I didn’t play FFX for quite a few years after it came out. I’d heard about Blitzball and was so stoked for it, and then after years of waiting I finally played it, and it was a resounding, “eh.” Not quite “meh,” I still liked it, but not nearly as much as I had anticipated. I would definitely welcome a revamp in a…

Fair, I do actually view the Virtual Boy as their most novel console though (I loved that thing), but you’re right that leaves little allowance for actually differentiating anything. I just feel like there’s something to be said of the fact that Wii really didn’t even need new hardware unlike every other console…

You said, “but it seems very likely that they’ll keep the same basic concept and just add a few secondary gimmicks”

I was pointing out more evidence for that conclusion. Despite how much people credit Nintendo for doing something totally different with the Wii, it was still the same basic concept with a secondary…

Not to mention it was based on the Tegra X1 from 9 years ago. The Wii U only ever got one $50 price drop as far as I’m aware despite its abysmal sales. Nintendo’s current pricing model is: t(≖‿≖t)

To be fair, the Wii wasn’t even really a shake up, it was essentially just a Gamecube bundled with a new controller designed for the Gamecube and called a new console... They could have just released the controller for the Gamecube like originally intended and we’d have had the same exact thing except they wouldn’t…

Yeah, I certainly see your point!

But doesn’t shying away from things like 88 and letting it just be a nazi thing give them power by allowing their use to be more effective as dog whistles? Seems like you’re just handing it over to the nazis at that point. I’d think that keeping the name, but making a statement that nazi’s are garbage and you don’t…

I had no idea that Pikmin 4 even got released! :(

Loving all the love for Armored Core VI, but I’m surprised Lies of P isn’t getting more attention, I haven’t beat it yet, but it’s the best not Fromsoft Soulsborne I’ve played yet (unless maybe you count Hollow Knight).

I thought The Batman and Joker were far better than anything Disney has put out, yet DC is still trying to walk in Disney’s footsteps and copy the MCU after the spectacular failure that was their first attempt, I just don’t understand. I’m just glad they’re not trying to shoehorn them into the DCEU and still going…

Disney in general, they really could have used this advice before they bought Star Wars...

At this point there are two things that should be standard to first party controllers yet aren’t:

I see what you’re saying! Yep, definitely due for a reread, and thanks for taking the time to list a bunch of it out!

See, I guess I felt like Dr. Manhattan still fulfilled that role just fine. By that time he was basically an uncontrollable god. He vaporized Americans on live TV and then nuked America going so far as obliterating Manhattan for which he was named via the Manhattan project, metaphorically erasing his superhero name…

I actually preferred the movie’s ending. I felt like it actually gave Dr. Manhattan good symmetry with Ozymandius, the hero that was actually the villain uniting mankind, by making Dr. Manhattan the hero, that everybody thinks is the villain uniting mankind. And that opening credit scene was perfection. But while the…

Just wanted to thank you for taking the time to write that all out for somebody that clearly has no interest in legitimate discourse, because while it was lost on them, I found it incredibly informative!

Hey now, be happy for him, he’s finally getting married! ^_^

“For those unaware of Kuma, well, first off, rude.”

You’re not wrong! It’s not necessarily a bad thing to not prioritize money (often it’s actually a good thing), but a lot of their decisions just leave me utterly baffled. It would be incredibly interesting to see an Eastern perspective of some projects.

I’m no expert, sounds like you know about as much as I do. Here’s a fun toy to play with though :)
