I remember the Mario typing game and Zelda was on the CD-i.
Nintendo made its mark in gaming as a 3rd party publisher, which was way before the typing game and atrocious Phillips CD-i curfuffle. So, we can't explain why Nintendo dabbled in third parties again in the 90s.
PlayStation also dabbled as a 3rd party publisher on PC and console in the 90s and they're doing it again again with PC and on console with Xbox instead of Nintendo this time but they haven...
Must be why I can watch the Mario movie on my PS5, right?
Not just PS2 explain PS4 and even PS1. There was no real challenge in the gaming market for PS since it's inaugural console released. PS3 still well outsold Xbox 360 despite how many of us know someone who owned many due to the RRoD. I know a person who's parents bought three because the first two failed, back in the day.
Nintendo isn't doing as hot as they wanted too either, but they're in way better shape than Xbox and are already lower the absurd prices on the console, which should've never been $450 to start with. $399 was the max. I really think it should be $349 that sounds far for what Switch 2 is. Unless Nvidia is gouging Nintendo, but if that's the case, Nintendo should've known better when everyone shifted away from licensing Nvidia's HW decades ago. Either way, I'm not w...

Thankfully, every other publisher sees how stupid the moves MS is making are. The only way Xbox and MS can continue to be that cancer on this industry is if MS makes good on that "speculation" (which came up during the ABK acquisition) and does a hostile takeover of PS and Nintendo by buying controlling stock shares in the other publishers. Nintendo's stupid moves may be putting them in a position to be purchased by MS in the next decade.
@Wilgizad
Played this on Xbox 360 as the anniversary edition during the PSN oytage. Wasn't awed by it then, why would I buy it again, now?
Xbox putting it's games on PS and everywhere else was a mistake and before they managed that many of my old Xbox die-hard friends made the leap to PS with the launch of Xbox One. The last hangers on needed to jump ship this generation and Xbox is pushing you to, but you'd rather sink with Xbox.
Wel...
Hard disagree on "almost." This is clearly deliberate.
I also disagree strongly with the reasoning as there is no way that the suits are so stupid that they can't see how increasing prices on HW and services that already so few want that it's not going to continue to sell.
I imagine after all this autumn's fumbles from MS that Xbox's userbase has dwindled to as small as one-fifth of its size globally. There's no way the suits...
It's just one of nature's many great mysteries.
Because porting a game and making a new game, totally requires the same amount of time budget and expertise... right?
PS4 also had no competition for the first 3 years. Of course Switch was only competitive sales wise not power wise so PS4 wound up getting games that Switch simply couldn't handle adequately (given the sales numbers of 3rd party games that did make the jump).
You forgot when the Democrats blamed videogames in 2012.
@derek
Oh you poor sweet summer child, you.
The ultimate goal is to ban all guns for all purposes. Why? You know that South Korea has some of the most restrictive gun laws on Earth (next to North Korea) and they still have gun homicides. One kf their presidents was shot inside a hotel by a gun within my lifetime. The former Prime Minister of Japan was also assassinated by a homemade firearm in a massive crowd. Japan is famous for weak gun laws... oh wait! No, that's wron...
If it happens to you.
The irony will be that you don't own a gun, right?
@Krablante
The hypocrisy of the people downvoting you is incredible. Here it is you are calling out the hysterical vitriol from the left which is likely triggering those with severe mental illnesses to go on the offensive against what has been called, 'threats to America, democracy, and common decency.' And instead of just agreeing with you, they're sh!tt!ng all over your reply as if telling moronic politicians vilifing 150+ million people isn't just easing some menta...
@franwex
🤣 Do you really believe that the political left wants to ban all guns for safety?
So, we run around stabbing people, with sides, of moltov cocktails, acid and blowing each other up with car bombs and vests for good measure like in Ireland 40 years ago or anywhere in the Middle East today. Pandora's box was opened when we invented the semi-automatic firearm. The 2nd amendment predates that, but exists so that when someone uses it against you, you have the full capacity to fight back.
Often, people with any sense just don't just go around blastin&#...
South Korea too, but people are at least able to peacefully depose their president still. Not sure about Japan and clearly the corruption in Western nations revolves around slightly different issues and those governments also appear more likely to arrest their citizens for non-confrontational behaviors. I mean, not that there are no Eastern nations that aren't in turmoil and do this even when they aren't, but in the more developed Eastern nations it seems less common than in similarly...
But not old enough to remember when they blamed following Satan on rock and roll? Most of us have read about that.
It really would. What a lot of people forget is that quite a number of these shootings are not committed by those already intending to kill themselves. Take yesterday's assassination of Charlie Kirk. If the shooter killed himself we'd have found him on the roof, but I suppose that's not a mass shooting incident so some will argue it doesn't matter. Likewise for Luigi. The reality is about half of the school shooters didn't kill themselves. So, the death penalty could likel...
A real paradox of diversity.
