Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For Detective Pikachu Returns

nickeddowes

Nintendo made terrible marketing for this game. I completely forgot about this one until last week when they made a post on Instagram saying "7 days remaining". They clearly didn't have faith in it and the reviews show that. I was interested since I like the genre until I saw it was aimed at a younger audience and seems bland in every aspect. It could´ve been so much more.

Re: Review: Pac-Man World Re-Pac - Perfectly Passable PS1 Platforming

I’m loving the gameplay but I’m mad at some decisions they made. I don’t see the need of changing the cutscenes and script that much. I can understand they don’t have all of the uncompressed audio files for the music and sound effects, but It’s just too obvious and I wished this wasn’t the case. Last but not least, Toc Man’s redesign was uncalled for. At least the game is fun.

Re: Poll: What's The Best Tony Hawk Game?

American Wasteland is so underrated but it’s gold to me. It’s one of my all-time favorite games for so many reasons. I know it has its flaws and development time was rushed, but the quality of this game is better in many aspects. It was the last great Tony Hawk game, after that I just couldn’t care less about Neversoft’s final two titles and Robomodo’s mess

Re: Poll: What Did You Think Of Nintendo Direct At E3 2021?

They should’ve announced Splatoon 3 today or shown something new about the game. Smash character was dissapointing, Nintendo is really not listening. Breath of the Wild could have a title already. I was expecting at least Mario Kart 9 or Switch Pro. I didn’t like WarioWare’s character mechanics so I’m not sure how to feel about that game yet. Mario Party did it for me as a MP N64 big fan, but that’s it.

Re: Did You Miss Out On The Super Mario Anniversary Pin Set? You're Not Alone

Nintendo has been doing great this past few years. This year it feels like they are taking A LOT of steps back, and that they don’t even care about customers anymore. After a lot of thought I’m not getting 3D All Stars. I couldn’t even do the Mario Kart Tour mission because the game shows an error when I open it and have even contacted Nintendo about that.

Re: Feature: Keeping It Physical In A Digital Age

nickeddowes

I'm against physical games nowadays. I rather have physical games for a few reasons tho: you can sell them, you can get used games for a lower price, you can have the games forever, especially if the publisher removes it from any digital store (mostly for license reasons).

But physical is such a waste of plastic, and things should go digital just like PC. But also policies should be more like Steam, where you can use your games anywhere with your account (as long as no one else is using the same account) and they should always be backward compatible to keep your collection intact and playable at any time.

Think about this: games would be cheaper to publish (no manufacturing, no distribution), we could see a permanent price drop and cheaper games. I hate to hear that we'll probably get US$70 games with the launch of the PS5, and Series X, and digital could help fix this problem.
