I’d love to see that but it won’t happen because a) this is Nintendo we’re talking about - they’re not going to add a DS cart slot to the Switch when they could just re-release the games digitally and get people to pay for them again, as they did on the Wii U and b) most DS games wouldn’t work on the because there is…

Best selling? In what way? Because the Switch sold faster than the 3DS in the first year of sales and DS has sold almost twice as many units in total, so I don’t think the 3DS is or ever has been Nintendo’s best selling platform in any respect.

I don’t know if they’ve technically filed for bankruptcy but, from a business perspective, they have been hit with a class action lawsuit from the employees they let go (because of the lack of notice, severance payments, etc.) so getting them hired at another company would probably go a long way towards mitigating…

At this point, I’d say get a Vita over a PSP. Yes, it costs significantly more, but not only can it do everything the PSP can, it does it on a better screen and with the added advantage of being able to play actual Vita games and remote play PS4 games (if you have a PS4). They’re ridiculously easy to hack (and PSP…

Yes, it runs really well. The Switch is more than powerful enough to emulate most of the consoles RetroArch covers and has hardware that it’s easy to port to and optimise for (it’s got the same processor as an nVidia Shield, which has had RetroArch for a while).

The N64 has a relatively complicated architecture, making it vastly more difficult to emulate than the relatively simple NES and SNES and even its contemporary, the PSX. It was reportedly pretty difficult to program for at the time as well, and it’s difficult to emulate for the same reasons. Even Nintendo seem to…

Yes, it says this in the article. It’s already pretty much fully functional because it was so easy to port. Also GameCube and Wii games can already be played on the Switch via the Dolphin emulator, although that’s not quite as optimised or user friendly to install yet.

People will have already bought the entire final season so if Telltale don’t finish it they’ll only have bought half a game. So it’s not about creating more games to sell, it’s about finishing one they’ve already sold.

Is there a reason they haven’t given VIII the same treatment as VII?

The concept of art direction is lost on this person.

I have it on DVD - but I live in the UK, which is Region 2, and it was only ever released in the US, which is Region 1. This was fine when I bought it because I had a region free DVD player. Sadly, that is no longer the case. I guess I need to make some region-free copies of the discs, or just rip the episodes to hard…

I would be very careful about reading other people’s reviews before writing my own because I would be concerned that, if I did have the same opinion, their wording would make its way into my own writing. That way, if I did write a review saying the framerate was ‘silky smooth’ and then someone pointed out that someone…

What’s weird is that he seems to have gotten worse at plaigiarism over time. I mean, I trawled through the Fifa review and it’s not badly paraphrased, it’s just a few key phrases such as ‘silky smooth’ that stand out and the fact that it makes the exact same points in roughly the same number of words/sentences that…

Hey, that’s my opinion - don’t plaigiarise me!

You’re mixing up acronyms and initialisms. An acronym is, by definition, pronounced as a single word, whereas an initialism is where you pronounce each individual letter. So ‘FBI’ is an initialism, pronounced ‘Eff Bee Aye’, because you can’t really pronounce it as a single word. ‘PIN’ is an acronym because you can…

All acronyms are pronounced as single words - that’s what makes them an acronym. Pronouncing the individual letters would make it an initialism.

If it’s an acronym, then it would be pronounced Sness. 

Your?

No, if it’s pronounced like a single word it’s an acronym, if you pronounce each letter individually it’s an initialism. 

But do they mean Ness as in the Loch Ness Monster, or Ness as in Nez (with a hard Z sound at the end), which is how I’ve always said it and how everyone else in the UK tends to say it?
