@John_Deacon According to some Irish beer company the distinction of longest video game titles goes to the Japan only release deep breath
Summer-Colored High School Adolescent Record – A Summer At School On An Island Where I Contemplate How The First Day After I Transferred, I Ran Into A Childhood Friend And Was Forced To Join The Journalism Club Where While My Days As A Paparazzi Kid With Great Scoops Made Me Rather Popular Among The Girls, But Strangely My Camera Is Full Of Pan** Shots, And Where My Candid Romance Is Going

But to be fair "The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past And Four Swords" is 12 words long and that's pretty close.

Re: Leaker 'Pyoro' Locks Account After Claiming Their Source Works For Nintendo

cvrator

@Xbox_Dashboard I'll grant you that there are some questions regarding the Blizzard stuff but your second point about a "bullseye" is a little strange considering all we know is pyoro's source is that they work for Nintendo of Japan. Beyond that he didn't even know how their own source was getting info so there's not a lot for anyone to go on. The source still seems pretty anonymous to me. Perhaps I'm wrong and this is somehow enough information to single out the true leaker, but I'm pretty sure Nintendo already knew this.

Re: Talking Point: How Do You Define 'Retro'?

From what I've gathered from the comments retro is "when I personally was a kid and there is no leeway at all I am the arbiter of all temporal matters," so that means that the cutoff is PS1/N64 and just by a hair because I'm 44.
That said, I think at least 20 years makes the most sense. Think of how we classify music as "the oldies" and ask yourself if you'd play Adele or Taylor Swift on an oldies station.

Re: Dragon Quest Creator Teases Possible HD-2D Remakes Of The First Two Games

@MinervaX I've got some bad news for you, DQ1 on the NES is about 100 times simpler than FF1 on the NES. I loved both when I was a kid but Dragon Warrior as it was called in the West back then is only about 20 minutes of gameplay with about 4 hours of grinding. There is arguably only one boss and one dungeon in the whole game. Here's a summary of the entire game:

Re: Best Final Fantasy Games, Ranked - Switch And Nintendo Systems

I really don't like VI - the bloated cast and the magic system that made every character interchangeable in battle. The incredible first half was all I used to play back in the 90s. I usually lost interest after the world blew up. However, even a FFVI hater like myself recognizes Kefka as a great villain.

Re: Minecraft's Latest Update For Switch Is Now Live, Here's What's Included

@OnBeingHuman it's primarily because a couple of years ago they increased world height and depth by a significant amount. The game is just getting bigger and it just can't quite run on console hardware anymore, particularly on the Switch. Sadly it will never be "fixed" because it's outgrowing our hardware. It doesn't even run very well on PS4 anymore, but it runs fine on PS5. (The PS5 still has to run the PS4 version, so the software is the same) We'll just have to get more powerful hardware

Re: Chrono Cross Is Getting A Remaster, And Boy Does It Look Rough

@GamerDad66 I think it's a good way to go, personally. I love Chrono Cross, but it's really not much of a sequel to Chrono Trigger at all, and they are including Radical Dreamers, which I never, ever thought we'd get in any official capacity. I don't want people going into this, playing Chrono Trigger then getting extremely disappointed with Cross. Best way to go is to release this and Chrono Trigger later. (If we're lucky)
