Good thing Double Dash is a video game, and not literal garbage, so you do actually have to have played it to have any kind of opinion on it

If the only time you're allowed to make a judgement call on media is by personally experiencing it firsthand for an arbitrary length of time then I hope you've never ever decided something wasn't worth your time. After all, how would you know unless you experienced it yourself????

Do you know what "advertising" is

So you recognise that people are able to form opinions on things without first experiencing them, yet somehow this is invalid when that opinion is negative.


Xavier434 posted:

You do realize that is possible to choose not to spend your time doing something while simultaneously not passing judgement on it right?

Choosing to not spend your time on something is a judgemental act, you are saying that your time is worth more than whatever it is you're not doing.



Adding an extra character to your vehicle does not deepen or enhance the base experience of Mario Kart in any significant way, as evidenced by the fact that it was removed in the sequel.

You (generic "you" here) realize that regardless of your own opinions on Mario Kart Colon Double Dash, "it's the best racing game ever made" is indefensible hyperbole, right? What would Mario Kart 8 be then? A disappointing followup?

I would disagree insofar as the two player co-op races were very fun. Letting my copilot handle items so I could focus on driving, and vice versa, made for a different kind of game than usual. And the two racer feature didn't hurt the game design at all. Double Dash has some of the best MK tracks ever.

Well that's fine, so long as you don't call it "the best racing game ever made".

I don't think you can attribute any of that to inertia.

you can definitely attribute the handheld dominance to inertia since they got an early lead so massive it's difficult to compete

nintendo snowballed into a position of handheld dominance and by the time anyone else could compete handhelds as a platform stopped being profitable, it's kind of sad really.

actually handhelds are really interesting here as well bcos sony hosed up really badly. the PSP sold really well and put them in a great position but they went and released the vita next so rip. never mind tho cos as u said its a dead market anyway, and has shrunk by a ridiculous amount between the DS/PSP and 3ds/vita gens

it's really hosed up that the vita is capable of actually emulating things and the PSN actually has sales and price drops and deals yet nintendo gets all the virtual console rights, time to go play all my favourite game gear games

Sony could've beat the 3DS after its initial stumble if they hadn't hosed the Vita even worse.

Aside from the memory card issue and the price of the games pretty much every criticism you can level against the Vita not having a breakout success you can also level against the 3DS

yeah but they did actually cut the price, plus the inertia

yeah that was sort of my point, they both had horrible horrible launches that mostly mirrored each other but the 3DS survived because Nintendo Is Handhelds and Sony doesn't get that luxury.
