Re: Penny's Big Breakaway Frame Rate Update Now Live On Switch

bahooney

@Ryu_Niiyama right there with you, I think Penny's is one of the best indie games I've played in a while and I couldn't even notice the lower frame rate. It doesn't impact my fun with the title or how much I truly love its visuals.

The constant graphics/4K/framerate elitism within the gaming community is one of my biggest pet peeves. So many gamers blacklist a title as "unplayable" because it doesn't align with their standards of graphical fidelity. I couldn't care less what a game looks like, I just want to have fun.

Re: Rare's Cancelled N64 Project Dinosaur Planet Has Been Leaked Online

It's grinding my gears how many people don't understand that this game was, indeed, cancelled.

MOTHER 3 for N64 wasn't released, it transitioned to the GBA and many, many elements were lost in that transition. It's the exact same situation here. By default, the true vision of the original game was cancelled in that transition and there are many aspects that are preserved here for our eyes for the very first time. It is for all intents and purposes a cancelled game. This is not Star Fox Adventures, this is 100% Dinosaur Planet. It's not a hard distinction to grasp.

Re: Looks Like Pokémon Sword And Shield's Physical DLC Bundle Will Cost $90

bahooney

I remember when the initial article announcing this release went out, there was a boatload of comments from people saying "they better not charge $60!! I'm going to feel ripped off!" or "I bought the DLC already! I would've waited for this release since it will be less expensive!" Now those same people are upset that Nintendo is charging the base cost for the game as well as the base cost of the DLC. You lot are genuinely insatiable. These things take years to develop, and as a business, they need to make their earnings for the product they provide. It's not rocket science. Nintendo fans are never happy. Complain if they charge full price, complain if they sell at a discount.

Re: GC Loader Ditches The GameCube's DVD Drive So You Can Run Games From An SD Card

@mesome713 Thank you so much for posting this article. Just think of all the money Nintendo would lose if people started making copies of their own GameCube games! It would be one thing if they didn't make it easy to access the vast majority of their award-winning back catalog spanning multiple generations of players and hardware, then I could condone this act. But since they have made all of their heavy-hitters of the last nearly 40 years readily accessible, this is just outrageous!!

...Wait a minute.

Re: Game Freak's Little Town Hero Physical Edition Delayed

@Yosher Seeing as how SwSh had the highest-selling launch of any Pokemon game ever, was met with rave reviews, and continues to have millions of players every day... you are in the loud minority of feeling disappointed. Move on with your life and let people enjoy things.

Re: Sakurai Discusses Two N64 Prototype Projects, One Of Which Led To Super Smash Bros.

bahooney

For the people laughably writing this off as "old news," we knew about Dragon King, but there was previously no knowledge about this second prototype that controlled like Resident Evil. There is much more detail directly from the source, PushDustin's Twitter. These interviews and translations are not only hard work, but important to preserving video game history. Show some respect!

Re: Japanese Charts: Pokémon Sword And Shield Break 2 Million Sales, Switch Sales Rise

bahooney

@BenAV Oh look, someone that probably hasn't even touched the games and has solely relied on hearsay on the internet to make a decision about their quality. I get it. I got wrapped up in the negative press and I will humbly admit I was wrong, especially because I actually played them. This is the most fun I've had with a Pokémon game since I was a kid, Dexit notwithstanding.

Re: Trademark Application Has Fans Dreaming of the Nintendo 64 Classic Mini

bahooney

I know there's literally no way of this happening... but seeing as how Star Fox 2 is getting released, and we never expected that an unreleased game from 20+ years ago would see the light of day... what if they somehow put a build of the N64 Mother 3 game on the Japanese N64 Classic? Stranger things have happened. Again, I sincerely doubt it. This is in no way me even holding my breath about it, but it sure is nice to dream. Honestly I would probably do a canon ball off of a bridge as I would die a happy man.
