I was going to be a never GKC, but this one I am tempted for, only because of the money works out that 7 and 8 basically 10 bucks a pop.

Nice of you to go down on him even though he was being rude.

The Criterion NFS Hot Pursuit was a big hit among my friends in college.

Only CEOs get to so confidently post something that is essentially "I'm really fucking bad at my job."

Where a business outfit and be a CEO.

Same for me. I think I only first found out because of a link on NintendoLife or some site. Nintendo is really quiet on promoting the art books. There are a decent amount that have been released.

I don't remember if it was in a Direct, but book was announced a long time ago. I just checked and I had put my order in almost a year ago.

Best highway driving education out there. Never again will anyone tailgate a tractor trailer carrying logs.

Maybe? It is hard to say if Xbox was the cause or just the first in an inevitable progression.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 7

The concept is solid. And then you get salamanders.

I can see this, but I think even including that, Xbox was a good force to stop Sony from getting too full of itself.

The full completion isn't as bad as 3D world where you have to beat with every character. Technically it is fine if you played the game with four people, but as a single it is a pain in the ass.

It is an 80s banger.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

So again, I apologize if I made you angry, as it really was not my intention. And I'm sorry if I wasn't clear at the point I was trying to make.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

So when you bring up how there were 3rd party games, of course I am going to respond ask for metrics like sales or number of games released, because those are the metrics that typically indicate if such games actually influenced the Wii's console success.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

And the reason it felt like shifting goalposts was because the statement that brought you into this thread was about third-party support on the Wii and my view that 3rd party on Wii had no real effect.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

Like taking my statement of "The Wii didn't have a lot of third party." as meaning the Wii had zero third party feels really disingenuous. Especially when the next things I say are literally about Ubisoft though "overall third party was low".

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

Look, I'm really sorry if I made you mad, as it was not my intention. And going back, I realized that I missed some nuance in your first reply of Wii having different type of third-party support. But I feel like you are also miisinterpreting things that I've said.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

I don't know. Maybe. Personally I think as long as engines like Unreal, Unity, etc. support Xbox, it will have some third party support because the development overhead is relatively cheap. I think just more likely Microsoft stops making Xbox consoles before it reaches the point of no 3rd party.

dmanatunga @dmanatunga.bsky.social · Oct 3

Fair enough. But then I don't get why you even bring up the fact that about some Wii owners not even knowing who Mario is or that at a lot of people just get it for WiiSports.

Luckily we don't need to worry about it if they got ChatGPT for a brain.
