Re: Nintendo Takes Legal Action Against Two Notorious Arizona-Based ROM Websites

Nincompoop

@twztid13 Just search for NES or SNES roms, you will find hundreds of websites hosting them. They have been there since the late 90s, archived like a library. They were not as sought after as they used to be.

Nintendo sue these sites once in a while, but the roms will always be freely available on the internet. Nintendo knew that, but it's a routine they did for many years. They sued the one in US because the law allows them to... those in Russia, China or South America are immune.

The game is not really that good. It's an OK game with dull voice acting. Maybe in Japanese it sounds ok, but in English they are pretty cheesy. Reviewers are hyping this game like it's the best JRPG... it's the nostalgia talking, their 11 years old self were reviewing the game.

You basically just find the weak point of every monsters/bosses you met and spammed the attack. Once you know their weak points you repeat the same fight over and over, happily grinding the game into powder.

You guys are all idiots... people are now stealing 'roms' directly from Nintendo server. There's no need for middleman pirates to distribute roms on websites.

Those old retro roms are worthless, it's the Wii U, 3DS and Switch roms that people are actively stealing from Nintendo's server and there's nothing Nintendo can do about it due to the way their system were setup.

This is just Nintendo venting their frustration.

Re: Japanese Players Vote Hollow Knight As The Most Recommended Digital Switch Game This Month

Nincompoop

Lumines Remastered is the best recent digital downloads, I can play this forever.

For the most addictive: Vostok Inc. This game is like Steamworld Dig/2, it wastes your time like no other.

Gorogoa is the most unique game in the eShop. It changes your perception.

Sky Rogue is the most hidden gem. This game proves that graphics is not everything. It's more fun than any flight shooting game, I wish they made one for VR.

Re: Hollow Knight Sold Over A Quarter Of A Million Copies On Switch In Two Weeks

@The_Mysteron Years ago before Unity or Unreal existed, all game devs including indies built their own engines. And years before that, all game devs know how to code in Assembler.

So you see, over the years devs are getting lazier and dumber, only using high level coding languages and not knowing how to optimise performance with machine codes.

The easier the toolkit, the less the user knows what's running under the hood. The less they know, they less they can fixed the problem and improved performance. This is the reason for so many delays when using 3rd party engines, they are struggling to fix slow frame rate and loading time.
