Nintendo titles are, essentially, very good introductory video games. If you’ve played, well, pretty much any RPG, there’s no point playing Zelda or Pokemon. Same for fighting games and Smash Brothers or racing games and Mario Kart.
Everyone has to get started gaming somewhere, but beyond nostalgia? The rest of gaming has moved in from Nintendo.
Nintendo Switch, I should have known better. Nintendo consoles are great for kids who are new to playing games, not so much for people who have been gaming for generations.
I saw an exhibition here and even without the guilding, masters have a… luminance that is impossible to capture on film or print.
Last night I just wanted a list of Marx Brothers movies and got a pop up of “Heyyyyy… why don’t you tell us what streaming services you subscribe to so we can help you better.”
“Why don’t you fuck right off with that shit?”
Finally! Of all the gaming companies, I think Sega is #2 behind EA on properties they own that they are doing fuck all with.
I’d love a current gen Burning Rangers, or Phantasy Star (not online).
Klimpt has a similar problem.
vs. everything else…
Worse, those meal services like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron, Home Chef…
“What are your meals like? I have specific dietary needs and preferences.”
“Subscribe to our service to find out!”
The robot issue is a fair cop, but hey, at least they are different colors and some have noses and some don’t. 😉
I also really like Zlata but TBH she’s so barely there I had to Google her name. She totally has a crush on Marten. LOL.
Ahn is a new character who has been hilarious, as has been Liz the gremlin. I’m not bothered by failing to get another Steve Eating Cereal. LOL.
My guess would be some anti-woketivist snowflake going “Main character in a trans relationship! Reeeeeeeee!” I dunno if we’ll ever find out.
The Destiny community has this weird love/hate relationship with the property. Closest thing to the Star Wars or Star Trek fans.
Based on the original trailer, they not only eliminated PvPvE, they also removed a whole character, “The Hood”.
OG trailer:
I felt bad for Lost World, because Crighton went out of his way to write a novel that was a sequel to the first movie, not the first book, and then Spielberg just basically ignored it like it never happened.
I wanted to not see the chameleon dinosaurs, damn it!
Ever hear of Prince Randian, “The Human Caterpillar”? Born with no arms, no legs.

Married, had 5 kids.
By specifying first person shooters, they are ignoring all the dual analog games that started coming out in 1996.
People forget the first Playstation dual analog controller:
But primarily used in shooters for space sims like Colony Wars or mech combat like Iron Soldier, which aren’t first person shooters.
Pre-dating this was Sega’s Virtual-On arcade machine in 1995:
Banks are (mostly) free…
Personally, I think GamePass is a terrible idea.
The money developers get for GamePass “sales” isn’t enough to keep them in business, look at Tango Gameworks, who did Hi-Fi Rush. Great game, well received, lots of players.
Studio closed 4 months later.
If someone like Tango can’t survive on a game like Hi-Fi Rush, it doesn’t speak well for the business model.
So what you end up with are fewer games and lower quality games, it’s a race to the bottom.
Also, the push to digital only reduces the footprint in stores, so when people go to buy consoles, all they see are a bunch of old games, or (worse) no games at all, as we see in the Xbox section in Target and Walmart recently.
So GamePass encourages fewer games, lower quality games, a reduced footprint at retail, and ultimately, lower sales.
How much was it before it was $29.99 a month? 🤔
Looks like it was $19.99 a month until they raised it to $29.99 6 months ago.
Still an extra $3 a month though!
Bad time to point out that Lennon, Ghandi, MLK, and Harvey Milk were all assassinated?
Not sure who Anna represents… Politkovskaya? Murdered.
They were fun, the first time. But how many iterations does someone need of the same game?
People complain about the latest game in a series like Tomb Raider or Assassin’s Creed going “OMG, IT’S JUST THE SAME THING AGAIN!” It’s literally a joke with Madden or Call of Duty, but for some reason Nintendo gets a pass.
It’s cool if you’re a kid and Breath of the Wild is the first Zelda game you ever played… For anyone else? Unless you have on the nostalgia goggles, there are better things out there.
