Hey there forum denizens! It's April and you know what that means...time to reel in those Playdates,...
I'm obviously already chronicling my backlog odyssey in another thread, but my Four on Four for this April is as follows:
Oom on Playdate....
I never ended up buying a Switch because I was waiting for whatever upgrade was going to come out. It would have been the OLED Switch, but that came out so late I thought "what was the point?" So, I never bought that either. I pretty much skipped this generation. I got gifted a ps4 in 2017 and just bought up some of the main games there.
At the same time. I have a Wii U. So, it isn't like I missed out on 1/4 of the games that came out for Switch.
It was a weird generation because I turned my room into a Mario room with blue turquoise sky walls and all and played ps4 the whole time. My office room I turned into horror themed.
Nintendo definitely got deservedly punished with the mini discs and cartridges, fucking over developers in an evil attempt to stop piracy (which is morally correct). But the games themselves were amazing.
I think that extra power for the GameCube might be another reason why it gets more fondly remembered for that era.
It's the entire reason. Most people get hung up on the fact that the Gamecube was comparable to the competitors while Nintendo has been a generation behind since.
The Switch on the other hand despite being a generation behind, was designed to handle the various game engines that most developers were using, so they could scale their games to run on the Switch much easier. So even before the Switch gained the massive sales it did, many third parties where able to have games ready for the system even if they didn't have much faith in it because it was easier to port games for it then they could back in the Gamecube era. And then when the Switch gained the massive sales it did, we started seeing ports of some of the more popular titles from the PS4 era because the hardware once again allowed for such a thing.
This is why when I've seen comments from some Gamecube fans saying the Gamecube was the last Nintendo system to have good third party support I have to roll my eyes so hard they literally fall out of my head. The Gamecube was still Nintendo designing hardware for their own developers without a thought to third parties. The Switch on the other hand was the first Nintendo system actually designed with third party support in mind and as a result, has by far the best third party support in Nintendo history.
Oh and Gamecube fans are complete fucking hypocrite when you praise games like Luigi's Mansion 1, Wind Waker, Paper Mario TTYD, but then turn your nose at the recently released Princess Peach Showtime. Quite a few of these highly praised Gamecube titles were incredible easy game, and yet the same people we now praise these games, say they have no interest in the recent Princess Peach Showtime because it looks too easy. Give me a fucking break.
Seriously, this is why I have no respect for opinions like this. This are the very definition of peak nostalgia blinding people. Seriously, if Princess Peach Showtime was released on the Gamecube 20 years ago, the same people who refuse to play it now because it's an easy looking game, would be praising it as a masterpiece like they do to many of these extremely easy Gamecube era games.
When you have the opportunity to end a monster heel's title run at 666 days, you effing DO it.
