Honestly, I think I finally stopped caring about Nintendo poo poo when they started putting SNES games on n3DS but didn't do cross purchases or anything with Wii U. They've had so many years to get online play and account stuff right, and they keep loving it up.

Oh well, I'll just go play my PS4 and PC games instead. Not the end of the world.

Oh yeah the lack of an account based system for digital purchases is really lovely.

Nintendo just can't get with the times. It's almost like they have a link to the past.

Yeah lemme buy Super Mario Bros for the 1000th time but you can't be bothered to even try and port F-Zero GX

I realize that's a pretty apples and oranges comparison but gently caress it

No it's right on. Yes Nintendo, in 2017 the public wants another platformer.

That and I've just never gotten used to the N64's stick. They weren't too weird when new, but by now they're all worn out and floppy (hyuk hyuk).

Thats why Smash is so popular, a fighting game less about skill and more about memorizing the meta game's ins and outs

Melee in 2017 is pretty much fully about you can glitch the game with Fox versus the other guy trying to glitch the game with Fox

Smash players are overwhelmingly white, fat, live with their mom, and autistic. I'm not even loving joking. Like, the fighting game community is pretty diverse compared to the average gamer. Lots of black and asian dudes loving love Street Fighter. Go to a smash tournament? It's autists all the way down.

One of the top Smash players, Mew2King, is straight-up no-poo poo Asberger's, ADHD and OCD. When Melee came out, he was one the first guys, maybe the only, to sketch out frame and move data for each character. He did this for every single solitary movement for every character, counting frame-by-frame in practice mode. You hear a lot about frames and priority and poo poo in Melee at least, and most, if not all of those numbers came from him.

Also Mike-o is 100% correct. They might as well put train tracks between SF and Smash at tournaments

edit: not autistic like I thought but drat

I was sneaking around a railroad graveyard on a salt flat with a suppressed pistol honking baddies in the face and it reminded me of when Alejandro came to dinner so yeah

Also yeah Smash players are kinda... out there. Though despite the #ridiculous# amount of time I put into Melee, I never got into the whole meta and wave dashing and frame cancelling bullshit, I just hit Nintendo characters in the face with a baseball bat while playing as Samus.

I used to play a lot of Smash back in high school, to the point where we'd occasionally set up screens and projectors in the cafeteria after school hours and all that jazz. It's a fun game with cartoon violence and wacky physics, but once people start taking it seriously it very rapidly becomes un-fun.

I was pretty decent at Melee at one point. I could wavedash, etc. but yeah the meta stuff I never really cared for too much. I could hold my own amongst friends and won a couple of rounds in local tournaments, but the guys that play in bigger tournaments are pretty much playing an entirely different game than you. Also most of those guys are Fox/Falco players that have all the twitchy and tedious bullshit down, and I just didn't have time for that

I had a bug in beta where when I would kill someone with a headshot, their body dropped to the ground and started doing the swimming/falling animation but staying in one spot

It was wonderful and made me drop $70 for the deluxe edition

My favorite bug in the beta was the pilot of the helicopter hovering outside the door in a running animation, the blades not spinning or making sound, and everything else proceeding normally.

Installing game now.
