  10. Nintendo was successful with the DS, they made a 3DS which was a lot more expensive, which failed and they had to lower the price. Nintendo was successful with the Wii, they made a Wii U that was more expensive and included no pack in game that the original had. The Wii U failed. Nintendo was successful with the Switch, they made the Switch 2 everything more expensive. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sBYjSzb9xKg#

  17. Selbst mein Kumpel der reiner PlayStation Gamer ist, ist sehr gelangweilt und enttäuscht von der PS5. Letztens meinte er „alles Remakes oder Remaster, alte Marken und Games die man schon kennt und die paar ganz neuen Titel sind irgendwie alle so unbefriedigend und seelenlos, immer das Gleiche“. https://www.ntower.de/community/thread/98056-der-allgemeine-gerüchte-thread-für-den-nintendo-switch-nachfolger/?postID=2174867#post2174867

  23. Sony literally hated Nintendo so much and was so anti-customer they deliberately went out of their way to get FINISHED games canceled, like Jelly Boy 2 for example which could've been great All to make their own console, split support and lineups, give us nothing but annoying console war and now stupid AAA movie games https://nintendoeverything.com/former-playstation-exec-nintendo-left-the-company-standing-at-the-altar-with-snes-add-on-courted-square-with-whiskey-to-get-final-fantasy-7-off-n64/

  26. Allerdings würde das andere Publisher nicht davon abhalten solche Kompilationen von deren N64 Titeln zu bringen.....kommen aber auch nicht. Und bei denen liegt es dann tatsächlich eher an den Emulationsproblemen. In der gesamten Evercade Cartridge Collection gibt es maximal 2 oder 3 N64 Games....und man bemerkt sofort das das System am Rande der Leistungsfähigkeit läuft und das obwohl die Emulation itself gerade mal ne 3 als Schulnote bekommen würde. Für halbwegs ordentliche Emulation braucht es wohl mindestens ne PS5/XSX.....und sehr gute Developer. Ich glaube, solange das nicht von Digital Eclipse kommt, würde da auch nichts ordentliches rauskommen und dann ist die Frage: kommt das Geld für die Entwicklung wieder rein? Die meisten N64 Kracher sind nämlich meist von Nintendo selbst. Und damit schließt sich dann der Kreis. Aber seien wir ehrlich: kommerziell kaufbare PS1 Games Kollektionen gibt es auch nicht wirklich und selbst bei Sony itself gibt es nur eine sehr bescheidene Auswahl an PS1 Titeln für PS4/5......und das liegt nicht an Emulationsproblemen, sondern mehr an Lizenzen (wer hat die? Kein Scherz, es gibt massenhaft alte Games wo eigentlich kein Mensch weiß wer die Rechte momentan besitzt) und geringen Interesse. https://www.ntower.de/community/thread/103360-sega-classics-weitere-spiele-verschwinden-demnächst-von-diversen-plattformen/?postID=2123408#post2123408

  33. • The console market is so anti-consumer with it's "exclusives'. There's honestly no reason to buy consoles without that, unless you want something on the go like a Switch or Steam Deck - which are a little more mobile than laptops.
  34. • I kind of want Sony to just go away now, they're actually making gaming a bit more difficult.

Starting as a traditional horror experience called Kurayami, Grasshopper Manufacture's anticipated title ended up being a gonzo shooter in which Mikami and Suda’s signature was diluted https://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/shadows-of-the-damned-hella-remastered

  47. I love the kick back against VR / AR. With Meta eyeing it as a new way of sucking people into some nightmare vision of the future, I'm glad its not caught on. AR has some cool uses, and should absolutely be used for training and health and also for fun, but not as the main technology we interface with as a species! https://www.eurogamer.net/after-ditching-psvr-support-minecraft-is-officially-abandoning-vr-on-pc-from-next-year?view=comments

  50. According to a translation of the developer's investor relations, Pearl Abyss was approached by Sony, with the PlayStation maker hoping to act as publisher for the studio's upcoming open world action-adventure. Should Pearl Abyss have taken Sony up on its offer, Crimson Desert would have remained a PlayStation exclusive for one year, "with no release on Xbox". PC distribution rights would also have belonged to Sony. https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-wanted-to-lock-crimson-desert-into-a-timed-playstation-exclusivity-deal-but-pearl-abyss-said-no

  53. According to Retro Blast — and others — the Wii U has a major issue, and that issue rears its ugly head when left without power for too long. More specifically, when left without power for too long, the Wii U runs the risk of dying from memory corruption. When this happens, users will be met with the screen below.
  54. This is a known issue, and apparently it impacts different Wii Us differently depending on what internal chip it has. In the development of the Wii U, Nintendo used a variety of manufactures, including: Toshiba, Hynix, and Samsung. And it is believed that Hynix chips are the most prone to failure. Specific to the Wii U, the black version is also believed to be more prone than other versions because of its use of the Hynix chips.

  90. I'd rather Nintendo spend all their time and resources on new games for the new system. Spectards who count frames and the number of p's on the screen are currently a bane on the industry. If you wanna play botw, play botw on wii U or switch. Those extra 5 frames or 100 p's don't make the game better. https://nintendoeverything.com/rumor-nintendo-working-on-project-with-codename-u-king-o-possible-new-version-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/

  96. critical of the FF7 Remakes. I didn’t really like it either. I didn’t finish the first one and haven’t played Rebirth. In general, over the last few years, I have felt more and more alienated from modern gaming and the FF7 Remake is a perfect example of why.

  118. The subscription model might seem great at first but it does have it's flaws. Certain kinds of games will eventually be prioritized as they may be a better fit for the subscription model and while there are lots of games being made for the services now, soon the company will need to cap how much it will make in relation to the subscribers it's bringing in. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/01/players-need-to-start-feeling-comfortable-with-not-owning-games-says-ubisoft-subs-boss<=>

  142. Das Ergebnis ist oft das Spiele zu hoch gejubelt werden oder auch mal zu Unrecht verdammt werden. Ich habe bei vielen Spielen festgestellt, daß Reviews, die nicht direkt zum Release des Spiels erscheinen, sondern erst ne Woche später (oder so), oftmals differenzierter Bewerten und da 90% Spiel bei denen dann nur 82% hat oder auch andersherum ein 65% Game von denen dann eine 75% bekommt. Die Tests ansich lesen sich in der Basis oft ähnlich.....nur das hier der Tester viel mehr Zeit hatte über das Spiel zu reflektieren und sich dadurch weniger von Hype und Hetze (damit ist gemeint: Test muss schnell fertig werden) getrieben fühlt. Und das ist normal: eine Arbeit ist immer qualitativer wenn man mehr Zeit hatte. https://www.ntower.de/community/thread/99060-warum-dennis-denkt-dass-super-mario-bros-wonder-nicht-perfekt-ist/?postID=2004701#post2004701

  242. What part of the video game industry are you currently interested in, or excited about?
  243. • The death of local co-op, death of mid tier games, focus on "online experiences" and general rush to make things wide appeal and inoffensive means very little is all that appealing and I mostly wait on whatever does manage to make it through the traps of mediocrity as far as new games. On the other hand all the stuff being done to expand old games way beyond what those back then could dream of, replicate consoles at transistor level, interface old consoles with new tech, replicate and enhance old controllers, fix things new and old, plumb the depths of unknown pins/hidden functionality on new and old... that keeps me paying attention. https://gbatemp.net/threads/gbatemp-extraordinaire-5-questions-to-a-legendary-temper-fast6191.622970/

  255. Gerade Always online sollte man nicht unkritisch sehen. Zum einen laufen die Systeme oft leider nicht reibungslos und nicht jeder hat eine starke und stabile Internetverbindung. Wir haben hier mit unsere "Deutschlandgeschwindigkeit" weit größere Probleme als viele andere Länder. Jedoch sieht es auch in anderen Ländern weit weniger rosig aus als hier getan wird, so das Onlineprobleme eine beachtliche Anzahl von Gamern betrifft. Hinzu kommt, dass Standardfunktion wie Stand By dadurch oft nutzlos werden, weil es nach dem "Aufwachen" erstmal einen Verbindungsabbruch gibt. Gerade Always Online sehe ich als legitimen Grund für eine Abwertung, da es die technische Qualität und Benutzerfreundlichkeit eines Spiels negativ beeinflusst. Man muss nicht jede Schnapsidee der Branche positiv oder neutral betrachten.

  259. Activision and Blizzard merging was terrible for Blizzard fans. 20 years later, most people agree that SquareSoft and Enix becoming Square-Enix allowed us to play some great games and there are franchises that stayed well, but overall, the merger was bad for those who liked what both companies had to offer. EA has a history of buying smaller companies, ruining them and their franchises, and shutting them down. Before Konami became a terrible company, they bought and absorbed Hudson, not only ruining the Castlevania, Contra and many other Konami franchises, but also ruining Bomberman, Adventure Island and other Hudson franchises. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2023/04/microsofts-activision-blizzard-acquisition-has-been-officially-blocked-in-the-uk

  298. The most egregious element is the fact that (at least on Switch) one can't just buy the game outright. Xbox kind of gets around that by just buying Rare Replay, but AFAIK right now, GoldenEye can't be purchased directly on Xbox either. I'm so happy and thrilled to see GoldenEye return, but jeez it's a far from ideal distribution method. When Switch is retired, will GoldenEye disappear again along with it? https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2023/01/iconic-goldeneye-gong-sound-potentially-missing-from-switch-online-version

  307. Nintendo's repair service is mad for that. I sent in my New 3DS XL earlier this year, as the battery cover had cracked around the screws and had general wear, so needed replacing (and it's almost impossible to find any replacements, let alone ones that fit properly). I had to send the console in for an assessment and quote, which came back at £80 for the damaged battery cover but also "image problem: damaged upper screen". This, I think, was just a couple of very tiny cosmetic scratches https://www.eurogamer.net/nintendo-switch-joy-con-drift-due-to-design-flaw-uk-consumer-group-reports?view=comments
