Re: Feature: Steven Spohn On Strides In Accessibility For Gaming, And Nintendo's Room For Improvement

UnseatingKDawg

I had this argument the other day about the new Metroid not having an easy mode. Personally I argued that not every single game needs an easy mode; if I'm playing Donkey Kong Country, or Crash Bandicoot, or Demon's Souls, I expect a challenge. And this is coming from someone who's handicapped himself. I've learned that there's some things I just can't do, some things just aren't handicap compatible, and that's okay. Not every video game is going to be accessible; as mentioned above some genres are just built in a way that require better timing and precision.

With that being said, I do agree that more options should be available, at least on the console's base level. More of those specially designed controllers would be a huge benefit to several players. But not every single game needs an easy mode. That's just the way I see it.

Re: Court Orders Popular ROM Website To "Destroy" All Of Its Unauthorised Nintendo Games

@jsty3105: Switch games aren't "the older games", now are they? Obviously I know that would be piracy.

That being said, I hadn't realized right away that this guy put the ROMs behind a paywall and was selling Switch ROMs. My mistake on that one. It's just that every time I see an article about Nintendo shutting down/suing a rom site I usually think it's them yet again throwing a fit about people hosting their older content that they could be providing to their userbase, be it paid or otherwise. Again, my bad.

Re: Nintendo Fears A Popular ROM Website Could Make A Comeback

My philosophy always was "If they make it available, I'll pay for it." If they don't, and they have the ability to, but still complain, I have no sympathy for them. They're actively shooting themselves in the feet and asking why they bleed. I like Nintendo, but man they make very dumb decisions regarding their legacy content.

Re: Sonic Colors: Ultimate Will Be A Friendly Game For Beginners

@Snatcher To this day I still question how I managed to complete that level three times over without dying to get a measly 10 gamerscore. The boiler room was the hardest part for me.

Since then (to me at least) they haven't made a final level able to top Eggmanland in terms of sheer difficulty and length. The only one that's impressed me since is Titanic Monarch, and that's mainly due to the atmosphere and music (gameplay's not bad, I just didn't find it that challenging).

Re: Frustrated Super Smash Bros. Fans Get #FixUltimateOnline Trending On Social Media

While I rarely play online to begin with (it's usually just against friends sparingly) and that's decreased further with satellite internet (not fast enough for Smash to connect for a match) I can understand the annoyance big time. It's a service that we have to pay for, and it's getting more and more lackluster, between this, not updating the NES/SNES app regularly (still waiting on the DKC trilogy, EarthBound, Super Mario RPG and Super Mario All-Stars) and as mentioned a bunch of other stuff either not available or needing an app. It's pretty much a joke at this point.

Re: Video: New LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Trailer Teases Footage From All Nine Films

The original Lego Star Wars was what got me interested in Star Wars, and I've loved the first three games (the original, The Original Trilogy, and especially The Complete Saga) since. While i don't have the highest hopes for the newest film, I'm still picking this new game up. Lego games are usually pretty fun and hilarious.

I'd still say my favorite cutscene was when Vader was telling Luke he was his father by using a Polaroid.

Re: Nintendo Releases Statement About Switch Joy-Con Drift Issue

@gamer95: I saw his endless mantra on the post about the lawsuit. "Take better care of your hardware" was the only thing he was really capable of saying.

With his kind of attitude, I can understand why his YouTube views would be so low. Probably also upset that he'll never hit the big time as a Let's Player.

Re: Class Action Lawsuit Officially Filed Against Nintendo For Switch Joy-Con "Drifting" Issues

Gotta love when people (or at least one person) have an answer for everything.

I'm not contacting these guys, but my left joy-con drifted last year. And so did its replacement (which was preowned, but still). Eventually I caved and got the original fixed. I hope if this doesn't go to court, that it at least serves as a wake-up call and have Nintendo take action. I love the company, but man they make stupid decisions sometimes.
