NES Remix Contest is Canceled Due to Cheating

Sometimes you just can’t have nice things. A time attack contest for the NES Remix is officially cancelled because players have been exploiting a tactic to decrease their times. Players discovered that if they repeatedly paused the game, there was a short delay between when gameplay resumed and when the clock resumed.

This is why we can't have nice things Dana.

This is why Call of Duty sucks. Players discovered that if they stay stationary in a corner someone will run past them a.k.a "chickens with their heads cut off", and they could easily get a kill, thus spawning the degenerate camping generation.

Uhhh that's not an exploit to me. It's a lame tactic but a tactic none the less. I would say getting into places that weren't intended to by the devs is an exploit. That's just me though.

guitarded773786d ago

Call of Duty online sucks for more reasons than that. The game is designed to allow for people to exploit. They've kept quick-scoping because the 12 year-olds get all pissy if they say they're gonna remove it, everyone hops around like a bunch of rabbits. Then if you're lucky you can spawn in an open area and have a missile dropped on your head.6 seconds after entering the battle.

Kinda sucks that this NES Remix competition got cancelled, I'm sure the "retro" gamers were looking forward to it.

well in all fairness camping in war been around quite a few years imo.

snipers be silly to jump up and down in air wouldnt they
i semi camp while i get used to maps a bit and then im all over ,duck,move,shoot towards cover and move again etc etc.

this article is about cheating,cheating in COD is when folk climb into scenery(rocks,walls etc)
camping is a style of gameplay.

quickscoping is cheating in a way though.

Reeze3786d ago

Well, if you think about it, camping is just a tactic.

I've been camping in laser tag since I was seven, and it works really well.

I think of cheating as more "taking advantage of what the devs didn't intend to happen," if that makes sense.

Neonridr3786d ago

@RyuCloudStrife - Ironically enough if you were in a real war, that is exactly the kind of tactics you would employ though. As if you would be running out in the middle of an open field begging to be shot.. ;)

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
