I love the video- Those devs seem like they really have a passion for bringing this property back. I don't get that vibe as much from NA games anymore. This kind of feels like a throwback.
I don't think it is fair to mention Ghostbusters: The Video Game Remastered without stating that Saber Interactive promised to add online multiplayer functionality post launch and then they completely ghosted that promise.
I don't disagree with you but it also shows a hunger for fans to connect with Nintendo in some way and I think Nintendo would be wise to harness the energy of that fanbase that wants to engage.
He may be awful but director Seth Gordon did him wrong- While the King of Kong is highly entertaining- It is also biased garbage. I wish the creators would have not lied with deceptive editing.
I'd imagine they also had very bad offers from some of the true giants (prime/ netflix) - Its probably more advantageous to monetize a video on Youtube than it would be strike a deal with Netflix-
Hopefully they got a decent deal that helped with production costs- I'm currently working on a series that will be released on PBS but we haven't worked out a deal with a streaming service yet- that will come down the road because PBS has a 2 year exclusivity with the exception of self release or youtube, so we will probably sell it via our website and then put it on one of the "giants" later. Point being, being on a giant probably isn't that great of a thing for the creators of the content.
Cool- but it still has output that isn't even as good as the Gamecube- so It's not very useful- Even if they found a way to hardwire HDMI out, it still wouldn't be as good as the Gamecube because of the digital out port on the Gamecube. Granted this doesn't natively play Gamecube games, the only reason I compare them is that Gamecube is nearly a decade older and has better tech.
One Wii related mod that I would be very interested in would be putting a higher resolution display in the Wii U gamepad- I'm guessing that isn't possible because the video being wirelessly transmitted out of the Wii U is only about 480p- I do wonder if at the very least what it would look like with a better 480p display-
This site needs to be careful with the term "review bombing".
1. review bombing can go both ways but overly praising reviews never seems to get called out by the media.
2. If a show genuinely deserves to be called out by the fans, is that really review bombing? The term should be reserved for when the review bombing may not be justified or else it will just be another term the media defaults to when things simply don't support the corporate narrative.
The wii doesn't have direct digital out. Gamecubes games absolutely look better on GC hardware over wii. Playability is the same between consoles but video out quality is better on GC. My comment is 100% fact based and correct. Please educate yourself.
I'd maybe pay the extra if a huge amount of N64 games, including ones from publishers other than nintendo, were available at launch, but there is no way i'm spending $40 more on the family plan for a handful of games.

The XBLA version looked so good- it's a shame they didn't use those assets for whatever is being released on Friday.

Re: Turn Your Switch Into A GameCube With This Gorgeous Controller Case
cool- all these gamecube controllers for the switch are cool- but 100% pointless without the Gamecube catalog to play-
Re: Talking Point: Would You Prefer 'Super Mario Odyssey 2' Or A Totally New 3D Mario?
The only thing that that really ties Odyssey together is cappie- otherwise its a pretty disparate adventure-
So I guess I am fine with more under the title Odyssey- Cappie doesn't necessarily need to be in an Odyssey 2, right?
Honestly, in the short term, I'd really just like Galaxy 2 on the Switch- that seems like a pretty big oversight at this point-
Re: Best Licensed Games On Nintendo Switch
@Wilforce
That narrative came later once they were already well down the path of not doing it-
The official word at time of launch was that it was happening.
Re: Best Licensed Games On Nintendo Switch

Total scumbag move by them.
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
VA are paid on a sliding scale based on the type of content it is and where it airs-
A voice artist could get paid 8K for a national 1 minute ad if it is a full buyout.
A voice artist could also get paid $800 for a 15 minute internal only business recording.
Quite a differential there on the amount of work and pay-
Lots of factors to look into here- I'll wait to see if more info on this situation arises.
Re: Talking Point: Given The Voice Artist Controversy, Will You Be Boycotting Bayonetta 3?
Definitely need more facts - She is saying the "whole" game on repeat but how many hours of work is that?
What if we compare her hours of work versus a game dev and then compared how much they all got paid-
Whatever, there just aren't enough facts here.

Re: Fired Nintendo Worker Comes Forward With An Account Of Their Dismissal
@McBurn
That is completely fair- usually we only get 1/10th of the facts and people just to conclusions- It is mostly nonsensical.
Re: Fired Nintendo Worker Comes Forward With An Account Of Their Dismissal
Seems highly questionable- but I hope everyone involved ends up in a good position.

Re: Talking Point: What Did You Think Of The September 2022 Nintendo Direct?
This direct is a huge blow to the confidence that we will put into sites like this and the rumor garbage that is put out there.
Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch
@larryisaman
I agree- I would love to have a physical edition on the switch and I think a lot of other people would too -
btw- I'm lucky enough to see NIN next week in Cleveland~
Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch
@larryisaman
Doesn't look likely.
Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch
@Thwomp_Stomper
still going to pass- I can just play the old version on my n64- I'd more likely go out and buy a Xbox Series S now.
Re: GoldenEye 007 Is Returning To Nintendo Switch
Complete garbage- Media outlets are reporting that switch is getting the remastered version but that doesn't seem to be a fact.

I'd imagine they also had very bad offers from some of the true giants (prime/ netflix) - Its probably more advantageous to monetize a video on Youtube than it would be strike a deal with Netflix-
Hopefully they got a decent deal that helped with production costs- I'm currently working on a series that will be released on PBS but we haven't worked out a deal with a streaming service yet- that will come down the road because PBS has a 2 year exclusivity with the exception of self release or youtube, so we will probably sell it via our website and then put it on one of the "giants" later.

Not all of those are accessibility features - stick to ones that are important or it diminishes the push for accessibility.

Re: Talking Point: Is There A Better-Looking 20-Year-Old Game Than Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II?
A Wii version would have been a downgrade because the Wii graphical video output quality is less than that of the GC.

Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy sorely need this-
