Harrow posted:If you were to get a Switch in the summer and then new Zelda DLC you want to play comes out, you're going back to the Wii U for it. So if you already know you want a Switch by summer or even late 2017, it's not a terrible idea to have preordered one. Not a great one, either, but not a terrible one. Honestly I hadn't even thought about that, though I'm hardly averse to playing old consoles randomly.

If Nintendo decided to re-release their Wii U games or have digital backwards compatibility for the Switch I would be jumping on it much faster. But does the gamepad preclude this from being a reality?

But does the gamepad preclude this from being a reality? Not necessarily. The main game on the Wii U that took advantage of the GamePad was Mario Maker, and considering that one mobile game port that only works in tablet mode on Switch they could easily make it so it has to be undocked to make levels, or eschew the touch controls completely since they're clearly not above releasing gimped versions of Mario Maker.

You'll be getting remakes, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe style. Is there a Switch thread? That last one's locked. I've got mine, licked Zelda and bought a Neogeo game to test out how awful these d-buttons are.

I dunno when the trend of breaking down a review score into individual components originated but I'm glad it seems to be on its way out.

The category I always liked in old reviews was "Reviewer's Tilt" because it implied that all the other categories were Pure Scientific Objectivity and so they had to quarantine stupid Subjective Experience away from the other things

After Nintendo Power moved from a scoring system out of a hundred to a scoring system out of five, there was a letter to the editors published a few months later, arguing that a scoring system out of a hundred was far more precise. If one basketball game gets an 88 and another gets 87, it's pretty clear which one we should buy!

This game is no fun at all, but it does have really good sound. Solid buy.

I miss Nintendo Power Most of all I miss finding hte like 1 or 2 games they'd give a low score and basking in them dunking on them in what was essentially a paid shill rag

I think it made more sense when games could just be objectively broken with no recourse to have them split out by controls or whatever, but just having random numbers attached to anything based on how someone feels when they get the game for free and have insane time limits to review when they might not even like a genre is dumb and pointless.

Video game reviews can't be objective unless something is actually broken so there's no point in pretending there's any objectivity involved edit: And I think that'd make review score numbers make more sense, if they weren't supposed to represent some objective standard on a 1-10 scale of quality that doesn't exist CJacobs fucked around with this message at 23:23 on Mar 2, 2017 |

 This is what reviews looked like back in 1998. I wonder why Andy gave it an 8, and why he wasn't fired

If I remember correctly Nintendo Power actually rated Turok 2 higher, 9.7 or something. I remember it standing out to me at the time and it was one of the reason I bought that. Which you know is a solid game all told, but it's also no Ocarina of Time.
