Re: Random: Kit & Krysta Discuss The "Drama" Behind The Switch Reveal Trailer

Well, thank god they went with the reveal trailer they did use. I think it was a no-brainer to showcase the Switch this way since it was such a different console than anything else before it, except perhaps Sega's Nomad and Nintendo's own Micro VS Systems. Great reveal vid, it made me want a Switch from the start after not owning a console since the PS1.

Re: Review: Clock Tower: Rewind (Switch) - Pre-RE Survival Horror That's Elevated By Extras

@LadyCharlie Nostalgia is just one reason an older game is fun to play. If your reasoning is correct, every older game would be either great or trash, and there are plenty that are both and even more that fall somewhere in between those extremes. And old games were only limited by the technology of the time, not by the imagination of the developers. What would developers of the past created with the tech of today? Thankfully they did not throw their hands up with frustration because their vision couldn't be manifested on their tech. They persevered and kicked off almost all of the game franchises we still play to this day. We'll still be talking about Clock Tower decades from now and probably never mention Fall Guys or Spelunky (or some other modern game) no matter how blazingly fast they were running or how well they were paced. Try some older, slower games, and even some that were badly reviewed at the time of release, it's great to see what worked and what didn't and to see the thinking and trade offs developers had to make. There was a lot more experimentation back then when there were no rules --- nowadays games fall into just a few categories for fear of being a commercial failure.

If anyone wants a CRT, just find out the days your bulk trash pickup happens in your area or an area close to you. Preferably an older, more established neighborhood that's been around from at least the early 2000s. Just drive around the day before the bulk trash service comes, and before you know it, you'll find one just sitting on the curb. Edit: You most likely will not get the remote with it, but just enter the tv model number into ebay to find the corresponding remote.
