@Aerona optimism is all I have in this economy when my wallet has been sucked dry.

@Truegamer79 I for one hope the price go lower with the rise of AI. It is a necessary evil that will cut out a lot of dev cost in the future which hopefully, will also reduce the price along the way.

Let’s face it, the real reason is because of Wii U.

For the people wondering, the purple visor is seen throughout the trailer and on the new box art due to her new psychic abilities. I do believe this is Samus because 1) at the middle forehead of her helmet, it sports a small piece that falls in line with her newest Varia suit design similar to the Lamont head to use psychic. 2) It falls in line with Metroid Prime tradition to have Samus in a new suit with OG being Phazon, Echoes with Light and Dark, Corruption with the PED suit and now this Lamorn inspired suit. 3) The way Samus steps out of the contraption looks like she just got a new power up.

Dear Nintendo, please make a mobile phone, I would swap out my current phone just for a Nintendo mobile phone.

Here we go again…

Pokemon Sapphire alternate title, Pokemon We Need More Water.

Pokemon Ruby alternate title, Pokemon We Need Land in this Water.

Pokemon Emerald: Too much water, we chillin in the sky.

Ackshually, the official term for starter pokemon is first partner pokemon.

The meta Ridley F4F is actually pretty old at this point. We’ve had Samus Helmet and a PVC figure of Samus in Prime 2 suit ever since then.

The movement options of this platformer looks amazing, its so unique but yet ties in with the character so well being tricks on his Yo-yo.

@Benderv2 i agree it sucks that Nintendo isn’t making it more available and while pirating won’t hurt obscure games that will never see re-release ever again, it may potentially hurt games that may actually hurt the more popular titles like Mario and Zelda on the GameCube and Wii.

Here’s the thing, companies will always want you to buy their games and emulators are allowing an alternate but illegal option to get the game. As long as the majority don’t pirate, it’s not an issue but companies want 100% purchase rate and 0% piracy. It’s unrealistic but it’s what they want and honestly, can you blame them? If it’s your game, wouldn’t you want to have your game purchased instead pirated.

Fact is majority of the people who’s looking for emulators are trying to use it for pirating games.

@KingMike ahh falling to using insults just to try to prove a point much like a child who’s unable to hold a sensible debate, very nice 👍

@KingMike so does a bong to smoke weed, it has many uses and it isn’t illegal to own a bong but 99% of bong owners are sure as hell going to use it for smoking weeds. Same with an emulator, it can be used for other applications but it sure as hell will have 99% of the users using it to pirate games. Let’s not kid ourselves into thinking the devs of Dolphin Emulator wouldn’t know what their users are really using Dolphin for, this is why they tried to ship the product with the Wii’s cryptographic key.

People saying Nintendo are the bad guys needs to understand that in the end of the day, it’s Nintendo’s product and they have all legal rights to protect it and prevent other people misusing their products. If I am Nintendo and people are selling things that are designed to pirate the things I put my money and effort to make, I sure as hell will be mad as well.

“Oh but Dolphin Emulator can be used for something else! It doesn’t specifically say it’s used for pirating Nintendo games!” Really? You really think people are getting the dolphin emulator for some noble cause like playing some home made indie game? You and I both know people are getting that emulator so they can play pirates GameCube and Wii games.

“If Nintendo doesn’t want us to pirate their games, they should release it!” Yes! It sucks and Nintendo sucks for making their games so hard to get access to but that doesn’t make what Dolphin is doing right, two wrongs don’t make a right.

“Nintendo you liar, how does downloading chibi robo will ultimately result in the quote Using illegal emulators or illegal copies of games harms development and ultimately stifles innovation?”, last time I checked, companies need money to make video games, guess how they make such profit? By making you buy a game rather than pirating. Most pirates aren’t pirating Chibi Robo only if they decide to pirate the game, they’ll be pirating other games and eventually theyll be pirating Metroid Prime and Zelda WW and look at that, they happen to be on the switch. Say if you do only pirate Chibi Robo, that’s still a game you pirated which then begs the question of why Nintendo would re-release it in the future for the 5 people who wants it if the 5 people already pirated the game.

Nintendo does a lot of stupid things but protecting their IPs is not stupid or scummy.

Do people still think Keiji Inafune is a name that will get people to buy games? the whole Mighty No.9 > Red Ash incident proved how predatory he is and that he just focused more on merchandising over creating a good game.

Very impressive with her voice range and how she covered so many characters! Now watch her payment to be 1% of what Chris Pratt got.

That’s not even a proper apology, it’s just him shifting the blame back to the people saying that we “misinterpret” what he said and that he is sorry that we do not have the IQ to understand what he said.

This game looks graphically stunning.

On the one hand, $4000USD for what is very likely a few hours or days job at most seem very worth it but on the other hand, they are seriously underpaid when compared to celebrity “voice actors” who probably get hundred thousands if not millions to just lend their ***** voice.

Imagine the perfect moment to show off anything special with the voice acting at the end bit with Mario’s iconic phrase of “Here we go!” But Chris said it in the most boring, sleep inducing voice and also saying, “Here we come…” instead.

The other voices are good though, Jack Black impressed me, I thought he was just going to be like Chris Pratt and use his normal voice as that’s usually what “celebrity voice actors” do.

In an alternate reality where the title for this article didn’t mention Dread, I can guarantee all the people right now would not say it’s copying Dread.

@Gravitron before 2015, Bamco had a patent for loading screen minigames so no one is allowed to do it but then unless they want to pay a hefty fee.

Post 2015, I’m not sure why.

Comment Section here did not let me down, this article made me question humanity's IQ for a split second but thank god its just Twitter and the author of this article.

Broken limb ailment actually sounds dope for a mechanic especially when the game have a large focus on climbing.

Can we all just appreciate how chad Buzzswole is with his dunk animation.

Kaljus and an Ultra Man like character with PlatinumGame’s battle mechanics? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

@Damo don’t feel too bad, initially there was a price difference but Later on, they seem to have made it the same price but having said that, the regular edition are all sold out while the Exclusive Edition is still purchasable.

If have to guess, exclusive was too expensive for too many people so they all bought the regular and now they have too many exclusive sitting in the shelves and so they dropped the price to try to get rid of them.

While in hindsight, WW current art style is definitely the way to go and not make the game look like a dated piece of hot mess. I think we can all confidently agree that if WW had more realistic graphics at the time, GameCube would’ve sold a lot better.

Any Warriors game is a bad warriors game. Then we'll have some people who retorts that Fire Emblem Warriors and Hyrule Warriors are fun. No, they are not, you only think it's fun because it features a coat of paint that you like, you dont actually like the game, you just like the core franchise its based around.

I really like Bongo Bongo’s art. It replaced another big eye on a Zelda boss with its spine instead.

I don’t know did they do it on purpose or what but there looks like a very jarring stutter on the animation that makes this looks very off putting and very budget like.

Metroid Figma didn’t disappoint for the last three edition so I’m expecting this to be high quality as well.

What is considered conventional isnt always the best for others. A good example would be Katie Ledecky who is a phenomenal swimmer using an unconventional freestyle technique but if Ledecky was a fictional character, we'd have pros blasting on how bad her techniques will be.

@JakedaArbok there are so many ways to reach fast speed and quite a few different paths to take to end the level which is like traditional sonic. Even the naturally fast moments in the game as well like the auto runner sections which are a thrill because it’s more about dodging obstacles than “gotta go fast”.

Unpopular Opinion but Lost World is actually one of the best Sonic games but the Parkour mechanics was too hard for your average player to master so therefore the game bombed.

Nintendo is taking down fan content, this means BOTW2 is likely coming out soon! This happened with when AM2R got taken out with a few months later, Metroid SR got announced.

N&B Block revival time.

Ahh Nintendo first sold the IP rights of Donkey Kong to Microsoft years ago and now they’ve also sold Mario IP to Sony. NintenDOOOOOOM!!!

For once I knew a feature in the game that no one knew about or never took notice, feels pretty good ngl.

@GayusGayer true, JK Rowling confirming wizard teleporting their turd away as they stood and shat themselves on the spot is more fanfic material than any fans can come up with in their fanfic.

@Kaine Never knew they do rereleases, the more you know, cheers.

@Dringo good thing the Metroid ones are mostly all resin, I think Zero suit is the only one that is pvc and even then that one soared to 1-2k in recent years. Guess Metroid is just niche.

@Dirty0814 well being a few first4figure collector myself, I can say for sure these figurines prices soar into astronomical heights. Say the Phazon Suit Samus they released a few years back that only cost $200 on release, now you’d be lucky to find it for 2k.

@-wc- I mean whichever 15 year old have this must be loaded in cash.

any% speedrun is the most interesting because one new exploit or glitch can shake up the entire scene. Say a game that’s been speedrun for 5yrs now and the stable time is 3hrs long can one day drop to 1hr long to beat because of a new discovered exploit (and then another half hr because another exploit few days later), or that one legendary time that is 1hr due to the biggest RNG luck sack stayed as number 1 for years whilst all records are 1.5hrs at 2nd place onwards suddenly becomes beatable because a new technique shaves that much time off.

Glitchless isn’t as interesting because once everyone optimised their play to perfection, it’s only a matter of button mashing text faster and hoping for RNG to get faster times. You’ll get the occasional time shaved off but it’s usually just a few nano seconds and nothing really changed.

This is the history of Mario Sunshine speedrun and I think it perfectly shows why any% is such an exciting category.

Finally to top it off, just beating the game fastest isn’t always any%. If it’s not interesting to watch, they’ll make a seperate category just for runs with that glitch like Super Mario World Speedrun category. There is the under 10min speedrun a which is this
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gECESOoU8Es
But due to how boring it is to watch, this is put as it’s own category whilst longer runs with gameplay exploits rather than system exploits are still at the forefront even though the runs are way longer.

Is it just me or does the game looks like there’s a lot of lag? The animation looks like it’s 15fps.

I think there should be an archive of sort almost like Steam where all games after a certain date go into and is readily to be downloadable after paying a fee which goes to the publisher or something. I can dream but Nintendo will definitely hate the idea since it means they can’t sell you the same 30yr old game to you for the 10th time.

@StarPoint I think they are explaining it incase the speedrun community had some tricks with it (I imagine the hot and cold zones and lava shenanigans if there is any).
