'Once upon a time (1997 to be precise) Rare were arguably the greatest development house in the world. Developing purely for Nintendo, they had rode a wave of critical and commercial success through the 90s, spearheaded by their mastery of Silicon Graphics and the first-class Donkey Kong Country series, which reached its zenith with the ground-breaking Goldeneye 007. After this, they produced a string of classic N64 games, including Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64 and Perfect Dark.
During this golden age they only developed one racing game, but what a game it was. Funnily enough, that game is Diddy Kong Racing, for those who aren't fans of reading titles. Equally surprisingly, the game involves Diddy Kong and his various Rare/Nintendo buddies, although he is not the main protagonist. That honour belongs to Timber the Tiger; he and his friends are racing on his parent's island when the evil Wizpig comes from space to take over their race-tracks. . .'
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
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."
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.
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.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
