Re: Opinion: Nintendo Needs To Let Us Block The Crap On Switch 2's eShop

To date, I have now hidden 2931 shovelware items on psprices. So sick of seeing weekly re-re-re-re-releases of 'Diamond', 'Gold', 'Platinum' versions of the same weekly tripe, which takes up so much space in every catergory like Coming Soon, Offers, New Releases etc. That sort of stuff should be banned. So many true indie gems get burried under that trash.

@Not_Soos Excellent points, & the best stance to take on the issues raised. Do love our community here on NL ^_^
Tastless, probably, but then I do think back to Gilbert Godfried and how he got cancelled for telling a 9/11 joke... anyway, I digress. Jack Black was great as Bowser and that was always going to be a job you can't ignore.

Anyone else feel like Jack Black has sold out now? He was supposed to be taking a step back to support his family, but instead he didn't stand up for his buddy Kyle over a comedic response & focused on securing his contracts with Dreamworks etc. I would have much preferred if Jack re-focused on Jablinski Games on YT.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Confirms He's Working On A New Game

I'm really hoping for something new and exciting. I'm all for the obvious Kid Icarus Uprising remake, or a new entry in Smash further down the line, but I rather let him cook something fresh that might take advantage of the pending new hardware. Either way, so long as he puts his mental and physical health first, that's what's important.

Re: Switch Online's Expansion Pack Promises "Excitement" In 2025

sikthvash

Oooo excitement! So maybe more than 3-4 games every quarter then?
Besides the obvious inclusion of GC games, I would really like to see the back catlaogue fill up some more. Also, some UI improvements to get rid, or alter the borders and to see the back of the stupid user icon in the top left hand corner.

Re: Round Up: The Reviews Are In For The Nintendo Museum

sikthvash

A lot of historical sites / places of interest have a seperate audio guide in an app - Nintendo are missing a trick here as they could have used something like that with NFC and have extra fun things to do like a scavenger hunt to find hidden Luigi, Toad or any other characters to unlock around the museum. This could then unlock extras in app as simple as phone wallpaper, or perhaps a token to use at a gatcha machine etc.

Re: PSA: Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom Has Reportedly Leaked Online In Full

@Lizuka Lots of games have secrets & surprises that many people would like to experience for themselves, rather than accidentally come across them in a reveal. Granted, it may not be particularly spoilery plot wise for a title like Zelda, but if you consider the puzzles and the mechanics for completing them, it would be a bit like stumbling across a solution which could potentially negate the enjoyment had in solving it for yourself.

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Nervous To Replay In Case They Don't Hold Up?

sikthvash

For me, I think there's only a handful of games that don't live up to the original playthrough or the nostalgia. Usually, this is due to QoL features, such as camera angles, or controls, especially in the early 3D games (excluding Mario 64). In my experience, Sonic Adventure was borderline unplayable when revisiting on Dreamcast as the controls seemed widely different now that I've been spoilt to modern controls. Obviously, not completely ruling out some peripheral degradation... and ageing body ha!

Re: Palworld Boss Says A Switch Release Could Be "Hard" Due To Technical Reasons

sikthvash

It's a fairly resource-hungry game, so I'm not surprised.
Doubt Nintendo are that bothered about this coming to future Nintendo hardware - the Pal designs are fairly reminiscent of Pokémon, but are different enough to avoid any unwanted legal attention. The game is also far from being a straightforward Pokémon clone. If you’ve played it, you will know it has elements of survival, building, crafting, resource management & a greater emphasis on exploration. If anything, a little competition will be good for Game Freak – some quality control and a decent game engine will go a long way to improving the latest Pokémon offerings.

Re: Poll: Is $60 Too Much For Nintendo's Switch Re-Releases?

sikthvash

For the likes of Pikmin 1 & 2, yes, I think so. I know you're getting two games, but they are basic ports, whereas the majority of the others are reamkes built from the ground up. Paper Mario TYD, Another Code, Metroid all boast huge improvements over the original, so I think it's justified. Now, if Nintendo were to pull a Sony and sell an additional frame boost / upscale for the Switch's successor for each outing, then I would not be impressed.
