For me it’s the NES and N64. While they both have some great games to be sure, I feel that a lot of the games outside of their top 10 simply don’t hold up very well today. These systems were both limited by technical issues and were in eras when developers were still learning what makes a good 2d or 3d game.
I enjoyed it a lot during the open beta. Really looking forward to playing again soon.
Well I mean, they also ADDED Super Mario Bros 35 to the eShop, for free. You can’t just mention the removal as if it had always been there. I agree it was shitty for them to remove it though, it was one of my all time favorite games. But I’m at least happy that I got to play it.
For the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, Nintendo released Super Mario All Stars for the Wii. It was just an emulation of the SNES game from years before. It was released for $30 even though you could buy all of the original games on the Wii shop for like $21 total. It just reeked of “We know you’ve already bought these games like 4 times, but please buy them again”. They did do a better job on the 35th anniversary though.
Only time I’ve ever heard of bunk beds having railing is for little kid beds.
I have no problem with developers continuing to create new content and give customers the option to buy it or not.
Loot boxes and gambling stuff and types of micro transactions where you are basically paying a fee to avoid artificial annoyance/grinding are a cancer on the industry.
Good to see some new content, the online modes have been kinda dead recently.
This is the dude from zero punctuation!
I think there is a middle ground though. It's fine to have easy settings to help people get though a game if they want. The online functionality in Mario wonder, and the ability of Yoshis to not take damage are great examples of that. But on the other hand, I also don't want to just steamroll the game, fully clearing most of the stages in a matter of minutes. How many man hours of work did they put into each of these stages, just for me to blaze through it in 3 minutes and then never look back?
Like I previously mentioned, something as simple as just a time trial mode could give me an actual incentive to go back and enjoy the content a little more.
Super Mario Wonder. It was an enjoyable game, but just too easy, and no reason to keep playing once you finish. There were only maybe 3 stages in the entire game that offer a real challenge. It would be so much more replayable if it just had a time trial mode or something.
I owned every Nintendo handheld since the original Gameboy. They were so convenient to just be able to play anywhere. I could be laying in bed or on the sofa. Put it in your pocket or toss it into a bag to carry with you.
However, I don't really feel like the switch has really captured that same sense of portability. It's large and bulky and heavy. It feels uncomfortable for me to play the same ways I used to play the older handhelds. It also feels more fragile, so I'm hesitant to just toss it in a bag. I ended up just using it as a normal console 99% of the time.
Maybe it's just me being older, but I feel like the switch didn't give us the best of both worlds, it just compromised and gave us a worse version of a handheld and a worse version of a console.
With the huge improvements that have been putting into their drivers, I think their 2nd generation cards will actually be worth getting. At least in comparison to a Radeon.
Well, looks like they have finally succeeded in killing off the tournament scene. There will probably still be some holdouts trying to adhere to the ridiculous rules, but this is effectively the end.
Did you look at the list? It's there.
Games rarely work with an open source business model, so that's why there aren't any really great ones.
At least it has a great and well recognizable name!
Well I guess that’s one way to survive in the birdbox world.
Wow, it’s been like 15 years since I last heard about I2P.
I’m willing to keep an open mind until it releases, but that tells me that the gameplay will be nothing like the original.
