This thread is a paved parking lot outside a Whole Foods that's still 2 months away from opening and people are complaining about kids using it to play dodge ball.

Be glad they stopped using your driveway, ya Grampas and Grandmas!!!

Also some other kids came by to talk about how lovely dodge ball is and that street hockey is objectively more fun due to sales of street hockey equipment.

It's really weird, I feel like Sony games and to a larger extent indie games, though many are very good, have been getting a real loving pass by reviewers. Everything that comes out is goty.

Sony first-party IPs need to build up their reputation hardcore so that the next time they do a Smash Bros. knock-off they aren't scrambling for potential characters such as Fat Princess and Guy From Killzone. And then maybe they'll get better third-party characters besides Big Daddy from timed-exclusive Xbox 360 game BioShock and the Dante nobody wanted.

If the NX lacks an optical drive, then that means there isn't going to be backward compatibility with the Wii U. Which I think is a shame, especially because Nintendo was so good about BC these past few gens, but oh well.

If this generation of consoles has taught us anything, it's that backwards compatibility is pointless when people are more than willing to buy "Remastered" ports of last generation games that they've already played through with no problem whatsoever, even if it's only been like a year or two since it was originally released.

An i7-6700K and two GTX 1080s in SLI w/ 32 GB DDR4 RAM, at an easy $150 USD. That's all Nintendo needs to win the war. Hire me Nintendo, I know how to Newegg a console up.

  • buying a used NES off of craigslist/ebay as well as a decent composite to HDMI scaler (good luck finding one that doesn't stretch the video horizontally) – ~$30 for the NES, and about $50 for the scaler

You could also probably just get a CRT TV and save about $50. Maybe somebody will give theirs away.

Everything Nintendo makes is a failure. Except for the SNES, unless you were a Genesis fanboy in the 16-bit era.

Warn everybody that they can get third-party games and better hardware by buying a gaming PC PS4 because it's powerful but not confusing and scary and $5,000 that I still believe gaming PCs are valued at.

But wait for the next version of the PS4 to get the most RAMs and TFLOPs.

Sega doing the surprise Saturn release at E3 1995 was bad mostly because it was E3 1995, not E3 2015 in the age of streaming videos and up-to-the-minute game news. They also failed to inform a lot of developers and retailers that it was going to be released earlier than the September '95 launch date.

You play PS3 games on PS4 or PC or I guess a Sony smart TV via NotOnLive. At $19.99 per month, you could probably save more money buying a cheap rear end PS3 and pick up a ton of games for under $10 a piece.

I use a cord extender attached to the console and hook up the other end to a breakout box installed on the wall. Then I installed controller ports all over the house, about five feet apart from one another, so I can connect a wired controller anywhere in the house. I do the same with electrical outlets all over my lovely house.
