Re: Soapbox: Super Metroid Showed Me I Had The Right To Exist

@Manjushri btw, Super Mario is sexist just because you have to save the princess? If it's the case it's ridiculous...saving a princess from a Monster or other dangers is just a trope from medioeval times, nothing more, nothing less, it doesn't have to do with gender roles, at least not in modern times...also Mario isn't your usual knight on his white borse, with blonde hair, Blue eyes and so on...nobody complained when you could play as a powerful amazon in Golden Axe, though, or as a skilled street fighter in Streets of Rage, after "having" to save the girl in Double Dragon and Final Fight. And what's wrong if some girls need to be saved? Not all people are strong like ChunLi...

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

They want to protect their IPs but they barely make them playable on modern consoles....I have bought Metal Slug so many times on so many consoles (+PC and smartphone)...same for many other old games...still the first time I played most of them was with Mame!! Nintendo doesn't want people to make illecitely Money with their old games? Fine, but they should release them on the Switch ASAP, or people will search and play them on other platforms. It's just as easy as that.
