Re: Soapbox: Playdate Sold Out In 20 Minutes - Is It Time For A New Nintendo Handheld?

Valdney

Sometimes I just want to play simple games on my switch, but unfortunately the joycon layout makes it very uncomfortable. There’s absolutely no reason for Nintendo to not have released a dpad-only joycon at this point. It boggles my mind that we still don’t have more joycon options. The joycons are freaking attachable pieces, it only makes sense to have more options.

Re: Soapbox: Be Happy, This Is The True Golden Age Of Gaming

I absolutely love old games, but funny enough I tend to agree with the article’s premise. I do believe we entered a golden age of gaming after the Switch’s release, but I still think the 90’s were better. I need a few more games to say that the current era is as good as the 90’s were. One thing is for certain though, I haven’t had this much fun with video games since then.

Re: Feature: Zelda II: The Adventure Of Link Taught Me The Value Of Perseverance

Zelda 2 is an absolute classic! And I have no nostalgia for this game, since I finished it for the first time around the middle of the last decade. This game has one of the best level systems ever created where grinding will not do much for you and you will have to get better at it by practice. The end result of that is a pitch perfect sense of growth I am yet, to this day, to find in another game. There are many things that could be ironed out in a possible remake, but don’t sleep on this classic. Get past the archaic graphics and embark on this great adventure.

Re: Poll: What's The Best 2D Mario Game?

Valdney

Mario 3 has much better music than world
Better edited levels
Better power ups
More levels
Airships are more intimidating than castles
Better difficulty and super tight controls
Much better lore (mushroom kingdom is a thousand times more cool than Dinosaur Land)
People who say world is better are heretics. Lol.
