The best era for me. Some serious heavy hitters. Personally i have; Mario64, Both Banjos, DK64, Bad Fur Day and Rayman 2. Love them. I'll definitely get some more down the line when i see them for decent prices.
Looks pretty cool. But i'll pass. If i want to play Prime then i just bust out my GC and Prime. I'm a weirdo and prefer to play games in original form on original hardware.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing yes. Personally i don't collect games, but music. Music from my childhood and adolescence since i've always loved music. I don't overdo it though, i only get what i really like and it's a fun little thing or hobby.
Good for them! But personally i don't really enjoy the newer MK's, i don't really know what it is with them that doesn't "connect" with me. Last one i really enjoyed was MKDD.
I dunno, to me the whole thing looks like it's out of focus, just too blurry, sorry. If you only have a switch and have no experience with more powerful hardware then it's ok i guess.
I'm fine with the lower resolution, but the framerates are just disappointing. 30fps rock stable would be fine, but frequent performance drops like these is a pain for me personally, i'm quite sensitive to those, i notice them so clearly. Anyway i hope they can fix it up a little.
Well that's a bummer. 30fps rock stable is fine, but dips into low 20s really suck imo. Like Botw does in some places, significant drops in performance and for me it just doesn't feel good. Hope they can fix this.
I won't be buying a ps5, or xbox. But if i were, i would choose the xbox, i like the looks of it, it doesn't scream look at me like the ps5 does, which imo is overdesigned. The ps5 seems to be designed for youth, even kids. The xbox is, based on looks alone more for older more mature people. Just my thoughts.
A true masterpiece in every way possible! I have fond memories of summer 2000, we played ALOT, all the modes, singleplayer, co-op, challenges, against simulants, without simulants, this game had it all. 10/10
I played it again very recently, and really noticed the framerate being slow, but when i played it for a while i got used to it, then it felt like good old times again. I tried to beat some levels on perfect agent, failed on all of them lol, damn this game is brutal.
This game and Goldeneye are easily the best console shooters ever for me.
Personally i wouldn't buy a remake of Sunshine, since i already have the original, i can play it whenever i want on the original hardware which is the best way imo.
Started playing this game a couple days ago, what a classic! How can a game that's this simple compared to modern hyperadvanced(and hyper boring) shooters be so much more entertaining? Pure joy.
I haven't played this game for 2 months i think. I don't really like the building aspect, just annoys me. But the controls is what really kills it for me, it just sucks compared to Splatoons silky smooth and super precise motion controls.
I dunno. When we got gyros for Fortnite i was so excited and happy, i was thinking finally i can get some kills going. But it was very imprecise, felt very loose compared to the Splatoons, i just didn't enjoy it and haven't touched it in a long time.
But we'll see, i hope it turns out well for Paladins.
Kind of insulting that he laughs about the whole thing, yes. But at the same time, even if i personally don't care about CoD games anymore, it's bad if the Switch doesn't get a quality ported CoD game. It would sell quite well and move some systems too i would imagine.
Well the performance could be better, more stable, and yes it's slowly getting worse, it was definitely smoother before.
But the biggest problem for me isn't performance, it's the broken gyro controls, which also was working decently enough before season 5, now it's broken. The funny thing is that it's only broken with the Pro controller, NOT when using joycon grip. It's been well over a month(or is it 2?) and they STILL haven't figured out a fix for this, or even mentioned that they're aware of the issue.
It's a true masterpiece both as a game and from a technical perspective. It looked incredible at the time and never dropped one frame.
It's my all time favourite single player racing game. Getting to see all the characters short videos at the end was an obsession for me lol. Great times. And the story mode on very hard, it was brutal, just BRUTAL. But what a feeling when i beat it.
10/10
I didn't really like FN's gyro controls for two reasons.
1. Input delay is too much imo, because of this it feels so sluggish and imprecise.
2. There's an invisible low res grid that makes it impossible to aim at certain pixels at distance. Like if i'm trying to aim at an enemy and my crosshair is 3-4 pixels to the right, i then naturally try to make slight adjustments, it then jumps past the enemy and now it's 3-4 pixels to the left, like there's nothing in between.
Thank God for the gyro controls, i SUCK with stick aiming.
To someone above who said this will unbalance things in favour to the Switch; isn't a mouse and keyboard unbalanced in favour to the mighty PC? I think it is, i also think gyro controls should be standard in the future in shooter type games, it really is that much better.
Funny how many people are saying "well i don't care about cod or fps games" and so on, now that BO4 likely isn't coming to Switch. If it was the other way around and it was confirmed, i guarantee those same people would be saying; "wow, i'm so happy about this, i'm SO pumped and will get it DAY ONE, i LOVE fps games".. Peace
Not buying it. I hope some of the developers read these comments. Framerate this slow is just not acceptable in this day and age and then there's the price..

Easily the most defining game on the NES and one of the all time greatest games IMO.
Re: Switch Lite Added To Joy-Con Drift Class Action Lawsuit
It's really quite astonishing that they didn't change this poor design, i mean obviously they HAD to know about this.
Really really poor by Nintendo i must say, disrespecting loyal fans like this.
Re: Poll: Nintendo Switch Lite Is Out Today, Are You Getting One?
Nope. I'm perfectly fine with my original switch, besides i play almost exclusively docked.
Re: Switch's NES And SNES Games Will No Longer Be Added Monthly
For me personally this isn't a problem at all, there's plenty already, i don't have time to play all of them anyway.
Re: Video: Nintendo Welcomes Switch Lite To The Family With Flashy Console Trailer
Nope. I play docked at least 95% of my playtime.

Re: PEGI Rating Suggests DOOM 64 Is Making A Comeback
Really great if we get Doom64. Even better if we get Duke Nukem 64 and Turok 2 and 3. All great classics.
Re: Poll: Have Your Joy-Con Been Drifting?
Yes it happens with mine sometimes, the left one, but recalibrating the thing usually helps. Hasn't really been a problem yet. (fingers crossed)
I do hope Nintendo acknowledges these issues, and fixes them, seems very widespread. To me it looks like poor build quality.
