I didn't realize his last name was Blasko. I guess that explains Belascoe Marsh in Simon's Quest? I'm surprised they managed to pay the royalties to Lugosi's estate for the likeness? Not even Universal is doing that for their new theme park rn.
@NFrealinkling Sega also keeps their games and collections front and center. Plus they've been making plug n play systems for a very long time. So it is probable that an older relative bought them one, or play with the kids on those.
@NFrealinkling Not entirely so. I see kids picking up merch and games. Mostly Sonic. Interestingly enough Jakks Pacific recently made Altered Beast and SoR figures.
@WheresWaveRace But that wouldn't make any sense, seeing as how once the servers went down for the wiiu and 3ds eshops for example, my games were not rendered unplayable.
@Ryu_Niiyama Sorry to hear you went through such hard times. I'm with you all the way on the ridiculous high costs of living and price gouging for necessities and medical care. As a girl, I never stopped my geeky little hobbies either.

Re: Splinter Cell Movie Is Reportedly Dead, Producer Admits Team "Just Couldn't Get It Right"
Better to not release something at all, then to churn out yet another piece of garbage.

@MrPeanutbutterz Right?

Re: Random: This 2D Animator Is Remaking An NES Zelda Dungeon With Hand-Drawn Visuals
It was interesting listening to him explain the processes that he's done so far. As well as seeing our boy in green go from a Pong bar to Link.

Never heard of it
Re: Nintendo Museum Overseas Visitors Reportedly Breaking 'No Photos' Rule
Why can't there be photos? It's the only way many people who don't live in Japan can see it. The last museum I went to was La Brea Tarpits.
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Kid Icarus (NES)
North America gets my vote easy. It's nostalgic and really captures the vibe of the game.

I don't really care

Sure! I'm down for it. Just not in funko pop style.

They're pretty similar
Re: Best Zelda Games Of All Time
The list really shouldn't be bloated with remakes and ports separately. Can't you just use / / instead?

Re: Californian Law Dictates Storefronts Be Honest About Digital Game Ownership
@WheresWaveRace They're talking about online only games where once the server is gone, there goes your game.
Re: Californian Law Dictates Storefronts Be Honest About Digital Game Ownership
@Ryu_Niiyama That sounds like awesome gaming rooms!
