7 articles on goldeneye. Superb. Makes me visit the site more. It’s a website about Nintendo and Goldeneye is without a doubt one the the best Nintendo historic titles of all time. Its release to current gen consoles is massive and I am glad, like many others, you have taken many angles looking at its new release. Thank you NL.

Re: Review: GoldenEye 007 - Aged And Flawed, But Still A Masterpiece Of Game Design

@glaemay exactly. I never understand people that say this hasn’t aged well or is flawed. They play modern FPS where it’s all dancing round and ridiculous damage and movement. This game gets it right, not modern FPS. Most of which are horrible grind fests designed merely to get you to part with more and more cash in Microtransactions.

They are addictive, not fun, this is fun and addictive.

It’s not flawed.

It’s a game that had perfect level design. Perfect pacing. Perfect difficulty levels and was designed to work perfectly with the n64 controller.

Modern games especially FPS wish they could have this level of care and design given to them. Perfect to the source material. No nonsense. No gimmicks. No grind. Just a purely fun experience.

Played it recently on n64 with N64 remote. Aged beautifully.. it’s near perfect game design with perfect controller for it. Modern FPS still haven’t captured the same magic.

It’ll take people that have never played it a while to get used to the controls but it’s worth it when it clicks.

Just don’t be oddjob in multiplayer…. It’s against the unwritten rules.

Those that say they’ve played it recently and it’s aged badly…. Really have no idea.

Re: Soapbox: Fire Emblem Engage's Nintendo NYC Launch Felt Pretty Unengaging

I always feel crowds for these events are proportionate to the effort the company puts in. Word spread that there was no freebies, no fanfare, no event. People won’t turn up. You can order it online for cheaper. People aren’t stupid. Generally.

Put an event on. Staff tell others and word spreads. You get a crowd. Staff tell people “no we aren’t doing anything special” zero buzz is created.

Most people into launches will go into stores or check before putting in too much effort.

Re: Random: Zelda BOTW Speedrunner Beats Game 50 Times In Less Than 24 Hours

Completing it in 24 mins seems a stretch to me. Using exploits and loops holes? I was always a fan of a speed run being playing the game as intending, not using bugs or warps or skips, I really don’t see the fun in completing this game in that time and repeating over and over. No real skill is it? Just speed cheating?

I guess if he enjoys himself and people like watching it where is the harm.

Let’s be honest what’s the point in any video games but fun. If he is having fun good on him.

Just goes right over my tiny head.

@SalvorHardin played it this week on steam deck.
Completed the first batch on missions in the Homer level and just started the Bart level. Zero complaints. It’s still a great game. Never sure what people mean when a game hasn’t aged well. There are no alternatives to this game. At all. Very little to compare it to to say any such thing. It hasn’t got loads of paid cosmetics, it isn’t a shallow grind fest…. And no achievements….

All three are ticks from me. It’s a good game with loads to explore and loads of actual unlockables.

Re: Return To Monkey Island Sets Sail For Physical Release

Ugh. Limited run. No thanks.

Having spent a LOT of money with this company I can you they are awful. People that apologise for LRG and defend them just simply refuse to see the issues with both the model and the service…. The fact the people that work for LRG are horrible too doesn’t really help.

Comments section is even funnier now the video has been restored. Nintendo wouldn’t do it if they couldn’t, their legal team is best, they don’t make mistakes, it’s their duty to “protect” their IP. NDAs are involved.

Lmao

The well informed Nintendo gatekeepers making one or two bold statements that turned out to be hogwash as usual.

I’m no fan of the influencer model of reporting but the people that defend Nintendo whatever even thought stuff like this happens over and over. Perhaps learn from your mistakes and don’t quote legal nonsense you have no idea about on the next article that’s similar. You look like a fool at this point.

Re: Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Switch Spin-Offs Have Been Delayed To 2023

People still struggle that people buy games on a switch to play in handheld.

How do people not understand that.

Most my fave games on switch have been on other consoles.

Playing on the switch suits me and the flexibility to play whenever.

Similar reasons as to why I bought a steam deck.

Not everyone can play on a big screen all the time

Re: Smash World Tour Announces Cancellation After Notice From Nintendo

Legal eagles on here make me smile. Big long posts about how “they understand the law” and they will explain it all to us and then post complete boot licking twaddle.

Nintendo can shut this down. It’s clear coz they have. This does not mean it’s right. Plenty of “laws” or “threats using the law” are in grey areas and the smaller party won’t be able to fight it. Often large companies know they might actually not legally win these cases but they know they can throw money at it to make it go away. Nintendo rarely care about if legally they can win. Just can they win.

Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch

@Beaucine agree with all that. I have the n64 controller for switch but haven’t used it much as I only got it on the last batch. I struggled with wave race on joycons. I love that game. I need to see if I get some muscle memory from countless hours back in the day trying to beat my best time

@quinnyboy58 I think I only did it with help of a mate back in the day. I’ll have no chance with my old man eyes. I’ll have fun doing the lower and giving up on 007 quickly. I’ll end up doing it over and over on agent again at my age. Acting like a boss. The first two were doable right? Then there were two super hard ones? Or one was editable?

Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch

@quinnyboy58 I’m all on the campaign mate. Superb campaign and the difficulty with different objectives. I’m surprised more games still don’t do this.

I’ll happily play this through on each difficultly in turn. Drag it out. Ha.

This game is still a thing of beauty.

Re: PSA: Sega Mega Drive Mini 2 Is Now Available To Pre-Order In The UK

Amazon exclusive. Yuck. Exclusives suck.

£104?!? Yuck.

No power adapter?!? Yuck.

Can I afford it. Fortunately yes. Am I ordering - no. I own all the mini consoles but this one is pretty much doing everything wrong and is a very cynical release.

The whole industry is stumbling towards a low effort high price model and it wasn’t always that way. It’s a fairly recent thing.

The JAP version game list isn’t helping matters.

Good luck if this ticks your boxes. I would say I’ll pick it up cheaper down the road but they’ve ramped up scarcity to charge more. Grubby little beasts.

Re: Evercade EXP Handheld Will Come Bundled With 18 Classic Capcom Titles

Stocksy

I have the black limited edition ordered and I’m delighted with this brucie bonus extra. I have original and vs and had fun with both. I also own other devices that I can hoist the jolly Rodger on and the evercade still has appeal.

@GrailUK I’m not sure if you are being serious or not. When they say it’s the only way - they mean negotiating with capcom having the games built in was the only deal they could get them to sign. They have said they are still talking to capcom and hope to get a deal for carts/other games.

So I’m not sure why this is against their original mission statement.
