Re: Feature: What Does Nintendo's Shutdown Of ROM-Sharing Sites Mean For Video Game Preservation?

Steevil

I would have no problem with getting RID of ROM sites if I had a legitimate and legal route to purchase them and play them on modern hardware.

Also, many many of the games I have downloaded ROMs for are for games I own, but I can no longer play them on my original hardware.

There are some awesome games that may be lost forever due to licensing concerns (going to use Beetle Adventure Racing and Goldeneye on N64 as examples here), and that would make me very sad.

Re: Site News: We Want Your Help To Become Even Better

Steevil

This is absolutely my favourite site for my beloved Switch. Just a few suggestions from me:

1. Be less afraid of the lower end of the ratings scale. If a game is absolutely terrible, give it a score of 1 or a 2. It's hard to differentiate when the vast majority of games are scored 7 to 9.

2. I actually really like Alex's videos, but agree mixing it up with some guest presenters would be cool.

3. Finally, I echo some of the other comments that more focus on the smaller indie games would be awesome. You already cover more than anyone else, but if Nintendo do ramp up the output, we'll need the help!

Otherwise thanks for all the hard work!

Re: GungHo Online Entertainment America Announces GALAK-Z: Variant S For Switch

@PALversusNTSC Personally I'd be pretty happy with the switch even if it was indies and Nintendo games.

Give it a bit of time though. I think that the success of the platform would have been noted by developers and publishers, but the difference between the Switch and PS4/XBox hardware means that cross platform game development for Switch might be a bad strategy...you don't want to flood the Switch with the same games that look and play better on the PS4 and XBox.

I think instead that you'll start seeing some platform exclusives for the Switch built on their own engines. These will take a while to build though, so unlikely to be this year.

This is what I hope it happening at least!!

I really liked Transformed, I think it will be a shame not to be able to fly around an aircraft carrier! I think that helped differentiate it from Mario Kart...which will always be pretty stiff competition if this presents itself as another kart game...Mario Kart 8 is pretty much perfect (or would be without the Blue Shell...grr!)

Re: UK Retailer GAME Sees Revenue Rise Thanks To Switch, But Profit Is Down Year-On-Year

Steevil

Sad, but I'm not surprised. I tried my hardest to support Game this past year because I'd really miss a retail game store on the high street...but...

1. Low levels of stock of titles on launch day (for anything other than a the Big AAA titles) meant I ended up having to order online anyway.

2. Decided to pre-order games but several times they still didn't have a copy for me when I turned up to collect ?!!!

3. Games sold above recommended retail price, where those games are available online for much less. Often as much as £20.

Re: Yooka-Laylee's Nintendo Switch eShop Price Is Revealed

Steevil

I loved Banjo 1 & 2 too much not to give this a go, and I've been deliberately holding off buying this to wait for the switch release.

At the moment I'm just happy that developers are supporting the Switch, and I don't blame them for setting this at a mid-retail price given the work that must have gone into porting the game to a different platform.

Rather than write the game off completely due to the price, why do people not wait for the game to go on sale?

Still, a physical version would have been nice...
