Re: Full-Scale Development Of Shin Megami Tensei V Has Finally Begun

@stocko if you haven't learned by now, he absolutely is a child. Someone with the capacity of an adult would be investing their money in to something with actual returns for future planning - not video games and arguing with people on a message board that :

"whaaaa, don't release my game again - I am 3lit3 for owning it on it's original system and I want it to be worth selling on ebay in 20 years"

@SLIGEACH_EIRE that's some incredibly poor business planning on your part if you are investing in to a game (multiple copies) in hopes that they will have a future value and you are only to blame should they become "devalued" by the game receiving new life on other consoles.

For you to feel as if a game shouldn't be re-released as it would not retain a future monetary reimbursement is pretty stupid and shows how misaligned your ideas of what a "loyal fan" is. In your mind that game should only belong to it's original release so that someone could profit off of it.

That doesn't seem to go hand in hand with a "loyal fan" as it seems to go more in hand with a flipper/scalper/reseller.

Anywho, the game currently has a resell value of 20 bucks for the standard copy and 100+ for the limited sealed in package. You're rich.

Re: Analogue's Christopher Taber Opens Up On The Super Nt And Future Projects

It's hit or miss with them. I pre-ordered and purchased an Analogue NT a few years back and the communication leading up to the release was minimal. After I got my unit tho and I had a few questions/needed a firmware update - their response and action was flawless. Anytime I have emailed them about my unit since they have been great.

It might just be a case of the company getting bigger, faster than they anticipated.

Re: EA Says It's Still Too Early To Judge Demand For More Games On Switch

hippoeater

EA and Capcom just show how out of touch with the gaming market that they both are. The demand is there for more switch games. This is a time when people are very excited to be able to pick up new/different/properties only available on other consoles for their new system. I think what they need to asses is what types of games does the switch audience what to play (docked and on the go crowds) and make those games.

There may be an audience for rehashes of SF2 at 40.00 (it sold well apparently) but if you are going to judge your entire support on a pretty niche game (fifa - specific audience and SF2 - same thing) and expect crazy results just because - you are out of touch with reality.

Re: Best Buy Benefits From Strong Nintendo Switch Launch to Increase Sales

hippoeater

it's so annoying that people complain about the prices of the Switch pro controller - yes it's 70.00 - we pay 5-10 less for the ps4 and x1 controllers - neither of which have a 40+ hour battery , motion controls and nfc support. Yes you can find the controllers on sale at this point and I sure hope you could 5 years after the systems release and eventually we will see sales prices on the pro controller too (maybe lol) but even if not the value you get from it greatly exceeds it's competitors.

Re: Book Review: The Unofficial NES/Famicom: A Visual Compendium

@AcridSkull So first you apparently reference no actual book "just that book" then you reference this one :

I'm taking about 'Playing with Power'.
How could I possibly be comparing this book to itself?

Now you're back to referencing just anything that's every been on kickstarter that was an nes book.

cool story.
