Lol they chose Sonic Heroes over Prime or MGS Twin Snakes 🤦🏻♂️
Nintendo fans discover that an old game released by the United States government includes audio that it took from the Nintendo DS game, Yoshi's Island DS.
Truth isn't truth. If the White House says it isn't stolen or even that Nintendo stole it from them, their followers are kinda obligated to believe it.
So someone hired a developer to make a flash game, and that developer used music from Yoshi's Island. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but isn't it the developer's fault first and foremost for knowingly ripping off the music?
And No! Most likely no one in the EPA questioned the music because they most likely never played Yoshi's Island. So, IMO, it's not the gov's fault, it's the developer's fault... and I'm damn certain the gov will be no longer doing business with them.
The dev could be held culpable, but the company, or in this case the government, is ultimately responsible for performing its due diligence and not infringing on copyright.
Well... If the company / government were smart (not saying they always are...), they would have put in the contract that the product will be made on "good faith." And if not, then they would be able to get the dev for breach of contract.
Yeah, that's why I said the dev could be held culpable. But if Nintendo decided to sue, which they probably wouldn't and would just issue a cease and desist, then they'd sue the US government, then the government would sue the developer, or there would already be something in the contract to deal with that...which wouldn't surprise me being it's from the US government.
Yoshi has been a part of the Mario series since 1990, but wasn’t the main headline of his own title until a few years later. The lovable dinosaur has been a partner to Mario, played sports, solved puzzles and even helped Mario shoot down enemies in a safari, but where he shined most was his platforming appearance in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island. Today this game is still praised as one of the best from the SNES era and as Yoshi’s best title by far, so why does it seem that Nintendo is straying further from what made it work in favor of Yoshi titles that aren’t as good?
I just bought Yoshi’s Island on Wii U and I may try Yoshi’s Island DS again next
Agreed, Yoshi's Island was the shit. One issue might be their attempt at keeping the graphics current-gen. They're so focused on realism they turned him into a ball of Yarn and now are having him traverse cardboard scenery. Yeah, the art styles look nearly perfected and in many ways near real, and if they tried to do a realistic jungle it might look imperfect all around, but the fact of the matter is they're too focused on gimmicks.
Forget the superrealistic art style influencing the entire game for a second, bring back the mechanics and design of the old ones. Even if the style is imperfected, they can do BETTER.
Some of it, like oversizing elements so they can show all the detail, or completely redesigning levels is hampering everything about the old games that made them special.
So what if they can't do a superrealistic jungle? Bring a cartoony one but keep all the core elements the same.
To be fair I liked Yoshi's Story as well. But these new ones are focusing too much on graphics to the point graphics are changing gameplay mechanics.
Critically maybe, but even there the games come out okay. From a sales perspective the games do perfectly fine, hence why Nintendo continues to make them the way that they are.
Relax, the new Yoshi game hasn’t come out yet. Let reserve our judgement until it hit the store shall we?
I think people are worried because of Kirby. They have always catered to similar audiences and it is not too far fetched to think that the new Yoshi will be shallow and too easy like Star Allies was.
However you are right, we won't truly know until it releases.
We’ve had how many entries In the Yoshi franchise now and how many have been as good as the original yoshi’s Island? I think people have a right to be concerned.
......Must they make the skylanders association to introduce Spyro..... Really? Sigh... As if the playstation trilogy isn't worthy of recognition on it's own?
Also the third game 'Year of the dragon' had eggs as the main collectible, while they were a minor thing in the first game.
I love me some Billy Hatcher that was a great gamecube game.. sigh sega I miss u..
