@River3636 Or digital booklets for Collection of Saga. The original games came with fantastic books of secret hints! Don't get me wrong, the nostalgia is real and the games are still fun, but having to turn to the internet for what should have been included is kind of a bummer.
As cool as this would be, with XCloud and Console streaming it's not as though portable options don't exist. Of course you need good internet and a current phone, but I don't feel like that's a wholly unpopular setup these days.
@Ryu_Niiyama I just played through it last week. Really beautiful game that is absolutely worth your time. It's only a few hours long as well (which I appreciated)
What do you mean by West? - Anything Europe or west of it due to Star Wars licensing and the size of the company that owns it
this game doesn't look that great regardless of what they'd call it. - Looks like a game fun for people familiar with the source material, but given my lack of familiarity, I'd likely have more fun playing Mario Party or a Jackbox Party pack
@FNL I agree completely, but why has boycotting become a 4 letter word? If you don't like a company, don't buy their stuff. It's basically the capitalist form of voting. Why do we villify the left or the right for not supporting a business they don't like? I think that politics might be stupid.
@shani Because this isn't outdated. You can't honestly play a 1 on 1 fighter with an arcade stick and tell me it's worse. It'd be like saying a flight simulator is worse with a flight stick. Or Forza is worse with a steering wheel.
Some controller types are designed to improve the experience for a specific game type. As is true with arcade sticks and fighters
@Axlroselm @Bunkerneath Depends on your perspective I suppose. If you simply want to play the games on it, yeah. There are more affordable ways to do that especially if you already own any Nintendo system (which you likely do if this is something you're even looking at)
As a collectors item this is very much worth the price. The product is extremely well made. Beautiful metal face-plate, buttons feel perfect, screen looks great and the secrets are a real treat. 10/10 fairly valued collectors item. 4/10 overpriced way to play Mario 1 & 2.
@Jokerwolf Almost everyone I know either lost their job or had to go to work in the pandemic anyway. So far 2 out of 10 of my company's employees got COVID. America!
@NintendoByNature Fair, and to each their own. Like gamepass, it's nice to give the choice to buy or borrow, I just get worried when it seems Nintendo is choosing one OR the other. It'd be nice if we could both have our way.
@NintendoByNature As requested "You're crazy" $20 a year for a library of games vs $8 for a single SNES game? Shenanigans. Maybe I'm spoiled with gamepass, but I don't care if I "own" a thing as long as I can play it.
@BenAV I get where you're coming from. Performance killed it so I ended up trading it in for the XBox version. If you do get a chance to play it, it's amazing. But the Switch version was a let down for sure, I'd play on PS4 or Xbox (if you happen to have one of those) if you ever want to give it a chance.
@JR150 I literally want every game on every system. Let the platform itself draw users. Want to play it anywhere? Nintendo. Want it unreasonable powerful? PC. Want it in a Netflix sub style? Xbox. Want whatever people go to Playstation for? Playstation (not being rude, I know Playstation is good for exclusives, but the whole point of this is to get rant is to get rid of exclusives)

Re: Adventure Time Meets Greek Myth In New Immortals Fenyx Rising DLC
I like that this game came out two weeks ago and it's already on sale for 33% off on XBox. Wait a few days on Switch I guess
Ubisoft is an interesting company

Re: Dotemu Delays Windjammers 2 To 2021
@technotreegrass Cheers to this. Better delayed and good than launched while the game is bad.

Re: Review: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity - Not The Zelda Game You Want, But Perhaps The One You Need
@Custom1991 Because that would exclude the rest of the americas (Brazil, Canada, etc). The western world is how it has been referred for centuries now
Also, english is far from the only language used. In the US alone, I've lived places where the primary languages include Spanish, English, & French.

Re: Atelier Ryza Developer Clarifies Its Stance On Video Game Censorship
@FNL like I said, I totally agree.
Re: Random: Amateur Dev Releases Reimagined Remakes Of The 1993 Zelda CD-i Games
@OstianOwl may have already happened.
And just like that, the links to download are gone. Looks like I've missed the window.

I know the name seems to be the talking point, but this game doesn't look that great regardless of what they'd call it.
Re: Mercenaries Blaze: Dawn Of The Twin Dragons Brings More Tactical RPG Action To Switch This Month
@nilcam Came here to say this. They aren't bad by any means. They are, however, the very definition of mediocre.
Re: Random: Amateur Dev Releases Reimagined Remakes Of The 1993 Zelda CD-i Games
I had these as a kid and loved them. Kids are stupid.

@doctorhino good to know!
Re: Hardware Review: 8BitDo's Arcade Stick Grants That Coin-Op Feel To Your Switch
If this worked cross-platform I'd snag it in a moment. Especially given the dynamic button layouts, I'm surprised XBox isn't also supported.
Re: Ubisoft's Immortals Fenyx Rising Was Born Out Of An Assassin's Creed Bug
@Shambo I loved Mario + Rabbids. What a gem
Re: Ubisoft's Immortals Fenyx Rising Was Born Out Of An Assassin's Creed Bug
@Shambo Well with Ubisoft you're in luck! Wait a few months and you can get gold edition at 40
Re: The Wii U First Launched Eight Years Ago Today
@WCB It was a great system, feel like there's a lot of hate but I really enjoyed it.

Re: Image & Form's New Game Is "Permanently Exclusive" To Xbox And Windows
I think this looks great. And I'm fine with this only being on XBox, but then I have an XBox, so I'm probably not the target of the question.

Re: UK Charts: Ring Fit Adventure Continues To Impress As Nintendo Takes Half Of The Top Ten
