Its a fine line, I think Nintendo clearly stepped over.
While I fully supoort Nintendo's right to restrict online access to their servers for online play for players that cheat and pirate, outright bricking a players console so its unusable even for offline play is too far. No console update or software updates.
I may pick this up, despite already owning 2x of the hori game cases.
My biggest issue with that is the fact the retainer clips are extremely stiff and I feel I'm actually going to break something repeatedly taking the game carts out.
Ideally, I would love for Nintendo to release an official game carry case, just like the limited Club Nintendo 3ds game case. I absolutely love that, and am surprised they haven't offered a switch version.
I keep seeing a lot of people bringing up pirating the game.
There needs to be a distinction pointed out, emulating and pirating are 2 very different things.
Emulating is very much legal, if you own a copy of the original software.
Granted Emulation does open the doors for people to abuse and widely circulate the data to be pirated, but emulation, in and of itself is completely legal.
And there is a legitimate interest for gamers to emulate the game on more powerful PC hardware to get a better resolution and load times from the game.
I can see the appeal of wanting to emulate it on PC. Higher resolution and faster loading times.
Any gamer who isn't a fanboy and glued to the hip with Nintendo, it's pretty obvious the loading times are definitely noticeable for a cartridge base game.
I get the whole piracy issue to some, but some people just want the best game experience possible, and that means emulating a game that is designed for mediocre hardware.
Definitely keeping an eye out for Metroid Dread special edition pre orders opening up. 2 weeks until the game launches, if there's another wave of pre orders opening up, now would be the time.
Exactly. This would have been the perfect time for Sega to try and get back into the handheld market. Nintendo basically cannibalized thier market into the home console market, and sony abandoned it a long time ago.
A game gear slim or game gear 2 would have been a hit with the dedicated handheld crowd. Something the size of standard GBA that takes OG game gear cartridges would have been big.
This thing is just way too small. Should have been the size of a GBA micro at the most, not a tomagotchi or Dreamcast VMU.
Ideally, I think everyone would have like a game gear the size of a standard GBA, that takes actual cartridges. I'm sure they could have come up with something at $200 price point, which is what these 4 will run you, and fans would have been happy.
This is more disappointing than the first Sonic movie trailer.

Re: How To Make Metroid Prime Remastered Work With A GameCube Controller
Pretty glad I pre ordered the NYXI Wizard controller. Wireless GameCube style Switch controller with hall joysticks.

Re: Talking Point: amiibo Have Always Been Physical DLC, Skyward Sword HD Is No Different
I refuse to pay for limited production figures to o unlock in game items and features.
Just buy a power save, and download any amiibo data from a depository for free.

Not what anyone wanted.
