Re: Review: Donkey Kong Bananza (Switch 2) - Absolutely Smashing, But Can It Beat Mario Odyssey?

Comments remind me of telling my friend that Man of steel was trash, and him offering all kinds of reasons why, like reshoots, rewrites, whatever it was. The reasons don't change the fact of the thing. We should be able to agree that frame rate drops are not a good thing. If it doesn't bother you, great, buy the game. That's why the actual review is the important part, not the number, please consider dropping the x/10 system.

Re: The Switch's 'Repairability Score' Has Tanked Following Reassessment

no kidding, I was going to keep my switch, I have 3 kids, but the constant joycon problems combined with the massive increase in load times for some reason led me to sell for switch 2 credit before it died on me completely. I wouldn't expect it to function very well in 20-30 years, unlike the 64 or GC or any handheld.

Re: Sony Vet Shuhei Yoshida Says Nintendo Is "Losing Their Identity" With Switch 2

@Strawblaze I agree with your comments on the switch first party library. Re-releases galore. And I keep waiting for more fzero, star fox, punch out, metroid (more than once a decade), pilotwings, Zelda that isn't minecraft. But I think Mario wonder, peach showtime, and Mario party are the future.

Nintendo is run by an accountant now. Why put money towards anything that's not the maximum return on investment? That means casual Mario games. Nothing lasts forever, time will show the Iwata years to be their peak. Maybe not profit-wise, but artistic quality and creatively. The new focus on movies doesn't bode well, RIP Zelda.
