@Kiyata The problem with that statement is that we're no longer in a genderlocked culture. So what a "girl game" is has no meaning these days. Even a lot of games real boomers would think are for girls are being aimed at guys these days and vice versa.
@MyMemory Yeah, the older heads are more traumatized by what happened to hollywood and don't want the same shielded incompetency to go to other hobbies they enjoy
Anybody who's been keeping up with the failures behind disney alone knows there's a lot of sexist spite coming from the women who lead there alone
As for Ms. Pritchard, I'm gonna be on wait and see. Satoru Shibata is also gonna be a CEO, so this might be a legit change of hands based on competency
Here's to hoping she doesn't further implement a draconian censorship policy. Nintendo is already doing questionable things with their approval process as of late.
As the brits of Nintendolife would probably put it
OH BUGGER OFF!!!
"Game Key Cards are also a measure "against illegal copying", as the data cannot be extracted from the cartridge and distributed online"
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna dump all of my switch games I downloaded online and have hackers do their thing.
lol
"Do you think a company that’s already made that much profit would do this just to make even more money"
yes. Absolutely yes. That's corporatism for ya.
@sixrings I mean, Sonic Colors Ultimate, for example, couldn't even run on the Switch and that was a Wii game.
So it's not always down to that. The real issue could be because of development bloat. A lot of these companies, especially ones in the west, have really poor management over their development.
@Markatron84 I'm a bit more of a stickler on that front tho. If a company does sell me something, but they sell it to me in a broken, incomplete mess that may have also been censored, I'm pirating with all of the fixes and content restored. I don't even care if it's a modern release. you don't treat your loyalists like that. Copyright and lost source code are the only areas I may be forgiving in
Well, this might be a way of bypassing china. I hear that even though the two lands are hostile towards each other, the citizens and products are still allowed to pass through without checks.
And considering that Hong Kong is 15 years away from being absorbed into china, this is probably a smart move
This is gonna be tricky. Because while some sanity effects can work just fine, others actively break the 4th wall, like that one that messes with your TV volume. How are you gonna pull that off and remain convincing?
There's this one game I've been meaning to take seriously called GalMetal, but the control scheme feels borked unless you magically have a drum controller that never existed. It's either crummy motion controls, or buttons that don't feel like drums
@Narrator1 It's funny, because the REAL series never died. It just moved onto the next iteration, and is still alive to this day.
But yeah, after its initial run, power rangers as an IP was struggling to not get channeled. Kids were not watching the newer ones. But the IP didn't get axed because of how cheap it was to produce in the west.
Power Rangers was always lame to me, even as a preschooler. I was into Jackie Chan movies at the time too (for reference), and they did give me a laugh while also being a bit cool, but the American high school melodrama of PW didn't do it for me
Maybe if I saw the Japanese versions of these with an English dub, I'd probably have a better opinion of them, considering how much I liked so far of Kamen Rider W.

Re: Feature: Get A Job - 30 Years On, Seiken Densetsu 3's Class System Is Still One Of The Best
I have the remake on Switch. probably gonna wait til having a switch 2 to give it another whirl due to having a 60fps cap
Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Will Run At A "Fixed" 30fps On Switch 2
@SuperBro64 I mean, we're talking about action games here. It's 60FPS or bust for games at this speed
Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins Will Run At A "Fixed" 30fps On Switch 2
I'd rather take the unstable 60. Would mean the game would get better with time. Just look at Switch games now
Re: Feature: Who Is Devon Pritchard? - Meet The Next NOA President Stepping Into Bowser's Boots
@CasualTalkRadio I have my doubts about that. She worked in legal, not creative, in america no less.
Making Zelda a more prominent character seems entirely an NoJ idea

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Director Highlights The Speed Problem With Switch 2 Game Cards
then install the mandatory data on the damn system before starting the main game!!!
You're dancing around the problem.
If Cyberpunk can work off a game card, why can't these games?!?!
Re: We're Not Getting A New Game, But 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy' Gets A Free Update
@dskatter If you already played through it many times and even picked up the most recent release years ago, changes are you already beat them already
Again, who is this appealing to?
Re: We're Not Getting A New Game, But 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy' Gets A Free Update
@dskatter Considering how story heavy this is, not exactly an ideal inclusion
Re: We're Not Getting A New Game, But 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy' Gets A Free Update
Ah yes, a mode to avoid playing the game....

Re: Sonic Adventure 2 'Live And Learn' Lawsuit Dismissed, Crush 40 Musician Issues Statement
@Erigen Even though he was regularly paid to make more sonic songs for an entire decade.
I really don't know what the heck is going on here...

Re: Newcomers Can Break Final Fantasy VII Remake With New Difficulty Settings
Lol. the people here claiming "accessibility" when disabled people just need a controller and imagery options made for them so they can play at all.
It's like they just gave up and are telling the player to optimize the fun in their game.....
What was the quote again? 👺

@Markatron84 I'm a bit more of a stickler on that front tho.

Re: Nintendo To Officially Launch eShop In Taiwan
Well, this might be a way of bypassing china. I hear that even though the two lands are hostile towards each other, the citizens and products are still allowed to pass through without checks.

Re: Sonic X Pac-Man Collabs Announced For Sonic Racing And Pac-Man World 2
I'll give this crossover something, at least they have a history together
Re: PSA: Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Open Network Test For Switch Announced
looks like we're gonna need a reminder for the public beta test. Definitely gonna test it on PC
Re: Review: CRKD x Gibson Guitar Controller For Switch + Switch 2 - Great Quality, At A Price
Sooooo.... no drum controller?

Re: "We Answer To Nobody But You, The Audience" - Digital Foundry Is Now Fully Independent

Hopefully the game can run at 60fps

Re: Octopath 0 Is A Game-Key Card On Switch 2, And Square Enix Has "No Plans" For A Switch 1 Upgrade Option
e-waste and a game that doesn't even need the switch 2 to work properly. What is the switch 2 version gonna do? Bump up the resolution? 🤣🤣🤣

Re: NIS America: Trails Beyond The Horizon Switch 2 Game-Key Card Release Is "Most Beneficial Option" For Fans

Re: Nintendo Still Doesn't Want You To Talk About The Switch Online Playtest Program
@MyMemory Sakurai is already dealing with his own company though
Re: Nintendo's Switch Online Playtest Program Returning, Includes Switch 2 Support
@LazyDaisy That's standard procedure though. Some ideas are good, but go through tweaks to test more interest.
Feedback is important after all, and can reshape the direction of a game
Re: Sonic Racing: Crossworlds On Switch 2 Will Feature The Full Base Game On Cartridge
I'd say "Day 1!" but I don't have a switch 2 yet. We also don't know what the price is suppose to be
