Shadows of Almia. Man that brings back memories.~
NOA’s digital selections are garbage! Every time I look to see if there’s something I’m interested in I ask myself what’s the point, because there is never anything worth buying on the eshop, and the ones worth getting I already own on my older consoles! While making this comment I realized that the only IPs Nintendo has that I actually want are StarFox, Zelda, Metroid, and F-Zero, and they managed to screw one of those up by forcing unwanted controls on anyone who bought StarFox, they are just trolling Metroid fans to the point where they are about to just stop supporting Nintendo altogether, F-Zero may never come, and Zelda NX may just be a straight import of the WiiU version on the NX with no added benefits in visuals! I guess it’s time to move on to other franchises, at least I have these games to replace the void left behind by Nintendo’s lack of support for their other IPs and here are my replacements…
Metroid>No Man’s Sky sense of solitude combined with exploration
Mario>Gravity Rush 1&2 Colorful world, exploration, and fun
Zelda>Horizon Zero Dawn
StarFox>EVERSPACE and EVE Valkyrie
Yup, I think I’m done with Nintendo after this.
You know what I think’s really sad?
I know how really sad you are
I’m probably going to leave real soon
I just want to let you know before I say
Au Revoir, Au Revoir
I bet you don’t even know what that means
Au Revoir, Au Revoir
I bet you don’t even know what that means
Lol, well said.
When the UK offerings, a country that use to get shit all over by Nintendo back in the day, are better than the NA ones, you know Nintendo of America has gone to utter shit. Well better bunker down for another generation of Puppet Reggie leading NoA and taking it up the ass & mouth by his overlords over in Japan instead of fighting for what American Nintendo fans want. “I don’t understand what you don’t like about Other M.” Reggie a few years back. Soon, he’ll be repeating that fucking idiotic line when FedshitForce doesn’t sell worth shit! “I don’t understand what you don’t like about Federation Force.” Of course you don’t, fucktard! Go back to Pizza Hut where you belong with their not so freshly prepared food!
