Nintendo [ARCHIVED] Video Game • Page 1680

Been playing Lego Incredibles this past week and while it's fun, gd it's the jankiest game I've played in a looong time. Rough graphics, stuttering cutscenes, and pretty much every play session has glitches that mean I have to quit and replay missions, or else it force closes altogether. Never played a switch game anywhere near this broken.

 

so these Nintendo birthday discount things are bullshit, right? Here I was thinking I'd use the promo code for 15% off a game but apparently it only works for the "my birthday" section of the store which includes plushies and other nonsense

 

Nintendo? Offer a discount? Hilarious.

 

Fucking bangers

 

The choices aren't terribly surprising.

For Congo and Rival Turf, a lot of Jaleco and Data East games are already on the service via the company City Connection, and other games in both franchises are already on the service. Nintendo clearly has a good relationship with them.

Pinball is just one of the few Nintendo made NES games that hadn't shown up yet.

Frankly, I'd be shocked if anything of relevance got added to the service for the NES and SNES anymore, since most remaining huge titles would either be trapped in licensing hell or would just be held hostage by Capcom. Konami, etc. for their own retro collections.

I would still love to see Zoda's Revenge added for the NES, but Nintendo only seems to want to acknowledge the StarTropics series intermittently, so...

 

Give me Lufia 2 or Smash TV

 

Give me Mario RPG and SimCity already. Holy shit.

 

Neither are happening. Lufia is owned by Square and Square clearly shows no interest in putting their classic titles on the service since they can easily distribute and sell them individually on their own.

Smash TV was owned by Midway and since Midway's assets were sold to Warner Bros., I assume they must have the rights now. I guess if they do, it's possible they could put the games on the service? Probably more likely to capitalize on the arcade version though.

Could Nintendo do SimCity? I'm pretty sure they'd have to reach some arrangement with EA, wouldn't they? Same goes for Super Mario RPG and Square, I'm sure they'd have to reach some kind of an arrangement. The latter is probably way more likely than the former, IMO.

 

New Mario Strikers gameplay, it looks awesome.

 

I still regularly play the Gamecube Strikers, so stoked for the new one

 

why you gotta come in here and smash our dreams to pieces

 

I dunno. But it’s my favorite edition of Sim City ever. I remember renting this game like 10 times and I wonder to this day why my mom didn’t just buy this damn game for me.

Years later when I played the PC version, I realized it wasn’t nearly as cool without Bowser wrecking your city.

 

My switch refuses to connect to my internet now so that’s fun

 

Huge, with the restored content

 

Small

 

My 3DS and WiiU once did this for 24 hours or so and then worked again

 

Really excited to play this. Bug catching and fishing in Kyushu

 

Holy shit what is that? Can you share a video?

 

Yeah, I just have to get through the introduction and get the actual fishing, bug catching rolling.

The general atmosphere is great. You run around Kyushu and the summer vibes are there. Cicada noises in the background, breezes, slow clouds moving above, etc.

Apparently you are also hunting for dinosaurs that somehow manage to still live in Kyushi(?)

The game is called Crayon Shin and the Doctor’s Summer Vacation, or at least that’s the rough translation.

 

Remins me of Attack Of The Friday Monsters. Too bad it’s only in Japanese.

 

same thing happened here lol so bizarre

 

Finally picked up dragon quest XI for the switch I bought back when out for ps4 on Black Friday but never opened it so finally glad to play it cuz going on a trip next month

 

It’s a masterpiece
