Re: Don't Say It Too Loud, But PS5 Has Outsold Wii U In A Year

Paulo

WiiU was and still is an amazing console. But Nintendo wanted it to be everything, forgetting a jack of all trades is a master of none. It was a Wii HD, It was assimetric gameplay, It was off TV etc and couldn't be everything at the same time. Therefore, If the marketing is confusing, of course the consumers will be confused too. Wanna play ZombiU off TV? Tough luck. On the other hand, assymetric multiplayer and multiplayer where one plays on the TV and the other plays on the GamePad is still unmatched in my opinion. And remember some of the best selling Switch games are WiiU games, like Mario Kart 8 and Breath of the Wild.

Re: Metroid Prime Dev Confirms That Nintendo Blocked The Addition Of Super Metroid To The Game

@KingMike no. Wind Waker was released in December 2002 in Japan and March 2003 in América. And the Collection released around the same time. And ALTTP for GBA released in Japan in March 2003 and in América in December 2003. So, the conclusions: they didn't want to release both in the same month in the same territory, and they didn't include ALTTP on the Collection to not cannibalise sales of the GBA game (not having an emulator ready like Super Metroid is a possibility, but why give It for free when you are charging 30 on the GBA?)

Re: Soapbox: Wii Sports Wasn't Just Waggle, It Was An Important Gateway To Gaming

Wii Sports is still a blast to play, having aged very well. Wii Sports Resorts on the other hand is a improved cohesive version, too bad lacking Tennis and Baseball (and Boxing, but Sword Fighting is better). Recently I purchased additional copies of both game and funny they arrived on the mail today, on Wii's and Wii Sports' anniversary.

Re: Hardware Review: Game & Watch: The Legend Of Zelda - A Link To Link's Past

No SNES titles will be available on G & W because of the extra buttons on the SNES pad. Having said that, including the Oracle games would have made more sense.

Not including the original Zelda Game & Watch title was indeed a missed opportunity. Yes, it's dual screen, but It was emulated 20 years ago on a single screen for G & W Gallery 4 for GBA.

Re: Talking Point: Super Mario 3D Land Turns 10 - Was It The Best '3D' Game On 3DS?

Paulo

I think the launch titles Pilotwings and Steel Diver used the 3D pretty well. Even so SM3DL blew them out of the water with better 3D and a lot of content. Many people to this day still think the game is short because they probably never bothered to play the more challenging second quest, playing only half the game. I did but could never beat the final extra stage. SM3DL is fun in its own right, and SM3DW is a improved, more fleshed out version.

Re: Review: Mario Party Superstars - A Party Most Hearty

Paulo

@TryToBeHopeful . Super Mario Party has motion controls that are unplayable on the Switch Lite (unless you have extra joycon - in my opinion the series loses with no motion controls). Also the proposition here is different, a throwback to past titles (is Koopa's Tycoon Town from MP8 here?). Last but not least, a new game instead of DLC means a higher price.

Re: Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda Gets A Snazzy New Trailer

Paulo

@Silly_G yes, I agree with you. Love my G&W SMB, but should have been a lot better with SML, SML 2, SMB 2, SMB 3 and a few Mario G&W titles (Cement Factory and SMB come to mind, and they didn't even use the SMB Ball game). It could have been a real collector's item.

G&W Zelda is improved but still not perfect (no Link's Awakening DX and no Zelda G&W, which has already been emulated for G&W Gallery 4. I honestly didn't expect the Oracle games to be here).
