I don’t follow him on Twitter and I would buy it, so his logic doesn’t really make much sense. If Twitter is the barometer for anything, then God help us!
Nintendo should never have let Rare go. They could have made some classic games for Nintendo for years instead of the rubbish they made for Xbox, after Microsoft ruined them.
Brilliant stuff as ever, so many great N64 mods available on the real hardware now. Snooplax is another one worth following for that, does some good lists.
@N00BiSH it's not all been bad and I think Rare would have changed a lot anyway but I think we have missed out on a lot of gold because of the Microsoft takeover. I still lament the loss of Donkey Kong Racing!
Not as good a game as BOTW or OOT for me. Played 120 hours but didn’t really gel with it that much. A lot of building and YouTube guides were needed to figure stuff out, not a fan of either of those things. Let’s have some proper dungeon next time
I think quality games can be made without all the expense. Look at how many instant classics came out in the N64 era. Most AAA games are a massive disappointment and rarely satisfy in actual quality gameplay. I’m not convinced gameplay is any better now than it was back then.
Two very good games, I even played a lot of the fan made campaigns on the first game. As a big advance wars fan I'm glad this exists as we sure as hell aren't getting another advance wars and this game is the best 'copy' version (especially 2) while having plenty of unique elements to it.
Lots of really good rom hacks out there already. Not sure how you would make it easy for us non programmers to make a 3D game though. Dreams was a total flop in the end
Not the surprise I think most were hoping for. TOTK was a let down to me, not because it was a bad game but it didn't feel that different to BOTW. I didn't realise that would be an issue for me but it just didn't have that WOW factor that I have come to expect from the series. I also now miss the style of dungeons from OOT, hope they add some proper ones for the next game.
Joycons aren't that comfy and I find after a while they don't slot in that well, they loosen a bit while playing which is distracting in handheld. Would prefer something more sturdy.
I notice the bosses don’t talk about how sorry they are, just what a bright future they are setting up for the company by doing this. What a load of guff!

Re: Video: New Yooka-Replaylee Gameplay Revealed In Deep Dive "Explainer" Trailer
If it has enough changes from the original I will probably get it. Just wish it was a sequel instead.
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Physical Release Confirmed (Japan)
@LXP8 you think Nintendo doesn’t use AI at all in their business?
Re: Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time Physical Release Confirmed (Japan)
@VoidofLight virtually every company in the world will be using AI to some extent. So good luck with that!
Can’t believe they aren’t releasing this physically in the West!

Re: Shovel Knight Returns In New 'Yooka-Replaylee' Trailer
It would be better to see the underdeveloped areas of the game rather than the already stellar first level!
Re: Level-5's Long-Awaited Fantasy Life Sequel Seems To No Longer Be A Switch Exclusive

Re: Xbox Studio Rare Excited About The Return Of Banjo-Tooie Next Week
If Rare had only stayed with Nintendo I wonder how many great games we could have got over the past 20 years. Shame really

Re: Talking Point: Could Another Nintendo Series Take Over The 'Traditional' Zelda Template?
I’ve got an idea. How about Zelda franchise does it rather than a clone! What a strange article to write, wishing for a Zelda clone.

Re: Review: Cavern Of Dreams (Switch) - A Rich, Rare Homage To The N64's Finest 'Formers
@rjejr lol I'll just assume you didn't play SM64 or Banjo Kazooie if you think the gameplay of PS2 Ratchet etc is better
Re: Review: Cavern Of Dreams (Switch) - A Rich, Rare Homage To The N64's Finest 'Formers
@rjejr SM64 and Banjo Kazooie were miles ahead of any of the games you mentioned and released a generation before
