Outside of Pokemon Go, I haven’t really seen a game that has grabbed the mainstream’s psyche in such a way that the Atari/NES had. I don’t even recall a console doing that outside of the Wii.

Steam may as well be that ‘one tent for all your friends’ place. And if that’s the only value of consoles...you really want to spend $200-600+ every generation to get that?

Maybe that would upset me if I was doing this as some ‘hawt take’ or whatever it is you wanna project on me.

I actually read the article, which is why the headline seems misleading.

This headline seems...misleading? It sounds like you’re saying up top that this was a thing Marvel was making and then cancelled (‘canned’), and then in the article it sounds like this was a fan project that Marvel C&Ded.

I have a beast of a PC and I still choose to do most of my gaming on a console,

Look at it from this perspective:

So now it costs as much as XBL, and people are getting very mad about this?

If you bought one less than a year ago, and it died and cost you $150 to fix it within 6 months of use, you definitely got screwed with this news...

I really enjoyed the original, despite some drawbacks (combat always felt more finicky for an adventure game?) - I’ll give this a go.

Someone 3D printed a ‘real’ NX controller, so...

I’ve had friends echo this, so it’d be great to try the first one out!

I’m playing it for the first time ever, and think it’s cute! I’m giving it a lot of leeway in the controls department (I remember PS2 games were still getting the hand of and experimenting with 3D cameras, control schemes, etc.), and I miss when platformers were still a big enough genre that large publishers and devs…

Hey, remember that part where I said I don’t care about minutiae of the show?

I remember an interview done way back where Retro said their initial idea for Metroid Prime was having Samus be an actual bounty hunter, running odd jobs in space with her skill set.

No - those are Gamers, not Nintendo fans complaining. But Gamers love to hate Nintendo. No amount of quality development will ever change this.

I understand losing sucks, but the approach of an all-or-nothing attitude, “he wasn’t first so he’s the biggest loser/retard/waste of space ever” cries are ridiculous.

Spoiler: It never happens.

...because?

Everyone acts like, because he lost the top spot, he’s a loser.
