Re: Nintendo Has Worked To Escape Its 'Childish' Reputation, Says Miyamoto

Nevermind when the Xbox 360 was modern gen, Nintendo was "childish" during the N64/PSX era, even though the N64 had Goldeneye. Before you argue "It was the same when it was SNES/Genesis (Mega Drive)," in my personal experience, the only "console war" was in the media. SNES and SEGA owners got along just fine. Maybe it was different for you, but on my playground, it was nothing but love.

But I didn't care back then. As the world praised their PSX, Original Xbox, and PS2 (which I didn't own until 2007, purchased for Soul Calibur 3), I happily played my N64 and Gamecube and still do. Today, I own an assortment of recent consoles and a gaming PC, but I play the heck out of my Switch and wouldn't give it a second thought to play it in public.

Re: Turns Out Super Sonic Was Almost In The Sonic Movie, But "It Didn't Make Sense Just Yet"

I'm glad they skipped it. It would have been too much to have the tribe and Robotnik after Sonic for his speed and then drop him because the Chaos Emeralds are so much more powerful. The movie was clearly written for a general audience while giving the fans a lot of references that they could enjoy without confusing someone who has never played a Sonic game or watched any TV show. I hope the sequel introduces the Chaos Emeralds and Super Sonic, and that Knuckles is a minor antagonist for a time

Re: Talking Point: Is Nintendo Switch Online Good Value Compared To PlayStation Plus And Xbox Live Gold?

Microsoft continued to charge me after I canceled my Xbox Gold, nevermind that I wasn't getting the service, and I had to BEG customer service to cancel it properly. He constantly gave me sales pitches about why I wanted it and I had to constantly repeat myself that I don't want it. It was finally canceled but my tenure has been frozen at "0 years" for close to a decade now.

Nintendo gives no trouble and I can play Splatoon 2 online. That's all that matters to me.

EDIT: Apparently I have been given false information about the PS+ subscription cards. My apologies.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl #30 - Quest 64 / Holy Magic Century

Maybe the NA publisher feared that a hand-drawn cover would tell the consumer "this is an SNES-style pixel RPG" and we can't have that, now can we? Jokes on them, between the crappy cover and the lame "Quest 64" title, I thought it was a half-assed lazy attempt at an RPG and happily skipped it. Sad to hear it actually is one.
