Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Needs to Learn Lessons From Its NES Mini Mistakes

@Wandman5612. There were like 800 games for the system not just 30. Solution: Put more games than the mini offers on the VC.
They cant get all of them but they could at least get enough for the mini to not be a switch VC killer.
I cant see the Mini as a Switch VC killer at all really. Here they take a bigger chunk of money up front rather than hope you buy 60 bucks worth of VC games.

@PanurgeJr
" And be aware that when you defend Sliggy and his negativity that it includes believing that owning a Wii U is like being the victim of domestic violence."
"No, it's a comparison he once enthusiastically accepted. Of course he claimed he didn't actually believe it, that it was just an analogy, and that I should lighten up. What do you think? Should people lighten up when others joke about domestic violence?"

Hey now, I don't even own a WiiU.

Re: Nintendo Has Discontinued The NES Classic Edition in North America

Point #1
Scalpers for the win. I must remember to become a scalper next time.
2. Anyone fearing it was because of hacking might not be correct because if you have the games to put on it you were playing them already anyhow some other way. So what would change?
3. Although the argument that it is disc because VC is coming makes complete sense, that is the reason I can't believe that.
This just sucks. I only wanted the controller anyway. There isnt any reason to not keep making the controller.

Re: Video: Blaster Master Zero and Its Loving Tribute to the NES Original

Priceless_Spork

Yeah I love it. I was way more interested in this than Zelda but that's just what kind of gamer I am. I can play all the classics if I want because I have them already. What I want now is to see more modern remakes (never thought I'd say that) like this and the Wonder Boy game and I will buy them immediately. This is a better game than the Wii Blastermaster I think because it looks original 8 bit. These moden retro games can be so awesome. One day I want an in depth modern day retro sports game(s). i.e. Blades of Steel with modern roster, line changes, better looking fighting, season mode etc.

Re: Here's Why Nintendo Switch Games Cost More Than Those For Other Consoles

Priceless_Spork

Im no math guy but I dont think the logic adds up. If it costs to make physical, (I think it costs a fraction of $60 to make a physical copy) and there are no physical or distribution costs with digital, (almost pure profit), then the profit from the digital should offset the physical costs and drive the price down for both of them. That's assuming you must keep the physical and digital the same price. But the cost is high on both which makes no sense to me.

Re: Review: Othello (Switch eShop)

Priceless_Spork

If you're going to make a board game for something like the switch, at least give us about 10 other boardgames with it.
I absolutely suck at othello but it's kinda fun, but that's it for this powerful system?
I don't know any game that starts with the black pieces.

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th March (Europe)

Pink Dot Blue Dot is a radical departure from the previous title, White Square Black Square. However, where White Square Black Square highlighted racial division, the new Pink Dot Blue Dot tackles gender inequality and is a bold move for the e-shop.
