Re: Random: Witness The Star Trek DS9 Intro In Glorious 64-Bit, Zelda: Ocarina Of Time Style

@CANOEberry There was a massive poop storm a few years back because they changed the rules about fan content and drastically altered what they could and couldn't do. It not only caused a bunch of in-progress projects to get C&Ded but also existing and established fan content got put in the crosshairs.

They backed down a bit, saving the existing content but still crippled the new stuff. Time was Trek fans could produce entire seasons of content, now they are limited to very short films.

Re: 'Switch Pro' Trends On Social Media After Massive Nvidia Leak Reignites Speculation

I think a detail a lot of people miss when Nintendo talks about the Switch's life span is that it also includes the time it co-exists with its follow up. The 3DS lived alongside the Switch for what 3 years, that'd be a out the third of its life

I also wouldn't be surprised if these aren't firm "years" but more life states like new console - prime - old console.

I really don't see the Switch existing as Nintendos main console once third party support for X1/Ps4 generation dries up, but I can see the lite, like the N3DSXL, living on for years after the next console hits.

Re: Random: Doomguy And Isabelle Are Together At Last In Smash Bros.

I kinda hope this never dies, and just becomes a weird constant thing in gaming. "there always something behind waterfalls" "when given an obvious path, the collectable is down the other" "leaning helps you steer" and "Doom guy if BFFS with Isabella"

Now I'm going to jump to Youtube and listen to the DOOM Crossing sony

Re: #ThankYouSakurai Gains Traction On Social Media Ahead Of The Final Smash Bros. Fighter Reveal

I love this, it's a fantastic change of pace. The guy works so hard, but can't help but feel it's going to get toxic real quick when the final slot is "wasted" by not having _______ and things will return to "normal".

I hope Nintendo lets Sakurai make whatever he wants for his next project, and that also includes projects like makes a blanket fort and playing games for 6 months.

Re: Sakurai Invites Everyone To Watch Smash's Final Reveal, Whether You Play The Game Or Not

@AlienX I've just assumed Ultimate is being used as a big end of an era thing, just throwing every character ever at it and then what ever comes next is going to be some "evolution" of the game and with a much smaller roster (with hopefully) different moves (so every character is technically new".
There was some instantly dismissed because its clearly BS Redit rumour that Ultimate would be Sakurai's last Smash and the "new guy" was pushing for a more narrative approach.

Re: "Dreams Come True": Chris Pratt Talks About His New Role As Super Mario

Charles is Mario's voice and will always be.

That being said, I still remember that 3DS video where he did the whole thing in character... It was not great. No-fault on his part, some decided they wanted the "full Mario" and that was the outcome.

So I 100% get casting someone else, with Pratt if this was pre-Lego movie I would be concerned (speaking exclusively about his ability) but I suspect it's doable. Honestly, Miyamoto's involvement gives me a little pause ATM.

Re: Random: 'Switch Vs Steam Deck' Memes Are A Thing Now, Apparently

abe_hikura

Dont get me wrong, I think hardware wise the steam deck is cool but I get the feeling its going to be a pain to live with. I just have images of me 6 months down the line swearing at it as I wage a fiddly battle trying to balance the new game's performance against the system's limitations.

Dont get me wrong, its something Valve could very easily fix on their end but we're still waiting on the other things in the store they was going to fix, other than trying to police boobs.
