Re: Feature: Strictly Limited Responds To Switch Delays And Discontent, And Details An Ambitious Target

PinballBuzzbro

I want nothing but for this company to go under. The year long shipping delays are one thing, but on top of that, they straight up LIE to their customer's faces FLAT OUT on a CONSTANT basis. I ordered their Turrican games physically for almost 200 dollars, because their ceo and the listing on the website said the physical cartridge version would be the only medium the turrican anthology collections would be released on, whereas digital storefronts would simply get the inferior Turrican Flashback. So I waited almost 2 YEARS for the things to arrive in my mailbox, and when i FINALLY got them, literally less then 2 days afterwards they silently dropped the Turrican Anthologies onto the switch eshop despite LITERALLY SAYING PRIOR that they would only EVER be released on cartridge and they had no plans to go digital with them. They did this with the Wonder Boy collection too, and in fact were so bad with keeping promises with their Asha in Monster world release, that they straight up lost the rights to selling it and the game (with the bonus of the og monster world iv being playable they originall promised as "exclusive" to their physical version) instead became widely purchaseable on Amazon and other outlets under a different publisher who actually knows what they're doing. I can respect wanting to make physical versions of obscure old games and whatnot, but when you do it in this insane snake-oil-salesman-level way of straight up lying to your consumers, that's where I draw the line and begin to despise you.

Re: Surprise! Capcom's First Showcase Of 2025 Is Airing Next Week

PinballBuzzbro

As much as I like Capcom as a company for the most part, these showcases of theirs are always GENERATIONALLY bad, to the point I've made it a life goal to never tune in to a single one of them ever again. Y'all complaining about a Nintendo Direct being "mediocre" or "mid" haven't experienced jack-all until you've sat through an E3 conference where the final announcement is advertising Street Fighter V E-sports for 15 minutes💀💀💀

Re: The Switch eShop Is A Nightmare, So We've Made Our Own "Better eShop"

PinballBuzzbro

Going through the """"shovelware"""" section and aside from the obvious ai mobile game slop there are a LOOOOT of genuinely passionately made games on here that werent pumped out for a cheap buck. The Squidlit games, Panic Porcupine, Murtop, Pixel Game maker series, Tomomi, it goes on and on. I'd highly recommend either scrapping or reworking this filter thing cause this could genuinely qualify for a false advertising lawsuit, or at the very least is a seriously dishonest and slimy way of going about an eshop.

Re: Nintendo Lawyer Breaks Down What Makes An Emulator Illegal

@Lofoten one is not entitled to sell retro games for the price of a ps5 and a new car combined either😃 ESPECIALLY in this modern climate where everything is a billion dollars now and the rich oafs in charge wanna gorge us for our money at every given chance there is NO reason I should give someone 500$ for a Super Nintendo game nowadays.

Re: Rumour: Switch Virtual Console Was Apparently Nintendo's "Original Plan"

PinballBuzzbro

i wouldnt even hate nso sm if nintendo just actually updated their libraries instead of leaving them to collect dust for 2 years before randomly dropping 2 games and leaving, and don't pull that "oh its licensing cost issues!!!!" excuse on me either, nintendo is at their absolute richest and they were able to get massive libraries for vc back in THE 2000's with no problem. there is no excuse for this dripfeeding.

Re: Review: Lollipop Chainsaw RePOP (Switch) - This Choppy Remaster Of A Cult Gem Doesn't Bring Any Cheer

PinballBuzzbro

I'm so sick of this like at this point if you mess up a remaster of a game or something similar to the point it's genuinely worse than the original your team should face actual serious repercussions for it (unless it came about through crunch or exec interference obviously). Making an updated port of a game is one of the easiest things possible mesing it up is like flunking at a preschool art project like. how do you even do that.

Re: Team Ninja Gears Up For Its 30th Anniversary

PinballBuzzbro

Team Ninja has always kinda been the "kid who falls asleep standing up at baseball games while occasionally waking up and catching a ball" of these action game devs. When they make something good, they make something REALLY good, but most of the time they kinda just flounder their releases and pump out games that aren't GOD-AWFUL, but are moreso just really dissapointing and mediocre. Hopefully this time around they actually have something cool up their sleeves and not another ninja gaiden master collection lol, I sure do love psp versions that remove everything that made the game fun and put in weird creepy tit physic manipulation segments in that are so out of pocket the head behind the series has to be like "are the guys working on this ok?" instead:D!!1

Re: Nintendo's Punch-Out!! Series May Be Dead And Buried For Good

PinballBuzzbro

Why do people ALWAYS assume with stuff like this that just because theyve had stereotypes means they're just. dead. like they're gone forever theyre some cursed ancient eldritch mothdronaruian demon artifact you can't touch or else curse the human realm forever. Literally making a punch-out game without stereotypes is the easiest thing in the world, just lean into the absurdity with characters like Alice and Ape III and Mad Clown. It is such a non-issue that's insanely easy to fix and I can guarantee you that it sure ain't the reason Nintendo hasn't touched the franchise for so long, they embrace and flaunt mario enemies and baddies constantly and you could argue a lot of those goobers have the rubberhose donut lips initially popularized by menstrel shows and the like, but they still use them because it's literally a massive non issue that affects noone. The reason they likely haven't touched punch-out in so long is because they simply view it like F-Zero; a franchise they still value as part of their company, but don't see any reason to give it new entries as their other fighting style games like kirby clash, smash bros, and all the fist swinging boxing sport games are more popular. It's unfortunate, yes, but it's also just how companies work with their IPs. And it's not like Punch-Out is dead forever or smth, people were saying Metroid was dead for good during the 2010's, only for nintendo to pull the insane triple whammy with dread, prime remastered, and Prime 4 with Sylux as the main villain. I'm positive someday we'll see Punch-Out make a comeback, it's just Nintendo is more interested in doing other stuff currently. It's nothing deeper than that and it certainly isn't because of the wii game having the tamest stereotypes I've ever seen in a piece of media, that's for sure lol.

Also like. Come on now be FR. A drunk, now-long ex employee of the studio who made a wii game almost like 15 years ago now is never going to be a remotely reliable source, "My dad's friend worked as a janitor in George Lucas' mansion" level BS right there😂
