Re: Link's Awakening Turns 20 Years Old

Real Talk Time: Link's Awakening is the first game I remember that drew a strong emotional response from me. It was the day I realized games were capable of doing more than providing a fun diversion.

Re: Silicon Studio Near "Maximum Performance" With Wii U, 3DS Hardware

@LzQuacker I agree, and I think that's what Silicon Studio is talking about when referring to "performance." They're trying to make full use of the technology. It won't mean anything if the games aren't fun as well, but who knows what kinds of ideas you can pull off in terms of mechanics and gameplay if you can be a little more efficient or push some limits?

@BossBattles Hm... But isn't how fun a console is to play dependent upon its qualities and a developer's ability to properly utilize them? If you have the same game, say, released for both SNES and Genesis, what determines which one is "more fun" to play? If they are exactly the same, does the console itself even factor into that?

But if you're implying that all consoles are equally fun on their own and its up to the games to provide the most flavor, I can be quite cool with that.

Re: Club Nintendo Rewards Updated for May

TimLatshaw

@Optimist_Prime You're quite right, although I swear it said 150 coins earlier. And now Excitebike is showing up as 100 coins on the Club Nintendo front page but 150 on its individual rewards page. Hm.
