Then they were able to take that game away from me and replace it with something I liked far less. This is inevitable for any live service game; if not replacing the game you liked with something else, then its removal altogether so that no one can play it anymore in any form. It sucks.
This is a good, concise way to describe one of the subtler problems with these types of game. At least with some of them, if they’re sold without DRM, you can keep the version you like, but more often than not, those are few and far between.
Man. When I was younger I couldn’t get into Star Fox 64 on my 3DS. Maybe I should give it a try again. Is it the kind of thing where the PC Port is the better way to play it or should I play it on original hardware?
I mean, I like a number of old Nintendo games too. But I just cannot imagine putting this kind of work into something like this, where it’s almost certainly going to get taken down.
The worst is when people do things like create unauthorized sequels to games and that gets taken down. Like, you could have gone and created your own game with your own setting.
Like, I like the Metroid series too. But if all the people who like the series enough to have created unauthorized sequels in the series had just used a different setting and characters to make their Metroidvania, we could have had a fantastic unencumbered series.
Sometimes you’re just passionate about something and want to share it. Maybe they were passionate about that specific setting. Ever hear of fan fiction? Luckily, you can’t really take things down once they’re online. They can always be found, the more popular the easier it is to find.
Just cuz Nintendo is a company run by bitch-made cum guzzlers doesn’t mean its fans should bend over like that. It used to be that kids loved Mario and sonic, so they made a shit ton of Mario and sonic flash games. That’s good, creative, harmless, and gets attention because of the brand fandom.
Ship of Harkinian, OoT port, has been up for a long while already. and the Mario and OoT decomp have been up on GitHub for years. Because non of them are distributing Nintendo’s copyrighted or trademarked work. The user has to provide the rom themselves. Nintendo has no legal ground to sue this project since they aren’t breaking any law, unlike many of the fan projects who are using Nintendo’s IP unauthorized.
That smoke you see in the distance is actually steam rising from Japan’s numerous nuclear plants as they prepare for the incoming demand from the armada of fax machines about to be turned on at Nintendo’s lawyer’s offices.
Offtopic story: Sometime ago I needed 2 gamepads. So I went to the mall and bought 2 Acer gamepads for 35€ each. I unboxed them right after I left the shop. They were wired and looked and felt exactly like 5€ chinese gamepads. So I immediately returned them and went to another shop in the same mall where I got a pair of Speedlink Rait controllers for 22€ each. They feel very well-built, just like an xbox controller and are supported by all OS and console emulators out of the box. It basically shows up as a Switch Pro controller, so it’s perfectly supported by Yuzu.
It looks like the inbred cousin of the Xbox “Duke” that ended up being surprisingly ergonomical. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I genuinely hope it’s something close to that. Most controllers are too small for me.
It’d be cool if controllers could just be adjustable size. Hand sizes are wild. My fingers are pretty short; my best friend has E.T. length fingers. We are otherwise about the same height and build.

True, especially in width. I remember being extremely disappointed when I bought a PS3 and could barely play it because the joysticks so close together that my thumbs were constantly touching. I think the total amount of hours played on this system was somewhere in the double digits. Biggest waste of money of my gaming career.
That’s a neat idea. A little dial that flares out the shell where the palms are would be pretty sick. Maybe that’s too complicated and heavy to be worth it, but what if it could be adjustable with a screwdriver?
Duke? Is that the Xbox 1 pad? Because I actually loved that. It's a chunker but was very comfortable for my larger hands. Reminded me a lot about the Dreamcast gamepads.
Yeah, that’s the one. The Original Xbox Duke and the X360 controller are the GOATs imo. The Xbox One controller is also fairly decent but it took a while to get used to it.
The 360 & One pad look nearly the same to me in regards to their form. I have a 360 one still and I hate it because the dpad is the absolute worst garbage. It's inaccurate as hell and gets tiring real quick. Really struggled with that in CrossCode. I also hate how only the Chinese pads seem to have hall sensors.
Fair enough, but the dpad on the 360 one was an improvement compared to the one from the Duke.
I was mostly ranking them in regards to general ergonomics. The Xbox One controller just feels more “slippery”, the 360 had a better feel to it, probably because the handles were more rounded.
I only used the Duke on the actual Xbox, while I use my current pad on my PC - or at least very rarely. There's generally more games on the PC where I can make use of the dpad (retro & indie gaming). Never really had to use it on the Xbox back then.
