Re: Talking Point: The Games We Got Rid Of - What Were We Thinking?

After moving out and studying I needed money to pay rent. I sold most of my N64 games that were all in mint condition boxes and a couple of snes games. I also threw away over 50 copies of the Official Nintendo Magazine. I thought it was part of growing up ..maybe I never grew up 😅

It always makes me sad thinking about it. Especially games like Yoshi's Island, Killer Instinct, Mario Kart, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Vigilante 8, Jet Force Gemini and so forth

@Snatcher No harm done of course! Thanks for clarifying yourself tho. I'm an amature animator myself en therefore I've been a fan of Illumination's work, mainly because of the animation level. So I can get a bit protective when people claim otherwise Illumination did get a lot of backlash for being the chosen studio to make the Mario Movie. No worries tho, I see it was just a misunderstanding Cheers!

@Snatcher I disagree with your statement. Saying that it's only recently that Illumination has become good at animation. Despicable Me is a fantastic movie with great animation and original story. The movie did very well for good reason. The problem I think were the minions as they became so popular they were everywhere. Then people got tired of the minions and that's when the Minion movie came out. Big mistake. It doesn't say anything about their animation skills though. There is a good reason Nintendo chose Illumination to make the Mario movie.
