The creator is obviously very talented and the end result is pretty, but it doesn't have personality. Its like making a cake out of cardboard and covering it in pretty icing. It looks good, but you don't want to eat it.
@Munchlax She-Hulk is like 7ft tall. Jennifer is not much over 5ft tall. Also, yes, I agree the CG is rough, but as long as the story is good I can over look it. I grew up with a lot worse and still managed to enjoy the movies/shows.
@Malones2792 She-Hulk was created in 1980 as a pre-emptive strike against someone making a gender swap spin off to the Incredible Hulk TV show like how The Bionic Woman came to be as a gender swap spin off of The Six Million Dollar Man. Stan Lee didn't want a gender swap version of Hulk so made sure she was unique despite having the same powers.
The year is 2222 and Nintendo fans are complaining that Nintendo has decided to finally cut off all servers to the 3DS and Wii U, despite both consoles being over 200 years old.
Buying the original GBA. No backlight screen, and the only games I had were Mario 2 (which I had played to death), F-Zero (new but hardly original) and Kuru Kuru Kururin (surprisingly fun but shallow). It took a while for anything to be really worth the purchase. The GBA SP was a much better design too. Made the same mistake with the DS. The redesign was so much better.
Please give us a release date. As for James Avery, they could ask his estate if they can use audio clips from the show to appear in the game. It would be awesome to have his voice be in this game.
I have many orders from them and no real complaints. The Monkey Island Collection did take a while to arrive (thanks Covid) but it arrived eventually and everything looks great.
People might be asking for $200 but if you look at what it is actually selling for, these are going for £40 - £50. Also, is it scalping if people bought the game to play and are only selling the minifig they don't want? Scalping would be selling the game and the minifig for high prices.
Remember kids, Nintendo used to be carefree like most of today's internet users about trademarks and IP but after they got threatened with a lawsuit over Donkey Kong, they got scared of losing what they thought is theirs. Which is why they go after literally anything that threatens their trademarks, copyrights and IPs.
@Richnj Published work belongs to the people making the work or the IP holder unless the work has been made royalty free/shareware etc. Fans aren't entitled to it just because they are fans.
@earthinheritor they sued websites SELLING access to ROMs, not simply hosting them.
@victordamazio preserving it is up to Nintendo and the publisher of the book, not randos on the internet who have an over inflated sense of entitlement to just take things that don't belong to them.
A simple case of unauthorised distribution. The book isn't eligible for public domain until 2091. It is why there are copyright rules and regulations. Oh, and no, Nintendo aren't paying me. I would support any company defending their copyrighted material from unauthorised distribution.
Majora's Mask is vastly over rated. but I'd say my least favourite Zelda game is Four Swords Adventures. As for Mario, my least favourite of the main series would also be Sunshine.
Of all the Konami collections I wanted, this is the one. However, due to licensing, I never thought it would be possible. I thought the new TMNT Shredder's Revenge was the closest we were going to get. Perhaps the fan reaction to that game is where the execs realized they were sitting on a gold mine. I don't care what kind of deal Konami had to agree to but I am so excited about this. Day one purchase for me.
The art is nice but why go with a skinny girl when Dr. Robotnik is one of the few prominent XXL characters? There is nothing wrong with a matronly body. Check Impa from the Legend of Zelda Oracle games.
Just yesterday my Day One Switch started to have charging problems where the battery runs down fast. I'll have to send it to Nintendo to get fixed. My Day One Switch Lite works just fine.
What did they expect? Just because it didn't have a how to doesn't mean they poked the bear. The usual "Game preservation" BS that pirates throw out doesn't apply here when the footage shown is current generation hardware.
N64 Emulation has always been difficult. Just ask the people working on fan made emulators. There are still some N64 games that do not run well on emulators and they have been around for decades.
Holding out a tiny bit of hope that the SwSh update will be the remaining missing Pokemon from the national dex, though, I realize that is a tall order.
@shining_nexus Yeah, I thought so too. The main characters look like the DP protagonists a few years later. I named my character Dawn, because Dawn is cooler than Lucas.
This is the second DLC that will be part of the NSO. If that is the way things will go from now on that is adding a lot of value. Do I wish the 48 tracks were in Mario Kart 9? Yes, but that is plenty of content for a game I already own and since I have NSO I will not need to buy the tracks. Mario Kart 9 is looking more like 2024 at the earliest. Perhaps a launch title for the next console?
If all the artist had to go on was a screenshot and the name Legend of Zelda (a female name), you can understand why they thought the character was female. Its just like people thinking Samus's name was Metroid.
I'm tired of people complaining about graphics. The game looks good and plays great. I'm having a lot of fun with it and that is all that matters to me. Graphics snobs need to reevaluate their lives.
Rookie parent mistake. If you buy anything electrical as a present, make sure to set it up before wrapping it for Christmas so everything is ready to go on Christmas morning or you have to suffer everyone trying to do it at the same time and the kids get upset.
The weird thing is they are keeping all of Ash's adventures canon, but he is still 10. You have to watch Pokemon Origins, Pokemon Generations, Pokemon Twilight Wings, and Pokemon Evolutions. They are much more mature shows and more like the Pokemon Adventures manga.
I grew up on C64 so this is great news for me, though I worry what games will be on it. Codemasters used to put out so many awesome games, but they rarely make them available these days.
@dustinprewitt "At the rate, the value of the n64 online expansion pack should catch up with its actual price by about.... 2027, give or take inflation."
Umm, no. Nintendo charged £10 for N64 games on virtual console. Including Paper Mario would put the value of NSO+ at £100. Thats not counting the Mega Drive games, which adds and extra £112 to the N64 games.
"It's also great news for video game preservation"
Umm, you know Nintendo most likely has the code on their servers right? These games are preserved, just not available to the public. All this does is allow piracy and illegal modification. Nobody cares about game preservation. It's just a throw away quote people use to justify pirating software. Just be honest with everyone.

Re: Random: Pokémon Scarlet And Violet Characters Reimagined As Previous Gen Sprites
This just confirms the new playable characters are basically just NPCs and that is why they are so bland looking.
Re: Hideki Kamiya Really Wants You To Play Bayonetta 1 & 2 Before The Third Game
