Single joycon is barely usable, but the Wiimote was terrible for sideways holding.
Its shape was clearly never intended for it, and the d-pad was absolutely awful, one of the worst I’ve used.
The d-pad worked as buttons (which was how most games used it, in vertical mode), but for movement it was very stiff and almost impossible to get diagonals. For a console that featured virtual console heavily and needed a lot of classic controls, that was very bad design.
Both screens were also just awful about blurring during fast movement. Nintendo wisely avoided it altogether,
While mostly true, they should have told Rare too. Between blurring and bad contrast, Donkey Kong Land was almost unplayable.
(By the way, screens with bad blurring from fast moving stuff were still a thing for a long time after that. Dracula X Chronicles for PSP had the original PC-Engine Rondo of Blood in it. Small, fast black bats on a bright background were almost perfectly invisible)
I’m pretty sure the gamegear lost that war because it couldn’t really be used as a handheld. Not with that battery life.
The game boy may have been a very limited system, but you could bring it with you and play Tetris for hours and hours… or for its second wind, show your pokémon to everyone at school.
I like Minish Cap but my one problem with it is WHY THE FUCK CAN’T I MAKE A HOUSE FOR THE THIRD ORACLE???
I mean, there are clearly a building site for it and dialogue hints for a third house. They obviously shipped the game with an unfinished side quest, I spent hours trying to get it.
A good score can definitely change a game to me, but yeah if you’re going to claim “staff” from legendary games I’d assume more than one guy, and people who had a hand in design.
I know and like lots of games scored by Sakuraba, and not that I don’t like his music but… I don’t know, it tends to sound very same-y and almost random at times. Especially in that 00’s era. There was a corny melody pattern he put in all of his big themes at the time, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Golden Sun all had it somewhere, and I couldn’t hear anything else when it happened.
That said, when it works, it works and it’s pretty unique. True Mirror and Valedictory Elegy from Baten Kaitos are very good, and a perfect fit for their games.
Try to cheat Death and piss off the gods for a free one with unlimited warranty.
You must deal with the delivery yourself though.
French public services tend to switch between FOSS and proprietary software, depending on the politics of the time.
In my little corner of it, they’re leaning toward proprietary right now, especially since a big Microsoft ecosystem deal was kind of forced on us and we’re supposed to go all in. Who knows how long it’ll last though.
Yeah, if they’re the only people from these games involved, that’s more than a bit ridiculous.
This game involves staff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Namco’s Tales, Shining Force, Mario Golf and Star Ocean!
Also, that’s just one person and he makes music.
Hey, I backed that Kickstarter a long time ago!
Time to revisit it I guess.
Still think those people should have gotten a playdate instead, it’s more fun and certainly not less useful (which is, not at all).
(When I first heard about the r1 I immediately thought it was weird how the 2 devices looked alike, I’ve since learned they shared the same designers).
Take the newer ones with hall effect sticks though, it’ll last longer.
Too bad they don’t make it in EU SNES / Super Famicom colour schemes anymore though. I’m sure they do this to avoid problems with Nintendo, but I am not a fan of the new dark gray shell.
The article made that joke too, and… Yeah it’s spot on.
My 80’s computer was a big bulky keyboard with a big monitor, lacking the big separate box (not an Amiga though). Is that what you meant with this?
force everyone’s data into their OneDrive account. OneDrive now at capacity, you must upgrade to ensure all your data is backed up and retained.
If it’s made without any agreement from the user (hundred pages long EULA doesn’t count), time to GRPD the fuck out of them.
Game doesn’t exist anymore where I live, but the last thing I bought from a similar store (down to overpriced games and being mostly about merch) was a 8bitdo controller several years ago. I was there, price was not excessive, and it was slightly more convenient than having one delivered.
Beyond that… I went a couple times just to pick up a free event pokémon on 3DS, and nothing else, and I think the last actual game I got from them must have been Order of Ecclesia on the DS.
The French branch filed bankruptcy 10 years ago.
Some of the stores became Micromania-Zing (owned by gamestop) which amazingly enough still exists.
Yeah, those have been primarily funko pop stores for years too. Their new games are like 20% more expensive than everyone else, and their second hand games priced like everyone else’s new.
The combination of that knowledge and your username is disturbing.
Until they give a “better” reason, I am going to assume the one they hinted at is true, and Microsoft just decided that it was worthless because it wasn’t “Mikami’s studio” anymore. Honestly, I already suspected it.
In which case, fuck them. These games were not made by one person, a studio is bigger than its director. And the rest of them didn’t get even one chance to prove themselves.
Truly shows how little they value the people who make their games.
I don’t know what kind of funny or what style of review you’re looking for, but there’s Matt McMuscles, who does “What Happened” and “The worst fighting game”.
What happened is not technically always about bad games, but about troubled development in general. Most of them do end up rather disastrous or at least disappointing and are known for it though.
The worst fighting game, however, exclusively reviews bad games, since, well, he’s looking for the worst one.
