Re: Rumour: Nintendo May Have Already Shipped A Boatload Of Switch 2 Units To North America

@SwitchForce All I stated was I was for reciprocal tariffs, which most people here seem to be against. Yet you complain strictly to me about this on the USA side while everyone else is just as guilty complaining about tariffs. And you are silent too them. Your motives are definitely in question.

Economies can not come back full circle if bad government policy is in place. That is trying to be undone. Most people on this site support bad policy.

Sorry I can't comment on the rest of your post because of the poor grammar.

@EVIL-C I was speaking in regards to electronics. Tariffs are added on certain industries like cars, steel, energy, etc. Just because the whole industry does this doesn't mean it's not a rip off anymore. These tariffs are matching tariffs, which means, Canada has been taking advantage of USA and that is going to end. But you obviously don't care about fairness in trade. You always want the upper hand.

Re: Poll: Which Pokémon Game Really Deserves A Remake Next?

@-wc- the only time I would buy a remaster/remake is if the original game sells for more than $150 or if the new version has serious quality of life updates, i e. Final Fantasy 1.

But if it is going to be poorly made then I would gladly spend $150 for the original. I could spend more but it really depends on the game. Still got all of my consoles as well. Why get rid of them?

Re: Nintendo's Share Price Reaches All-Time High Ahead Of New 'Switch 2' Hardware

@Anachronism @eaglebob345 I would avoid Nintendo stock at all costs. They don't give hardly any dividends and that is how most people make their money in the stock market. If you are going to invest into a company that doesn't give dividends you need to buy the stocks dirt cheap, i.e. NTDOY just after the Wii U era.

Then, in the USA, there is capital gains tax. After the sale your profits could be taxed anywhere from 30-50%. Not worth it.

The best way to make money is to pay off debt fast, stay out of debt, and live far below your means. This is more important than the stock market.

@Lizuka I see. You were talking more about character likability than the 3H structure of the game. That is a legit argument. I hate unnecessary dialogue with characters I don't care for. I hope I can manage to play engage.

This might sound weird to people but so far I enjoyed the combat of GBA far more than 3H. I always hear people telling me that engage is more combat oriented than story. I guess that is why I am a little optimistic about Engage. But I will have to see.

Re: Rate Your Favourite Switch Games Of The Year 2024

For me this is a lack luster year but it's the end of the switch's life. I don't feel any first party Nintendo game really deserves GOTY, especially when you compare it to the other titles. Maybe I a forgetting a game, idk. And I haven't played enough of the third party games either.

Personally I don't think remakes/remasters should be considered.

My guess would be Shen megami tense V vengeance?

Re: Random: Is This The Harshest Mario Kart 8 Has Ever Been?

@-wc- It is refreshing to hear someone else claim that the OG items were the best! I still believe that MK SNES is still the best MK. The red shell didn't even work all the time. You had to be a competent racer and try to get as close as possible to the next racer before you can fire that shell.

This is why I quit playing MK8D online. Too many items, OP items, and racers. I put about 200 hours into this game and just under 10k multiplayer points on 150cc, so I am pretty decent.

This is an item management game not a racing game. When the game favors the losers (6th-12th place) then why try to be 1st? I hate this gaming philosophy.

Re: Random: Welp, Now Nintendo's Going After Sheet Music

prw_88

I am too late to the game on this one but, unfortunately, Nintendo is 100% correct in this case.

Sheet music is copyrighted material. That is why you need permission from the original publisher in order to sell it. You can't even give it away for free. However you can keep a copy that you transposed yourself. That is not illegal.

My mother was a middle school band director and if she wanted a specific piece of music she had to purchase it from JW Pepper (eBay of sheet music) and JW pepper would splint the profits with the publishers. Sheet music is a serious business.

Legally there is nothing to argue against Nintendo.

Re: Nintendo Discontinuing 'X' Integration On Switch Next Month

Twitter was garbage before Musk and I still see no value in it.

To sum it up all the "X" hatred, I would compare it to sympathizers for extremists Mao and Stalin are saying that Nazis are bad. Pot calling the kettle black.

Remember, all of these leftists were in love with Musk back on the day. They thought he was cool. I never understood all this admiration to begin with. Now they feel betrayed and are releasing their anger to anyone that slightly disagrees.
