It's possible to have different tastes without excessively dumping on things others like.
I don't personally enjoy Fifa or GTA but I don't feel the need to declare them bad and point out I like something different.

Ah competitive Smash the small minority of Samsh players who insist they are responsible for the series success, are riddled with scandals some of which are very serious and who hate everything for not being melee. Cant imagine why control freak Nintendo wouldn't want them representing and assiciatted with their game which the creator never wanted to be a competitive one but a fun party game.

Ads a bit toothless and cringey compared to segas 90s efforts but the dog at the end screaming brings back memories of when their ads were cool and wacky

Being playing in handheld mode for few hours a day since launch. I wouldn't call it a polished graphical experience but I've barely experienced any glitches that seemingly make it unplayable. Got stuck on a platform once for 3 minutes before game coped it and moved me.

Sony truly only concerned for the good of the players just like they were when they were the only one of the big 3 that uped the price of their console. Who believes their whinging.

Emulators are fine if you use them for a game you own (morally you can argue for older games no longer available but that doesnt make it legal( , but lets not pretend everyone using them owns the game already or that nintendo have to be happy with either emulation and privacy of its games, none of the game companies are and of course they will do things to stop it, whether its a lost cause overall or not

Tired demo in handheld mode and worked really well for me. Was so surprised but I've no need of it as have it already on another console. Not a bad way to play if you have decent internet and no other option except price needs to be better.
I can buy it for half the price on other consoles

Yikes probably facing some cold Nights behind bars.

Nintendoland was great fun with mates and loved some of the one player games like ninja stars too

Technically it was a half translated version of the Japanese blue I think it was a friend had on a pc on an emulator about a year before the actual games arrived. He actual brought a full old school pc to my gaff to show me it. After that got both red and blue for Christmas once they released here. It was a long couple of months wait but worth it

Played since red and blue and only for stadiums alternative colours really

And i thought Metroids died from freezing, who have thought it saved them.

I have one I got it a few years ago, so these aren't new at all. it's nice but isn't really worth the price

People still on about the pro at this point. A switch "pro" as powerful as a ps5 yeah that's not an upgraded switch that's a completely different console that's backwards compatible with the Switch , which would be priced like a Ps5/xbox x/ steam deck . Would split switch games into regular switch ganes and only for New Switch labels. Be like that New 3ds only games confusion again . Any upgrade will be minor to keep current users onboard. Think its time we consider its successor in 2023/24 rather than an upgrade

Not surprising and I suspect Switch probably is the console with the lowest percentage if digital due to its success with younger audiences.
Its going to happen in a gen or two, most people i know have gone digital due to ease or lack of space. Happened to pc gaming years ago

The Xbox One did have likes of GTA,COD,Red dead and Fifa etc. But it was often bundled with one of these big games and was often much cheaper than buying the more popular PS4 so it was often the cheapest option in shops to just play these big "Serious Gaming " titles if not the most popular one.

From my own experience the UK and Irish Market (which im more familiar with but its very similar ) hasn't been particularly big into Nintendo home consoles apart from the wii ,since playstation 1 dominated the market in the N64 days Even before than mega drive seemed to be more popular than SNES. Xbox and Nintendo have markets and fans but Playstation is the default really for the majority and tends to get lions share of the shelf space. Its grip was only really seriously challenged when ps3 was way too expensive and xbox 360 gave it fierce competition.

It really needs to just release Gameboy and GBA titles already. Gamecube too. Like that's really what I'm dying to play rather than SNES games I've multiple ways to play already and N64 is good but well it never a deep catalogue

Another great october game, damn I'm only starting nier automata and persona 5s just arrived. Pokemon on horizon too.

She's really just shooting herself in the foot now. Like people calling her a liar well you definitely mislead people so yes it fits, big difference between 10k-15k to voice the entire game and 4k to voice "some lines" rather than 4k for whole game. Also how is it 450m franchise? Without merch (what like that one amiibo maybe a few figurines). Like entilted to a good wage but sorry the most important part of the game isn't the Voice work.

Theres a legit question here about how much VAs get paid and what should be the fair standard rate (the video game industry does need to reaccess things like developer pay too etc as its grown into a massive business in last few decades) but she handled the whole thing so poorly and unprofessionally. Seems she was offered the role at a rate she didn't like and refused it, thats entirely her right and shes entitled to set her own worth but doesnt mean the Company has to agree with it which in this case they clearly didn't.Attacking Hale which lead to her getting alot of online flak for simply accepting a job (i doubt she had an idea about Taylors reasons, as none of ud did til recently), calling for a Boycott and claiming no one else could voice the character was ridiculous. Like it's not her IP nor was she in contractual bound to play bayonetta, VAs change all the time as do actors.

She didnt accept their offer as was too low in her opinion. Fine she's allowed do that of course and set her price. Why should I boycott the game though?

Yeah I've it on N64 bought recently enough as its never been a pricey game or hard to find one for the n64 here, have on Xbox store since 360 days, its included also in rare replay and both are on gamepass to so can also stream on pc too no? So rather difficult, is a massive stretch here.

Chap is just iconic as Mario, i heae his Mario voice and thats a Mario . All other voices just feel like someone playing or attempting Mario. Like David Hayter as Solid Snake/big boss or Mark Hamils Joker nothing else feels quite the same.

Id love a massive klassic kollection release of 1,2,3 ,ultimate mk 3, trilogy, 4 & gold Mythlogies and shaolin monks, ,deadly alliance, deception a,armageddon and MK9. Throw in special forces even just for a laugh even.

I've worked contract placement through agencies in the past often for years.
Im not here to defend the practice in general at all but its common and its definitely a way to have you work somewhere but have less of well everything compared to a permanent full time employee of the company including job security.
But when you are on these temporary outsourced contracts etc why would you rock the boat like that by tweeting whatever and asking the head of it questions Its really just shooting yourself in the foot, if you are seen as a problem you won't be renewed when fixed terms passed. Thats just the way it is

Columbine happened and suddenly the media spot light was on violent video games as a potential cause. Putting your school chums faces into a shooting game went from a cool feature to a PR nightmare and presumably was dropped for that reason

Seeing how they would need to create a new transfer pak that works with switch it's expected. Like at least until switch has gb games available

Hasn't the ps5 just increased its price.

While I can see it being potentially delayed for that reason they predict a direct every month from about 3 months after the last one. If I said it will snow tomorrow every day I'll eventually be right. Broken clocks etc

I wish nintendo would release some kind of clip on second screen attachment for the switch to play Ds and 3DS games on. Even ds on wii u VC wasn't great

Necky the Fox watch put for Fox Die!

@BinaryMessiah Extactly. Like I was looking forward to that KOTR remake (which i think is in limbo now)because I didn't have a way to play it back in the day but heard so much about it. Bought it on switch but without the nostalgia and the memory muscle of how PC games in that genre of the time worked nd the time to invest in it really, I've not been really been able to get into it.

Remasters and remakes definitely have their place and purpose. That's not to say they don't sometimes over do them .
The Switch has 112 million units sold vs wiI u which had like 12 and gamecubes 22m.
So for many switch owners a remaster version will be their first go at Wind Waker, due to low sales of its previous consoles and paasage of time( the wii u release was almost a decade ago). You're really more likely to have bought/played it before if you're on this site than the average switch owner.

My younger relatives aren't interested in playing older games The graphics, controls and sometimes ive found they can't understand now archic game design and logic.
The remasters/remakes do make it more accessible to them in ways beyond its available to play on the platform.

It was handy for DS back in the day but its not needed with the Switch at all. I just put it in the Dock and it's not like we all have switches in our pockets like the ds. Prefer they work on other features instead.

When they aren't on sale all 3 of them bought separately are about 86 pounds. But you could shop arround physically and probably get them for same price or cheaper even. all being under 10 in multiple sales now on every platform and think mania was given away on psn plus at some point, makes it a crap deal and ulimate moniker without colours is just pants

Does anyone do the selects, platinum hits, best of etc series anymore. Aside from 3ds don't think I've seem one here in Europe since wii,ps3 and 360 days
Seems with the rise of digital store fronts Sony, MS don't bother to re release physical anymore.
On some of the heavily discounted physical games I've picked up since ps4 days. I've found them to be day one edition or limited first batch etc and it's years after launch. So I suspect big initial print runs witout them being reissued. Nintendo seem to have a steady stream of physical copies though for likes of mario kart,zelda,pokemon etc.

Nintendo has a strange relationship for sure with esports but then tere was the evo scandals and all thos competitive smash bros scandals . Why would they get involved It's not like they need to it to sell Smash or any of there games really.

Unboxed had them all boxed for ages but moved apartment twice and just took up way too much room to be any way practical. Also the big amiibo rush died down and pretty much any amiibo is available now. No more importing little Mac and trying to find a villager in new shipments. Now seems 80% of them are easily available at normal prices

Watching it and it's not good. Most of the time feels like a syfy channel generic low budget zombie show that's light on any scares big on bad dialogue and then when it references Resi stuff it's either cringey or just very out of place.

@themightyant still seems entirely unnecessary. I could easily fly through the opening chapters in a day.
Just will catch out a few last minute purchasers from buying the game and dlc.

Just doesn't interest me in the slightest dispite being big into star wars just zero excitement for this one.

Sony still killed the PSP store and i believe it will still kill ps3 and vita with its push for its new plus services.
Tbh Xbox really is the best at keeping its store going but never gets any recognition for it. I can play xbox or (most) 360 games i downloaded years ago on a series s/x no upgrade fee no subscription etc
Can I play my Ps3 games on ps4 or 5 nope subscription streaming only. (Technical issues I know but even ones I bought on ps3 that are on the streaming option, I can't stream without paying ps plus) ps plus is only now just slowly adding ps1 and ps2 games after a long absence

Very strange one this decision.

@Pally356 I think dlc is march here's the tweet-"
Sales of the game Fire Emblem Fates will end one month earlier, on 28/02/2023. DLC for Fire Emblem Fates, including story paths accessible after the completion of Chapter 6, will still be available until 27/03/2023."

Sales of fire emblem fate to end a month earlier for some reason strangely

Guessing this was planned I'm case of a massive outcry from public as a way of making the passing of the console torch easier and when it turned out n reality few people cared past a few mic on the street interviews they scrapped it. Once 16 bit came in most kids were done with 8bit.

Maybe you work on the game you are working on now and ensure its decent and people are looking forward to it rather than talking about whats next.
We got colours, origins recently and frontiers is next.
Sega should make sure Frontiers is good and release it when it's ready not rush to another game or release it buggy and unfinished because its Sonics birthday or whatever.

Ha just no, sorry we had a laugh at the poor animation and dialogue of those cut scenes, YouTube ran with it and it s an interesting story behind the non Nintendo zelda games and hotel mario game for the cdi but it's all just rubbish that should never darken the franchises door again.
Would just be a joke if she came back all people would want is to hear the same bad lines.
"It’s not affiliated with Nintendo" Well they kind of never were these games really

Love this game can't wait to play it again without connecting up older hardware. Plus portable will suit it btillantly
