Exactly what part of Nintendo selling old Nintendo games constitutes "other people's work"?

If it’s some sort of legal thing, then why don’t I get them when I download free games and apps on Xbox, Switch or Steam?

Oh my God, how long will this go on? I know that to you two inches is probably a lot but to everyone else it’s hardly anything.

Nah, fuck that. That’s just the excuse they like to fall back on any time they’re called out on their sloppy work. Whether they like to admit it or not, this is a news site - people come here primarily to find out what’s going on, and the opinion then comes as part of that package. When you can’t even be bothered to…

I don’t really think the Lego Mario thing is anywhere near as cynical as this Pokemon news. That’s just a bit of fun, and it’s promoting another product in the same line: anyone who encounters it has already bought into the Lego Mario idea. It’s no worse than Transformers cartoons.

They’re owned by the media company that owns IGN. It’s not like they were in danger of going bankrupt.

“$70 is not that much” - maybe not to you.

“Everyone piling on”? You haven’t even had 10 people replying to you. Seems a bit hyperbolic if you ask me ;)

Oh thank fuck, I was desperate to know what you thought

Yeah, it definitely isn’t concerning when you bring that up completely unprompted.

Never forget Saliva’s theme for the reboot of Spy Hunter, the most 2001 song ever.

Why? The Game Awards is an industry event that focus mainly on trailers (not awards) and relies on the support of publishers for its content, so Nintendo is within its rights to threaten to pull that support if the show is promoting unofficial games using its IP. Why the hell would it agree to be on the same show,…

It certainly does feel more like the Look How Many People Geoff Keighley Knows show. No other big industry awards show is hosted by the person who produces it.

One of those fan games, Pokemon Uranium, was downloaded 1.5 million times, which led to a shitload of Let’s Plays and the like online. That clearly could have had a potential impact on sales of legit Pokemon games. There’s no “guilty until proven innocent” there: when a ‘fan game’ becomes big enough that it builds its…

So this is basically exactly the same situation as Lights Out, which started as a short film (which is very similar, incidentally) and was then turned into a full-length movie

I implore you all not to ignore Genesis Noir. Played the demo in that summer games thing and it was amazing

To be fair, anyone with a keen eye would have already known there was going to be some sort of multiverse stuff going on in this one. In that ‘Same Day Premieres’ trailer shown in the article, you see something like 4 seconds of Space Jam 2 footage, but if you pause it you can see the likes of the Animaniacs tower,…

Hey, piss off. The article also said the Nintendo Direct was crap too. YOU’RE the fanboy here, jumping to Sony’s defence any time you see the slightest shred of criticism while ignoring the context around it. Calm down and sit down.

Some speculated the player behind SFVRyuPlayerLol had to be Wednesday Night Fights organizer Alex Valle. The fighting game veteran is a legendary Ryu player in his own right, after all, and he’s known to pick the same Street Fighter V outfit SFVRyuPlayerLol used throughout the night.

As opposed to your comment, where nothing of value was gained.
