stepee Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 In case anyone has the Genesis collection already and was wondering, right now you gain: Ecco (I don’t want to bother booting it up, but that’s weird, it wasn’t included?) Castlevania Bloodlibes Contra Hard Corps Strider Musha Which to be fair are four classics and Musha isnt bad. I love me some Genesis Strider. They should have had more out of collection or at least put on 3&Knuckles. This whole thing feels so weird. It such a random collection of shit for $30.

I played Zelda last night and some button choices are questionable. Why not make the yellow buttons the d pad??? The game tells you to press a button that doesn’t exists so it can be confusing but whateves. Maybe I’ll get the controller down the line. I also realized that Mario kart will absolutely destroy my cheap joycons when going for those eeee turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xbob42 Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 I'd rather just emulate the 3DS on my PC so I don't have to hold a piece of flat cardboard as a controller. So sick of handheld makers and their flat BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I have the buyer's remorse. Despite barely touching the original online features/games, I purchased this. Scrolled through the N64 titles and quickly remembered that Nintendo 64 didn't have a ton of must-play games that held up very well. (Or that couldn't be played elsewhere). I tried Sin and Punishment for like 45 seconds. I didn't even check out the Sega Genesis. I thought I did, but accidentally clicked on the 'Sega Genesis Collection' instead. It's disappointing. I wish they would've just opened up the libraries of both systems, instead of the 2 or 3 games a month, like they'll probably do. It's only 50, already paid, so I'll just see what happens this year and then may cancel the entire thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwinIon Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Nintendo re-releases their stuff so often it's almost bizarre to me that this isn't a core competency of the company at this point. They should have the best emulators on the planet, with a significant team dedicated to keeping their catalog in the best possible condition on every console they release. It should just be a given that if you are willing to pay for it, that Nintendo will happily provide you with the best possible experience on all their most popular legacy titles. Then have another team who does more significant remasters periodically to modernize select titles for a premium, and they'd make an (even greater) killing from all those nostalgia purchases. Of course, there's nothing pushing them to do any of that. They can put out half-hearted ports year after year, charge far too much for them, and people (including myself on more than one occasion) will continue to pay them.

This weeks bombcast out a good argument forward for this. Nintendo, being a very particular company, with a focus on creating interesting/progressive games in their various series, literally don’t give a shit about their back catalogue as it’s retreading old ground and doesn’t buy into the company ethos.

Eh, I dunno about that. If they really didn't care about their back catalogue, they wouldn't keep re-releasing their old games over and over. Selling their old games makes them easy money. Keep in mind they keep game code for games even from third-parties. For example, the Mana Collection is exclusive to Switch since Nintendo was the only ones that still had the original code for Final Fantasy Adventure. Square didn't even have it.

The way that Nintendo treats their back catalogue, I get the impression they think of it almost like royalties on a hit song: an ongoing revenue source they're due because they made something great a long time ago. I agree that there must be some part of the company culture that prevents them from spending too much effort on their old games, despite how much they make from them. They clearly care about their old games, at least to the extent that they're willing to re-release things with such frequency. I couldn't quickly pull up a list, but for a long time Super Mario Bros had been re-released/ported/etc an average of almost once a year since its release in 1985. That doesn't happen on accident. Still, it's clear that they never seem to put much effort into those releases and it's always seemed odd to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that Nintendo doesn't give a shit about their old games. It's the opposite. It's that the people that made those old games still work at Nintendo and they're happy with those old games and see no need to make any changes to them, aside from maybe some bug fixes. The average Nintendo employee has been with the company for some fourteen years. Mario 64 is as nearly as valuable to them today as it was in 1996 because all the people in charge of that game still work for Nintendo. Miyamoto is still there. Kondo is still writing music there. Koizumi is still there and still working on Mario. The same goes for Tezuka. That still applies to even the first Mario Bros. That game was made by Miyamoto and Tezuka with Kondo handling the music. It doesn't really get any different with later games either and the next generation of Nintendo staff. Bowser's Fury was produced by Koizumi with everything else handled by the guys that did Mario Sunshine, two decades earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emblazon Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 What’s even worse with the AC DLC in the subscription is once you stop your subscription, you lose access to all content from the DLC. That’s crazy shady. We’re just going to buy the DLC outright. And the reason for buying the N64 controller? Not included in the library. The SEGA lineup seems gimped, too—it doesn’t include all the games from the separate SEGA classics being released as a stand alone purchase.

crispy4000 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 I’ll be buying it outright too. Wife loves the game. I actually do like the idea of the expansion pack giving you limited DLC access to season passes. But for a game like this, I’d definitely want to hold onto it long term.
