@The_Nintendo_Pedant I dunno, I kinda like the style, it's refreshing to see a solid variety of colors on a console that aren't black, white and a miniscule amount of a primary color.
@sbeng135 they updated the FAQ to clarify that they only changed 10 small lines in the FIRST SEASON. Even linking to a more detailed Steam page that highlights the specific line changes. The second and third season remasters don't change any lines at all. But I get the impression that you didn't actually play the remasters, so you probably didn't know that.
@jmbenetti I know some people don't care for 'em(heck, I'm still a little mixed on Thimbleweed's ending), but I like them a lot. Especially Return's ending. I think Ron and Dave handled that perfectly.
@sbeng135 oh brother. Not this nonsense again. Find something new to complain about instead of dredging up the same tired(and inaccurately presented) argument.
@axelhander "Blah blah blah, the screen's not lit, QED it's terrible for that alone" and yet it's done a better job justifying its existence better than say, the flipping Evercade.
I don't care for the remake in the slightest but it is pretty neat that they went out of their way to get Sherman back for Pac-Man years after 3. He was to Pac-Man what Charles Martinet was to Mario, and it's nice that Namco recognized that enough to have Sherman reprise the role for this.
@MARl0 I have yet to play it but I was spoiled by THAT part, and lemme tell you, after THAT part, I never wanna see anyone say "Nintendo doesn't care" ever again.
@bring_on_branstons I just want them to announce anything game related at this point - info on the the new one, an enhanced port of the OG, maybe they'll finally announce a port of Future - I'm just desperate, man.
At this point it feels like people are looking for any opportunity to dog on the stupid thing regardless of whether or not it's a truly significant issue.
A garish CRT filter is not worth getting worked up over.
Not their first slam into the mouse business - they did something similar with the N30 Mouse a few years back. This one however seems a lot more practical.
@-wc- Eh, I think Alucard should be allowed a few more centuries of beauty rest. Besides, I think Soma filled his shoes pretty well in the Sorrow duology.

Re: Turns Out Monkey Island Creator Ron Gilbert's Zelda-Style RPG Is The Rogue-Like 'Death By Scrolling'
@jmbenetti it's a good thing his games don't have those endings then!

Re: This Sam & Max Playdate Game "Probably Won't Happen", But We Can Dream, Right?
Playdate, PC, Game.Com, doesn't matter as long as I get to solve puzzles and administer violently ironic justice with a sociopathic lagomorph.
Re: "When I Was A Kid There Was Nothing Bigger Than Pac-Man" - Pac-Man Voice Actor Confirms Return To Role After Almost 20 Years Away
@slider1983 Seconded. I think that would the most interesting one to remake given its status as the sorta "black sheep" of the trilogy.

I'm amazed that the stupid thing even has a stable present. Still don't see the point of it tbh.

@bring_on_branstons I just want them to announce anything game related at this point - info on the the new one, an enhanced port of the OG, maybe they'll finally announce a port of Future - I'm just desperate, man.

Re: Nintendo Locking A Screen Filter Behind A Console Upgrade Hasn't Gone Down Well With Everyone
At this point it feels like people are looking for any opportunity to dog on the stupid thing regardless of whether or not it's a truly significant issue.
A garish CRT filter is not worth getting worked up over.
Re: Have You Checked On Your Wii U GamePad Battery Recently?
I changed mine at the beginning of the year, so I'm not too worried.
Though I do need to get a new adapter for the thing...
Re: Rare's Cancelled N64 Title Dinosaur Planet Is Getting The Recompilation Treatment
@shiromar Yeah, but is there even a build of that version available, though?

Re: 8BitDo's Latest Spin On Its Retro R8 Mouse Takes Inspiration From A Classic Nintendo Console
Not their first slam into the mouse business - they did something similar with the N30 Mouse a few years back. This one however seems a lot more practical.

Re: Nintendo Just Broke The Hearts Of GameCube Scalpers Everywhere With Switch 2
@-wc- I think it's less about morality and more about not wanting to rob a bank in order to play it.
