Podcast Discussion / Re: Episode 974: When I Was Getting Scraped for Horace Showpony, I Wasn't Getting Paid

You guys seem down on recent Nintendo moves like the Mario movies and remaking Zelda OoT, but you have to remember that the share of people who got into gaming with the NES/SNES who give Nintendo money for themselves is a small fraction of their sales. 

With those examples in particular, to paraphrase what Syrenne was saying recently, the Venn diagram of people who have a Switch/2 and have played Zelda OoT to death slightly overlaps and the one for people who are over 35 and would join the Nintendo ecosystem due to a movie barely does.  Their focus is moving elsewhere.  At least this time it is for natural changes so it doesn’t sting as much personally as it did during the Wii era.

It saves to the Wii Mode memory, which you can access through the Wii mode memory management. Transfer it to an SD card and I think it should be accessible on another Wii?

Why am I replying to this? It seems like a legitimate enough inquiry.

Does it save to the Wii Mode memory, like a disc-based Wii game would, or does it also save there?

Well you have to download Pokopia either way so that would be the one I would pick.

If hardware prices are going to increase because of "market conditions" then software bundles that don't require any increase in manufacturing cost just seem like the logical way for Nintendo to try to balance it out.

I think the point stands. Min-maxing Pokemon requires hurdles that most games pre-Gen 9 make difficult to achieve until late-to-post-game, so I don’t know why you’d attempt it. I also don’t know what sort of comprehensive strategy an LLM would give for any game in particular and I don’t care to give any of them the time of day to find out.

Then again, I’m posting on a dead forum in order to magnify my voice and sense of self-importance via the relative emptiness of the echo chamber, so maybe I don’t have any right to talk about the poisons of the internet.

I agree with you.

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Announces Switch 2 Star Fox Reboot In Emergency Star Fox Direct

it sucks to be so down about this, because as Adrock put it, really, everything sucks now. I’m also not really invested enough into Starfox to really have skin in this game. But I really have no interest in playing a game that I already bounced off previously on a few different systems, which I guess just means this wasn’t the announcement for me. It just stands as a harbinger of the times, which is a bit sad.

@Adrock

Editing long posts on a phone is annoying, so I just wanted to address one thing you said, which was about the game being $50 digital.

It's also $50 physical right now from Walmart or Amazon, if you didn't already know. For now, Walmart is matching the eShop and Amazon is matching them. And not only on this game, but Splatoon Raiders and Yoshi as well.

And yes, the industry needs more AA games, and I'm not sure people would be disappointed if this was a *new* Star Fox game at a lower budget and price point. The issue is that this is the 3rd remake for SF 64 and 4 overall when you include the original SNES game.

I'm sure the game will be fun as ever, but...really? We can't even get new levels like remakes of SNES SF stages that didn't make the jump to N64 like the Armada Stage?

Seriously, how are we this many Star Fox games in and the SNES of all things still has one of the wildest SF stages?
