Exactly, I don't think many people questioned his skill and thought he was a fraud it was more him lying and being exposed. I feel like if he just came out and said it was M.A.M.E and then did this his image would look a lot better because it still doesn't make us not believe his original scores we're done on real arcade hardware.

@DarthFoxMcCloud
Yeah I'm sooo behind, I just finished Xenoblade 2(I cried during the end) and I want to replay the entire Kingdom Hearts series to get ready for 3 cause I haven't played them in forever. From what I've heard from people that played it so far they said it's fun which is really all I care about so hopefully early 2019 I'll make time, I'm not into competitive battling or anything I play to catch pokemon and the story.

Re: Over 50% Of Nintendo Switch Online Subscribers Have Purchased The Annual Plan

tguk911

Honestly the NES games doesn't do anything for me since I have the classic, I mainly got it for Splatoon and the cloud saves for peace of mind and save scumming with Smash in mind as well. I do hope the service gets better over time offering more than NES games and discounts since mynintendo only has wii u and 3ds discounts but I'm glad they finally started taking online seriously since Nintendo is seriously behind in that regard.

@SegaBlueSky
Hori actually made a fight pad which had 6 face buttons and shoulder buttons but no rolling d-pad. The 6 button controller really only shines in fighting games and sports games though which is why it's still used for fighting controllers.

Re: GameStop Promo Wants You To Trade-In Your Old Switch For A New Switch

@rallydefault
They gut games and try to sell them as new so they can have display copies even though Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target do not do this. Yet if you open the game in front of an associate in the store and try to return it they will tell you it is used. They also allow their employees take home games and play them even if it's the only used copy left in the store.

Re: Video: The Nintendo 64 Classic Mini "Leak" is Completely Fake

tguk911

I definitely don't think an n64 mini is coming this yes. I remember preordering my NES classic for toys r us in July the year it came out and the release date was like November and it was announced before toys r us had them for preorder. The snes classic I believe took preorders in July last year and released late september so yeah I highly doubt they'll release it this year plus they probably still want to sell more nesc and snesc which are still on the shelves.

Also while I don't believe that an n64 mini will be releasing soon I still don't know if the pictures are actually fake. They could be real for an early prototype since it does take a long time to develop these things if they plan on releasing this sometime next year. Also if it was a prototype it would explain the font and things since prototypes usually don't add a lot of details.

Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Maddening Stance On Retro Gaming Is Driving Me To Piracy

tguk911

We all know piracy will never go away and to some it's a looked at as a deadly sin but I don't think the entire emulation community is a bad thing. I think it is a good thing we have people that care enough to dump all these games for preservation purposes when a lot of these games are missing it's original source code being able to play powerfest 94 is awesome.

Also the emulation community growing shows companies like nintendo and sony that people still care about retro games and gives them an incentive to makes things like nesc and snesc.. Also sometimes emulation is by far the best way to play some of these retro games when companies just don't care about the porting with a lot of emulation developers spending countless hours developing an emulator for free.

Let's not also forget some of these games are just downright impossible to get and the only person you'd be supporting is a scalper/collector. I'm not saying piracy is good in anyway and if there'es a readily available way to get your retro fix and support developers and companies then I'm all for it but let's not lump every single downloadable rom as a downright sin.

Re: It Sucks To Say It, But Castlevania Requiem Isn't Coming To Switch

tguk911

@NEStalgia
I feel like the NES classic maybe was aimed at that type of person but I feel like it hit a chord with people that still game but prefer retro games. We wouldn't have virtual console libraries or ps1 classic libraries if these didn't cater to a large demographic. Also I've seen many new gamers fall in love with 2d platformers/2d metroidvania with games like shovel knight, dead cells, hollow knight etc.

I for one hope this sells well because maybe this will get the ip going again kind of like what the mega man legacy collection did for mega man and finally gettting 11 after almost a decade.

@Gowtu_Games
Oops I didn't realize Yooka's end date.

@JayJ
For some it's people who like collecting for others it's for people that don't like purchasing digital games and prefer buying physical. I don't expect you to understand the reasoning just know there are many reasons otherwise it wouldn't be so popular with more and more titles getting physical releases and similar companies popping up.

Re: SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy - A Sexy Street Fighter That's Perfect For Beginners

tguk911

Glad I cancelled my preorder 3 weeks ago which stinks because anyone allured to this game especially for the fan service(ie me) probably grew up or is really into fighting games but the simplicity really turned me off in more than one way. I also think this was SNK being lazy which is usually the case with fan service games and not really them coming up with a beginner friendly fighting game but thats just me. Good thing Neo Geo international preorders go on sale soon.

Re: Hardware Review: Hori D-Pad Joy-Con Controller For Nintendo Switch

tguk911

@redd214 I have the clear turquoise shells. If you like clicky d-pads it's fine, it feels a lot like the 3ds d-pad which I like for 2d platformers but I actually like rolling d-pads for fighters. Also I had to sand down parts on the right joy con shell otherwise the "+" button would stick, apparently the molding is a little off for the right one but you can fine tutorials/pics on which parts to sand down in a google search.

Re: Random: One Episode Of The Pokémon Anime Has Been 'Banned' From Airing In The West

tguk911

@EmberTune I agree that we are not there yet as a society but I don't think we're doing ourselves any favors by censoring everything and don't think we'll actually start to change the way of thinking until then but I do believe we both want for the same thing in the end despite the difference in opinion so to each his own and let's just hope for a better tomorrow.

Re: Random: One Episode Of The Pokémon Anime Has Been 'Banned' From Airing In The West

tguk911

@EmberTune I agree things taken out of context even with best of intentions can be offensive but the idea is to be able to tell the difference between then thats when true progress is made. Saying anything that has any white character/person wearing black face paint should not be viewed doesn't seem like progress. How about we just teach our kids better and the ability to distinguish between racism and a character dressing up like a pokemon because I feel like thats an actual way to beat racism as an idea and not just hide behind anything that can be mistaken for it because that just seems like misinformed.

Re: Random: One Episode Of The Pokémon Anime Has Been 'Banned' From Airing In The West

tguk911

@EmberTune Blackface was a horrible practice done but how do we ever get away from it and that way of thinking by banning this. If we're saying that a pokemon episode that we all can agree wasn't practicing blackface nor trying to display racism is dangerous then I think we're heading backwards and banning this shows that racism is obviously a big hurdle that still lurks in the back of people's mind if this is dangerous enough to ban.
@Fath It's not blackface, one is a cartoon character dressing up as a pokemon. Blackface was a horrible theatre act to make black people often times look dumb and was wholly racist. The first is only racist when people's mind gravitate to that and make that connection.

Re: Limited Run Games' Night Trap Collector's Edition Is Open For Pre-Order

tguk911

Both batches of the collector's edition sold out in around a minute, I was online as soon as it went live and put one in my cart but I also added the trading cards and pin which took around a minute and it was sold out when I went to finally checkout but luckily I got one from the 6pm batch but that sold out just as quickly and was sold out a little after I finished my checkout, and this was done as soon as it went live.

Re: Mega Man Composer Addresses Similarity Between Elec Man's Theme And Journey's "Faithfully"

tguk911

I think it's using the same cadence of chords just in different keys and the rhythm is similar but I rarely ever believe plagiarism in music especially based on her past work. Also writing a song isn't the same as writing a term paper especially for composers and changing a few words to plagiarize either if you did hear a song you like and you we're going to plagiarize it there's so many more ways to mask it so people couldn't easy identify it.

Re: Video: These D-Pad Joy-Con Shells are Great, But Come with a Cautionary Tale

@ICISAZEL
One can only hope I mean they sell individual right and left ones why not just make a left one with a d-pad! I'd even take a third party one from a good peripheral company like Hori but I don't think we'll be seeing third party joy-cons anytime soon. Speaking of the 30th anniversary edition I got my iam8bit street fighter 2 30th anniversary edition last week!

@carlos82
I don't know if this will sync with the bluetooth adapter for the NES/SNES mini but it has upgradeable firm so i'm sure if it doesn't then it will eventually but they're also making a SNES Mini one but it's not bluetooth it's 2.4 so there might be a little lag and also theres no analog sticks but you can access the home menu from the controller with down and select

Re: Hardware Review: Wireless Fighting Commander for SNES Classic By Hori

tguk911

I don't know if the reviewer got a special copy or what but it's almost impossible to pull off diagonals and since this controller was made for fighting games hence the name fighting commander it's practically useless for me. I only bought this for street fighter and you can't dodge or pull off combos without diagonal controls so I don't know if the reviewer got paid to just hype this up with fluff, got some reviewer copy that didn't have this defect, or just didn't test it out on street fighter which would be crazy but do NOT buy if you wan't 8 way directional controls. And if you see an 4 or 5 star review on a retailer site chances are that the person didn't use it for street fighter or doesn't care but all the 1 and 2 star reviews out there are deserved, HORI which produces great gaming accessories and excellent peripherals really dropped the ball on this one, seems like they rushed it out of the factory and into the stores too soon.

Re: Review: R.B.I. Baseball 17 (Switch)

I was tempted to pick this up since I've been tired of downloading roster hacks for the original R.B.I on the NES but these reviews are scaring me away, I'll prob wait til a price drop cause this really does scream smartphone version.

Re: Feature: Just How Bad Is Hori's Wired 'Solution' For Switch Voice Chat?

tguk911

@Yozora146_
I love my A40's especially the mixamp pro so I'll prob start messing around with a rig next week when I pick up Splatoon but will probably have to use Team Speak though I really hope Nintendo integrates a voice chat app into the system in the future because I prefer voice chat and game audio together. I've been looking for a new wireless headset after my A50's gen2 broke so I might look into the 800s like you suggested because I'm not to sure about the new A50's. It was nice talking with you as well and I totally agree about the toxicity of posts I feel a lot of people don't think they need to respect other people since they're protected by the anonymity the internet provides.

Re: Feature: Just How Bad Is Hori's Wired 'Solution' For Switch Voice Chat?

tguk911

@Yozora146_
This can be done with the Nintendo app too? I know you can set things up with Team Speak and Dischord I have my Astro A40 split with my PS4 and my computer or phone so I can hear the game audio and have voice chat through team speak all out of my headset for FFXIV, so I know about splitting channels but there most likely won't be a true wireless system with voice chat especially in portable mode unless we get some hardware changes on the switch or the in the joy cons and to have to go through an app is ridiculous it's up there with no Netflix and no save manager.

Re: Feature: Just How Bad Is Hori's Wired 'Solution' For Switch Voice Chat?

tguk911

@Yozora146_
Hori couldn't do a wireless headset because the system doesn't allow for it hence why you have to use a smartphone app for chat. And I'm pretty sure you can't get chat hooked up with the Katana HD's with only 1 wire since it needs to hook up to the phone with the adapter that comes with the Splatoon one or the one pictured above and even then I don't know it it would be compatible with the drivers for chat.

Re: Feature: Just How Bad Is Hori's Wired 'Solution' For Switch Voice Chat?

tguk911

Seriously Nintendo it's 2017! I know Nintendo is relatively new to online gaming services and the like but it's not like it hasn't been done before they have models to go by. I hope they add BT in the next Switch revision(like the GBA SP backlit screens) or add it to the Joy-Con's with a FW update that could allow BT compatible headsets kind of like how they added the motion plus to the wiimotes.

Re: Review: Mighty Gunvolt Burst (Switch eShop)

tguk911

love the gameplay and really lost myself at times with the gun customization, wish a little bit more went into the story you know something to give you a reason to care about but this is a collaboration game where gameplay was the main focus, that being said I actually really liked the story in azure gunvolt on the 3ds.

Re: Review: Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas (Switch eShop)

tguk911

Theres paying homage(i.e. Shovel Knight) and theres ripping off(i.e. The Great Giana Sisters) and this seems more like the latter. It looks like all the puzzles were taken straight from Zelda games (torches, arrow targets, even a beamos lol) and this was just from the trailer.
