Re: Don't Worry, Nintendo Isn't Abandoning Switch Online's SNES And NES Libraries

@Supaguy Nintendo online really shines the most for me if they add niche Japanese games that never or barely made it to the west.
I do believe you're getting psplus and psnow confused. Psplus enables online play and offers several games for "free", while psnow gives you access to a library of games to download or stream. There they offer PS4, PS3 and to a very limited extent PS2 games.

Re: Nintendo 64 And Sega Genesis 'Expansion Pack' Announced For Switch Online, Launches This October

Honestly I'm baffled with how little backlash Nintendo is getting for this bad idea. Nintendo online is already a very limited service, but I won't complain for the price. But asking extra for the same feature (playing retro games, why should the system matter) just seems to overcomplicate things for the consumer. I'm a big Nintendo fanboy, but unlike some here, I can call out crap when it is crap.
If PlayStation would suddenly say they'll add PS1,PS2&PSP games to psnow but you'd have to pay extra for your now subscription the community would rightfully say that it's a no go.

Re: Sega Will Start Selling NFTs Based On Its IPs This Summer

I wouldn't raise the pitchfork against sega about this. Just because some claims ownership of a digital asset doesn't necessarily mean that inaccessible to everyone else. But yeah, in it's current use nft's serve little purpose, but it'll have its merits for contracts, the music industry and other things in the future.

Re: Rumour: The Voice Of Metal Gear Solid's Snake Hints That A Second Remake Is On The Way

@Splodge Absolutely loved Ryuhei Kitamura's take on the action scenes in the twin snakes. Alive is a movie I always love rewatching from time to time.
I feel the same way about the Yakuza franchise and absolutely understand the need for such remakes. I would have never gotten into the Yakuza franchise weren't it for kiwami 1. It's a tough feet to ask gamers new to a series to try an aged original in the hopes to have them see what's so special about it. Usually late comers don't understand what the fuss is about. Unlike oftentimes unnecessary movie remakes, games actually are necessary to revitalise a series.

Re: Soapbox: It's Time To Normalise Giving Up On Games Early

Personally I do find it a bad habit not to finish a story focused single player game. There were stats a few years ago showing how many people never finished uncharted's campaign and back then many publishers interpreted that as a lack of interest in SP games. If you don't complete Doom or hallow knight... who cares, but follow through with a great story driven game.
