Absolute nonsense about N64 games potentially having a higher priced tier. There aren't even that many! Maybe if it were gamecube games too I could see that but no way just for N64. Particularly as Super Mario 64 is already available.
@Markiemania95 weh. I actually regret buying games physically. I bought a 1TB SD card and ended up repurchasing most of my games for the convenience. It's just so much easier having all your games on the device
I wonder how many people forget that you can get all new Nintendo releases for £42 with a Nintendo subscription. Caveat being you're forced to buy two games at once. Still worth it most of the time though. But don't get games that are less than £42 like WarioWare
@Snatcher for sure hopefully more attention is brought to it and there can be some form of justice. We shouldn't need to wait for people to die to be held accountable for crimes like this
@Snatcher you say people should have made a bigger deal about it back when and you're right, and they didn't because Nickelodeon kept it a secret and it only recently came out, like in the last couple of years... when the victims grew up and spoke about it themselves, so... it's actually kind of fresh. So yeah we can be mad at Nickelodeon. Who are the ones still making money from it... and who are the ones who allowed it to take place. I don't know why more people aren't angry about it.
@Snatcher Is it the same company who made the kart racing game? Because they were in that too... trust me, Nickelodeon had a say. There would have been a back and forth to make sure Ren and Stimpy looked to their specifications.
@Snatcher just not include them in the first place! This is a brand new game. And no, I entirely expected the greed. I just want them to be held accountable. Only we can say it's not okay.
@victordamazio true but Nickelodeon hold some responsibility for allowing this to happen under their roof and continuing to make money from it. They provided a safe space where he could carry out his perverse predatory actions... they introduced him to his victims!
@KingMike his excuse was disgusting. Nick never made a statement about it and instead are just like "hey look, Ren and Stimpy are back in new kids games whee!!". Like... Nick allowed fans to get close to him! It was under their roof! They are as much responsible and yet no one talks about it
@Snatcher I get that people like them... but Ren and Stimpy ARE John K. He even voiced Ren for the first two seasons. And then went on to make that adult version... how is that... how are 90s characters even appropriate for a kids game? If we just let this slide then his victims will never receive justice. Like he literally just said sorry and blamed it on ADHD... that's insane... he's a sexual predator! He should be jailed! He shouldn't continue to receive royalties because Nickelodeon are greedy sonsabiches who just don't care! People have been cancelled for far lesser offences. Joss Whedon was cancelled simply for being a bit of a jerk. And yet this guy gets off scott free because people don't want their childhood to be tainted. I'm sorry but it just makes me so angry. It shouldn't be defended. If people want to play a game with Ren and Stimpy then play a SNES emulator. It's 2021, it's been 30 years. They don't NEED to be in new kids games. Simple as that
It bothers me so much that in this age of cancel culture, no one is cancelling these Nickelodeon games with Ren and Stimpy. Look, I get it, it was a great show way back when. But we now know the creator was a paedo, he literally admitted he had a relationship with a 16 year old fan. Is this appropriate for our kids to be playing? Who exactly are these games aimed at? It's literally just greed. Putting in characters just because they can... it honestly makes me sick that no one is talking about this and everyone is just like "cool, Ren and Stimpy, I used to love that show". Like... Nickelodeon are trying to keep it a secret, so they can just make more money. It's gross
@Finntendo64 I forgot about that one but I meant Mario platformers really. I was also exaggerating for dramatic effect haha. I just can't see there being enough games for the NSO service.
@Thesharkfromjaws there aren't really that many first party GBA games. All the Mario games were ports. Zelda was developed by Capcom. It really would just be good for Metroid Fusion
@ShadowWeaver421 I wouldn't count on the Pokemon games appearing on the service. I mean, it's possible but I can see them being somewhat problematic. I'm excited for the Wario Land games though!
Looks like it will be worth the wait! Recent Lego games (Lego Marvel 2) were very clearly rushed out! Lego DC Villains showed what the company can really accomplish given time
It is so weird to me that reviews are claiming flawless 60fps. Especially when the developer even acknowledged the (very minor) problem and said a patch is coming. Don't get me wrong, it really is subtle, some slight stuttering here and there. But it's not flawless
@Splodge I had the impression (rightfully or wrongfully) that the passion was kind of fake. He doesn't strike me as particularly genuine and he was taking credit for the whole thing from the start, I remember cringing when I first heard him talk about the show, he acted like he owned Castlevania! I don't know how many people slaved over this series but I know it wasn't just him.
Anyone could sue for not being involved in the spin off... voice actors, animators, it's a dumb reason to sue and he has no leg to stand on. It's an entirely different show. A spin off is an opportunity to get new eyes on a project. By doing this he's going to push himself out.
I don't know... the whole thing is ridiculous to me. For example, Dave Bautista has more of a reason to sue for not being asked to voice Drax in the new MCU What If series, and that's not even technically a spin off. But even he knows it's a completely dumb reason to sue. I feel like Adi's only reason for doing this is because he thinks fans will have his back... and I don't know, maybe they will? But he always struck me as being a bit narcissistic and he may over time find out the hard way that he doesn't have the following he thinks he deserves
Just found out MachineGames released a mission pack in 2016, huh! Never realised that! More signs pointing to a port then with mod support like the Doom re-releases. So excited to play this game again!
@HefHughner I hope they got the rights! Though honestly, I played this game so much without CD audio. Heck sometimes I'd just pop in the Monkey Island soundtrack for a bit of fun instead. I loved how it worked with other CDs
The fact it mentions scorpions which appeared only in the quake mission pack leads me to believe this will be a port rather than a full fledged remaster. Either way I am very excited to have the OG Quake return!
You know what would be cooler? If they just added the original Space Invaders to Forever as DLC rather than have people spend double the price for a bunch of stuff they don't want
I had the same feeling about the special shots in ranked. Until I realised some characters special shots benefit from hitting first. Like Luigi's ice special which will make other golf balls bounce off after it's hit, not actually knocking balls away when it hits. Or I can't remember which character but one hides where the flag is on the power meter. This would also be a character who benefits from going first to mess up other players.
So yeah, it's actually only an issue where you wait for each other's characters if you're all being characters with the same offensive special shot. I've yet to fully understand each character's specials but yeah, not as simple as it first may seem. There's a rock paper scissors type thing going on
Ridiculous, if they charged only $10 more no one would buy the OG model which would effectively make that one not profitable. It's a lot more complicated than the OLED model simply costing $10 more to make and so should cost $10 more. Heck there may even be more scarcity in parts for the OLED model. Not to mention the cost that goes into marketing and packaging and all that. And inflation. Like... come on, why do the media try to make things into a big deal. It's $50 more because that's how they've valued it based on EVERYTHING. Deal with it
There is a complete lack of information in this review and I think it deserves a second look. The reviewer does not seem to be aware that the "elf hair" and "vessel flute" are Link's hair and ocarina. There is also no mention of the exclusive area that having this pack gets you to. And as for the 30fps mode being worse? Well that is simply not true. The game looks VERY ugly and blurry in 60fps. Poor review, I give the review a 6/10 and I give this game a 9/10 pushing on 10/10. This game is HUGE for a free game and I think everyone should give it a try. It is beautiful and won awards for a reason
