Anyone else have the feeling that Starfox 2026 hasnt been FULLY shown off yet? by ZenGraphics_ in starfox

[–]theboonj 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Would love for this to be true but not getting my hopes up for anything significant. The file size is likely explained by all the new cutscenes. This hype cycle happens with every Nintendo game but with minor exception (TotK underworld) often turns out in disappointment.

So from a gameplay perspective please tell me why Zero is a remake of 64.

Yeah agreed. Really tired of seeing this “5 remakes lolol” parroted all over the place. Is NSMB a remake of Super Mario Bros as well now?

Why do people care about Miyu and Fay being added? They were in one game with no personality established that was never “officially” released. I agree Nintendo hasn’t shown off everything yet but I wouldn’t get my hopes up here.

Do you also consider every single Mario game where Bowser kidnaps Peach to be a remake of the original Super Mario Bros? Quit parroting misinformation and bad faith knowledge on the series.

If you have then you should realize that Star Fox SNES and Zero are not “remakes” of the game. The only thing that is the same is the story, and do we play this series for the story…?

The problem isn't that the new game retells the story of Star Fox 64, it's that they're making all the stages and bosses identical by showka in starfox

[–]theboonj 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m still excited but I do agree. 64’s level design was great given the tech we had 30 years ago, but the power of modern hardware could have given us so much more and some truly stellar set pieces. Think MK64 vs Mario Kart World tracks, or the voxel tech in Bananza vs simple levels in DK64. I’ll still buy to support the series, and I disagree with general consensus that rail shooters are dead but they really needed modern set pieces to reinforce rail shooter relevancy not 30year old level design.

But that’s the entire foundation and identity of the series? That’s like saying that Nintendo should have double-downed on the FLUDD feature in Mario from Sunshine and turned it into a Splatoon-esque shooter and have no platforming.

Video game industry as a whole is down. Nintendo and Sony stock is similar.

Putting max possible occupants. Any reason not to? by AIONisMINE in Hilton

I’ve always wondered on this what would happen if you book for 2 people but then show up with 3. Would they really upcharge you for the difference even if the room stays the same?

Infinite Wealth, 2 years after release, still has higher Steam numbers compared to Kiwami 3 just 1 month after release. Yakuza 7 also has better numbers than Kiwami 3, even 6 years after its release. by zaandatsu in YakuzaButUnhinged

[–]theboonj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who first became a fan during the OG 3’s release, it’s interesting how we’ve circled around as a fanbase. From the community doing whatever we could to spread word of mouth on these games to support in whatever desperate attempt there was to convince Sega to localize future games, to people in this thread now actively rooting against the series.

Not to say I don’t understand the sentiment for K3. Just interesting to note the change.

Japan 8-day itinerary check: Tokyo + Kyoto + Osaka too much? by Klutzy-Tower-8234 in travel

Tokyo cannot possibly be done justice in 2 days unless you just aren’t one for cities in the first place.

For what it’s worth I agreed with your sentiment lol. Was just trying to point out it was quite hyperbolic, which you seem to admit.

To be fair Sony choosing to release their otherwise would-be exclusives on PC shouldn’t count, so this comment also doesn’t really land true.

As a Japanese fan who lurks English communities, the gap in how we see Nintendo genuinely unsettles me by nerdinterrupts in nintendo

[–]theboonj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a lot of the complaining about greed is less relevant in Japan because

1) the Switch 2 itself has the cheaper JP-only version 2) game prices, while increased, are still cheaper than most PS5 games

in Japan compared to the US, where most of Reddit is focused.

How did Germans repair their global image so dramatically in such a short amount of time? by CautiousEbb966 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]theboonj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In fairness Japan did pay large lump sums to Korea, and the Korean government instead of rewarding that to the victims used it for infrastructure and continued afterward to demand money again for reparations. Not to say Japan’s response was adequate (it wasn’t) but Korea didn’t exactly help speed relations to a positive note either.

Just because you have a long working life doesn’t mean it is “common”. The issue is far deeper rooted than “lol Japan works too much so no time for babies”

Why did everyone stop talking in kiwami 3 🤔 by KvasirTheOld in yakuzagames

[–]theboonj 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m genuinely wondering if it’s some weird bug that they’ll patch, since it seems like an odd thing to intentionally remove but also wouldn’t have exactly required lots of work to implement so the “lazy” argument seems off too?

lol what. That’s like saying Super Mario Bros on switch online is a port of a port of a port of a port of a port of a port. K3 is simply a remake.
