The kind of people that rate Metroid Prime so low rate games like Imagine Babyz and DDR as 10s. The kind of people that hate any game that might be "scary" or "mature". The kind of people that won't give games a chance because of it's cover art.
@AtlanteanMan I think the storage size of the cartridge may be the reason for the higher price. The next biggest size after 16GB is 32GB, unless I'm mistaken and there are sizes in between.
Uh, what? I never took Claus' death to be a suicide, but now I wonder if I misunderstood all that went on with the ending. Also "selfish, capitalist-embracing villagers"? I get the negative connotation with being selfish, but when you lump it together with capitalism it comes across as negative. Since when did capitalism become the "cool" thing to hate on? There is no perfect economic system, but capitalism is the most "fair", for better or worse.
"The cube-ular console and its launch lineup was let loose in Europe on 3rd May 2022". Yikes! That's one heck of a wait for the Europeans to get their hands on the GameCube!
@KateGray Why no sales numbers for Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn? Growing up it was one of my favorite games and I never really noticed the difficulty as a ten year old, oddly enough.
Why are there several TEEN rated games on this "kid friendly" list? And the NL recommended ages? Ridiculous in some cases. Was this list even created by actual parents?
@Pod Well, seeing as how Disney has been hell-bent on making sequels to sequels, reboots, remakes and the like, I can see why they would greenlight this.
@OorWullie I've seen in your comments that you're an avid shmup fan and lately I've been interested in dipping my toes in the genre. What 3 or so games would you recommend I try out?

I agree, I don't care for her humor, but wish her well nonetheless.
Re: Miyamoto Wasn't A Fan Of The Art Style In Zelda: Wind Waker
Not a fan either. I still much prefer Twilight Princess over this game.

Re: Soapbox: Mother 3 Isn't Sad, It's Hopeful
@Cia
No, but I did say it's the most "fair" of the systems. There is no perfect economic system, and nobody has the same starting point in life, but where it excels is in that it creates opportunities for people. I used to think different, but my studies have changed my mind. https://www.forbes.com/2009/11/03/capitalism-save-us-opinions-forbes_land.html?sh=d3a0960258cd

Why do you name things egg so much? Your Animal Crossing island and now Ness? Where does it end lol?!
Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl: Duel #95 - Earthbound / Mother 2
That was a tough choice, but in the end I opted for the psychedelic colors of NA. I really like them both though.
