Checking out mods and saw one that messes around with Midgar's lighting.

It's amazing how much better it looks, not to mention closer to the source material...

LOL I didn't see where you said you started playing a new game but I instantly knew where that was from.

*EDIT* Actually on second thought I think I just forgot. Still knew roughly where you were in the game just off of the side incident, though.

People love complaining about current localizations but the SNES era ones were pretty bad actually
FFIV may be a great Star Wars game but the translated dialogue is laughable most of the time

No additional games for NES Mini. No internet or storage either.

Hopefully mods could fix dat.

I just saw this and laughed:

Could Go create War?

I heard of this at the University this morning, I laughed pretty hard, and I'm still the only one in the entire class that doesn't have Pokemon Go even if they are all telling me "You should let yourself go and get it.", and I still say "NOPE.", I may be a pokemon fan even more than any of my classmates, but I don't like how they look all the time staring at their smartphones and shouting like crazy when they "encounter" a Pokemon, and as I have told them, I'm on my own hunt for pokemon plushies and stuff every tuesday, friday and sunday, walking under the hot sun and something with a lot of weight over my shoulders thanks to what I carry after school.

Wow, Nintendo already released an official website for NES Mini (doesn't offer any info we don't know).

Is this running via an emulator?

We aren’t discussing technical specifications.

Somehow, somewhere in NeoGAF someone is spinning this into it meaning it's got hidden NX tech.

Looking at the info Nintendo has given us, this NES Classic Edition seems to be nothing more than a nostalgia novelty with no possible connections with any main systems (outside of controllers).

Oh ****! That game library is actually really ****ing stacked. Castlevania, Mega Man 2, StarTropics, Super Contra, Ninja Gaiden, Final Fantasy, Ghosts 'n Goblins. Like damn. This thing is actually worth the price!

Y'know with this NES deal I might have another go at Metroid 1 given that my playthrough of Zero Mission abruptly ended once I got to Norfair.

Hey, now that Pokémon is once again the big thing that everybody is into (it always was a big franchise but GO has brought it back at full center), i just realized......

Nintendo just recently announced a Nes Classics Collection, and that got me thinking.....

...What if, Nintendo does a Game Boy/Game Boy Color Classics with Pokémon on it?

HELL YES DO WANT! It could use major updates graphically but it looks great so far.

Honestly, this whole NES Classic Edition is extremely surprising to come from Nintendo. Nintendo almost never releases compilation games (even retro ones) and would rather want you to buy each game individually (even earlier than Virtual Console with the Classic NES Series & NES e-Reader both for Game Boy Advance).

Not only is that, they actually took the effort to include big third party titles too (13 games from SEVEN companies). If it was 100% Nintendo published games, I probably wouldn't get this.

I hope Nintendo does more of this in the future.

The biggest thing about this is that the Wii U mods look incredible and everyone has given up on 3DS modding


I hate being a 3DSonly owner. I just want more costumes and other stuff but GBAtemp has almost next to nothing as of late

3DS modding will probably take off once Smash 3DS and all of the DLC and patches are up and running on that 3DS emulator without hiccups and with enhancements like native 1080p.

I'd consider maybe trying 3DS modding but IIRC it's a futile effort on New 3DS because the firmware is too new or something even by default.

Can someone explain how anyone could have this kind of opinion?

I think the last paragraph's harsh, especially if read out of context. Making fun of "nerds" isn't really productive and a game encouraging people to be active isn't a bad thing.

But put in context, I think the author's frustration is understandable. Even if both guys had good intentions and didn't realize they were making her uncomfortable, they were still strangers to her. Given that women receiving unwanted attention from men is a huge problem, I think the author was justified in being annoyed by those guys' actions. I feel like it'd be a bit different if they were trying to start up a conversation about Go at a meet up or con, but it seems perfectly legitimate to me to not want random guys to talk to you when you're on the bus or walking down the street. I also don't think it's reasonable or appropriate for a guy to ask a gal he doesn't know for her number after seeing her play Go like that. That just really seems like overstepping your boundaries to me.

Basically, while I don't think gamers should just stay indoors, I also think women who play Go in public shouldn't have to put up with a bunch of unwanted attention from men.

So yeah, while I don't think gamers should just stay indoors, I also think women who play Go in public shouldn't have to put up with a bunch of unwanted attention from men.

The guy wanted to socialize a bit and I think both were in the wrong but moreso the girl in the sense that she's kinda being melodramatic about him talking about GO in a positive light and would have went away.

What was he supposed to do? Even if he ignored her, wasn't like he was doing anything else but commenting on it.

But I guess socializing is considered bad now but I don't know what the world is now

On the one hand, Cecil's promotion looks awesome in modern times.

On the other, it means I was wrong that the main character of FF4 is a dragoon, meaning he isn't a spear user.

FF4 confirmed trash.

Everyone is afraid of socialising these days.

I'm admittedly a bit of a loner and don't have a lot of people to hang out with, IRL or online, but one of the main reasons is because socialising with people has become so difficult these days. Not because I'm shy or awkward. While I am sort of an "only talks if he has something to say" kind of person, I don't consider myself socially awkward and can strike up conversations just fine when I want to. And even when I can't think of much to say, I'm a good listener.

But nowadays, it feels like everyone is either molded into some sort of clique or gang and won't socialise with anyone outside of it, if not outright be a **** to people outside of it.

Or people are paranoid to the point they think everyone is out to get them.

Like seriously, I have the easiest time socialising with senior citizens because they're the only people who don't seem to fall under the above two traits most of the time. You say hello, and they'll stop to chat with you about all sorts. It's great.

Young people these days are so afraid of something bad happening to them that they rarely want to socialise outside of their cliques and childhood friends that they've already established, and so the only place they will socialise outside of their comfort zone is at nightclubs and the like, when they're completely drunk. Whether it being afraid of harmless embarrassment or being kidnapped, they can't talk to people and let them in without some drink on them.

Oh, and of course having their faces stuck in their phones is another problem.

And this kind of thing just leads to people like that woman who wrote that article.

Stuff like this is basically why I've stopped trying to look for new friends or whatever. I just go with the flow now. If I can become friends, or even find a lover, without having to really "look" for them and it just sort of happens, then I take that to mean they were truly meant to be in my life. That's how my friendships with my two best friends started.

Nintendo has the IP's to take over the mobile market. Strategy games, community simulation games, platformers, and puzzle games are especially popular on mobile. Nintendo has a well known property for all those. Fire Emblem, Animal Crossing, Super Mario Bros., and Dr. Mario.

Honestly seeing as the NX is confirmed to have a mobile tie in of sorts it's for the best that Nintendo stops holding off on the NX reveal and just reveal the damn console before the end of August and especially before Pokemon Go begins to cool off. They have so many eyes on their brand right now so now's the best time to reveal the NX.
