why do they always add a sprint meter, why can't i just sprint forever

i love that whenever they update games from the NES and SNES era, the first thing they do is add a sprint button and an option for "always sprint," so that you can basically play every game twice as fast.

If you think about it it's kind of silly that every game has a sneak button and a run button when nearly 20 years ago Super Mario 64 figured out that an analog joystick could encompass the entire range of movement based on how far you pushed it.

Thankfully every video game after it realized that specific motions based on spotty analog stick pressure was extremely fallible and annoying they stopped doing it

You try sprinting forever, fatass, and then say that. Verisimilitude.

I am an admitted fatass and I can sprint longer than most video game characters.

Makes you wonder how obese the guy who makes the sprint meter is.

So how much Pay To Win stuff do you think is going to be in the mobile Zelda game? I think Rupees, heart pieces, potions, weapon durability and fairies are all going to be the big money makers.

Nintendo handed over their licences to the mobile developer company. They've been given pretty much free reign.

Nintendo went "we don't know how to properly monetize phone games, do it for us".

I'm getting very nostalgic sega feelings when I'm reading over the Mobile Nintendo articles.

Won't really make much of a difference to me though I already play Wii-U games with a Dualshock 4.

A lot of people use alchemical magicks to turn their consoles into mutant, chimeric beings which use other controllers, as well as other modifications. It's a banned necromantic school of video games, though, so don't try it at home.

You can get numerous assorted controllers working on the Wii-U because of how the hacks work. There's really no need to spend the cash on the CCPro. However there still is no way to boot the system without the tablet.

It's bad because it gives you positive encouragement to keep posting no matter how bad your posts are, you need an avatar that detects whether your post is good or bad and gives a thumbs up or down based on that. You could also just make it a thumbs down.

Is it some Bluetooth magic or did you take apart a PS4 controller and solder it up to a Wii Remote or something?

Gabe hungers.

This really isn't looking like a good gen for consoles. Like I was expecting PS4 to dominate a year or two back but now its just a whole lot of nothing like the rest of the consoles. Glad I stuck with PC.

Oh, not making games for consoles. I thought you were saying Sega was going to stop making consoles, and I was confused.
