@5th313ment I do not work in retail, I said 'working in retail and having someone say...'
I'm enjoying the game, as many are. You are perfectly within your rights to consider it a turd. I personally research items before buying them and understand whether or not it will suit me. I do not buy games and act shocked by its performance when it has been reported on very thoroughly, and those performace issues are not enough of an issue, personally, for me. Stay well.
@jtwrenn Where did I call people idiots? Seems like pretty practical advice to simply not purchase a game for the first few days if you're concerned about performance issues that were reported on immediately and before release.
@5th313ment it's a video game. Literally wait 3 days, you don't need to buy it day 1. Thanks for the wall of text suggesting you're not capable of this.
@KillerBOB Kind of a stupid time to insult people with pronouns in their bios, totally irrelevant and seems like you're more the one unnecessarily concerned with it.
I am really enjoying all of this 'insider' knowledge from back then, especially since this was when I was very engaged with Nintendo Power, 2004-2008 or so. I had two sets of bongos from having Donkey Konga 2 and Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. I loved both but Jungle Beat was a legit game. I enjoyed Konga 2 but always found the knockoff artists and the song choices very hilarious. I can see why people weren't fans, but it was very fun as a teen to play it with siblings.
I bought the expansion on release, just because I'm a fool. Still happy with it, especially with this announcement. The N64 games are trickling out, Animal Crossing expansion is included, and I'm very glad the MK8 tracks are included. I'm extremely excited for them.
@Nin10dood Back in 2010 my roommate, her bf and I played Mario Party 3 to death. Whichever friend was over was the 4th player and they had to fear us other three. We were tracking our wins on a scoreboard on the wall!
@liljmoore I agree. I understand the price complaints, but a lot of this seems like complaining without actually reading the details or experiencing it.
Frankly, I still consider it to be 'cheap' overall - we're simply used to an already extremely cheap NSO. It's going from $24.99 CAD to $63.99 CAD. That IS a large jump, but it's still cheap for a YEARLY subscription.
Too bad it's the final update (apparently) but at least it's impressive. Gyroids is awesome, an island is awesome, coffee shop is awesome. Only thing I think they really missed is shop upgrades...
$65 for one N64 controller here in Canada >___>. Plus tax and shipping. I think I'll find another option lol. I already have a 6 button wireless Genesis controller I use.
I'll wait until my launch Switch bites it, or I have a lot of disposable cash. Glad it's a quality unit. I play mostly docked, but still appreciate playing handheld.
In Smooth Moves, I love the one where you simply...push someone over. They're facing you and coaxing you to do it. There are three different people, and three different 'winning' animations. All of them are HILARIOUS!!! I recall kitty cats all appearing...and Mt. Fuji going off XD
@Purgatorium OeE is the third DS one. They haven't released any of the DS ones in a collection, yet, but hopefully they do. These are extremely good, on par with those ones I would say.
Can't wait to get this. Only played Aria at some point. I really hope the DS ones come at some point, I think Dawn of Souls was the first game I really got 100% on. Maybe I had more patience as a 12 year old, but I liked the grinding for souls.

@Rob3008 I work full time and have beat it rather quickly. It'll be available again too.

Re: Frustrated Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Players Are Reportedly Getting Refunds
I'm sorry, but working in retail and having someone say 'I bought this without any research at all, now I don't like it!' is extremely annoying.

Re: Frustrated Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Players Are Reportedly Getting Refunds
I mean I get frame drops constantly, let's be realistic here lol. But I knew what I was getting into and I'm having a great time.
Re: Frustrated Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Players Are Reportedly Getting Refunds
Kinda goofy to get a refund. If you want to guarantee the quality of a product, then wait a day or two before buying it.
Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With Two More Titles
Having these is bloody great. 3 is my favourite so I'm most excited for that, but this goes a far way to making NSO worth it.
Re: Review: Dragon Ball: The Breakers - Dares To Be Different From Other Dragon Balls
Enjoying on the PC. I remember DB Fighterz wait times for online on Switch being waaaayyyy too long considering how fast they are on PC.

I have this dandy thing called a Personal Computer.
Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Legend Of Zelda Game?
Just messing around at a friend's house? Link to the Past. Actually playing through myself? Link's Awakening.

@Knightrider1 I'd say screw removing references to Russia.

Yess!! Great news.
Re: Feature: Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, And Gex - The '90s Inspirations Behind 'Frogun'
Isn't the main girl pretty similar to the girl in Chibi Robo?
Re: PSA: Are Your Switch Games Disappearing? You May Have Too Many - But You Can Fix It
ugh, honestly, what a pain. like the 3DS having a max of 300 I think. Wait, I misread 2000 as 200. Meh! Not so bad lol.
Re: YouTube And Cruchyroll On Wii U Won't Be Available For Much Longer
Wii U was definitely a great entertainment platform.
Re: Random: Unique Collection Showcases GameCube Controller Prototypes
All look a little more suited for adult hands tbh
Re: Aspyr Says It's Aware Of Star Wars: KOTOR II Switch Crash Preventing Players From Completing The Game
Yeah, I was already waiting for the DLC before touching this. Weird.
Re: Star Wars: KOTOR II 'Sith Lords Restored Content DLC' Releasing In Q3 2022
This is like putting your Wario Land II cart in a gameboy color after playing it on am original gameboy! Almost lol

Re: Splatoon 2 DLC Is Now Part Of The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack
Right on, I never picked up the DLC but I got the expansion!
Re: Zelda: Majora's Mask Cutscene On Switch Apparently "More Accurate To N64" Than Wii Virtual Console Emulation
@nukatha ahhhhahahaha I will always remember my friend getting the sword upgrade after the goron race...and then it froze XD
Re: Zelda: Majora's Mask Cutscene On Switch Apparently "More Accurate To N64" Than Wii Virtual Console Emulation
VERY glad they tackled these fixes relatively quickly!

Re: Feature: 16 Tracks That Need To Be In The Mario Kart 8 DLC
DK Mountain, Waluigi Pinball and Wario Colosseum!!! MmmmM!!!!!
Re: Random: The OG Tomb Raider Looks Amazing On Game Boy Advance
As a 30 year old, I thought I'd enjoy Tomb Raider a few months back. I was wrong. I can see why Mario 64 did so well.
Re: 'Gex' The Forgotten '90s Video Game Mascot Might Be Making A Comeback
Yes!!! Please. Loved Gex 3 on N64 even though it was janky.
Re: Best Nintendo Switch Puzzle Platformers
I've got to get Treasure Tracker, Horace and Fezz at some point. I know it if very pretty, but tbh I found Gris quite boring.
Re: Feature: 10 Overlooked GameCube Gems You Must Play
You can get all of this for the low price of THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
Re: Review: Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition - Three Classics In One Shocking Package
This better get patched, yeesh. At least I have all of the old ones on Steam.
Re: Nintendo Teams Up With Christina Aguilera For Latest Switch Commercial
not into celeb culture, but it kinda looks like they actually play Switch as a family. unless they did a lot of research for the commercial lol
Re: Video: Everyone Should Play Sin & Punishment
@pikku It'd obviously be nice to map them, but I have been finding the controls just fine with a Switch Pro controller.
Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Mario Party Superstars
@Nin10dood Back in 2010 my roommate, her bf and I played Mario Party 3 to death. Whichever friend was over was the 4th player and they had to fear us other three. We were tracking our wins on a scoreboard on the wall!
Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Need Some Work
@liljmoore I agree. I understand the price complaints, but a lot of this seems like complaining without actually reading the details or experiencing it.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Need Some Work
Haven't experienced any problems with frame rate or input lag. I was impressed by the input being better on the Genesis games than the collection.
Re: Nintendo Switch Online's N64 Games Need Some Work
Didn't have a problem with the N64 MarioKart sountrack. Maybe they're pressing L to turn it on and off.
Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?
@Bustacap good to know. I've mostly been playing Phantasy Star IV so I didn't notice. I wonder if the Genesis Online games will be better.
Re: Poll: N64 And Sega Genesis Nintendo Switch Online Games Launch Today - Which Will You Play First?
I never got a chance to play through Yoshi's Story, so I'm excited for that. Very excited for Banjo Kazooie and F-Zero X once they come out.
I think Genesis games are a waste considering the Genesis collection. I got that on sale at one point.
Re: Switch OLED Model Scores 2 Out Of 10 On Screen Durability Scratch Test
I feel like people that find the original dock 'screen unfriendly' must be yanking their Switches out of the dock at a pretty aggressive angle.
Re: Oh No, Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp Has Been Delayed On Switch
I can't afford things anyhow! I'm looking forward to the game and can wait
Re: Feature: 8 Games That Missed Nintendo Hardware
It'd be so nice to have SoTN on Switch. idk about the original, but I thought the Wii NiGHTS sequel was a bad game.
Re: Random: Uh-Oh, Nintendo's Switch Online 'Expansion Pack - Overview Trailer' Is Generating A Lot Of Dislikes

Re: Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Everything Coming In The Final Free Update

Re: Switch's N64 And Sega Genesis Controllers Are Now Up For Pre-Order
$65 for one N64 controller here in Canada >___>. Plus tax and shipping. I think I'll find another option lol. I already have a 6 button wireless Genesis controller I use.
Re: Poll: What's A Fair Price For The Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack?
Obviously I'd like $5, but I assume it'll be $10. The value is far more in the N64 games than the Genesis games.
Re: Video: Digital Foundry Gives Its Assessment Of The Switch OLED Model
