VC games with newly added features like the Pokemon R/B/Y games cost a bit more than the standard ones. But it'd be an increase of like $1-5, nothing like an additional $10 or whatever.

I would pay $35 for Extreme G with online multiplayer. I'm pretty sure it had a Mario Kart arena battle mode that was fun as hell, but it's been a while since I played it. (It may have been in the sequel.)

TFRazorsaw posted:It's not helping westerners as much as you think, especially when game budgets are swelling to impractical size and affecting profit margins. Honestly, chasing higher quality visuals strikes me as more and more a case of diminishing returns. Actually, the problem with Western budgets isn't what they're spending on development, but advertising. Case in point: two thirds of the budget for the Destiny IP (350 mil) is devoted to just marketing. The tools are getting cheaper but advertising is getting out of loving hand.

tsob posted:No game that old is worth $35. I just checked and you could buy an N64 with two controllers and three games, along with a separate copy of the physical Extreme G game on eBay for less than twice that price (€60 versus €33). You could pick up a game that's about 6 months old for less than that these days if you look around. greatn posted:Their VC pricing has always been consistent, NES games for 5, SNES for 8, N64 for ten, Wii for 15.

Do we know if full price switch games can be digital? I think I might rather buy Zelda digitally so it's attached to my account and not an easily lost piece of plastic. I could maybe even sell the special edition for a profit. Also, the special edition saying it's released on the 13th is really annoying me, waiting over a week for a release game would suck. Edit: Hail Satan

TFRazorsaw posted:I love how every story of Miyamoto exercising his authority morphs into stories about him being a self obsessed tyrant, without fail. Because that's what often happens to figures like Miyamoto. And multiple rumors over the years (we're talking almost 20 years) have done a lot to confirm that. There's also a lot of interviews where his demeanor suggests he's a genius but also an rear end in a top hat that only listens to his own voice. My favorite shiggy line is: "so, everyone was telling me we needed to do online multiplayer but I thought it was a fad, and I don't do fads". The city in Mario Odyssey looked a bit jarring at first but it definitely could work. Maybe it looked jarring because it was actually a fresh idea? Not that Miyamoto can't have good new ideas, mind you.

I'm hoping that all switch games are cart only with some security feature that make piracy impossible. Also hoping any VC stuff requires the system to be 100% updated to run.

The fact Miyamoto has stepped back and moved on to a more advisory role is pretty much evidence he's not nearly as much of an rear end in a top hat as people who like to think he personally set out to ruin Paper Mario or something would like to believe. People like that don't let go of power to begin with. The man can be short sighted and stubborn, but this is still quite a leap. But then, fandoms deal in extremes about things and people, never nuance.

If that's the case can he tell someone at Nintendo to make an F-Zero game because they don't need gimmicks or surprises to work.

Who'd want Neon anyway (He says after also preordering a set of neon controls) Also Zelda BotW Limited Edition is an EB exclusive as well. (But it's sold out and also doesn't even come with the case, coin or map, so  at this point)JB HiFi only gets regular. We're also supposedly getting close on preorders running out on the regular edition of Zelda.

I'd debate that because it's never exactly been a top tier franchise. I mean if Nintendo didn't have confidence in Star Fox coming out without a new idea, they're not gonna make a new F-Zero just to make it.

I really dig the city in the new Mario. Anything to break him away from castles without having to go into space. I got a preorder for the Switch and Zelda because I hate money. The only thing that is really making me nervous is their online stuff. They have such a bad track record. I just want to play Splatoon and download some SNES games without any hassle.

I'm reminded of something from something a Squenix dev said regarding Yamauichi after he passed regarding the two companies moving away from each other after the SNES. The rumor was that Yamauchi violently rebuffed them and had him hauled before a loving panel of Nintendo's executives and idea men. The actual account had Yamauchi sharing a bento box and tea with him and wishing him luck. I mean the man was stubborn and cut throat but. Yeah.

 Aussies Only It looks like if you want to pick up just the extra crap that comes in the limited edition set, Nintendo AU will be selling it via their eBay page later http://www.vooks.net/legend-zelda-breath-wild-different-limited-editions-australia/ http://press-start.com.au/news/2017/01/13/zelda-botw-will-three-different-editions-australia/ Seriously seriously pissed we are not getting the Shiekah Slate carry case tho.

We're working on assumptions here but people like that do step off when they're being told they're embarrassing themselves or when they're actually forced to by circumstances. He doesn't look like a terrible person to me, just someone who's a genius at his job and won't let you forget it. Mix that with japanese culture and you can imagine how hard it would be to give any kind of input to Miyamoto and not be ignored or ridiculed. That said I'm sure he's not the only one responsible for the most recent Nintendo woes.

Q_res posted:I thought 90 MBps was plenty fast, especially considering it's a good $25 cheaper than the 95 MBps cards you linked. 90MB/s is the theoretical top speed. The card isn't guaranteed to hit that mark or sustain that speed. The card you linked was rated U1, which refers to its minimum realtime write speed. Ideally, I'd expect you'd want a U3 rated card since I'm assuming sustained write speeds will be important for some/most games. I could be wrong though! U1 rated cards have a min realtime write speed of 10MB/s, whereas a U3 rated card has a min realtime write speed of 30MB/s, i.e., a U3 rated card is roughly 3 times faster when it comes to its slowest/sustained write speed. [edit] Here's a video that, while the card is being utilized for a different application, is a good example that shows how much faster a U3 rated card can write data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_je1tu0tVw teagone fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Jan 16, 2017 |

There is an old cultural tradition where, in Kyoto, someone will welcome you with tea, but you’re not supposed to really drink that tea. It’s just polite to have it there. And Yamauchi-san welcomed us with a very expensive bento meal and beer, and gave us a very nice welcome and basically patted us on the back to say, “I wish you the best.” No bitter feelings or anything.”

I still kind of can't believe I'm going to be playing the new Zelda on a handheld console. In all reality I think I'll mostly play it on the go since I can't really get much sit down and do one thing gaming these days.

We also wouldn't have the same Nintendo games if they had a different philosophy and I believe they're still the best developer in the world. Sometimes I wish they used someone else's marketing department though.
