@Noxide yet you remembered and cared enough to leave this comment about how little you care

Good for them.

There's only one update they need to make this game pretty much perfect.

HAVE THE AUTO STEER OFF BY DEFAULT IN MULTI-PLAYER

@KayFiOS not sure i can

@WaffleRaptor01 also, our officials are completely bought and sold by the corporations who want to do as they please with AI.

Ah yes this clears things up

Major bummer but at least the price of the game is good

@JR150 not a bad way of looking at it

Isn't there a way for devs to implement an ethernet-only mode? Where wifi players aren't allowed to join?

Hopefully they'll release SotN and RoB together someday...

@ImmaWario Bah! Yes I do. Actually I was thinking of another one of Tarkovsky's movies that IS called Andrei Rublev lol. Also a good artsy movie

If it includes N64's New Tetris, I'm there.

Makes me think of the Andrey Rublev movie STALKER based on the same story. It's way more contemplative and not at all an action movie, but it's one of my favorite movies regardless. If you like this setting, it's worth checking out.

@RubyCarbuncle maybe for your average gaming event but competitive pokemon has always been serious about child friendliness, and it is beyond obvious to anyone competing that this would be over the line. The guy shouldn't be shocked.

@tseliot raise your standards man, not every place is terrible

Glimpses like this into the management side of game development just goes to show you how insanely massive and involved these undertakings can be. It makes me dizzy.

@PersianZSR you gotta buy the expensive deluxe main line sets for those 😉

The fact that they don't sell the interactive mario figures by themselves is so icky, especially when it comes to kids toys.

@Azuris it boggles my mind that people were expecting more out of the humor of the third because the first two were so mind-numbingly badly written. It wasn't even that the jokes were too edgy or crass or anything. They were just really, really not funny. Lowbrow doesn't have to mean low quality, except when it comes to borderlands writing

@CammyUnofficial the physics are all wrong in Banana Mania. The originals felt way weightier and more satisfying, including the sound effects. Just rolling around on a flat surface felt fun and good. And the minigames suffered greatly for those changes; they were awesome on the GameCube

@AllieKitsune that's an incredibly specific expectation

The games were cringe on release. This was never going to be good

@Ace-Lucario ah ok that makes sense lol. Apologies

@Ace-Lucario .....why are you telling us this lol

@Not_Soos spanky's quest is actually very good (if obscure), and SCAT is a pretty well regarded shmup. There's definitely a lot of chaff on the service but those two were not great examples

Wait, how much are you taking off that score for being aimed towards people familiar with the series? One might argue that handholding newbies through the plot beats would be a minus, when the game is clearly marketed to fans of the franchise.

This might be one of the most profoundly pathetic mfs I've ever heard of.

To quote my boy Falco Lombardi:

This is awful.

@AG_Awesome the original has coop

@NCChris the dlc campaigns were basically three (four if you include showdown) entire sequels. And then they released Dig and Pocket Dungeon.

@heisnbrg the dlcs were basically entire high quality sequels in their own right, including the fighting game, and were added free for those who had bought the original before the dlc came out. It still blows my mind, and it similarly blows my mind that people don't appreciate that more.

I reckon this'll pan out without incident

@jedgamesguy but they still make money selling games on other systems

Fyi..... this plane flies REALLY well lol. I don't think I'll be folding planes any other way for a while

Please stop reporting on this stuff. It's like you want Nintendo to ruin nice things for everybody.

@SuperShaun have you never played a non-violent game before?

@rainbowtick you bought the arcade game Life Force thinking it was the entirely different (albeit related) NES game Life Force and are blaming HAMSTER for your own mistake? Even though there's nothing at all misleading about the screenshots, etc. on its shop page? 🤔

The interfaces of the HAMSTER releases are meh but the emulation quality is good and they have done a remarkable job of bringing literally HUNDREDS of stone cold arcade classics (and plenty of stinkers but i applaud their thoroughness) to the Switch, many of which had never received console releases before HAMSTER did their thing.

Absolutely worth celebrating and it makes sense Sakurai is a fan.

Idk if this was a worthwhile tradeoff but this kind of bonkers thinking is what makes Sakurai special. He thinks of everything and will try anything, and whether or not it's a successful idea, he put a lot of thought into it and learns lessons from how it goes.

As long as somebody else writes and directs. The first one had literally everything I hate about modern animated movies.

But fortunately it had a lot of cool stuff too.

@WhyYouLie sure, because everybody who gets frustrated with capitalism is automatically a communist 🙄

This is capitalism, ladies and gentlemen.

The only innovation it truly incentivizes is how to maximize profit.

Great when creating cool, quality things are key to profit.

Awful when ruining things (and people) is also key to profit.

@Chopper25 the ambient music is quite nice

I was so excited for banana mania as SMB1 was my first and one of my top 5 gcn games i owned, and smb2 i liked even better but never owned.

But they used the garbage new Banana Blitz physics engine which just plays so poorly and feels so floaty, messed up the minigames, and removed multi-player for the main game.

Still an enjoyable game but tremendously missed potential.

@Folkloner see, your feedback is actually meaningful here, as you are someone who clearly appreciates what this game is actually supposed to be. You saying this game is disappointing actually means something, as opposed to this reviewer who's mad that this isn't a survival game or whatever.

@PeterAndCompany 👏👏👏👏👏 that's all i have to say to you

@GreyFenyx that's my impression and I'm baffled at all the people who expected the main appeal of this game to be some kind of very gamey challenge. It's obviously primarily about exploration.

It does sound like even fans of previous endless ocean entries are a bit disappointed by stuff like the procedurally generated environments, but still. The reviews that actually seem to understand that this isn't supposed to be a gamey game are much higher and fairer

@jojobar what are you talking about? I don't think they were counting on another code to be a huge hit, and peach was a huge hit

@Samalik The graphics are significantly enhanced enough that the fact that this originated as a gamecube game isn't as relevant than it was for say, the tales of symphonia remaster.

Also, the action prompts are never THAT precise that 60fps would make a significant difference. They're pretty forgiving

60fps is overrated anyway. Useful gameplay-wise for fast-action games, and it can look slick with certain aesthetics. But sometimes it adds nothing aesthetically while compromising other graphical possibilities, and sometimes it actively makes things look weird.

@ninjapenguin1 The problem isn't customers knowing about SBI's involvement, the issue is the customers' reasoning for boycotting a product simply based on this consultant's involvement. Because their reasoning is based in bigotry.

A large part of why Nintendo's IPs have a unique cultural cache is BECAUSE they are so incredibly protective and picky about it.

This has always been their strategy, and when it comes to the value of their IP, which third parties and merchandise manufacturers continue to clamor for desperately, it has been working for decades.

Loosening that up might be profitable in the short term, but you don't stick around for literal centuries, becoming one of the most powerful entertainment companies ever, by focusing on the short term.

I'm actually super hyped for this one
