    There is no reason to play anything on Nintendo systems other than Bassin’s Black Bass with Hank Parker for SNES. This is the single greatest fishing game ever created, and still holds the #1 spot even today. Not to be confused with Super Black Bass, which is the inferior earlier version of this game. Super Black Bass is for Mormons.

    I will take this opportunity to shill the Steam Deck. It’s awesome and Valve doesn’t shaft you whenever they can. Also cough WiiU and Switch 1 emulation cough.

      I love the fact you can just switch to desktop mode and have a (mostly) fully functional Linux install.

      It’s not just they let you do it, they set it all up for you!

      Recently started playing Pkmn Platinum on my SteamDeck.
      Also set up automatic sync of game saves and save states (native saves and snapshots of current state).
      Same for Yuzu :)

      So beautiful.
      And the sync is so well done it’s glorious!

      The fact that they just dropped family sharing on us and there’s hardly any game excluded is insane. Games I never would have picked up otherwise, I get to try now because one of my brother’s bought it. We don’t even get the bullshit video streaming sites do “this content is disappearing from family sharing soon…”.

        And the ones without family sharing are usually excluded because of their publishers.

            Never buy The Longest Dark. The Devs for that game helped spearhead that block solely because they wanted people to pay twice.

            Let’s also not forget how they started selling DLC before the game was out of early access

    Nintendo when they catch me playing Mario 64 at 120fps and a working camera instead of their intended cinematic 30fps. Also they delisted the 3D mario collection on Switch and killed mario just to fuck with you.

      Super Mario 3D All-Stars? Don’t believe it was ever available digitally. They did like two limited edition physical runs, and that’s it. Much like how they released Mario DDR back in the day.

      Edit: And yes, fuck Nintendo. Just clarifying it was never really listed on their digital store, anyway…

        The compilation was released on September 18, 2020, and was available until March 31, 2021, when it was discontinued and removed from the Nintendo eShop.

        Looks like it was on the eshop for a whopping six months. I think that makes it worse to be honest.

          They didn’t just “upscale” the sprites, they completely remade the games in the Super Mario World engine.

          3D All Stars was the laziest compilation ever. All they did was toss the ROMs and half-developed emulators onto the cartridge and called it a day. The games run worse and have more input lag than they did on their original consoles.

            in terms of laziness you can’t beat mario all stars on the Wii tho. literally an SNES ROM on a Wii disc. that’s it.

            they didn’t even bother to change the controller glyphs

              Never owned a Wii but I’m not surprised. As a GameCube owner at the time, I refused to buy one on principle alone. I was beyond pissed that all Nintendo did was overclock a GameCube, throw it in a smaller form factor case, slap a new controller on it, and proceed to break sales records.

              /begin ADHD-fueled rant

              I wish they would have instead released motion controls for the GameCube if they didn’t feel like designing new hardware, but somehow it worked out for them, despite being the laziest console design ever with the second worst name ever (behind “Wii U”). The motion controls were the only thing it had going for it. (I’ll at least give Nintendo credit for inspiring the concept of motion controls in the living room that eventually lead to affordable VR, if nothing else.)

              Lost trust in Nintendo for many years after that. Switched to XBOX 360 and got almost a decade of enjoyment out of that console. But then Microsoft went and ruined a good thing too, somehow managing to fuck everything up, despite buying some big names and now owning some of the most legendary brands in gaming history. They went from making my favorite console of all time, to releasing generic black rectangles with names like XBOX Series One SXT 4x4 3.8L Turbo. It’s like they are intentionally sabotaging their brand so they can go back to focusing on software.

              Anyway shit like this is why I exclusively play PC games now. I mean the Switch was cool for the first few years but then they got all butthurt and can’t handle the fact that other people can make a Pokémon game better than them and make their games run better on PC than on their own hardware… So much for second chances—fool me twice.

            tbh I don’t remember the games in the collection running badly…

            if you were to compare them to the originals frame-by-frame, maybe, but it’s not bad enough for an average player to notice

            are you mixing it with the NSO N64 emulation? cause that one had baaaad input lag at launch (idk if they fixed it then)

              I’m talking about Super Mario 3D All Stars. There is a very noticeable input lag in Super Mario 64. You can see it yourself by quickly tapping the jump button and seeing how long it takes Mario to actually jump. Sunshine targets 30 FPS and often dips into the 20s, despite running at a locked 30 on the GameCube and even being capable of 60 FPS with a mod.

              Combine that with the lack of any sort of enhancements or modernizations to the original games and it’s clear that it’s just a really bad collection of ports, plain and simple.

    Is this a LoL meme?

    Explanation

    Riot, the developer of League of Legends, routinely modifies the game to nerf heroes (make unplayable) that break out of their roles. For example if a hero is designed to be a healer, but finds a way to become a damage dealer, that is immediately patched out.

      This is most likely about Mario Kart World. The newest feature in the series is the open world with many challenges outside of races and more possibilities to learn the mechanics. Additionally, after you finish a race while playing online, the game gives you 3 options to chose the next track from, which are neighbouring the last track. If you pick them, you drive to this track and only then get to play the race you wanted. This sounds awesome, but only until you realise that this intermission is almost always just a straight line and really, really boring. After release it became the norm to always pick a random track because those don’t have intermissions. Nintendo noticed and patched random to only give you one of the 3 tracks previously suggested, something no other Mario Kart ever did. Now, most players organize their races on Discord. I love Mario Kart, but fuck Nintendo sideways.

      Here’s a Video explaining it

        Mostly assumption. Granted it’s a pretty good example, but I can’t imagine where this image would have otherwise come from, which means that it’s either generated, or someone spent a reasonable amount of time doing an expert level photo edit from a movie still frame just to make this meme.

              From world war II (photoshopped).

              I can’t find the exact original image, but this appears to be an image of actor Christoph Waltz portraying Standartenführer Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino’s film Inglourious Basterds, photoshopped to make fun of Nintendo’s notorious asshattery.

            So I asked OP instead of flinging vaguely articulated insults based on assumptions. He (they?) said he’s not 100% sure based on the source, but “possibly AI edits” based on “the too perfect uniform texture I usually associate with AI”. So…

              Is this your first week on the internet?

              Do you not realize that memes of movies/TV shows have been made since hobby photo editing has been a thing? Do you not remember all the ridiculous bullshit memes from the mid 2000s-early 2010s where like half of them were just stills from some show or movie with a different caption to try to make it funny?

            It’s been shown in controlled studies that AI ‘identification skills’ are as effective as flipping a coin. People just don’t realise when they see the good images, and pride themselves on noticing the crappy ones.

            Edit: Ah, you’re one of those people who downvote anything they dislike hearing without bothering to say a word. Here’s the one of the studies I mentioned: https://www.nexcess.net/blog/humans-struggle-to-spot-ai-generated-content/
