@NintendoWife lol you probably don’t get it. People were not drawn to newer things because HD gaming was already out in 2006 with ps3! And Skyward was SD still in 2011- Sony had had HD for 5 years by then. So people were not drawn to HD by then, they were already used to it as a norm. Imagine Skyward Sword releasing at that time- it failed because Nintendo was too behind for too long and the HD was a big jump more than ps4/5 today I would say, and while to some people the motion controls were amazing, some couldn’t learn it and hated the game for its own most unique feature.
@NintendoWife sorry but you are seeing things litttle too simply- N64 and GC didn’t sell that many consoles so you can’t blame low selling numbers to their late games and how popular was Paper Mario? Even I skipped it because I was getting older and more cool adult games where more on PS- Skyward Sword-which I really like actually- did fail-not because it’s a bad game- but Nintendo was stuck in SD gaming where PS and Xbox had whole gen od HD games that looked cooler. Even I skipped it first because PS had Arkham games for example. Also, some people are not able to learn motion controls well and that hurt the game too! For me personally Skyward Sword and Metroid Prime 3, and RE4 Wii were my top favourite motion control games and I never had an issue but seeing how some gamers give it hate just because they couldn’t handle it…. It’s a different story so I wouldn’t count Skyward as a failure at the end of Wii life cycle- it was a failure of Nintendo to be stuck for ages in SD gaming and unfortunately some gamers are just lame and give hate to something that they can’t do-well if people don’t like motion controls-don’t buy MC games- it’s a shame because Nintendo is the only company that tries to offer unique experiences, and gets backlash for it-which is terrible. Hope you got my point.
@NintendoWife can you give one example where a popular game would fail launching late in a life cycle?! I disagree, that’s why every single Rockstar game launches this way- they always sell the most. Also these games will most likely be cross gen but my main point is-it will 100% need to be available on the current Switch, and playable on next gen too. These old games don’t need more powerful hardware anyways. If a full remake is in question- I would argue it’s possible to leave it for next gen, but more likely with Twilight Princess- which could be remade from ground up using the WII U tech demo, which never saw the light of day- in that case I could imaging the current Switch would not be able to offer such detailed graphics. Still, for Windwaker HD-no need of more power so it will release more likely on this Switch too-but when? Can’t be when people start to loose interest with Switch and now The Switch is still riding on a hype and marketing of TOTK- so that would play well into their cards. I would suggest a release within a year.
Not a next gen release for sure! Switch has 150milion user base- next gen might never reach those numbers and if… It’s still gonna make far more money if it releases within a year.
@Pickettfury please don’t misunderstand, I have strong opinion against any entity that has no understanding and history in gaming, but they influence the industry through inverstors who don’t care for good games-but try monetising anything they can! So Tencent is just just one of those entities.
@gamering not sure we can compare or if my arguments rely to yours. Suda makes very average games where some had great style but lacked everywhere else, plus he is crying for money so I feel like he would work for anyone. Kamya on the other hand is someone who managed to deliver couple of the most creative games that I would rank in the 90-93 percent. Different league of game developers. As I said Tencent is cheap money hungry corporate that has zero history or tradition in gaming this more likely to focus solely on profit- forcing developers to regular release dates and I strongly dislike companies like this sticking their noses where they don’t belong, because they have super negative impact on gaming. I might be wrong but I have lived in China for over 3years and know the mentality quite well so I would not trust Tencent-just my feeling. This all would let me more believe that once Tencent purchased significant shares of Platinum- Kamiya was forced to go in a direction that’s far away from his creative goals- and this is so sad-that’s why he left Capcom and established Platinum…I really wish him the best because he made some of the best action games ever- RE2, Viewtiful Joe, Bayonetta, Wonderful 101- all these games have great style and and some of the best and most creative/unique gameplay to date! Best of luck and success to him!!!!!
@gamering I don’t believe he would ever join tencent- inexperienced money seeking Chinese giant that’s far from being creative and I believe it was Tencent why he left Platinum because they bought Platinum shares and wanted profit. Those wealthy investors want regular income, not a picky director who wants to passionately make great games.
This is bull crap!!!! Damn you Konami for this lazy port! One of the top expected releases and you ruin it!!!!! These are ps2 games- Switch could easily run 60fps!!! Burn in Hell Konami!!!! Buuuuurn!!!!
NOT Acceptable!!!!! They must release complete games on cartridge at release! Not constantly rely on later fixes and updates. So the games they sell are half baked products!!! Anybody agrees?
@electrolite77 that’s way too naive way of seeing it. What you are saying is that even though there were issues, just because you manage to get by it’s ok?!!! So passing school with medium or low grades is acceptable for you? This was the first hybrid system- issues were there, and most of them affected gameplay. If you blindly wanna defend Nintendo, you must be a simple minded child. Last gen was a lesson and issues needs to be fixed- not repeated- which would happen with your approach. Switch was severely underpowered and even ps3 games struggled with frame rate, more power is easier for developers too. Pop in can be very annoying and draw distance needs to improve- what you can’t see can cause issues, right?! And it’s not ok when first party release title for brand new console already is choking itself! Joycons are cheap piece of crap-next gen needs high quality analogue sticks, and cartridge storage is a joke! People want the game they buy on the cartridge- completely, not partially! Also you don’t look far ahead! Imagine what games will be launching 3-4 years from now on ps5- and Nintendo will need to have a system that handles newer ports that run without issues in the future. These are facts and if Nintendo wants to succeed with next gen, it needs to fix past issues. Those who don’t learn from the past are forced to experience it again, and making the same mistakes in new generation would ruin Nintendo! Because even some issue went to legal courts! Nintendo can’t afford to make the same mistakes twice!
Xbox is not a successful console compared to Switch and PS so of course they wish to push their sales. But they can just Dream! Microsoft would need to do something substantial to compensate the gap of success, like offer real next gen Nintendo console production! I know the trend might be to go full online so there is no need for hardware anymore, but games are a big deal for collectors, and if the day come where we just rent and can’t even own the games we pay for, that’s the end of gaming for many and I won’t support that!
@kobashi100 sorry man, but wrong reasoning?! I don’t think so. RE4 struggled and had to get downgraded for ps2. Obviously Cancom wanted to show off and it would be just natural they would release on more powerful hardware. Why the exclusivity stoped is a separate issue. Can you show me where did I say any reason why camp on cut the exclusivity? Plus learn to use comas- starting with NO can make it look weird. And learn to read between the lines. Naturally nobody is expecting a portable ps5 if even don’t can’t do it. But it should be at least on a level between ps4 Pro and ps5, with computing power to handle complex situations, optimised rendering distance to avoid pop in and stable 60fps even for ported 3rd party games. If you want a weak system with issues like the current Switch then please stay quiet! We want a quality next gen system.
@QuickSilver88 the dock boost might work but the problem might be that the gap between handheld and tv mode would be too big and some game might end up playable just in tv mode. Over clocking is a temporary solution but don’t forget overheating will impact the internal components and their lifetime, so long term that would not be an ideal. For some people who don’t want to buy two new gen consoles and already own ps4, if Switch was just comparable to ps4 it’s hard to justify the purchase too if you are getting the same level tech-of course it more about games, but I just wish Nintendo would go a little more overboard to at least make sure all next gen games with have 60fps at least. Also this will be the last Nintendo system I will buy, so I kinda wish they went out with a bang:/
@QuickSilver88 come on, I am not arguing against you, but I hate when some of my favourite games run much worse on Switch! Yes Switch got some great ports, but that was a huge minority plus these games only ran 30fps. Not all developers put all their effort into making a good port, and with more power it gets much easier! I don’t really care for graphics that much but look at things like low storage and how physical games lack content because of storage limitations. Of course balancing a system with good battery life is hard, and naturally art counts for more than textures, I just don’t want history repeated and see that games on switch are severely downgraded over other consoles. I would not mind if the graphics all turn into cell shading to preserve power, but I want all games to run smooth 60fps, and no constant pop-in! Also want Nintendo to manage to fit all content on Cartridges!!!! It’s so disgusting to sell physical games that have a fraction of the content on the physical media! I don’t care for 4/8K, that’s for kids, but even first party Nintendo games had issues already at release!!!! That shows that always relying on couple gen old tech can backfire! I also dont want PlayStation but would like to see that Nintendo can handle really high quality ports and no excuses there.
@kobashi100 also learn to adequately respond. If you say ps4 specs are sufficient you must be a kid. switch is only this successful because it had huge third party support. Now less and less games with be coming out on ps4 so that would doom the Switch. It needs to be able to handle at least ps5 games to run smoothly and considering how many people hate 30fps in many games and low draw distance- Switch 2 needs more power to stay relevant and be as successful as Switch. Even some ps3 games on current switch have trouble running ok, plus ps4 is 10 years old!
@kobashi100 I don’t know how old you are, but RE4 was Gamecube exclusive first- if you are fur against you obviously have zero knowledge about gaming history. Also, Gamecube was more powerful than PS2 until X box came out- but Xbox came much later so it wasn’t really same gen competitor. Also not sure if you understand economy, but people with lamb thinking like you will always pull the creativity and market down- no insult- I know reality might be different, but I would bet that if enough population demanded a powerful hardware and was willing to pay- Nintendo would release stronger hardware. It would make more sense- imagine how many people actually buy each iteration?! So in one generation people easily spend more than 1000,- USD for N console! Why not price it 500,- and get a really powerful system! If you like underpowered consoles than stay quiet please, I am only writing this to people that would like the same as me- and more people -more influence- everything is about monetization and marketing-nothing is impossible if there is demand.
I want a killer Nintendo System!!!!on par with old ps4?!!!That’s not enough! Give us a proper machine that’s on par with ps5! I wanna experience some next gen gaming too but won’t buy ps5 pro. PlayStation had ps4 then ps4 Pro, PS5 and now PS5 Pro, so ps4 today is way too behind in tech! I would rather pay 500-600 even 700, for new Switch once in 7 years than all the stupid iterations that make zero difference overall. Give us a system that kicks Steam Deck right in the balls and that starts crying like a puppy! We Want a killer adult badass Super Nintendo console!!!! Anyone with me? I want to repeat the era when Nintendo had the most powerful console for some time and exclusive third party games like RE4 launched first on Nintendo because it was the more powerful system!!!!!!
@SilverM yeah that sucks. Wish Level 5 would make a new game that would be a true successor- the closest game to Dark Cloud was probably the first Ni No Kuni.
@Switch_Pro if you claim that a mere port is worth the same money as a full remake that costs probably 10x more to develop(new artists, programmers, gameplay designers, level designers, art style/graphics designers, you must be a child who doesn’t understand economy at all, because for a port you only adapt the code to slightly different specs-otherwise they would need to remake it from ground up. Learn to think twice before you post and ridicule yourself.
@TheMegaMarshtomp I would prefer if there was a sad ending too really appreciate Zelda’s sacrifice, and then have some puzzling side quests with the ruins where Zelda describes throughout the ruins a possible way to turn her back that only She knew but wouldn’t say it to anyone so that Ganondorf wouldn’t know. It would be a fun story quest still even after finishing the main boss!
The only solid title was Contra,some good gamecube remasters, Tomb Raider, ok,… but it’s clear Switch is done! They are scraping the bottom of the barrel for a second time! The weakest Direct I remember. Also Prince ofPersia looks like they copied the engine and gameplay from Metroid Dread and just gave it different coat-the game doesn’t have anything unique about it! Really super disappointing-some gamers are adults!!! If only they had some bundles like Twilight Princess and Windwaker OR Metrpid Prime 2+3. This was boring to watch!
What a pointless question when all characters play the same! I don’t like Yoshi isn’t a power up, and that it makes the game even easier with him. Why do games degrade? Are we gonna make games so even IQ60 people can play them? Disgusting trend to adapt everything to everyone so we can all degrade as a society. Better if everyone can handle the same task than making smaller percentage of people challenged and more skilled. Money is changing games too much! Profit is more important than challenging gameplay!
@OFFICIALMichi I think it would be so much better if Zelda is still a dragon at the end, and if Players continued playing after reaching the end, maybe some secret caves could hold ancient scripts on how to reverse the Draconification and we could revert her form post credits. This way the draconification lost some impact but also agree with one of you saying that Zelda didn’t know she might transform back so from her point of view it was a huge step anyway.
@MonadoBoy I think the core story was great , but the repeated story sections after each main boss was stupid. Also Dragon transformation was sooo easy and boring, and the Zelda sacrifice lost meaning after they brought her back! They could have at least make that into a secret ending only if the player solves some riddles throughout the story.
@Zeldo pay attention more- mainly for such an amazing game. It has an amazing story, except for some repeated cutscenes. Great trowbacks to Ocarina too!
@TheMegaMarshtomp the fight wasn’t bad, but i wish there was a mid fight throwback to Shadow Ganon fight from Ocarina, or more challenge in general, and the Dragon Part was super disappointing- it felt like a different game- Zero Challenge compared to other Ganon transformations in other games.
Finally a polished and finished game that released in a complete package!!!! I hate when games are released unfinished on purpose so they can squeeze more money through DLC.
There has to be new F Zero for new Super Switch. Mario Kart has yet to unveil last dlc and new MK is out of picture for next gen Nintendo system and they need a new fast trendy cool looking racer to demonstrate the system’s power.
It looks solid but seems focused on kids and general audiences. I hope there will be at least 3 bonus worlds with really crazy hard platforming for older fans and veterans of the series for people who want to push their limits and really challenge what’s possible with all the new skills/ transformations. Even Super Mario 3D World has multiple new worlds with increased difficulty but it’s still not too hard compared to Mario Maker 2 custom levels. Hope they satisfy all fans!
Konami is so damn lazy!!!! These games ran 60fps 20 years ago already on ancient hardware. Switch could wipe ass with it. And we want at least 1 game on the cartridge- MGS3!!!!! How dare Konami release a cartridge with no games on it?!!!!
The most disappointing is the lack of any content on physical cartridge- at the very least - they Should put MGS3 the origin story on the cartridge!!!!!! I don’t want to buy piece of plastic with Zero Content!!!!! Give us at least 1 game on the cartridge Konami!!!!
Rockstar are greedy thief’s for asking 50,- for a plain port. Don’t forget Capcom charged 60,- for Resident Evil full REMAKE!!!!!! This is a mere lazy port that’s worth maybe 20,- dollars the most! Don’t let these companies trick you with their bull crap digital marketing. These games are still selling for around 10,- USD in second hand ps3 shops. And this version lacks multiplayer!!!!! Burn Rockstar for your laziness and greed! I used to love their games but new generation of developers want a ton of money for zero effort! That won’t be tolerated by loyal gamers!
Most people forget that everyone’s attention is on powerful hardware which negatively impacts the direction of gaming- everyone wants better textures, faster frame rates, but I thinks nothing compares to great artstyle( don’t mix it up with sharp realistic graphics) and well designed world and gameplay. Most games today are released unfinished and I feel that’s where Nintendo Shines- I gave up on PlayStation this gen because I feel Nintendo kept releasing much higher quality first party games that are more fun as well- and that’s what counts the most- good games. These companies can release a million copies of switch, but they won’t have the games that are top notch.
Yeah we all need a remake of Ocarina and Majors- or create a game that makes the two into a one game. Beside Link has blue eyes and is left handed! This actor is a solid fit for Luffy, but not for Link at all!!!!
Simple Bull?£&@, if RE4 full remake cost 60,- how can a two generation old game cost 50,- when a second hand ps3 version costs maybe 10,- USD? And this is not a remake, only a port! This game was s worth 20,-USD max 30,- and that would be quite overpriced already!
Old game that’s worth 10,-. It’s a port, not remaster so definitely not worth 50,-. I would consider that even 30,- is slightly overpriced, but I would pay 20-30,-. If they have released a double package- RDR1 and GTA4 for 50,-, I would get that right away! This is lazy effort and a thievery! Also if Resident Evil 4 remake costs 60,- and that a full rework, how does this justify almost the same price for a port. It’s a pure nonesense!!!!
50 for a port is not ok! I will pay 30,-. It’s an old game and we should consider how much old games sell for. The ps3 game would cost like 10,- dollars today. They put zero effort remastering it, so 50,- can’t be defended at all. Greedy lazy Rockstar!

Give us a system that kicks Steam Deck right in the balls and that starts crying like a puppy! We Want a killer adult badass Super Nintendo console!!!! Anyone with me? I want to repeat the era when Nintendo had the most powerful console for some time and exclusive third party games like RE4 launched first on Nintendo because it was the more powerful system!!!!!!
Re: Level-5 Premieres Multiple Trailers For Its Upcoming Switch Games
@mlt Ni No Kuni was great. I hope Dekapolice will be another of their best games. Fingers crossed! Have you finished NNK2?
Re: Level-5 To Premiere Multiple Switch Game Trailers This Weekend
@SilverM yeah that sucks. Wish Level 5 would make a new game that would be a true successor- the closest game to Dark Cloud was probably the first Ni No Kuni.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Red Dead Redemption Are In (Switch)
@Switch_Pro if you claim that a mere port is worth the same money as a full remake that costs probably 10x more to develop(new artists, programmers, gameplay designers, level designers, art style/graphics designers, you must be a child who doesn’t understand economy at all, because for a port you only adapt the code to slightly different specs-otherwise they would need to remake it from ground up. Learn to think twice before you post and ridicule yourself.
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@TheMegaMarshtomp I would prefer if there was a sad ending too really appreciate Zelda’s sacrifice, and then have some puzzling side quests with the ruins where Zelda describes throughout the ruins a possible way to turn her back that only She knew but wouldn’t say it to anyone so that Ganondorf wouldn’t know. It would be a fun story quest still even after finishing the main boss!
Re: Level-5 To Premiere Multiple Switch Game Trailers This Weekend
Why nobody mentions Dark Chronicle- that’s their best game- why don’t they port it to Switch?!!!!!
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Nintendo Direct, Then?
The only solid title was Contra,some good gamecube remasters, Tomb Raider, ok,… but it’s clear Switch is done! They are scraping the bottom of the barrel for a second time! The weakest Direct I remember. Also Prince ofPersia looks like they copied the engine and gameplay from Metroid Dread and just gave it different coat-the game doesn’t have anything unique about it! Really super disappointing-some gamers are adults!!! If only they had some bundles like Twilight Princess and Windwaker OR Metrpid Prime 2+3. This was boring to watch!
Re: Rumour: 'Switch 2' Gamescom Demo Supposedly Had Zelda: BOTW Running At 4K 60FPS
I wouldn’t mind paying 600,- usd for new Nintendo Switch that would be docked on par with ps5 pro.

The skin doesn’t even look like Van Damme lol!!!!
Re: Poll: Who Will You Be Playing As In Super Mario Bros. Wonder?
What a pointless question when all characters play the same! I don’t like Yoshi isn’t a power up, and that it makes the game even easier with him. Why do games degrade? Are we gonna make games so even IQ60 people can play them? Disgusting trend to adapt everything to everyone so we can all degrade as a society. Better if everyone can handle the same task than making smaller percentage of people challenged and more skilled. Money is changing games too much! Profit is more important than challenging gameplay!
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@OFFICIALMichi I think it would be so much better if Zelda is still a dragon at the end, and if Players continued playing after reaching the end, maybe some secret caves could hold ancient scripts on how to reverse the Draconification and we could revert her form post credits. This way the draconification lost some impact but also agree with one of you saying that Zelda didn’t know she might transform back so from her point of view it was a huge step anyway.
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@BrazillianCara that doesn’t need any explanation, no?!!!
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@MonadoBoy I think the core story was great , but the repeated story sections after each main boss was stupid. Also Dragon transformation was sooo easy and boring, and the Zelda sacrifice lost meaning after they brought her back! They could have at least make that into a secret ending only if the player solves some riddles throughout the story.
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@Zeldo pay attention more- mainly for such an amazing game. It has an amazing story, except for some repeated cutscenes. Great trowbacks to Ocarina too!
Re: Video: It's Finally Time To Talk About Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom's Ending
@TheMegaMarshtomp the fight wasn’t bad, but i wish there was a mid fight throwback to Shadow Ganon fight from Ocarina, or more challenge in general, and the Dragon Part was super disappointing- it felt like a different game- Zero Challenge compared to other Ganon transformations in other games.
Re: New Interview With Zelda Boss Suggests There Are No Plans For TOTK DLC
Finally a polished and finished game that released in a complete package!!!! I hate when games are released unfinished on purpose so they can squeeze more money through DLC.
Re: Working On F-Zero GX Taught Producer Toshihiro Nagoshi How To "Satisfy A Fanbase"
There has to be new F Zero for new Super Switch. Mario Kart has yet to unveil last dlc and new MK is out of picture for next gen Nintendo system and they need a new fast trendy cool looking racer to demonstrate the system’s power.
Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of The Super Mario Bros. Wonder Direct Showcase?
It looks solid but seems focused on kids and general audiences. I hope there will be at least 3 bonus worlds with really crazy hard platforming for older fans and veterans of the series for people who want to push their limits and really challenge what’s possible with all the new skills/ transformations. Even Super Mario 3D World has multiple new worlds with increased difficulty but it’s still not too hard compared to Mario Maker 2 custom levels. Hope they satisfy all fans!

Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 And 3 Will Have Lower Frame Rates On Switch, Konami Confirms
Konami is so damn lazy!!!! These games ran 60fps 20 years ago already on ancient hardware. Switch could wipe ass with it. And we want at least 1 game on the cartridge- MGS3!!!!! How dare Konami release a cartridge with no games on it?!!!!
Re: Hands On: Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Vol. 1 Could Be So Much More, But Isn't
The most disappointing is the lack of any content on physical cartridge- at the very least - they Should put MGS3 the origin story on the cartridge!!!!!! I don’t want to buy piece of plastic with Zero Content!!!!! Give us at least 1 game on the cartridge Konami!!!!
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of Red Dead Redemption Are In (Switch)
Rockstar are greedy thief’s for asking 50,- for a plain port. Don’t forget Capcom charged 60,- for Resident Evil full REMAKE!!!!!! This is a mere lazy port that’s worth maybe 20,- dollars the most! Don’t let these companies trick you with their bull crap digital marketing. These games are still selling for around 10,- USD in second hand ps3 shops. And this version lacks multiplayer!!!!! Burn Rockstar for your laziness and greed! I used to love their games but new generation of developers want a ton of money for zero effort! That won’t be tolerated by loyal gamers!
Re: Surprise Surprise, Lenovo's Leaked Handheld Looks Like A Switch
Most people forget that everyone’s attention is on powerful hardware which negatively impacts the direction of gaming- everyone wants better textures, faster frame rates, but I thinks nothing compares to great artstyle( don’t mix it up with sharp realistic graphics) and well designed world and gameplay. Most games today are released unfinished and I feel that’s where Nintendo Shines- I gave up on PlayStation this gen because I feel Nintendo kept releasing much higher quality first party games that are more fun as well- and that’s what counts the most- good games. These companies can release a million copies of switch, but they won’t have the games that are top notch.
Re: Random: One Piece's Netflix Star Would "Love" To Play Zelda: Wind Waker
Yeah we all need a remake of Ocarina and Majors- or create a game that makes the two into a one game. Beside Link has blue eyes and is left handed! This actor is a solid fit for Luffy, but not for Link at all!!!!
Re: Metroid Dread Developer Has "Two Large Undisclosed Titles" In The Works
I wish for Super Metroid remake and Lords of Shadow collection!
Re: Take-Two CEO Defends Red Dead Redemption's $50 Price Tag, Says It's "Commercially Accurate"
Simple Bull?£&@, if RE4 full remake cost 60,- how can a two generation old game cost 50,- when a second hand ps3 version costs maybe 10,- USD? And this is not a remake, only a port! This game was s worth 20,-USD max 30,- and that would be quite overpriced already!
Re: Talking Point: Will You Pay $50 For Red Dead Redemption On Switch?
Old game that’s worth 10,-. It’s a port, not remaster so definitely not worth 50,-. I would consider that even 30,- is slightly overpriced, but I would pay 20-30,-. If they have released a double package- RDR1 and GTA4 for 50,-, I would get that right away! This is lazy effort and a thievery! Also if Resident Evil 4 remake costs 60,- and that a full rework, how does this justify almost the same price for a port. It’s a pure nonesense!!!!
Re: Take-Two CEO Defends Red Dead Redemption's $50 Price Tag, Says It's "Commercially Accurate"
50 for a port is not ok! I will pay 30,-. It’s an old game and we should consider how much old games sell for. The ps3 game would cost like 10,- dollars today. They put zero effort remastering it, so 50,- can’t be defended at all. Greedy lazy Rockstar!
