@Pavil have to agree, glad someone can find enjoyment in mastering an old game but i would rather spend that time, you know, playing games myself rather than watching someone.
If he is one of the very best in his field why shouldn't he be so well paid?? Or do we all expect Activision to stop operating like a business and start working like an artists commune making games as a charitable endeavour. A lot of gamers seem to think being fans of games entitles them to tell these companies how they should be running themselves.
I grew up in the age of the instruction manual and I honestly think I have never read a single one in 25 years. I wouldn't buy a manual separately even for a favourite game but a more substantial guide I would consider yes.
Have to give credit to the guy for being one of the first black developers to take advantage of this current woke culture to get his game some attention, doubt it will translate to any sales and the game will be forgotten within a few weeks of release mind you.
I love picross games but it doesn't feel right for me playing them on Switch in either handheld or docked mode so I'm just going to stick to the few 3DS entries I havent played yet.
This wasn't much fun back in the day but it'll still sell because anything with a hint of nostalgia does these days regardless of whether it is good or not. Most people will play the first hour, think huh this is neat and then never touch it again.
@Rhaoulos its pretty awesome isn't it mind you though there's probably a whole bunch of fellas on a Japanese site right now saying the same thing about Western made games and wanting them localised for Japan.
I know someone who buys nothing but Just Dance and fitness games every year. There not even trying to get fit they just enjoy that physical interaction over sitting their with a controller. Everyone and their dog could tell her this isn't great value but she will still buy it and still love it and you know who are we to tell her otherwise. Ubisoft knows their market, there not trying to sell this to you and me and there making enough money selling to women like her so i say we just leave them to it.
Can't blame Sega for not wanting to put more money and effort in to the Sega Ages range when its titles like Sonic that generate the most sales regardless of great responses and popularity on social media.
This is going to be one of those games that everyone is going to be briefly interested in hearing about the novel design but never actually buy and it will end up bankrupting the company. Cant convince me otherwise.
@SimonCucho imagine if they had to try and play a few rounds of Goldeneye split screen on an old CRT. Believe me gaming has come a long way in the last thirty years i don't think there is anything that could be considered 'unplayable' from a FPS/resolution point of view in this say and age but NL loves to put these kinds of articles out get some easy clicks from the snobs.
Truth is this will still sell millions regardless of what some trying to hard elitists think because Nintendo are smart enough to know there opinion ultimately means nothing in the grand scheme of things and there are millions of gamers who will enjoy this game.
Scott Wozniak is without a doubt my all time favourite youtuber. We share the same kind of sense of humour, the same kind of background and the same kind of opinions on most things. I really wish I was cool enough to be in his gang.
Am i the only one who is going to miss trawling through comment sections to see how many times, and in what way, Coach_A will try to shift discussion towards Risk of Rain 2??
So many happy memories of playing all of these games back in the day. Kind of wish we could get another on Switch, keep it simple and limit it to guitars and a mix of classic hits and I'd be happy.

Re: Aerial_Knight's Never Yield Dashes Onto Switch In May
Looks pretty average to me, surprised it was given such a prominent position.

@Nymos that would likely be a placeholder date commonly used for preorders that don't have a confirmed release window yet.
