Re: Retro Staff Credits Removed From Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Forever Entertainment Confirmed As Devs

This is probably being done to avoid mentioning each of the "older" names and instead credit the original staff as a whole, so they don't breach a way for people to barge in demanding profit sharing because their name appeared in the newer version and they weren't aware of that.

I mean... come on. We're talking about a company that sues individuals for romhacking and save editors, what else would you expect?

@romanista Which means preservation is at a halt since they don't have any other way to distribute official soundtracks outside a Switch Online plan. I fail to see who's their audience with this app, really. I like the idea but the subscription model is just wrong for people who don't own the hardware, it costs more than Spotify but offers way less, with no Desktop version as well.

Re: Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Rated For Switch By ESRB

@Dr_Lugae Pachinko and other minigames remained exactly the same in Virtual Console releases back then. There is even a gambling minigame in Wario Land, slot machines in Mario Land 2, various casino minigames in SNES Yoshi's Island, a freaking CASINO in Super Mario RPG... well, you get the idea. None of those games received a higher rating in the release/re-releases.

@Cia Except you are. At the end of BotW, you only care about Royal gear because endgame enemies get 10x more health and no other weapon gets enough durability to stand a single encounter. In Silver Lynel fights, you switch between everything you have at your inventory and ends up wasting at least 3 good melee weapons. For what? Are the rewards really worth that much? Anyway, the strategy is always: 1- Farm Durians, cook all five in a single dish to full recovery + 20 bonus hearts; 2- Go to the castle, loot weapons, ignore enemies, warp outside; 3- Buy arrows.
