Really want a Mega Man X Legacy Collection. Enough of the NES rereleases already.
|
Im really thinking about buying one of these mini Nintendo's and picking up one of those games that has like 50 games loaded on it.
|
I really wanna go hard on Contra and Super Contra right now.

weird how do they sell games or in what form i guess?
|
It comes preloaded with 30 games. That's all you get. The appeal is all about the novelty, because there are way better ways to play all these games.
I was excited when it was first announced but the the more I thought about it, the more I realized it is just a nerdy paper weight. |
I never really got excited about that thing. Most of the NES games I would want to play are available on Virtual Console, cartridge (assuming not super rare), or worst-case I'd just emulate it
|
Not to mention thee controller has to be tethered to it and the cord is only 2.5 feet long. So you literally have to be sitting close enough to the machine to touch it.
|
Best reason I've heard for the device's appeal is mainly to go after the older crowd who don't really play video games anymore but still have memories of playing NES games as a kid. Price-wise, the games are cheaper than on the Virtual Console and elsewhere while quality wise, its supposedly the best for repro style consoles.

Kotaku have a rumor up that MS might cancel Scalebound later this week. That'll be nuts.
|
Wooooow
|
Man, it sucks right now and I have no idea what MS are doing if this turns out to be true. Sure, Forza, Halo and Gears will continue as normal, but then what? Crackdown has been in limbo for years along with Scale bound, Phantom Dust got cancelled and restarted with a new dev (I think it's just a remake now?), Fable was shitcanned which leaves all hope riding on Sea of Thieves.
Surely MS have some stuff ready for E3 though. Although it's not a whole new console generation, they can't have Scorpio sent out without a big showcase for it. |
|
Daaaaaamn.
|
Yikes. That's a nice kick in the balls for Microsoft.
Guys at Sony must be laughing right now. |
Or cutting a deal with Kamiya.
|
Feel bad for Platinum Games since Microsoft was asking way too much from Platinum Games than they could handle. Especially with how different Scalebound was going to be compared to their dev strengths. Doesn't seem like Microsoft bothered to lend teams or enough of them to help on the project unlike Nintendo and Star Fox Zero for recent games.

Ms cancels yet another game I would have bought. Great. Straight up I have never regretted buying a console more than I have the one.
|
It's so bizarre to me in thenfscr of The Last Guardian coming out this year. Yes, I know its a business and all that, but Sony had work on that game on and off for 8 years. They couldn't get the frame rate above 15fps on the PS3 and there are accounts of Naughty Dog and Sony San Diego being sent in in to try and fix the performance in that time before the PS4 version.
And for what? A Ueda game that is amazing but flawed and they never sell that well? Scalebound may never have been good, but I had faith in it. Fable Legends was actually good and they still pulled the plug on that. Re-Core was sent out to die with 1/5th of its content missing because it wasn't allowed to miss that deadline. |
Goddamn. Someone compiled the list of MS cancellations with details. Phantom Dust:
Quote:
Then we have Scalebound, which according to several sources involved Microsoft setting very high milestones and withholding pay http://i.imgur.com/j6LFpLX.jpg And as a result a significant portion of Platinum workers are without a task, Kamiya on mental health leave, and the studio bereft of payment for a month of work. |

Be prepared to go through TVs and controllers with Nioh. Soooooooooooooooo hard, you're likely to break a controller or television out of sheer anger.............multiple times.
|
Did you import it? Rate it on a difficulty scale 1 to dark souls.

I consider buying video games an investment.
Does that count me as one of Kojima's "investors"? Or do I fall under the category of "gamer"? |
Gamer.
The investors stuff is Kojima mainly being upset at how much Konami kept pushing into the mobile and pachinko route at the cost of everything else which caused the split to happen. Neither route has really helped Konami and they picked a bad time to enter the pachinko market since it started its decline shortly afterwards. Konami was getting pissed at how long MGS V was taking to develop and the amount of money being spent since they wanted to use the extra funds for pachinko related stuff instead. On one hand, they were right to be upset since Kojima wasn't getting any closer to finishing and the project was getting too expensive to continue while on the other hand, them clashing with developmental decisions is why the game starts to fall apart near the end. |

I just installed a 2tb HDD into the PS4 when I got it...it's not terribly hard to do, but certainly isnt as easy or convenient as just plugging in an external. Pretty shocked they took this long to enable it via update tbh.

Threw a 1TB into mine.

Castlevania Netflix show would be sick. Was actually thinking of re-playing the DS games this week, they were all so good

Man, they can spin that show in many ways. Richter, Simon, Alucard, Hector, Gabriel, etc.
Any main character from the series could work as the main hero. |

why? a game taking long probably means it'll be better.
|
Same thing happened with the stick of truth. Mind you they were going through the THQ bankruptcy but it was delayed for well over a year.
|
I think honestly it has more to do with them probably rewriting the scenario to reflect current events. Matt and Trey are very anal about south park in that sense and they probably started reworking bits just based off of the election just like with the show.
|
Activision thinks the setting was CoD's problem.
When they see people laugh at a WW2 or 1 CoD, after Battlefield 1, they'll see the folly of their ways. They need a year (maybe two!) off, both IW and Treyarch, to completely reevaluate how CoD should go forward as a game series. Top down. There's a strong chance the industry itself outgrew the franchise. |
It is a shame as it's the best CoD single player campaign in years. But if you want a single player FPS, Titanfall 2 was even better.
That said, it was still the best selling game of last year even with the drop. |
If you're thinking Bomberman R isn't hot enough for you, Konami are releasing Bombergirl into arcades. Anime girls bombing each other, with destructable clothing....

isn't there a Skylanders game launching with the Switch?
|
Yes but its a port of the last game (and missing a couple of features).
Rumor going around the net is Activision has quietly canceled the series at least in regards to console games. They've been teasing at the brand's future being in doubt ever since SuperChargers. |
