Re: Random: The Switch On Phil Spencer's Shelf Was A Gift From Nintendo

Phil might have put his switch there to MAKE us think about a collab. Therefore, when it was revealed to be nothing that special, there would be less obviousness about future shelf objects and their foreshadowings.

Alternatively, he put the switch there because it's a shelf, a place where you put things.

I did think about the amiibo paywall but SS seemed to get taxed a lot more for its faults than, say, the mario 3d world port, in NL's review. 3d world got a 10 despite "performance issues in handheld bowsers fury and online", which sound like and can be substantial issues.

SS also deserves credit for the difference in quality between the port and original. Many issues have been resolved and work well (e.g. camera), unlike in other nintendo ports like mario bros u deluxe, which get little alerations.

As for your inflation point, it is correct and something that is a problem. However, SS still deserves a good score, just maybe not a 10.

You were right. Good argument.

Re: Video: Are 2D Games Worth $60?

chapuH

Most games shouldn't be $60. Games, while requiring more work, are also becoming much much more popular and therefore neither need to or should stay at $60. Higher demand will easily offset the lower revenue.

Super mario 64, the mario sports and party games (they are still considered the best of their series after all) and banjo tooie should be higher imo. Good to see F-Zero and paper mario getting recognition tho.

Mario rabbids sparks of hope for me (sequel I never knew I needed). Possibly going to do a switcheroo of super Mario party out and mario party superstars in.

And maybe if I have the money, I might bag metroid dread, though I've never really thought about metroid for me (yeah I know...) .
