I wish Conker's Quest / Twelve Tales would have been made instead of the raunchy version. I remember seeing it in Nintendo Power and was excited at the time. Oh, what could have been. It's not too late to finish it and bring it back.
I'm not sure what the last Ubisoft game that I played. Need to make more interesting games, I guess. Where did the creativity go that developers had back in the N64 days? Lots of creativity then. Now we just get handed the same style of game over and over again.
Looking forward to the game but do not want to see much of it before I get to play it. Kind of like watching a movie trailer that gives too much away before seeing the movie.
Inflation comparing in today's world is a joke. For example...
The PS2 ($299 in 2000) did not feel like spending $546 in today's world. If that were the case, I wouldn't have purchased it then and still wouldn't in today's world. That's pricey for a game console. People are forgetting that when the PS2 came out, in that world you got more for your money's worth for everyday things. So if anything, we should not be inflating but deflating the cost when comparing. Totally different world 24 years ago. When the cost of living goes way up but a persons wage doesn't increase or barely does over a time span, inflation comparison is a joke and nothing more than an excuse for current higher prices.
Tetris (NES) is the best version in my opinion. This is good news!
The whole family played this when it was originally released. Even those who were older and didn't normally play games. One of my best Christmas memories. Glad it is coming to Switch soon.
A big fan of Blu ray but I would rather have a DVD copy than digital streaming. Digital media is like throwing your money out the window. You own nothing.
The first three Nintendo consoles were my favorite. So any of the three but I voted N64. The N64 was just so awesome when it was released. I have not experienced a release like it since.
Pro: "Easy to lose hours of your life building the perfect school" Con: "Gameplay feels a bit soulless and detached from the subject matter" So which is it? Confused???
I personally don't need games to be more complex or graphically up to date by today's standards. I just want them to be fun and enjoyable. Still playing old school games and enjoying them.
@Ulysses No it wouldn't take too much longer. Games just ten years ago use to have textures. Not looking for realistic either. Just some detail. Washed out scenes is just lazy.
I'm looking forward to this. I just only wish developers would use more detail in the textures. I'm not a fan of the washed out style we seen in the last couple of Zelda games and other games. Give me some detail.
My favorite Tetris game is the NES version. It will always be the original and best for me. I don't really play any other versions besides the SNES (Tetris and Dr Mario) version because they don't feel nor look the same.
@JohnnyMind Yeah, and The Smurfs 2 - The Prisoner of the Green Stone is good too. It's more of a shooter style game. So it change up the game style verses Vileaf.
The Smurfs Village Party here. Started playing last night. A bit on the easy side but I haven't gotten too far yet in Adventure mode. More of a sit back and relax with this one compared to the other two releases. I'm a sucker for Smurf games.
LEGOs have always been too expensive for me. This set looks cool but I wouldn't pay more than $35 for plastic pieces. It's PLASTIC! One of the cheapest materials you could possibly use to make anything. Hence why everything is made of plastic now-a-days. Companies like LEGO, Disney and Apple are far too overpriced with their products. Lower prices sell more but I guess this is for the elite.

A demo would have been nice. Would like to see how the motion controls on golf do. That was pretty much my only interest in this game.

Re: Devolver Digital Confirms The Plucky Squire Won't Run At 60 FPS On Switch
I never paid to much attention to FPS. As long as the game doesn't stutter at 30 FPS, I am fine.

What a bummer. Was looking forward to this. I guess it shouldn't have been announced by the developer.

Re: Rumour: Nintendo To Launch A New Switch OLED Bundle With Mario Wonder
