Just remember that nintendo is literally retarded and there's a chance they've either forgot to add it or BLM has some secondary meaning only they know.

Because, fuck you, I'm bored and regret owning the Switch.

There's zero curation on the e-shop and there's apparently a few flat out broken games still being sold at full price.

All my switch collection is physical because you're still going to need umpteenth SD cards to store your games if you have a large collection.

Psikyo Shooting Collections and Panzer Dragoon 1 Remake are apparently coming to PS4/PS5 after lukewarm reception on the Switch. I'm hoping Shooting Stars Volume 3 happens because they stopped after volumes 1 and 2.
 
Does anyone else think the Mario part of Nintendo's fanbase is legitimately autistic? Not as a replacement for stupid, but just actually, legitimately; low functioning autistic? Seriously, the obsession with Miyamoto, and ESPECIALLY the Paper Mario side of the Mario fanbase is CWC tier OC sperging. Like, fucks sake.

Doesn't the Switch suck when it comes to digitally storing games, anyways?

Yeah you wind up with having as much SD cards as you would switch cards if you went all physical. The 2TB cards that are allowed are pricey as well.

It's fine if you don't go all-digital. 256gb cards are $35 now, and you can redownload games from your main menu. But, downloads aren't fast, and if your game is over 10gb, you're probably not playing it until tomorrow, no matter what your connection. Just get cartridges instead.

Oh? What are they?

Not to mention the visual novels that are on the international eShop and have English descriptions, but are only in Japanese. That shit ain't right, especially when there's no way to get a refund.

Paper Mario fanboys definitely have some mental dysfunction. The series started as babys first RPG, and was barely an RPG in the first place, got rid of the RPG elements and they've been bitching and moaning about it for damn near 20 years now.

The advertising for new games can feature them looking NOTHING like "classic" PM, yet they always still buy the games then act surprised and angry when it doesnt play like "classic" PM once again.

Imagine being in your late 20s minimum and still looking for your RPG fix in a series clearly meant for ages 6 to 9.

I fucking love the Mario & Luigi series, but I don't recall the fanbase for that series being nearly as autistic about the needless remakes as Paper Mario fans are about any of the new stuff. Nor did they buy them just to bitch about them. The Paper Mario fanbase is like an autistic anomaly.
 
I find the Nintendo fanbase is made up of the same kinds of people as the Sonic Fanbase. There's people like me on one end, I love the older 2d Sonic games, they're a big part of my childhood and I still play them quite a bit when I need a blast of nostalgia. I also had a lot of fun when I was a teenager with my N64 and Gamecube. I still enjoy Nintendo products and games and I still purchase them and I'm not beyond dropping a few quid here and there on a collectible or a special edition if it's for a game I know I'm going to enjoy. On the other end of the spectrum you have rabid autists who think that Sonic is the second coming of Jesus and Nintendo are somehow the last paragon of real 'Gaming' where Microsoft and Sony have fallen prey to the temptations of money. These perpetual children are easier to spot online simply because they wear that fandom like a shield against the darkness that is adulthood obscuring the existence of people like me who just want to play some oldschool vidya and not get into micropenis waving contests online. So no, I don't think the fanbase is bad, I think the public facing portion of the fanbase is bad, so, so bad.

Probably because the gameplay has more or less stayed the same as the years passed. Plus, the remakes actually expanded on the story.

But all things considered, I would've settled for an entry on the Switch than 2 cash grabs.
 
So someone redpill me on this Mario 3D Allstars thing. Is it selling like shit? There's a stack of about 40 copies in the electronic section of my local Wal-Mart.

I like Mario & Luigi too. I don't get the love for that Gamecube Paper Mario game. I played it when it came out, and it wasn't bad, but I think the first four Mario & Luigi games(Never played the fifth. Worth playing?) are much better as individual games, but then when I play something like that I'm looking for something goofy and weird that resembles a Mario Bros. game in RPG form, not anything deep or overly engaging. Something about that Paper Mario game for Gamecube draws as many autists as Sonic Adventure, and I never fully understood why.

Alpha Dream is done. There probably won't be any more. Just like there was never really any more Wario Land after R&D 1 folded. We got that one for the Wii because the developer specifically wanted to make it, but that's it.
 
Super Mario 3d Allstars has apparently outsold Xenoblade Chronicles HD release. Mario was just some minor cleanup on rom ports while Xenoblade had nearly the entire game remade.

So if people are wondering why Nintendo didn't go the full red carpet treatment for the games I think this is why.
