I think my favorite mode is Stroke Play, with all players going concurrently.  You get the same sort of experience, but without all the waiting for other players to complete their shots.

As far as I can tell, all characters (outside of your Mii, which requires completing Adventure Mode) are available out of the box.

I think the argument is that it takes time and money to port things (which is true), and that Metroid has traditionally been a poor selling franchise that probably wouldn’t net a return worth the effort (which sadly is probably ALSO true).

Actually, I did forget a third thing that’ll get Nintendo’s lawyers dive bombing you... if you do something (like a fangame, artwork, whatever) that they have plans to do themselves.

So maybe this guy has something to worry about if Nintendo has plans to release a wide screen Super Mario World remaster... but I…

Nintendo lets tens of thousands of fan works and emulation (even patches such as this) and whatnot go without complaint every year.

You want the stated reason, or the real one?

On the contrary, gamers, as a collective whole, absolutely want multi-player. It’s not an accident that single-player only games (outside of a handful of exceptions) sell a fraction of multiplayer-based titles.

You can go ahead and keep arguing the irrelevant point all you want. It doesn’t change the problem you willfully refuse to address.

By that logic, there’s never been any “true” capitalist country either. Which is fine because that’s not really the point.

Well, another important distinction between Jackass and these “prank” Youtubers is that, despite appearances, Jackass is a full TV/movie production complete with support staff (like EMTs on site, lawyers in the back ready to smooth over any damages, etc.), whereas these people are just idiots trying to replicate what…

Willful misreading of original comment, followed by increasingly specific physical impossibilities you can perform upon yourself, followed by a MadLibs style mishmash of [derogatory name] and [incongruous insult] and that you can [method of suicide].

Eh... I think you’ll be hard pressed to find any economic system that doesn’t require this in some form. Ask any refugee from any communist or socialist country and they’ll tell you they were under constant pressure for higher production.

Multiple parties don’t necessarily solve anything. Just ask Israel how that’s going for them.

Well, here’s the thing. I’ve never said otherwise. That real development is happening is something that has been sourced from numerous sources. That is true. That can be reported on with confidence.

I’m sure Nintendo is developing new hardware. They’re always tinkering with new hardware. Hell, I can promise you they were beginning development of the next console before the Switch even dropped onto shelves.

I think that cuts to the heart of the problem.

The only thing I laugh about Star Citizen for is how gamers held it up as the “gold standard” after the “disaster” that was No Man’s Sky, and that games funded by gamers would lead to an accountability sorely lacking in the industry!

I think you might be surprised how many non-nude Onlyfans pages there are.  Some of them are in fact very highly subbed.

I dunno if I’d say Ninty is out of touch more than they fundamentally disagree with what internet consensus is more frequently than those online would like.

Viewer counts aren’t any better, buddy. It’s an even BIGGER sausage party by that metric.
