Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.
Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.
Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Thats what i like to see.
3DS sold a lot this week. Xbox sales may go higher with the recent release of the 100$ xbox, MS will just need to advertise it.
3ds dominating again!
PSV did 5K more than the PSP? Not good.
On another note can someone explain to me that owns a 3DS why you think it is the top selling device all the time? I maybe want to play black and white 2 and fire emblem. An I honestly can't think of anything else I would want to play on it. It would be nice to see how long and for what some of these 3ds's get used for.
Besides the sales jump in Japan it just seems like another case of its a Nintendo handheld and people eat that up. Kind of like the way people buy ipods without even thinking about it. I mean hey, I used to own every Nintendo handheld until it went to the DS and they were all worth it. I am just curious if its just the same thing new generation. For me the reason I bought them like that back then is because from the start there were so many games I wanted to play it was a no brainier.
Now it doesn't feel like that at all with only 5 games max I'd want to play on it.
