    I have never felt the need to use YouTube for anything aside from classic comedy clips, music, gameplay clips and trailers. So, YouTube personalities like these pass me by. I’m one of those types who instantly closes a video if I hear commentary or talking over it. I don’t want to hear that shite.

    Maybe it’s because I grew up without YouTube, unlike my daughter. She watches so much utter shit on there, unfortunately.

    However, I have watched one LTT video before when doing some electronic engineering classes, and we were shown one to explain some thing I can’t remember. I do remember saying the guy seemed like a right prick, to the chagrin of others in my class. A smug, know-it all prick.

    Well, guess who feels vindicated today! Me!








  • I’d say that ones a full remake, of which Nintendo genuinely do really well on. Enough of the original Xenoblade exists in DE to classify it as a remaster/enhanced edition of the Wii version though imo. Others may disagree

    I’d say their remasters are usually lazy cash grabs and their remakes are great. Wind Waker is an odd one that had a lot of work put into it but fell short to the original art style for some, which is subjective.

    And yeah fuck Nintendo as a company, it’s just a shame they make such amazing games that you can’t get anywhere else (apart from emulation, I use Yuzu for switch games)



  • There are some rare exceptions. For every Mario 3D All Stars (shite), you have things like Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition with a new game engine, entirely new character and environment models and textures, entirely new UI and quest tracking, new challenge modes, the soundtrack re-recorded with a full orchestra with the original included too, and an additional 30 hour story expansion with an entirely new area and battle system adjustments, with all the returning VA from before.

    No fan mods for the Wii version can ever come close to that.

    Yeah, it’s why I run everything up to the N64 on real hardware or my MiSTer FPGA/analogue pocket, then everything N64 and above I prefer emulation for the sheer benefit of upscaling, 60fps mods and texture packs in addition to visual accuracy if needed (Mupen64 with the ParaLLeL video core in native resolution with a good shader is as good in my eyes as my old UltraHDMI modded Nintendo 64 was).
