Today I learned Tubz exist. Future landfill.

Will stick to my Wii versions

And people need to keep inflation in mind - $88 in 1995 would be $187 now.

Trouble is, of course, wages don't tend to keep up with inflation...

I played the entire VB library via retropie emulation 5 or 6 years ago.

Virtual Boy WarioLand, Jack Bros are genuinely good. Mario Clash and Mario Tennis are fine. The rest are absolute bunkum.

$35 for these three? Man, LGR even beat Nintendo for the awfulness of their pricing.

I'll get it eventually and hate myself for it. Too many remakes / re-issues / switch 2 editions already.

So are they dropping the Project Zero name for European markets? I think this is the first Project Zero series game to receive a Fatal Frame title in the UK.

It's a shame people are defending Nintendo for its pricing strategies in this thread. It will encourage them to push exorbitant pricing even further in future. It's only ever the consumers that suffer, in the end.

(It goes without saying that healthy sales across the board is good for everybody; our jibes toward PlayStation and Xbox is all in good fun.)

Shame we live in an age so bereft of literacy, critical thinking, and humour that these kind of addendums have to be added.

First game was good but mad over-rated, like a lot of cult indie games.

Increasing brand awareness amongst children and developing future consumers.

@Not_Soos

I love that he called it a computer game haha. I'm aware its not technically accurate, but in the 90s computer games was a general catch-all term for interactive entertainment in the UK, as when gaming began to take off it was via home computers more than video game consoles.

Just nice to see British English terms pop up now and again as the internet has so many younger Brits using American English - the sound of a British youtuber talking about the 'ZEE' trigger on an N64 controller or the 'ESS-NEN-EE-ESS' makes me sad.

I don't watch much contemporary media so I haven't seen anything by these two, but I think casting unknowns is the right way to go. Part of the appeal of Link in particular is the blank canvas he represents (he has little to no character outside of brave/loyal, especially in the earlier games) so to have a unknown actor in the role doesn't distract the audience by having them imprint a more well-known star's persona on to Link.

@DollyrotsFan1 Not sure I agree that they supposed to be 'in love' with each other; the depth of their relationship is dependent on the game and individual fan canon. The earlier games, especially, suggest no more than a 'hero-damsel' relationship. i would suggest a deep affection/mutual respect is closer within the majority of the series.

@Purgatorium

Because people want to be angry about things that don’t matter in order to get attention on the internet.

I've played the new Sonic titles.

Time would definitely be better spent updating Sonic Adventure,

What, no Rage Wars?

AN EXCLUSIVE IN GAME COSTUME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

“There's also a free digital upgrade for existing Little Nightmare owners at launch, but this is not available for the Nintendo versions.”

Any explanation for why this is?

*** edit ***

Ahh technical limitation. Whatever. Still won’t buy it, the original version runs well enough for me.

@vio what age do you plan to quit gaming? I’d like to know since you feel there’s a hard cut off point. Want to make sure I stock up on flat caps and werthers originals so I don’t get in trouble with the fun police.

Still Nintendo's worst home console and with the weakest iterations of the majority of its major franchises; it's the only Nintendo console where a third-party release (RE4) is the best game on there.

Still got my original copies of these I bought at the time (I'm old), but glad a new generation will have official access to them!

If Nintendo really considered the experience etc. when pricing games, they wouldn't charge so much for remasters of 10-15 year old games.

Is America great yet?

That good old Nintendo arrogance when successful rearing its head.

I mean, you'd hope so at that price.

Sucked in '02 and sucks now. The HD remake is the only way to play the worst 3D Zelda.

Don't @ me.

I wonder if they'll actually package this one properly when they ship it in 2029

Price point is offensive. What is the innovation? Some chat function and a mouse? That’s the best they have after eight years? And a load of “old game but in 60 fps please give money?”They didn’t show anything exciting enough to make it a day one purchase and I have a switch backlog anyway.

Will wait for the anniversary edition that included the inevitable DLC.

Exactly the kind of things that should be coming to SNES online.

The main bug that needs fixing is the ridiculous price points.

There is legitimately NOTHING that baseball would make more exciting.

Disappointed to only get 21, but not bad considering I haven't played it for over a decade.

BUT WHAT ABOUT GAME PRESERVATION!!!!!???????

Oh no, the mega corporation is making slightly less money.

#StarFoxZeroWasGood

I was over in the UK for the first time in a few years for Christmas, and one thing that stood out is the reduction in shelf space for games in general. When I was last over in 2019, for example, my local Asda has a whole aisle for physical games, that is now down to a fifth of an aisle. HMV stocked barely any games. GAME is no longer a games retailer that also sells merchandise, but is instead a tat retailer that also sells games on the side.

Of course, this could be a case of catch-22, with demand informing what shops stock, but I would suggest in factor that has informed a decline in physical media is that they aren't as readily available on the high street as they were pre-pandemic.

Not sure how seriously I can take the view of someone who cried 75% of the way through a Sonic move, to be honest.

The fact that one of their primary selling points is 'it has some really fantastic easter eggs' shows what kind of movie this will be. Another load of 'member berries nonsense.

Slim pickings.

I hope they are well off and simply foolish due to wealth and haven't put themselves in financial trouble.

I have lived in Japan for 14 years. My wife is Japanese. My daughter is dual heritage. I studied an MA Japanese studies at University.

There is nothing the Japanese like more than to pretend they are politer/more civilized than other countries; in fact, it has a basis as practically government propaganda with theories such as nihonjiron. They in no way are. They are as ignorant and self absorbed as anywhere else.

Out there in internet land there is no number of people - both Japanese and Japanophile - desperate to propagate the misinformation it is only “the evil white tourist doing this”. There's plenty of it going on in this thread, for example. Don’t allow yourself to be tricked into thinking otherwise

Feels like Nintendo have abandoned this one already. They really should be adding new games/challenged every now and again. I played it fairly solidly for two weeks but have done everything now and the online element is not involving/interesting enough to bring me back to it.

Gonna wait for the Wii U version.

I have zero memory of this.

CEOs need their super yachts, peasants.
