Actually quite a few of the games on the Wii were altered from their original release versions. Some games had glitches, and played fairly well, but when compared side by side you could spot the differences. I know F-Zero X was the one I noticed right off the bat. But it was nothing major. That’s the nature of…

I’m curious why you’d want a machine that can play TG-16 games when it at best will only run them as well as the best emulator. I know the systems can be relatively pricey, but so are it’s games. If you’re going to get the games, you might as well get the system. With something like this system, you’re not going to…

well I think the real use for stuff like this is pretty niche. it’s really only worthwhile if you have a collection of older games, but don’t have a collection of older game systems; or maybe you prefer not having all the mess and organization it takes to hook up several old games systems.... BUT and there’s the big…

The big question is does this use any stolen code like the Retron5 did?

I agree. I think it even goes further in that people unfairly generalize all mobile games as Skinner Boxes riddled with overpriced inapp purchases, while also generalizing other gaming platforms as not having these problems.

oh okay. I guess the devil’s in the details. I guess I just didn’t have enough information. But to be fair Valve’s corporate structure (as you yourself pointed out) is pretty unique, so it can be easy to miss these nuances.

uhhhh yeah i know that one and it’s not necessarily true. Team Fortress started out a mod that Valve bought the rights too and hired the people working on so of course they worked on making it’s sequel. and Portal was a spiritual successor to the student game Narbacular Drop whose team Valve also hired to make a…

Yeah, there is some merit to this, and I may have overstated the effect it will have. Valve is pretty entrenched in the PC gaming market and have a quasi-monopoly on the digital market there. So even if gamers don’t like it they are likely to still use the service. I still think it’s bad business to run their company…

yes I do. my point was your definition of the word is far from the only one. the dictionary backs me up. it’s clear proof you’re wrong. it’s no big deal. it’s a common misconception. i even heard Movie Bob give a long rant about the same thing not too long ago. he was wrong too. everyone makes mistakes.

Funny. Free speech isn’t mentioned anywhere here:

but the person you were responding to did not mention free speech so you’re changing the topic.

that sounds like a problem with Valve though. and if they refuse to adapt it’s going to come back to bite them hard.

that is not the definition of censorship (though I actually agree with the point you are making). that is one of the definition of the words censorship, but the word is far more encompassing than that and yes this is technically a form of censorship, but it is not government censorship. still it’s disingenuous to…

why would they pay keep a teaser (not a game) on the store when they realized the product it was trying to sell was no longer going to be made? keeping it up is really keeping up an ad for a nonexistent game. it’s both confusing (to potential customers) and it loses them money, instead doing what teasers/demos are…

I really like the songs you posted but I don’t know why you specified 1-4 when talking about the music. Most the series has really great music, even if the suffered in other areas. And Akira Yamaoka did the music for most the other games too. I feel people all too often overlook this because the games were otherwise…

I know everyone is concerned about the graphics and that’s the point of the story... But it’s eerie how much this looks like a girl I once knew (well at least how she looked 5ish years ago)!

once again, graphics and gameplay aren’t mutually exclusive. and no one cares how much you spent on your rig.

*WARNING: LONG AND OPINIONATED RANT (probably needs some editing too heh)*

For Game Boy games, the 3DS even adds a cute overlay to your screen.

how I have always played the Mario Kart series.
