Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's GBA Library Next Week With Fire Emblem

I don't care what people say about this service, I would much rather pay the yearly cost to play a decent size of classics and games I wouldn't have paid for anyway, than to spend 5-8 bucks each on them. Plus with the DLC and some NSO exclusive games and features, I think the service is worth it imo. I would have never tried this game out or a lot of other ones if it weren't for this.

Re: LEGO Expands Its Retro Gaming Collection With A $270 PAC-MAN Arcade Set

If you want the real deal game experience, then yeah buy an Arcade 1-UP counter cab. But the people buying this know that this isn't what it is. Like with any Lego set, it's a lengthy experience building these larger sets, and the end result is a nice display that you built yourself over a long period of time. I think its so dumb when people compare the prices of these products to the real thing, you aren't paying for the real thing, you are paying for a premium product/experience that gives you a nice display model.

Re: Nintendo Switch Is Not "Technically Capable" Of Running Call Of Duty Games, Says CMA

They are wrong and anyone who thinks they are right are wrong. You can optimize the hell out of these titles and they still look decent, even the newer ones, and they run solid. If they can get COD Mobile looking and running well, they can easily do it with the main line games. Maybe no open world campaigns and just strictly multiplayer/zombies (which is what the true big draws are). I see the Switch getting the rumored remasters of past entries (which I will remind you, those games launched on the Xbox 360/PS3), and then future entries getting multiplayer only releases for a lower price. The only concern would be storage, but Microsoft has truly talented developers and teams under their books for optimization. Look at how well they handled Ori (I get that's a platformer, but still that's a beautiful game that runs beautifully as well).

Re: Mario Movie Improves On Characters Who Didn't Have "Much Of A Personality", Says Director

coolioam

These comments ain't it so here's an essay for yall:

The people in these comments are so blindly filled with hatred for a film that isn't even out yet. What the director is saying is absolutely correct, these characters are not known for MAINLINE story at all (be real, the common audience doesn't know Paper Mario's story). The Mario series characters are very blank canvas, and yes you can argue that's what makes them relatable/enjoyable, blank canvas characters don't work for a 90 minute film.

While yes it is always nice to see lesser known voices get the spotlight, we have to be realistic. You can see it with the new TMNT movie, people aren't saying anything about the main turtles VA, who are lesser known actors, but instead are BLOWING UP about the rest of the cast, and the same people excited over that are the same people ***** on this film for celebrity casting. Celebrity casting gets people excited and adds to the films hype, simple as that. They are known actors for a reason, they get these roles because audiences enjoy them and their work. They wouldn't get hired otherwise. For this origin story of Mario, a blue collar worker from real world Brooklyn, Pratt and Day fit the role. As much as I love Martinet, there is a limit with that voice with how natural and emotionally backed you can get with it, and it would be tough for most audiences to listen to for extended periods of time. Not saying at all he isn't a valid VA, because he absolutely is, it's just a character issue. Also thinking its a jab at Martinet in anyway, cmon, get over yourselves.
