@mesome713 Naughty stuff? You have an overactive imagination mate. Bitcoin is bitcoin. I don't care if it's google ads - if there's content that's blatantly predatory, then it's the site owner's responsibility to make sure that it's not on their website, no matter where the content is from.
@Paraka read Nestalgia’s comment. This wasn’t just the average gross-out humour, but had an underlying intelligence and wit that transcended that genre. That’s why it’s still held in such high regard and is so beloved. Maybe you have to be British to fully appreciate that - it’s decidedly British humour.
Anyone here comparing this to nickelodeon is a sure sign that they absolutely don’t understand BFD’s humour in the slightest.
@SquareOneMJ Nice! I have a drawer unit under the TV which has one drawer and one open space. I have most of my games and controllers in the drawer & the Switch & Wii U pushed right to the back of the open part. The PS4 is there too, but he doesn’t seem interested in that. Watch out for wires too - especially if they’re carrying mains! They’ll chew everything they can get hold of 😂
From the comments, there’s lots of very young people on here. Of course, that’s absolutely expected and understandable, but I wish there was a filter to block under 18’s. This is absolutely not meant as a slight to anyone here & I love the comment section - but it would be great to somehow know I’m not talking to children..
I prefer more linear games & loved sniper elite 4 so will get this. I love my Switch, bit this is the sort of game I'd want to play on my PS4. 60fps is a big factor - I tend to only play exclusives on the Switch.
I’ve never seen an alternative to the N64 stick that controls as accurately as the original. Even the Hori stick is overly sensitive, making aiming harder and more twitchy in some games. Also the article mentions that this controller is more accurate as it has a larger dead zone. Actually it’s the other way around. The original is best, you just need to get one with a tight stick - or better still, buy one new. The price is great, but Nintendo life has a habit of saying that that new products are better than the original ways to play. They said that the ultraHDMI is better than RGB+CRT for example, which is definitely not the case.
I was mildly tumescent for this, but probably won’t use it much. I love Nintendo’s inventiveness & I’m glad I bought it just to support them. For me, I found the resolution a bit too low to enjoy Mario & Zelda - it feels like playing on an N64 at best.
@Jeronan absolutely agreed - the simpler look of the in-box games look OK, but the more complex nature of BOTW & MO make the games look pretty rough in VR. I’m glad I bought the set, just to support Nintendo but it’s like looking at graphics roughly equivalent to the N64.
Very nice article. One thing I never understood through the years is people saying you’d need 6 new batteries every 3-4 hours. To do that would be crazy - you just bought 6 rechargeables and a cheap charger and never have to spend another penny on batteries. Much cheaper than the Gameboy long term. Saying that I’d still have picked the Gameboy for the games.
@beazlen1 Nice one - I must get back to original & give it another try, in NTSC of course. The overall presentation. and voiceover just have that epic feel 👍
I’m more than mildly tumescent for this - I loved 1080 and the wave race games so I’d buy this in a heartbeat. On a different note, am I the only one who preferred Blue storm to the original wave race?
@Trajan that’s why I’m hoping for a physical release for Metroid Prime trilogy. I buy all my games in physical, partly for that reason. I think we have a reasonable chance for MPT - here’s hoping!
@impurekind Absolutely agree - it's interesting how people look back at the N64 as being awful to look at. An RGB modded PAL N64 on a 25" (no bigger) CRT can look really nice.

Re: Random: "One-Line Code Fix" Resolves Super Mario 64 Smoke Bug
@FargusPelagius totally agree, I think the original programmer knew exactly what he was doing .

@BionicDodo Interesting - I think the original looks way better in motion. Horses for courses.

I actually think it looks better on the left in these images. Maybe the programmer realised the mistake but decided to leave it in as he preferred it.

I really hope Metroid prime trilogy comes as a full remake in a physical release rather than just simply uprezzed.
