Re: Niantic CEO on the Near Future of Pokémon GO

RaizenPrime

When Pokemon Go first got started, it was hugely popular because it's Pokemon, and many other people got into it because they wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Afterwards, there was a huge dropoff because the game wasn't what so many people imagined. Those who really liked the game kept at it, and many of them still play, and other people have since joined them.

At some point in the future, those old players will return. When they do, they'll complain about the changes that have made the game better since they've left, and will bemoan the game being not the same as it used to be. And they'll claim to be the "real fans".

So yeah, Pokemon Go is going to have it's own bunch of genwunners to laugh at. Be ready for it!

Re: Review: Touhou Kobuto V: Burst Battle (Switch)

RaizenPrime

The vertical scrolling shooters are the main games in this series, and are the main reason why Touhou has so many fans. For the same money, a person could import Imperishable Night from Japan, instead of some fan game that somehow got a commercial release.

Re: Review: Pokémon Gold And Silver (3DS eShop / GBC)

RaizenPrime

Excellent games, overall. It just happens to be much easier than I remember. Trainers that gave me trouble before don't seem to stand much of a chance, anymore. There are pokemon choices that definitely give the advantage to players that know about them. Abra with the three elemental punches, anyone?

Re: Nintendo is Now 128 Years Old

RaizenPrime

My first experience with Nintendo was the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. It was my favorite show as a kid. Later, I got to play my first video game: Super Mario Bros. on NES.

We've come a long way since then, and that was only part of Nintendo's history.

Re: Toys 'R' Us Seeks Bankruptcy Protection in North America

RaizenPrime

Last time I visited Toys R Us, it upset me. They arranged the storefront so you'd have to walk through two long aisles of displays (separated by corners) packed with items that were clearly being marketed to you/your children, and things like Pokemon cards were much more expensive than at other places.

People are better able to realize that they are being marketed to than they were ten years ago, and we do become disgusted when such attempts are particularly shameless. Then we realize that it's our children that are being targeted, and we lose any patience we have left.

We don't really need Toys R Us. My question is, what are we going to do with all that parking space?

Re: Deals: Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games and Accessories for September and October

RaizenPrime

What I'm considering:
Axiom Verge: I already have it on Steam, and I think that Switch would be a great system for it.
Pokken Tournament: I liked the demo.
Super Mario Odyssey: Do I have to justify this? It's Mario.
Touhou Kobuto V: I liked Imperishable Night (which, yes, I did import). The genre looks different, but it's still nice to see a Touhou game on Switch. Anyone else remember Ikaruga?

"There's nothing to play" is no longer a reason not to own a Switch.

Re: Pokkén Tournament DX Demo Confirmed for the Switch eShop

RaizenPrime

This is a game I'm considering getting, and a demo might help me make my decision.

This early on in the Switch's life cycle, demos are a great way to get publicity for publishers that want to get their games out there. After all, there are still relatively few AAA titles for Switch, so gamers might want to try demos to hold them over, and perhaps discover a game that turns out to be their new favorite. It seemed to work for Disgaea 5 and Blaster Master Zero!

Re: The Sonic Mania Collector's Edition Statue Cuts Corners, But Can be Made Cooler

RaizenPrime

Engineers usually try to eliminate unnecessary components from something that's to be mass produced. Even though these LEDs are cheap, when millions of a piece of consumer electronics are to be produced, even a component costing only $0.05 can really add up.

Assuming that this was the cost of one of these LEDs, if only two million of these things are produced, that would easily pay an engineer's salary for about a year.

Re: Mutant Mudds Deluxe Is Nearing Release on the Switch

RaizenPrime

This was one of my favorite 3DS eShop indie games, so I'm liking that it's coming to another platform where it can be discovered by new players. I might actually get it again.

I liked the 3DS version so much, that I one-hundred-percented all three of its save files. It's that good.
