I heard the PC remaster was terrible. Low expectations with this one.

Do you mean you wrote the “foreword”?

Hope you spell-checked it.

(Just jokes, my friend)

So, his solution to improve the eShop is to have it push (or “recommend”, I should say) games to me that it wants me to buy? Using algorithms trying to interpret my taste? Like every other annoying, intrusive and bloated digital storefront?

Yeah, thanks but no thanks.

I don’t need any company trying to steer me to what I want. I’m not an imbecile. I know what I want, mate.

If you want your game to be discovered organically, then at your next design meeting, examine how you came to make a “video game” about “a rude bouncer sim about brexit”. Start with that and go from there.

It’s not hard.

I didn’t believe the drift thing was a widespread problem until it started gradually occurring for me a few months ago and increasingly got worse.

It has got to the point where I can only play my Switch in docked mode with a Switch Pro Controller. Playing in handheld mode with the Joy-con is impossible. It is incredibly frustrating.

I was going to send them to Nintendo for a fix, but the Australian service centre was shut down due to Covid-19. So, I either buy a new Joy-con set for $119 or wait.

Sad times.

You’d have to be a massive douche to think that Nintendo copied your hobby mod.

Is this an all new game or a port of Super Turrican: Director’s Cut that came installed on every Analogue Super NT?

The wording of the article doesn’t specify.

12/15. I liked this one.

One of the first things that popped in my head when I saw the Switch was “CAN’T WAIT FOR PORTABLE PES!!”.

Still waiting.

That commercial didn’t feel very Nintendo to me. It instead felt like an ad from a faceless and soulless millenial-run startup company staffed and influenced mostly by people under 25 years old. The Nintendo magic just wasn’t there.

A portend of things to come?

This is a sad day.

BRING BACK SPACEWORLD!

King of Kong 2, coming to a cinema near you.

@theberrage Pro controller worked fine for me too.

@Crockin You are being knowingly disingenuous. He was not caught with child pornography. Making such a claim in these circumstances is disgusting.

@Crockin If he stole it, he’d be in jail. As far as I’m aware, he broke no U.S. laws. If he did, I’m open to reading about it. Can you provide a link? He might have been involved in some shady practices, maybe, maybe not, but point me to a big business person who isn’t.

@Crockin Being wealthy is not a crime.

@nimnio You’re not missing anything, you’ve just met members of the “accusations are evidence” club.

They never seem to think about what it’s like being on the other end of these type of accusations.

People are losing their humanity.

@JimmySpades Since you like to talk about “bad faith”, I am sure you are happy to show everyone where I said their is “no proof”.

We’ll wait.

@TG16_IS_BAE Don’t take everything you read on an internet comments section as straight up gospel.

Randy Pitchford was ACCUSED of these things by a disgruntled ex-friend and business associate. He was never prosecuted for any of it which is enough to put some doubts on the accusations.

The last thing the world needs is more trial by internet mob based on comments without seeing the evidence.

Not saying he is a good or bad person, but the outrage mob cowboys condemning someone from their computer desk without seeing the proof are far worse in my opinion.

I somehow never managed to play this after all these years. Never been a better time than now and on the Switch. I just need to get my joy con drift issue fixed so I can use gyro aiming. Has Nintendo reopened their service centres yet?

I surprised myself. 12 out of 15. Should have been 13 out of 15, but I doubted myself and changed one of my answers from a correct answer to an incorrect one.

These quiz’s are quite fun.

I wonder if this has game-breaking bugs like the PC version? My PC version of 2 had a crashing bug at the same point in the game. It made completing the game impossible. It was also never fixed with a patch to the best of my knowledge.

I’m really curious to know because I would like this on Switch, but I’m not getting burnt again.

@Damo Slow news day?

An option to filter out the 2 hour indie games with horrible artwork would be a great and consumer-friendly move.

You could fit the entire romsets of N64, NES, SNES, GB, GBC, VB, MS, MD, TG16 and more if you’re bored.

Ta DA!

Give me a job now. K thanks.

...and so, the *****-stainer become head of RARE product management after the Microsoft acquisition...

It is known.

@DockEllisD Lol. You beat me to it!

This is too good to be true...surely?

@617Sqn I just loaded it up and started the game and it has Save and Load in the pause menu immediately, so I assume so.

@LavaTwilight An internet containment zone.

I can’t believe this article tries to portray this act as harmless and even noble. This was a ridiculous and stupid thing to do by a weirdo with too much time on his hands that could very well hurt the livelihood of people that worked on the game. Pure and simple.

Him being a ResetEra member is just icing on the cake.

This was always going to fail. Too much pretension, not enough talent. Should have been called “When the Water Tastes Like Affectation”.

BALDUR’S GATE!!

I finally played through BG1 a couple of years ago on PC and was looking forward to importing my character into BG2. Now, I have a dilemma. A game like this is perfect on Switch imo, but, I’ll have to play the first game over again on the Switch in order to transfer my characters into BG2 for Switch. Boo. I wish there was some magic PC to Switch save transfer.

Actually, I’m pretty sure a dev just announced that another game would have that feature.

@Coach_A Last time I checked, he was averaging about 2-3 reviews a week. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was even more now.

Not sure how anyone could play a game thoroughly, digest it and write up and edit a review at that rate.

Makes you think.

@Silly_G Yeah, I’ve known about Vooks for years but never regularly visited. Not sure why. I think in the past the website wasn’t very user-friendly.

They don’t seem to do a comprehensive realease and sales list like NintendoLife does either.

Any chance you can start including Australian pricing with these Euro release lists? I assume the Euro list is the same as the Aussie one since Nintendo class them as the same region for the Switch in terms of release dates and sales.

Just a thought.

@rorosprite Not sure about UK, but in Australia you can purchase it from the US eShop with an US eShop points card. Paypal doesn’t work.

I assume it’s the same in UK.

Bought. Thanks for the heads up!

@TechaNinja yeah man. Born and bred.

EDIT: I’m calling the role of Sub Zero when they do auditions. You can have Scorpion.

@TechaNinja likewise, lol.

One of the few series I buy day 1 and sight unseen. I know exactly what I’m getting. I love Picross.

I like the rule change.

BASEBALL STARS 2

Finally!

Did the EB employees try to get them to preorder some games?

@Retron This is crap. WE ARE PEOPLE TOO NINTENDO!

therearedozensofus.gif

Lol.

@electrolite77 I can understand the cartridge size problem, but “challenge of the conversion” doesn’t wash. GTA V played fine on Xbox 360. I can’t see the Switch struggling to run it.

The first Mafia on PC.

“Over on ResetEra...”

Lol.

System Shock 2

I’m playing Portal 2 on PC this weekend. It’s fun.
