There is no reason to play anything on Nintendo systems other than Bassin's Black Bass with Hank Parker for SNES. This is the single greatest fishing game ever created, and still holds the #1 spot even today. Not to be confused with Super Black Bass, which is the inferior earlier version of this game. Super Black Bass is for Mormons.
Dang, if that didn't have Nintendo on it I'd be posting it in some deztiny 2 discords right about now
Still appropriate
That is a well done photoshop
bravo
Are you congratulating the AI that made this lol
Well? You only give out a Well done?! :o
"You are sheltering enemies of the Plumber.... are you not?"
I will take this opportunity to shill the Steam Deck. It's awesome and Valve doesn't shaft you whenever they can. Also cough WiiU and Switch 1 emulation cough.
I love the fact you can just switch to desktop mode and have a (mostly) fully functional Linux install.
It's not just they let you do it, they set it all up for you!
Recently started playing Pkmn Platinum on my SteamDeck.
Also set up automatic sync of game saves and save states (native saves and snapshots of current state).
Same for Yuzu :)
So beautiful.
And the sync is so well done it's glorious!
The fact that they just dropped family sharing on us and there's hardly any game excluded is insane. Games I never would have picked up otherwise, I get to try now because one of my brother's bought it. We don't even get the bullshit video streaming sites do "this content is disappearing from family sharing soon....".
And the ones without family sharing are usually excluded because of their publishers.
That block on Geforce Now was the worst.
I didn't even use it and I was still angry.
Never buy The Longest Dark. The Devs for that game helped spearhead that block solely because they wanted people to pay twice.
Let's also not forget how they started selling DLC before the game was out of early access
“You have preserved Nintendo games on your computer, do you not?”
Nintendo when they catch me playing Mario 64 at 120fps and a working camera instead of their intended cinematic 30fps. Also they delisted the 3D mario collection on Switch and killed mario just to fuck with you.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars? Don't believe it was ever available digitally. They did like two limited edition physical runs, and that's it. Much like how they released Mario DDR back in the day.
Edit: And yes, fuck Nintendo. Just clarifying it was never really listed on their digital store, anyway...
They did release digitally, but removed it from the eshop after 6 months
The compilation was released on September 18, 2020, and was available until March 31, 2021, when it was discontinued and removed from the Nintendo eShop.
Looks like it was on the eshop for a whopping six months. I think that makes it worse to be honest.
Huh. I thought when it was listed it said physical only, but clearly I might misremember. Course no way to check, cause Nintendo are assholes.
Fully agree. You as a consumer aren’t obligated to remember all of their slights in detail, though. That’s why we have Wikipedia 😎
Original Mario All-Stars was better, atleast they bothered to upscale the sprites
They didn't just "upscale" the sprites, they completely remade the games in the Super Mario World engine.
3D All Stars was the laziest compilation ever. All they did was toss the ROMs and half-developed emulators onto the cartridge and called it a day. The games run worse and have more input lag than they did on their original consoles.
in terms of laziness you can’t beat mario all stars on the Wii tho. literally an SNES ROM on a Wii disc. that’s it.
they didn’t even bother to change the controller glyphs
Never owned a Wii but I'm not surprised. As a GameCube owner at the time, I refused to buy one on principle alone. I was beyond pissed that all Nintendo did was overclock a GameCube, throw it in a smaller form factor case, slap a new controller on it, and proceed to break sales records.

I wish they would have instead released motion controls for the GameCube if they didn't feel like designing new hardware, but somehow it worked out for them, despite being the laziest console design ever with the second worst name ever (behind "Wii U"). The motion controls were the only thing it had going for it. (I'll at least give Nintendo credit for inspiring the concept of motion controls in the living room that eventually lead to affordable VR, if nothing else.)
Lost trust in Nintendo for many years after that. Switched to XBOX 360 and got almost a decade of enjoyment out of that console. But then Microsoft went and ruined a good thing too, somehow managing to fuck everything up, despite buying some big names and now owning some of the most legendary brands in gaming history. They went from making my favorite console of all time, to releasing generic black rectangles with names like XBOX Series One SXT 4x4 3.8L Turbo. It's like they are intentionally sabotaging their brand so they can go back to focusing on software.
Anyway shit like this is why I exclusively play PC games now. I mean the Switch was cool for the first few years but then they got all butthurt and can't handle the fact that other people can make a Pokémon game better than them and make their games run better on PC than on their own hardware... So much for second chances—fool me twice.
