@dustinprewitt A ripoff is called a ripoff because it copies work of another IP. That isn't applicable if both games are made by the same company as they aren't ripping their own selves off lol. πΉ
It's not what you're saying is wrong persey, but I just wanted to clarify what the definition of ripoff is when talking about IP.
@dustinprewitt You do realize both this and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine ARE Puyo Puyo? The game was modified on SNES and Genesis because the devs didn't think the original aesthetics would be accepted by the North American and European markets. Same dev so NOT a ripoff lol. π
@NinChocolate The Miiverse artists were often amazing. Also I actually still keep in touch with quite a few people I met on Miiverse and even have three Monster Hunter buddies I met on there. π
@Rayquaza2510 I mean to be fair Hollow Realization was still way better looking on Switch than it was on Vita plus the Switch version actually runs no worse than the PS4 version as far as the frame-rate is concerned. And poor old Fatal Bullet couldn't even run on Vita and was scrapped on the console while it has a minor visual downgrade on Switch, but still runs decent with only an occasional slight dip in FPS. I'm sure Alicization Lycoris will look good enough on Switch, but am a bit concerned it might run a bit more like the Vita ports of the older SAO games, because it has a lot more resources that require computing power than the previous games on Switch.
@SteamEngenius It's likely because I'm sight-impaired so my rage likely stems from knowing I don't have a snowball's chance in magma to beat the game lol. π
@Yosher Celeste is great, but I just couldn't beat it. The difficulty made the game feel like some sort of punishment for a misdeed lol. I am NOT casual by any means and have beaten super hard NES games such as Contra, but even Contra didn't make me die inside from seething rage like Celeste did. π
@Olliemar28 I mean Geralt is certainly old by normal reckoning and has grey hair, but that's not really due to age and physically he's about late-40's so not exactly elderly by Witcher standards.
@BloodNinja SAO: AL is far from garbage. I actually like it far more than the anime and I'm not a die-hard fan of the anime, just a casual viewer so this isn't coming from a blind fanboy. π
@thecricket I stupidly sold my copy of Fishing Resort before its price skyrocketed. I have sellers regret not only for lost money, but also because I miss that brilliant game.
@SwitchVogel Yeah, no. The original games were better even if they are dated by today's standards which could be rectified by relatively simple changes as well as QoL improvements.
Any chance of this sale actually coming to North America? Getting sick of missing out on first party deals that Europe gets 90% of the time, and when we do get first party deals it's usually the same 5-6 games everytime whereas Europe has seen most if not all of the first party Nintendo games go on-sale at some point. π
@Highlar @GameAndLuke It took me 15 minutes to find the demo and I've had to help several friends find it as well. This is the absolute dumbest setup for a demo for an expansion to a game that I've ever seen lol. πΉ
@blindsquarel It looks like Nintendo of America is back to not giving us Americans game trials again. I remember a few years ago they did this and for a year we didn't get any trials while all other regions got a new trial each month...
@Serpenterror Square Enix didn't support Wii U VC yet we still got SMRPG on that. SMRPG is first party btw. In the same way that DKC is first party despite Rare being owned by MS.
@ThomasBW84 Will these new legendary Nexomon and post-game content be added via update if you already have Nexomon and or Nexomon Extinction digitally?
@Pillowpants I don't think this is punishable by imprisonment, but the dev will likely be sued for millions.
Edit: Also I hope to heck it isn't. That would set dangerous precedent that could wind up putting tens of millions of Americans in prison for crimes that have only been sueable offenses rather than jailable offenses.
Don't forget guys that the NES version of Dig Dug II has 76 levels as opposed to the 32 levels in the arcade game. It also has a more difficult NG+ as well! π
@Olliemar28 The sale's been up for two days already mate! Still crushed that Mario Kart 8 Deluxe went on-sale for 32% off less than 72 hours after I purchased the game. π
@Joeynator3000 Why? Arceus is WAY better than any of the other recent Pokemon games. Yes it's too different imo. I had the same criticism for Breath of The Wild, that doesn't mean Arceus or BoTW were bad by any means, it was just a bit upsetting that Nintendo reinvented them into something different.
@Reiflo Well it looks like the region might be based off of Greece, Italy, or Spain which would explain the outfits. Remember the outfits and characters are based on the region's irl equivalent.
@Damo You do realize that there's no comparison in the crimes right? Nintendo isn't going to jail someone for 5 years and sue them for $4.5 million if they illegally download their games. At worst you might get hit with a $50,000 fine and a month in jail. That said most likely you'd just get a lesser fine and no jail-time. I don't condone illegal activity, but this article reeks of hyperbole and clickbait. Most people just want the honest truth, not scare tactics or hyperbole in the news articles that they read. π‘π ππΏπΉπΊπ
@NEStalgia Bet you didn't know Pheonicians have a somewhat unique dialect and accent, though I digress it too is becoming more difficult to discern from the West Coast dialect and accent.
