Where is my Metroid?
I am still waiting for at least one Zelda (that is not a shameless milking port).
Actually, ugh. It didn't get enough 1st party at all... and 3rd party was non existent.
Metroid would of been nice, but because you didn't get one franchise doesn't mean it didn't have 1st party support because it very clearly did. Zelda BOTW is the WiiU Zelda u've been waiting for, it's a Wii U game and a Switch port.

The only analog items on a controller have been the joy sticks. Why would you need analog buttons?
Variable control, 0-100% vs. 0 or 100%. When you get in a car do you just floor it? Not everything is Mario Kart. 40% pull back on a bow lots of things.

In games this is total BS. A button press is a button press. I own several racing games and no matter how light or hard you hit a button, the results are the same. Analog buttons do not make any difference. Buttons are buttons.

I bet when you turn your stereo on the volume goes right to 11.

I suppose you have never used a 360 controller or GameCube controller?

I don't care what's on the virtual Console because I personally haven't purchased from it since the Wii. It must be painful for people to only have 2 titles a week and go for months for something you want released when consumers could either get the original system and it's games or emulate. It makes sense to trickle the releases for games that have series like Pokémon or Fire Emblem but to do that with everything makes no business sense.

I have owned every console to date except for a ps4. Try trolling harder
Well then you have used analog triggers. You may not have chosen to play a game that utilizes them, but I can assure you they exist.

I certainly can understand you not liking them but I really don't understand why you are so antagonistic about the issue and refuse to acknowledge the fact that analog triggers are not just an on/off input and send a different signal to the console that is utilized in some games.

Triggers.
Ps4 and xbox has this. So did gamecube. You lightly press and it would show in game.

Mario Sunchine is very difficult without proper analog triggers. If you can hack in a 50% mode with the secon set then it may work, but then you no longer have the purpbutt

Analog triggers are a must if you want me to take you seriously.
Anyway, I can live without them all while I try to convince myself we are still in the 90s, it adds to the retro feeling I guess.

PS: Yeah, I would play without analog triggers, but I will feel like there is a missed opportunity in half the games I play.

If I can play Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine on an official Nintendo handheld (while also boasting Super Mario Odyssey), I'll consider it the consoleist of consoles.

All games on 3DS and Wii U being downloadable again, either for free or a 75% discount.
Not happening due to technical, legal, and logistical reasons.
  • Nintendo could port over their own library, but won't sell them for 75% off. What's probably going to happen is the popular Wii U titles (e.g. Smash Bros.) will be sold at full price (or maybe a slight discount), but with all the DLC included.
  • Nintendo can't do anything with third-party titles unless the original developers agree to port them over, and the original developers would have to do the porting.
I look forward to your insightful and respectful post debating this.

I doubt they can, not without dramatically changing the game - in which case anything except full price or near won't be worth it.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM

  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
