike or skateboard or whatever for the first time. Always feel clunky at first and then something clicks and you're like "oh wow how did I ever think this was awkward"
@LUIGITORNADO Lol yeah just go into accounting and drown your sorrows away in doing lines of coke until you and your wife end up on the news for a murder-suicide. There's plenty of ways for life to go wrong; but I think if someone is able to pursue the crazy childhood fantasy of making money by playing videogames; all the more power to them.
@Agramonte I don't see it comparable to Doom. Doom was released just last year and its Arcade style of gameplay is great for when you're playing on the go.
Yeah man its fun when you play. I watched gameplay videos all the way up to Dark Souls 3 and it all looked like dull boring environments and slow clunky gameplay. But once I played it I started to see the allure.
This makes total sense. We have plenty of options for VR if we want it. Nintendo should continue to be the company that does something a bit different. If they do eventually get into VR; it would be with ideas unique to Nintendo and not simply a copycat of Oculus/HTC/PSVR with a different controller.
As for 4K; yeah at this time most people don't have a 4K TV/Monitor just yet. Not only that but honestly the difference from 1080p to 4K is more like the jump from 720 to 1080 at first glance. It is not like the feeling we got from standard to HD.

Even though I didn't like GT; Super 17 would've been better

Re: Review: WarioWare Gold (3DS)
Still hoping they release a brand new WarioWare title for the Switch.
Re: Nintendo Reveals Fitness Boxing Exclusively For Switch
They should just make a new punch out game with a fitness boxing sub-game in it.
Either way I'm a boxing fanatic so I'll probably get this

Re: Breath Of The Wild Mod Finally Lets Zelda Forge Her Own Legend
@Donutman Its just a mod. You're thinking way too deep into it.

Re: WarioWare Gold Is Bringing Minigame Madness To 3DS This August
Warioware is crazy fun. They really need to do something like the multiplayer warioware that was on gamecube.
