That was amazing. I still say the 3DS is the best handheld game machine ever made.

Update the hardware to modern standards, and I would buy a 2025 3DS today over a Nintendo Switch.

The form factor of the 3DS is a million times superior to the Switch.

As an official 3DS ambassador, I salute this person and thank her for doing her part to hold on to what little we had left.

O.o .... o.O ..... >.< .... GO OUTSIDE!!!

LOL

What has this world come to when we enjoy games about doing work more than actually doing work? There's that office game in VR, Supermarket Simulator, Gas Station Simulator, Carwashing Simulator, and now this... a lawnmowing simulator. /sigh ... and you know I will have to play it. UGH!

Re: Video: Don't Be Fooled Into Buying Fake SD Cards For Your Switch

The thing that irritates me the most is that they get away with it. Not only should the seller be held accountable, but Amazon should be held accountable as well. I truly hate buying anything from Amazon (even though I do because of the convenience...sigh) because about one out of every 3 items I buy is absolutely horrible quality.

Re: Zelda Producer Responds To Fans Who Want A More "Traditional Linear" Adventure

Here's the thing. They can make what ever they want. In the end, if I don't like it, I wont buy it. It's that simple. And, don't get me wrong here. I know that me not buying it does NOT mean they wont make it. Again, they can make what ever they want. I didn't like BoTW's style of Zelda game. I barely played it after trying it. Therefore, I did not buy the next one in the series.

If they ever make a main line Zelda game again, I will buy that. Until then, I just will spend my money elsewhere.

This is the problem when you keep the same name but go in a completely different design direction.

Zelda today is not the same game as Zelda of yesterday. He completely misses the mark when he thinks that people just want nostalgia. What they want is a traditional Zelda game.

I see the same issue in the Pokemon series. Now that they have open world Pokemon games, there are no traditional Pokemon games being made. I am sure that there are people out there that do still prefer the traditional style Pokemon over the open world style we have today. I am one of those people.

There needs to be a distinction in the naming of these games going forward to indicate if they are a top-down style game or an open world style game. Just because the names are the same does NOT mean the games are the same. They are very, very different.

@garfreek I hear what you are saying, and I agree that she's an idiot. Sadly, there's a lot of idiots in this world, but that's not going to stop me from enjoying a great game and recognizing the efforts of the people that made it. They have nothing to do with her, and they deserved to be recognized.

I'm not a big HP fanboy. I have watched a couple of the movies, but I have never read a single book in the series. Personally, I prefer the spinoff of Fantastic Beasts movies a lot more. That all being said, I found the Hogwarts game to be really good. I loved the graphics, the sound, and how it just sucked me in to the world.

At any rate, that's my two cents on the game. I think it deserved to at least be mentioned. Of course, everyone has the right to their opinions, and I respect that.

Re: The Game Awards 2023: Where And When To Watch The Game Awards

All those developers, designers, artists, composers, marketers, and other employees that worked their butts off to deliver a really great game got ripped off just because people don't like the author of the original intellectual property that it was based on. Yes. I am talking about Hogwarts. The game was phenomenal and deserved to be nominated on at least one category if not numerous. Cancel culture needs to stop. If you don't like someone, then don't like them, but don't hate the company for the actions, words, or thoughts of a single individual. Just stop it already. It's sad that the world has devolved in to a playground mentality of "I know you are but what am I". Grow up. Be responsible adults already. Stop acting like kindergarteners.

Sorry.. I'm just sick of the immaturity of adults these days.

Re: Super Mario RPG Switch Leaked Online Ahead Of Next Week's Release

PharoneTheGnome

These leaks suck for us content providers because it eats up some of the hype that otherwise would be going to our channels on the actual date the game comes out. Not that many watch my content anyways, but you know.. just kinda irks me that we have to wait until the official release date while the bad guys get early access. ps... twitch.tv/pharone and youtube.com/pharone1 if anybody cares.
