Also, to be honest, you mentioned Punch Out! and you’re sleeping on ARMS? How is this not exactly what you want?! It’s got so much to like for an old school gamer: remember Pro Wrestling and Mike Tysons’ Punch-Out, right? How many hours did your parents 50 bucks get you of entertainment and lifelong memories? You…

I don’t know man. I think we lost that chance to show major publishers any sort of groundswell for those hallmark 8 and 16 bit franchises on Wii. Virtual Console and WiiWare are and old-school gamer paradise, and we failed to make developer and emulation efforts worthwhile. Castlevania, for example. Gamers…

Devs are idiots. The utility of the Switch alone guarantees it surpasses the WiiU. This thing is not going to be 299.99 forever; it will likely have the next Pokemon and Animal Crossing; it’s going against the worst selling console (ever?)

I’m a Nintendo apologist bordering on fanboy and I gotta say: you crazy fam.

I don’t know how old you are, but if N64 was your only system, you were in dire straits. Gamecube was a perfectly good solo system for most of it’s lifetime.

Sounds like you want a Playstation 4. Lucky for you, I think they’ll be available March 3, 2017 as well.

Well, yes. That would the best thing that ever happened. To be fair though, Kid Icarus Uprising, Ultimate Ghouls & Ghosts, and the excellent Konami WiiWare Contra, Gradius, and Castlevania ‘rebirth’ games didn’t exactly set the world on fire.

We definitely disagree on what makes Nintendo great haha. But for real, specifically, what are these great classic franchises you grew up playing that aren’t being represented? F-Zero and Metroid?

Switch’s launch might be disappointing (Zelda BotW and online/portable pickup Bomberman in my hands in less than 2 months notwithstanding... somehow), but WiiU’s launch was pathetic. Mass Effect 3, followed by the Trilogy pack announcement really exemplifies it for me. Outside of ZombiiU I can’t think of anything…

I don’t. I want that vibrancy, innovation, and rule of fun that still, somehow, only Nintendo is solely capable of doing with comfidence and intent consistently. Splatoon, ARMS, 1 2 Switch (in theory) - that post-Miyamoto garage style, that wild creative period from the early DS days: that’s what I’m about.

MSRP is 299.99

As long as Charlie Work is at 1, this is a 5 star list and you’re a 5 star man. I hope rest parks thoughtful discourse and reflection. I might’ve put Boggs higher for being the breakout episode if what I thought was a downward trajectory for a few seasons, and took my least favorite characters, Frank and Dennis, …

A really great player does have to master the roster in a sense: you have to learn matchups. These kind of lower tier victories aren’t uncommon because 1) low tier = less popular, and less effort spent to learn the matchup, and 2) tiers are often wrong. Sure, they change over time, but then what’s the point if…

Thank Christ. Anticipating a hook correctly only being dragged through the goddamn map and unceremoniously wasted just felt awful. I’d also slow down is heal enough to let more characters burn through it. Outplaying a Roadhog should including chasing him down to finish him off, right? Healing isn’t meant to be…

Beautifully put. Mafia III is one of my favorite surprises this generation, and makes me hopeful for the future of the medium at it’s most saturated level (“AAA” games).

To quote Larry David: “would you like to check my penis?”

I did a media blackout after the initial reveal and was very happy with what I got - top ten of 2016 handily.

Scams? It was a mismanagement of expectations on both ends - hardly a scam. Believe it or not, some people actually really enjoyed it!

The horse is dead, enough already. Oy vey!
