If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

Games are pretty good at stories now that stuff like this seems unnecessary. Like live action versions of cartoons.

.... its not that it is "necessary" it just might make for a good tv show?

You don't adapt things because you need to. I don't think anybody making movies out of videogames was ever thinking "I'm going to save the story of this videogame with my amazing movie", if anything its the direct opposite and movies usually barely involve the story of the games.

But unless you only play videogames and never watch tv shows anymore (I dunno about you but I enjoy both depending upon how I'm feeling, games are more engaging) I don't see the problem lol

Also, games have been good at stories since the 90s.

I bought I think 50+ DS games and probably 40+ on 3DS they are extremely powerful handhelds

i like having my handheld as a handheld. i already made my vita able to dock before realising im never going to use it like that so the lite was an easy choice, and the huge price reduction between the lite and the regular meant i could actually afford a switch, which is even more win and also epic

The DS was hampered by having extremely low tech 3D, causing most games on it to look like poo poo. The 2D games were generally good once they'd stopped relying on the gimmicks.

The 3DS was hampered by being a piece of poo poo in every conceivable way.

Now that people are getting nostalgic over PS1 aesthetics the DS is rightfully getting re-examined as Nintendo's PS1 aesthetic.

I was looking up images of Game Boy Micro to post as a joke and the first image was an advertisement for a silicone penis so there's your answer.

yeah it had a built-in light (originally frontlit, then revised to backlit), rechargeable battery, and a clamshell design. it was the total package. it made the original gba look like a piece of poo poo (not unlike what the ds lite did to the ds)

The DS Lite has a pathetic hinge. I've come to own two DS Lites and both of them had that infuriating broken hinge that made me appreciate the much tankier DS phatty. Feature-wise, though, yeah, totally blew the DS up.

Gold Zelda 3DS is the best a handheld is going to get and even that behemoth was really pushing the limits of pocketability. At least it still protected it's own screen. The Switch is just like "scratch me daddy"

Resident Evil was about making a game version of zombie movies so putting that back into film/TV will ignore what's novel about it and will result in a very generic zombie show.

Just played Pathfinder Kingmaker for two hours so far and I'm a little burnt out already. I've just now left the character creation screen and I'm already thinking it's time to restart or quit.

Im kind of amused that in Yugioh for switch the promise is you can play through all the TV shows story arcs but for the first series at least its been like every major card battle from the first arc, the majority of the battles in the second arc, and then like one battle per the remaining 3 arcs who even cares these are filler trash.
