I feel bad for people losing their jobs… but these people now have the opportunity to not work for a greedy soulless company. I’d bet for many this will be a blessing in disguise.
This is one of those articles where I’m not convinced the author believes their own opinion. It is written solely to encourage discussion. I usually skip over them, but I’ll bite.
So… your argument is that since your character might defeat a strong enemy with a weak weapon, they shouldn’t be able to die from falling to their death?
In games where there is no fall damage, should we remove the possibility of death entirely? If Mario can survive falling from a 100 story building, kind of silly that he can die from brushing up against a little goomba.
Removing the possibility of failure would also remove the incentive to play.
I’m very disappointed by this. I never thought this game would be good. But it was a lot of fun. I’ve never spent money on “season passes” until this game. I will never spend money on a game like this again. I look forward to this game model crashing and never coming back.
Not many boomers played boomer shooters. Boomers were more likely to ban them than play them. But there’s a lot of booming going on in a boomer shooter. More action based and less cinematic than some modern shooters. Maybe Boomer Shooter took on a new meaning once the Great Zoomer Boomer war began.
The boomers tried to take away these types of games . But it’s fine to call it a boomer shooter. These games were all about the boom and the action. Then came the zoomer shooters which focused on cut scenes with sprinklings of action.
If it’s like most all the other n64 online offerings, I will play it for 10 minutes and give up due to the pro controller settings. Yes I know I can remap the buttons. But I'm kind of dumb and slightly lazy and don’t feel like remapping for all these games. Would be nice if they remapped them for me.
Remastering a mediocre game for the same system? Not a free update? Trash .Putting playtonic on the no buy list with Qubic. And judging by their catalog it doesn’t look like I’m missing much.
I’ll never forget when I bought one of these nba 2k games for my kid. Had to go back and then buy a bigger memory card to play it from cartridge . I had always assumed you would only need the cartridge.
I wish Nintendo would fix the controls for the N64 games when not using a 64 controller.. really shouldn’t have to do google searches of how to make input changes for each game.
I think this is the first time I have not been excited for a new Nintendo console. I love the switch so much and I’m not ready to say goodbye. Unless it’s backwards compatible !
It’s a 10. I’m watching my kids and their friends play it for the first time and they are enthralled. The remaster is great. But if you deleted this game from history and was just released today it’s still a 10
Yes it’s my fault for not reading reviews. But Mario strikers is super disappointing. Definitely does not feel complete. For those who don’t play online, it’s a complete waste of money. Here’s hoping future updates add more single player options.
I’d guess Nintendo has a higher percentage of parents buying games for their kids than PlayStation and Xbox. They can get away with doing fewer discounts
Wow… the buyers remorse has set in pretty quick on this one. Not nearly as good as GameCube or Wii strikers. Hopefully they have some updates for single player. Wish I read more reviews. Oh well, I’m glad strikers is back and here’s hoping we get some updates .

Re: Talking Point: Zelda: Wind Waker Is On Switch 2 - Do You Still Want A WW:HD Port?
I’m thrilled we’re a getting GC on NSO. Especially Fzero GX.
Wind Waker is one of my favorite Zelda games. Maybe my favorite 3D Zelda game.
The HD version made traveling by boat way easier. That is one feature I will miss in the GC version.
Re: Surprise! The N64 App Is Also Getting Some Enhancements On Switch 2
Do we know if the remapping features will also come to Switch?

Re: Balatro Dev Urges Fans To Buy More Indie Games As Title Hits 5 Million Units Sold
This guy needs to tell me to buy less. My backlog is getting out of control.
My favorite “indie”?

Not just my favorite indie but maybe my favorite game on Switch.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2 Reveal Trailer Gives First Official Look At The New Console
I will likely buy this day 1. However first impressions are that this looks very uncomfortable to play in hand held.
Re: Review: Star Trek: Legends (Switch) - Competent Combat But Fails To Engage

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Year In Review 2024 - Our Most Played Games
I won’t look! It would be a shocking amount of time spent on the switch.

Re: Balatro Has Officially Sold 1 Million Copies
My family hates this game. They want their dad back.
Re: Balatro Back On Switch eShop In Europe With New Age Rating
Wow. Whoever is giving the ratings is not paying attention to what they are rating. This game is appropriate for any age (based on content anyway).
