100YrsofAttitude posted:This may seem douchey but it's pretty reasonable. I can't remember what the effect it's called, but it's really bad for a brand to become the generally associated word with a product, think Kleenex when all you want is a tissue or how people want to play Frisbee but in fact it's one of the many other flying disc products. There's loads of examples and I can see why Nintendo would've wanted to avoid becoming associated with any and all video game products. Generecized trademark. Nintendo did well to fight against it. Other examples are band-aid, velcro, chap-stick.

Not a Children posted:They had a whole licensing scheme during the height of the NESs' popularity wherein they would only allow publishers to put out 5 games a year so as not to cut into first party sales and to negotiate release dates. They also did some scheisty poo poo to maintain high MSRPs and took advantage of a microchip shortage through some market manipulation shenanigans Basically Nintendo protected us from lovely European microcomputer platformers. For that, we owe them a lot.

TheScott2K posted:Yea a lot of PC games do not like being streamed and it's really hard to tell which ones will without trying. I figured out the issue, I had unplugged one of my monitors earlier today but forgot to unplug the HDMI cable from my graphics card. I still had a monitor plugged in via DVI but that apparently caused Direct 3D to get confused for some reason. ...Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for Switch when?

It's largely a southern thing, and surprisingly theres little confusion around it. It's all about context. You might say "I have a bunch of cokes in the cooler" and mean a variety of sodas, but if you order a coke a restaurant they will bring you the coke brand product. To bring this back to nintendo, did you know that the original version of Punch Out's Soda Popinski was called Vodka Drunkenski?

ExcessBLarg! posted:Nintendo's approach in the late 80s was certainly heavy handed, but it was also in response to Atari's crash and burn only a few years earlier. By late 1983, video games were done in the US. They were a passing fad. Retailers got burned badly on them and they weren't going to touch them. Nintendo had to rebuild that market in the US by selling the NES as a toy, and part of the success of that was gatekeeping the market so that good games wouldn't be undercut by $5 not playable cheap poo poo, as happened to Atari and Activision in 1982. Nintendo at that point was ensuring us that the kind of game that would be greenlit through Steam Greenlight was not a problem. For that they have my respect. BETRAYAL!

Back with a couple Xenoblade questions. I got Electra's thunder mastery to 4 and there's a think on Argentum she's supposed to be about to try at night but no matter what time I set it to it's unavailable. Also I started Wulfric's quest and saved the people and fought the giant ape til it ran and the next step is I'm supposed to report back to the guy I started the quest with, but no matter what time of day there is no map marker and he doesn't seem to be anywhere.

Crash Trilogy is fun so far thru like 5 levels. The graphics and visuals look excellent, frame rate seems a little slow in docked but it's plenty playable. Yes, you walk down a narrow channel it's not that "3D" but again the scenery is really nice and still somewhat challenging if you go for all boxes or try to go for speed.

imo the main problem with Wolf2 was the lack of level variety, New Orleans was the worst offender, you start off excited to see what they do and guess what, it starts with another generic Nazi base and another generic ruined city area the game should have had combat areas that looked like the Roswell level. nothing in the game was as cool as the level variety in the first game

Does Crash 1 in the remake let you actually save outside of bonus rooms? Crash 1 is a bad game compared to 2 and 3 but I might actually suffer through it again if I don’t have to worry about that BS. Edit: I remembered google exists and it looks like it does - excellent. Now I can replay Crash 1 out of... masochism, I guess. Zinkraptor fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Jun 29, 2018 |

Deltron 3030 posted:Crash Trilogy is fun so far thru like 5 levels. The graphics and visuals look excellent, frame rate seems a little slow in docked but it's plenty playable. Crash is a great 2.5d platformer with 3d graphics. Its fundamentally not a 3d platformer like mario 64. But if you can just get over that  its good stuff.They still make 2d mario games after all. You'd be dumb to say mario 3 is trash because mario 64 exists. Just different genres. But people often confuse themes for genres.

Theoretically! I also just found out that Yoku's Fancy Pinballvania got a physical release. I'll pick it up when I'm done coolding down from Hollow Knight, but I don't want anything similar to receive the disservice of trying to follow that gem up.

The originals were for the most part tough but fair. You could trust your jumps, and if you were even remotely on a platform, you were on a platform. The remake in comparison has had so many deaths where i'm slipping through the side of a platform or hippo into death, or a full speed jump just hasn't been enough for seemingly no reason. It's still a beatable game, but it's neither fun nor polished in it's current form.
