To be honest: I couldn't be bothered anymore. I am 39. I always collected physical. If you don't wait for a couple of months and if the publisher does not bring out a goty edition on card, it doesn't really mean anything. They want us to go all digital. Day one patches show it. So let's do it. They will regret it some day. I don't illegally download software anymore. Since 1996. But somehow they want it back.
I hope everybody will pay for the games. But saving the patches as a necessity seems a bit odd...
@Zeldafan79 "Wow how many times have I seen the phrase poor switch port? Don't know if I should blame lazy developers or the hardware. I Know switch is capable of amazing seemingly impossible visuals but constantly seeing poor switch port is getting old."
Always blame the developer. If can't make it run to satisfaction, don't throw it on the market. It's consumer unfriendly and bad for the brand. Plus it demotivates the whole team.
@Anti-Matter I can totally understand you. I really tried to love them. But somehow it never really "clicked". I feel a bit sorry for myself about that.
Why didn't NAPS do some testing of the game mechanics on real players in all the 15 years? There must be a strong personality in the seat of game design who does not allow a second opinion next to his. I mean 15 years.... all that should be worked on is game design in the first place. Graphics are always second.
@BloodNinja "It's not about style, it's about being honest with oneself. Get stronger legs, learn better balance, strengthen your core." Now THAT'S a Ninja comment! I think you stole it from Master Splinter....
@Goat_FromBOTW yeah, it puzzles me as well. Especially Nessisonett getting pulled is odd. He is a very frequent poster and normally I give his comments a like. Strange...
The little bits of real-life footage looks quiet boring for grownups. The "speed" of it looks like those one-time-fun battery cars for kids imo. If you have to be 13 to drive, the age of the audience this aimes for seems extremely narrow to me. Might just be the way the trailer is filmed. But honestly: it looks like good idea, not thought through to me. I hope it will be fun, though!
Seriously: my Metallica Ride The Lightning Album on CD bought in 1990 still works perfectly. I'm from Germany. So maybe it's the moisture in your region. Where are you from? Brazil? Vietnam? Essex?
@Noid i don't think this s**t sells in Germany. I'm from there and I never hear about that crap. They and up lying around for grabs on tables with cheap discounted shovelware for some poor parents to pick up.
@KateGray actually hats off for even watching it in the whole. I just want my time back. If someone finds a way to break a game by simple inputs they figured out themselves, fair enough. But going through the code is just lame cheating in my opinion. A lot of work, I have to admit. But just not my understanding of beating a game. They might be good coders later, though. Fair enough for the effort, I guess.
Still, to me it's pointless and boring to watch. I'm old.
@LittleToyTitan did you manage to play them through? I loved all three of them but couldn't beat them until waaay later on in my life. Battle of Olympus still is on my list. It's just too hard. A bad game on hindsight.
Sorry: did not read all the comments and kinda scrolled through the article due to getting really late here in GER. The question is: are the games playable in TATE? thanks for the heads up!

Re: Poll: Do You Call Handhelds Like Game Boy And Nintendo DS 'Consoles'?
@nocdaes
I think of a console as anything that plays a significant amount of games as its primary function.
This! My five year old daughter fits this definition and I'm happy to go with it! Thumps up
Re: Gallery: Is The Panasonic Q The Most Goshdarn Beautiful Nintendo Console Of All Time?
Is it the most beautiful Nintendo console?
Answer is no: the iconic NES western toaster is the best. It reminds me of my mum.

This reads like Dragons Lair to me. What a shame.
Re: Feature: Game Boy Games We'd Love To See On Nintendo Switch Online

Re: Photos Of Animal Crossing: New Horizons Monopoly Surface Online
Monopoly is the most boring game on earth. Special editions don't help. Make a Catan Animal Crossing edition or something.

Re: 'Mario Kart Live' Not Real Enough For You? Then Check Out This Full-Size Rival
The little bits of real-life footage looks quiet boring for grownups. The "speed" of it looks like those one-time-fun battery cars for kids imo.

Re: Review: Donut County - A Sweet Little Puzzler In Need Of Extra Filling
Price-wise it's a vr-game w/o VR... it is really boring an short. But a bit nice.
Re: Review: Donut County - A Sweet Little Puzzler In Need Of Extra Filling
@Ohokaysure no. To boring, to short. I would give the game a 4/10. There is only dialogue an not much meat to the bone. Actually it is a three 😜
