I disagree. It’s a weird feeling playing them on switch. It’s ALMOST ok. Almost. But it also almost feels like you’re playing a game slightly almost drunk.

Streaming-only is awful. Even if perfectly implemented it is an imperfect way to consume digital games. You lose your rights, control, and freedoms with streaming only. To say nothing of it murdering preservation. To also say nothing of how it corners out developers and publishers from having any real influence in the…

Action Replay Power Saves is the easiest way. It comes with a NFC “puck” and USB writer. 20 pounds plus shipping if you order directly from UK. 30 bucks on eBay already in the states. Unlike the cards and other cheaper tags, you can rewrite the puck infinitely.

Well, if Valve had ambition they certainly could make a game just for the Steamdeck. It has its own OS flavor, Valve curated hardware AND partnership with AMD. Since it isn’t QUITE stock in a few important ways.

Literally the only reason I have one preordered. Otherwise, I might have waited a bit longer but gotta have much more competent and freeing emulation. Retroarch is my favorite explicitly since it has the best CRT phosphor filters, among plenty of other features. While it’s not AS important on a small screen it’s still…

I don’t understand why games aren’t licensing content like movies do. The budgets aren’t that drastically different anymore, and they’re certainly much closer to movies from last century and early this century.

Even professional reviews are a joke these days. A few magazines used to have 3-4 people review a single game. That was my favorite format.

Yeah, reading is hard. Matches your whining. I said “best platform to play games only it can play”

Clearly, you have issues.

Dekudeals.com is the best deal site for Nintendo and has price tracking and history so you know how good of a deal it is. Isthereanydeal is great for PC, but I haven’t found any sites for Xbox or Playstation that work quite as well. Anyone have any sites? Deku has Xbox and PS in beta but still needs work and XBdeals…

Yoshi + Red Koopa = Fireball

Yep. Guy is seriously overrated as a business executive for anything after Pizza Hut. A great PR guy and he helped “make Nintendo cool again” from an executive talking head perspective but that’s it. I think he had one successful Wii campaign, that was actually his, and he was against doing the Japanese campaigns in…

Yep. The switch carts are actually closer than ever to classic carts in that regard because they are also read-only-memory. You can’t save anything to them even though technically they’re basically nand flash.

Do all these tracks have videos of them? Has anyone recreated them based on that? It’s not perfect but it’s more than other games get.

lol absolutely it’s all business. As it should be. I don’t begrudge that.

Yes. To clarify:

Yep, absolutely right. But there is nothing stopping them from doing more or doing a catch-all for the remaining if Mr. Corporate Monkey was serious or had any material influence that mattered.

Rings hollow when they are only doing BC for games they can sell again. There is no legal barrier from them offering TRUE software BC; just from licensing and reselling the games digitally or new disc runs. Of course, that could also be worked out in various fashions if they truly “cared”.

Modding software is just as legal as modding hardware. The automotive industry is the most famous example of having the hardware side of things proven. Sony went to court over Bleemcast and I think it was called VGS emulator. They lost both cases on the principles and I think VGS might have done it wrong but the…

You’re confusing copyright with Trademark. You don’t have to defend your copyright to keep it or defend it later. You can pick and choose your battles.
