@johnvboy Im with you here. They couldnt even be bothered to change the colours, animation or models. Its like they just directly ripped the original and made some slight alterations. Its not inspired, its a mod to an existing game haha
How are Nintendo still so far behind in online stores. Sony, Microsoft, Steam etc have virtually the same sales across the board. But Nintendo does a deal for Europe an then forgets that North America even exists.
Every time, Europe gets an amazing sale and NA gets the same sub par indie game sales.
Disappointment. At this point they MUST be working on a new Switch, the thing was outdate when it launched, it needs refresh as much as i love it. So if they are doing that then they will delay Zelda so they can announce it for the Switch 2.
Then they will forgot about the Zelda HD remaster we all want, like the Mario triple game set.
I'm honestly disappointed that they didn't do a Prime trilogy on Switch. It would have helped soften the blow from the restart. This is also supposed to be 4 but most of the people playing 4 likely never player 1 2 or 3 as it was all Wii and Wii U.
I kinda feel the same with Zelda. Why no Wind Wake/Twilight princess on Switch? They did a Mario trilogy and forgot they have other franchises.
Im mixed. I think they are very well designed and have beautiful colours and styles. But they promise the NFT part of it and its pretty usless. You might get a new colour of outfit or something an thats it.
Lets be honest. Nintendo has a 0% chance of competing with Sony or Microsoft and its been public before that they aren't trying. A home console with die, quickly. But Nintendo absolutely dominate the mobile market. It used to just be in Japan but now they dominate it globally.
The first rival is cellphones. We all know the vast majority of games on phones are ad ridden hellscapes or garbage. The next one, probably the most concerning, is Steam Desk. Its faster, better graphics, more high quality games etc etc.
Nintendo still own the handheld market but they need to do something to make sure that Steam deck doesnt gain ground and a 4k switch would be a big step. The switch had an out of date GPU and CPU before it released. So creating a PRO version would bring them back closer to modern tech.
The fact that almost everyone has a 4k TV and its the only system not 4k puts them behind.
I just finished Origami King and man that was one incredible game. I genuinely had a blast from start to finish. How Nintendo havent done a Paper Zelda yeah ill never understand. It would be like printing money
Digital stores closing, over priced physical and no way to play classics is exactly why I'm for piracy. So many Wii and Wii U games are now insanely prices or impossible to find so all it does is promote piracy.
By no means a Nintendo only issue as Sega and Sony suck at it too. Microsoft seems to be the only one that got it right and every generation will still work for the most part.
@CRASH64 I'm 37 so played a few JRPGs from the 90s, I found grinding in Disgea and some of the early FFs was awful. But for some reason it was still worse in OPT. Didn't matter where I went, it would take a 5min fight just for a fraction of a xp bar. I jsut couldn't find a decent spot to grind.
I loved the music, stories and art style but it was horribly unbalanced and it annoys me that they never bothered to fix it. I was getting to a point where the game was so horribly broken that everything would destroy me in seconds. Didnt matter how i approached it or what order i did things in, i was just getting wrecked by everything.
@CRASH64 How did you get over the horrific grind hump? I loved the stories, art style and music, but i always reached a point where i was seriously out leveled and everything single enemy would rip me to shreds.
I made sure to even do all 1st chapters, then 2nd etc and everyone was a decent level and i was getting wrecked.
Then grinding was just horrific. It would take a dozen battles to even just get half a level.
@WhiteTrashGuy How many of the games did you play? I've played almost all of them and it felt nothing like Resident Evil. Just the names. I still dont know why they had fast zombies when the games are slow zombies. Even the early movies didnt mess that up.
@JungleATK Agreed. It was another case of them buying the right to a name just to slap a generic zombie show over the top. Nothing about it was Resident Evil. They just used "Wesker" and "Umbrella" and went "Yeah, that seems like Resident Evil. It even has fast zombies. They couldnt even get that right.
How did The Walking dead have slow zombies, and do them perfectly well, but Resident Evil (Arguably the reason we even have a survival horror genre) somehow make them fast zombies and miss every singly plot point of the games.
@Ralizah A remastered PS1 game should never run that slow. That's just pathetic. If CDPR got The Witcher 3 running then something is wrong with this game if they cant get it to 30fps. Wow
Yet again this is another case of Nintendo being out of touch with the modern world and proving they are anti consumer and anti fan base. This isn't piracy, it isn't costing Nintendo any loss, it doesn't harm them. Infact it's likely making them money as it makes people think of the games again.
They seem to keep acting like its the early days of the Internet where they dont quite understand it so "Internet is new a bad, so scary". Its pathetic!
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Banjo has been away for a long time. But hes finally back in an all new adventure that everyone has been waiting for...BANJO KAZOOIE NUTS AN BOLTS 2. BHAHAHAHAH
I'm just disappointed that its only Switch. Personally i think thats the worst platform for it. A super vast action games needs high frame rates and as an added bonus, 4k. Neither of which the Switch is capable of.
@CharlieGirl Hhahahahaha. The words of a typical fan boy. Its cheaper, not better. You think old Genesis, SNES games and broken N64 games are somehow better than a library of hundreds and hundreds of modern hits?? No..NSO is not better lol
At least half the games are ones people have never even heard or and are pretty bad.
@Trikeboy Some of the ones they went after didnt sell access to the ROMs, they made money on the site from banners like everyone else. Nintendo went on a rampage shutting down as many ROM sites as they could.
Why does Nintendo hate its fans so much? Awful Youtube policies that punishs fans, terrible pricing for the expansion pass thing, sueing anyone that dares to host ROMS despite most of them being unplayable through any other method, ignoring fans entirely about Switch features and now copyright strikes that cause them absolutely no harm.
Why is Nintendo so far behind the rest of the gaming world. They keep acting like the internet is this new scary thing.
Preorder when there is a limited run of statues etc makes sense to me. But all other preorders just give the developer an excuse to make money an release a broken product they can patch later. they got your money, it doesn't have to be good at launch.
When i saw the headline my first thought was "That's the most stupid take ever. Makes absolutely zero sense" then i saw the pictures....I get it now...and its amazing.
Typical Nintendo. Finally listening to something the fans have wanted in 5 years, and they do it in the laziest way humanly possible and totally ignore what people have asked for since the beginning.
Sony and Microsoft at least TRY to listen to fan feedback and fix things. Nintendo sees the feedback an just goes "Meh f**k em"
@Pillowpants I've played almost every RE game, even the terrible gun survivor ones and the first Outbreak one. The crimson heads are still one of the nastiest enemies ever in an RE games. Fast, deadly, tough to kill, cant outrun, random.
First time i met one of those i lost my ***** haha. You get so used to just running past zombies an here were these nasty ***** lol
They really just wont quit lol. the movies were terrible, the animated movies were, meh, the reboot was terrible and now they are trying again lol. Big RE fan but ffs just make one good thing.
The Sonic movie had no right to be as good as it was. video games movies are expected to be just awful and 99% of them have been. So why was Sonic 1 was just so amazing and Sonic 2 trailer look so incredible.
Strongly agree with some of the other comments. I love where this is going an the work is truly incredible. But theres no character, its just that standard grass and bloom effect that seems to be used in every single fan remake.

Re: YouTuber Ends Metroid Prime Music Covers After Nintendo's Lawyers Call

Its not like its something they sell and they lost money on it.

infact is may help them.
So Nintendo is now saying "We dont care if its free advertising for us. F**k you for doing something you like"
