Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Maddening Stance On Retro Gaming Is Driving Me To Piracy

SnackBox

People seem to be really picky about a company's own property. "If you don't give us what we want we'll just pirate it."

Coupled with the fact that they protect their ip by releasing on their terms in their ways either to help market something or new ideas.
You think snes mini would have been as successful if the entire snes library was available on switch?

It's a privelage we get to play these games in the first place. It's not our place to negotiate as consumers and essentially blackmail them. We can voice our unhappiness with this or celebrate it. But threatening a business with illegal activity is not the strongest case, just because it's easy to do doesn't mean we should resort to it instead.

Re: Feature: 20 Games That Aren't On The SNES Classic Mini, But Really Should Be

I don't even know more than half of these games so not really missing them.
I reckon what they have is balanced out well. You add in Chrono Trigger that may make too many RPGs at once. People should be content with 'the other best rpg of all time'

If I could add any in it would be amazing if we got a translation of one the Fire Emblem games for it though.
-Legend of the Mystical Ninja
-Micro Machines
-Zombies at my Neighbors
-Earthworm Jim

Re: Oddworld Creator Lorne Lanning "Has No Faith" In Switch

I believe not from a business stand point that Nintendo aims to do what the rest can't. If they were a carbon copy of Sony and Microsoft then the gaming world would be very different, not trying to downplay the two at all but we all know how different Nintendo is. Sometimes it doesn't work but sometimes it does and the fact that millions can enjoy that which Nintendo brings is truly amazing.

Re: Guide: Starting the Battle in Fire Emblem Heroes

SnackBox

Saw another guide that said not to link your account with My Nintendo as one of the most important steps. You can then restart your game albeit by reinstalling and re-rolling to get the best heroes with Orbs. i myself learnt about this too late but a handy tip nonetheless.

Re: Poll: What Did You Think of the Nintendo Switch Presentation?

SnackBox

That whole video they thought it would be funny to joke about a release date for Zelda and keep everyone on edge
....No
This was supposed to win over everyone as a new peice of technology. Show what's to come and give us all an incentive to buy at launch, yes it has Zelda which is great but what about other people that are to make the switch over to this console that aren't quite sold on Zelda what else do they have?

Everything else I am so excited for beyond words but it needs the Launch line up secured before it starts getting ahead of itself with release dates down the line.
