@Giygas_95 Haha, glad to see someone else with my gutter humor!

I never thought I would be listening to Alex telling me about how maximum sensitivity is desirable.

@brunojenso I suppose that makes sense but I don't have too much sympathy for people who don't educate themselves before making a purchase. It wasn't exactly a secret that Rime was a disaster. Ignorance is not a great excuse. And if one was caught by surprise this time hopefully one would learn to take the 5 minutes to do a bit of research next time one is thinking of buying a game.

@brunojenso I just don't understand that line of thinking. If I purchase a game at a certain cost KNOWING that there are problems with it then I have made the judgement call that I want the game in spite of the problems with it and that TO ME it's worth the money. The games's worth to me shouldn't decrease just because there is a sale sometime later. All games go on sale at some point. People choose to buy games at full price because they want to play them RIGHT NOW! There's nothing wrong with that but it's not productive to be upset when the game inevitably goes on sale. All that being said I'm still not getting this game. Sounds like a total disaster and there's plenty out there on the switch without these sort of problems.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE On amazon the price for both games on the Wii U is $89.05

@therealgamer Lucky you for getting to play this on the Wii U. But the fact is that most of us don't have that system. This is my first Nintendo system since N64 and I'm excited to see what all the fuss is about. I preordered from amazon and got both games for less than $50. Seems like a pretty good deal to me!

Civ II on my XP vm, BotW, Metroid Prime: Federation force, Pokemon Yellow (3ds version)

There are 10 types of people - those who think this is speed running and those who don't.

mean == 10.18
median == 12
mode == 13 or 20

It's most likely we'll see it between 10 and 13 days from the direct mini.

I'm relatively new to the concept of Nintendo Directs but this one seemed pretty good to a newbie like me. I haven't had a Nintendo Home Console since the 64 and I'm loving my switch! I feel a bit bad for people who owned the wii-u since there are so many ports but for someone like me the ports are welcome!

I mean to each their own but this is super weird. It makes me wonder what happened to her to make her this way.

@Mart1ndo You can just look at the graphics to see that what @SLIGEACH_EIRE says is true. Not really surprising that 3D games on older systems don't age well. That doesn't mean it won't be fun just that they look super old due to the fact that 3D was just barely possible at that point in time.

Huntdown's trailer is pretty epic!

I was way too late to the Skyrim on Skyrim party. Comments did not disappoint!

Edited: Grammar and spelling.

@Bunkerneath @SLIGEACH_EIRE Haha, I noticed that as well.

@Monado_X Good point.

@Monado_X Why can't you "draw" on the touchscreen on the switch?

@Roam85 RESIST!!!

@SLIGEACH_EIRE @timson72 not sarcastic. I frequently enjoy @SLIGEACH_EIRE comments tearing something down! It's just funny to see something positive from him.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE I almost fell out of my seat seeing you positive about something

@JaxonH It's not just about price. I'm sure plenty of people would have dropped $400 for a version with significantly more power but the chip simply didn't exist - at least not from NVidia. Nintendo went for the most powerful SoC available at the time in order to ship the system in march. With NVidia's current roadmap I would expect a hardware upgrade within a year that will bring the Switch in striking distance of PS4/Xbone. Of course that will cause some level of fragmentation which is unfortunate but I'm very interested to see how this plays out. If Nintendo offers a decent upgrade incentive it could be a game changer.

@John_Mcclane "You don't think there is $60 bucks of game and content in there?
You don't have to buy every game that comes out you know."

I think there was $60 worth of content in there in 2011. It's pretty ballsy to ask full price for a game that's 6 years old - that's all I'm saying.

WHY!?!? Why is it $60. That's just insane to me.

@Sinton Pong was out in 1972.

@16bitdave I was surprised so many people voted against smart steering. If you're bad enough to need it you're not going to win anyway.
