What does it take to become a game reviewer?
It sounds like you're overthinking, which is very "me." @Scarlet has great advice. Be authentic. If you're honest with your viewers, they'll appreciate it and understand if you don't know every small detail ever. Don't be afraid to be wrong, but be aware of any sweeping statements you're making...- Robert Newbie

Did the GBA have better games than the DS?
Wow, I didn't realize how many NDS fans were out there! I'm hardheaded, so I'm going to try and make the case for the GBA. These are some of the original games (no ports) that I could find: Mother 3 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga Fire Emblem Golden Sun Sonic Advance 1, 2, and 3 Sword of Mana...- Robert Newbie

Did the GBA have better games than the DS?
I fall into Team GBA. It only had a few years before the NDS was released, but it amassed a healthy library of iconic games. Minish Cap, Sonic Advance series, Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission, the Final Fantasy Advance ports, Fire Emblem, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, you can name tons...- Robert Newbie

What's up with Sega's sudden come back?
Sega's thinking after the Genesis was so "cart-before-the-horse." Without getting into the Sega CD, 32X, or Saturn, the Dreamcast seemed like a return to form. A fully-3D Sonic game, state of the art graphics, good word of mouth, the Dreamcast was on decent footing. Was it the PS2 sporting DVD...- Robert Newbie

Paper Mario has been de-compiled
I haven't heard of any developers attempting it, but it's been a dicey time for Nintendo-related fan projects. (Link's Awakening DX HD, Garry's Mod, and that emulator I've conveniently forgotten the name of) It'd be best for any developers to follow the Ship of Harkinian formula: No game...- Robert Newbie

Which ideas do you have, which makes too much sense?
Go back in time and pause hardware development at the Super Nintendo era. That way, we can get sequels to the following games with the original development staff: Chrono Trigger, Super Mario RPG, and Mother 2/Earthbound. This isn't the most absurd idea in this thread.- Robert Newbie

Holy Grail Prototype/Beta.
Ok, here's one: What prototypes/betas would you love to play/dissect? Mine would be Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Unlike many other Nintendo games, a lot of pre-release screens were shown in magazines. So, we got to see a lot of what was eventually cut. Nimbus Land in particular...- Robert Newbie

Sony makes 26 billion dollar offer to buy Paramount
How is Sony doing financially? I know cutting edge game consoles always sell at a loss, but Sony has the movies and media (TV's, Blu-Ray, etc) industries to fall back on. The PS5 has sold commendably compared to the XBX. I remember back at the end of the PS2 era, an article claimed that Sony's...- Robert Newbie

Rumor Earthbound anniversary coming up.
I looked it up, but the details are vague, to say the least. Based on the Wikipedia, TCRF, and this Reddit thread, development started on the Super Famicom CD, much like Secret of Mana. Wikipedia says that, "About halfway through development, the team attempted to scale back its large scope and...- Robert Newbie

TV adaptations of video games
Nah, I agree. There were/are plenty of safe-but-inspiring character journeys that they could have been chosen, but the writers decided to prioritize style over substance. Separating Mario and Luigi was an absolutely lazy choice, in my opinion. I think it was good considering what it could have...- Robert Newbie

TV adaptations of video games
Go get Nurse Joy, STAT! I have a soft spot for Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I'd be interested to see a Square-Enix movie in theaters again. I know we had Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, but that was direct-to-DVD, if I remember correctly. Plus, after Birth by Sleep, I moved on from...- Robert Newbie

TV adaptations of video games
To be honest, there were only about a dozen of them made (plus a Captain N episode). It was intriguing to see the Zelda universe more realized, but I'm not sure there's much to be amazed by so many games later. (I had to look it up, DiC would have had only Zelda I and II to go off of.) Now, the...- Robert Newbie

TV adaptations of video games
I have to re-watch the Illumination Mario Movie, but I remember Peach's characterization being something like "Lisa Simpson in a bad mood." I always thought Peach was mellow to a fault, but that doesn't explain why she's so focused and violent in Smash Bros. Either way, it was mostly a safe...- Robert Newbie

What is something that You regret buying and it haunts you to this day?
As luck would have it, I was lamenting about my PlayStation Move + Light Gun combo earlier in another thread. I think I only played Time Crisis 4 for one evening.- Robert Newbie
