Re: The Legend Of Zelda Movie Is Now "In Production" In New Zealand

Serpenterror

My hope for this movie will be very exciting. Also they are filming this in beautiful New Zealand where the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Chronicles of Narnia trilogy took place. Expect to see some familiar locations in this despite the edit they will try of changing it. I'm also planning to take a trip there next year with the folks.

Square Enix Aims To Automate 70% Of QA With Generative AI By 2027

Translation: They gonna go all lazy by that time. Won't be surprise if all their games are AI automated too. This is why Final Fantasy will never be good anymore or ever cause soon they gonna use ChatGPT to handle the story of their RPGs instead of a human like Hironobu Sakaguchi.

Re: The Atari 50 Pac-Man Expansion Launches On Switch Next Week

Serpenterror

Huh I was wondering why I couldn't download the expansion even though it already appeared inside the collection yesterday. Hopefully they include more Atari Jaguar games and eventually add some Intellivision games in there too. C'mon Atari where's my Aliens vs. Predator, Kasumi Ninja, White Women Can't Jump, Ultra Vortex, Iron Soldier 1 & 2, Super Burnout, and Defender 2000?

Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists

Serpenterror

@dskatter Yes and just cause you like that garbage doesn't it isn't. Nintendo had one job to make the Switch 2 something special and they screw it up which is why I say I what I say. You can polish something but if it's garbage, doesn't matter how much you polish it, it's still garbage. All they had to do with the Switch 2 is to make it more powerful than the Nintendo Switch 1, that's all they had to do, they don't have to do anything else and what did they do? They do something stupid that makes games not feel like games anymore which is why I say the Switch 2 is garbage, if the games are not games anymore. At this point it's no different from buying a bootleg games when the official ones feel like fakes.

Re: Supply Of Switch Hardware Will Continue If Enough Demand Persists

Serpenterror

Nintendo knew that if they end support for Switch 1, then they will have no other platform to fall back on if whenever the garbage that was the Switch 2 failed. Remember there's no Game Boy, there's no DS, and there's no 3DS to save their console's skin anymore. They only had the hybrid market now, if that failed then they are done so they'll have to keep the Switch 1 around for longer just in case if the Switch 2 is losing steam. They may as well use Sony's strategy going forward, keep the Switch 1 around and launch the Switch 2, then in five years when the Switch 2 is successful, killed the Switch 1 and announce the Switch 3. Then when the Switch 3 launch keep the Switch 2 on the market for five more years until the Switch 4 is announce and the Switch 3 become successful. Rinse and and repeat until they decided to make something new again.

Switch 2 Has The Largest Third-Party Software Lineup Ever For New Nintendo Hardware

While that's a cool lineup, it's too bad 90% of those 3rd party titles are either fake games or are going to be fake games. At that rate it may as well not have any. I had no problem with third party titles coming to Switch 2 but the fact that most are games that aren't even real physically just goes to show that this is all just quantity and not quality. Nintendo has always had issue with getting third party titles and going the fake game route is the worst of them all. Maybe next gen all we get for physical is a QR code that just remotely play the game, that would be the worst of the worst. At that point may as well not make any consoles either.

Re: Sega Provides Updated Sales Figures For Sonic Frontiers And Sonic Superstars

Serpenterror

Sonic Frontier was okay, Superstars was kinda iffy with the mix of 2D gameplay with 3D graphics thing and the constant use of classic Sonic and his classic friends just doesn't work nowdays. Sega should just remake all the older Sonic games (such as Sonic Advance 1, 2, and 3, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic Rush 1 & 2, Sonic 1, 2, Chaos, Triple Troubles, Blast, etc.) while also working on some new ones such as Sonic Adventure 3, Sonic the Hedgehog 5, Sonic Unleashed 2, Sonic Colors 2, Sonic Lost World 2, Sonic Advance 4, Sonic Drift 3, Sonic DVD and Sonic Blu-Ray (sequels to Sonic CD), Sonic R2, Super Sonic the Fighters II Turbo, Sonic Rush 3, Sonic Chaos 2, Sonic Battle 2, Sonic Pocket Adventure 2, Sonic Triple Trouble 3, Sonic Blast 2, Sonic Chronicles 2, and Sonic Heroes 2 .

Re: Microsoft On Its Gaming Business Going Forward: "We Want To Be Everywhere"

Serpenterror

At this point Microsoft are not going the way of Sega, nope not even close. Instead they are going the way of NeoGeo. Like NeoGeo they had the most expensive hardware and they not only make games for that expensive hardware but also porting those games to other competitor's hardware too. Also like NeoGeo which is giving gamer arcade accurate gaming at home, Microsoft is giving PC accurate gaming at home. The similarity is obvious now.

Re: Shigeru Miyamoto Is Confident Mario Will Be Around For "A Long Time To Come"

Serpenterror

The real truth is that will future Mario games still retain its quality even after Shigeru Miyamoto retired? If there's any time for Miyamoto-san to seek a protégé to handle the Super Mario series going forward, now is the time. I know Keiji Aonuma took over the Legend of Zelda series and Yoshio Sakamoto took over Metroid for Gunpei Yokoi but we still need someone to take over the Super Mario series for Miyamoto once he decided to retire for good.

Re: Japanese Charts: Surprise, Surprise, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaves The Competition In The Dust

Serpenterror

@itsapossum I don't think Palworld give a crap about you either once they trick you into their world. The difference between Palworld and Pokémon is that Pokémon knows to redeem themselves if they ever done you wrong, Palworld may succeed right now but once they screw you too, then they screw you permanently. You won't ever get back what you lost once that happen.

Re: Japanese Charts: Surprise, Surprise, Pokémon Legends: Z-A Leaves The Competition In The Dust

Serpenterror

Nice to see Nintendo is winning again this week. I had to say Nintendo got their holiday stuff all warm up and ready to go ahead of everyone else this year. It's looking like Switch and Switch 2 holiday is going to be a big win for the House of Mario again. Everything that needs to be ready for the Black Friday and Christmas holiday are already at store shelves right now: Switch 1 & 2 consoles, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, the Super Mario Galaxy Collection, Donkey Kong Bananza, Pikmin 4, soon to release Kirby's Air Rider and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond, Fire Emblem Engage, Mario Kart World and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Complete, Xenoblade Chronicles X, and all the Switch 1 ports of games.

Re: Dragon Quest VII: Reimagined Producer Reckons We're Ready For Its Dark, Sorrowful Story

Serpenterror

@Duncanballs They aren't a scam but they are a scummy move cause they are ruining a tradition that doesn't need to be fix. They allow developer to choose whether to give consumer a product or a counterfeit and most often than not the dev would likely choose the counterfeit cause fake is always cheap. The problem is the fake value doesn't apply to the actual customers, instead the customer still gets the fake product but not the value price in which that fake is apply to. I would understand if they only use game key card for just demo and prototype so gamers could try the game before buying the actual one but to put full games on it just doesn't add up and feels scummy at best. Nintendo's goodwill die after the Switch. Switch 2 going forward is just nothing but greed cause everything from there on will just be smoke and mirror and nothing more.
