Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Such a shame, I grew up with Nintendo's products starting with the SNES, and loved them. Unfortunately they're such a terrible company to their own fans, I now absolutely hate them. I will probably never buy another product from them again.

Same (unless they make some drastic changes), but I agree with Cifaldi's outro here on all the ways that this system was super important to the medium's history, even the parts like total control over the system's library that today is nothing short of bad for the consumer.

No doubt, I can separate the historical significance of something, from my feelings. The NES was amazing for the gaming industry, and changed history forever. But I still hate Nintendo, lol

There's a new mod to play the wii U version of botw in VR coming out in 2 days hopefully it doesn't get nuked before the release...

They are truly absolute cunts, I’ll only ever pirate any of their stuff

[–] dukemirage@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Half-assed approach. If you truly mean it then don’t consume their products at all, this gives them cultural legitimacy.

Those concept designs look dope as hell. No way would they’ve been able to produce that for less than $150 in the 80’s.

Also I see some modern PlayStation design language in them, did Sony copy Nintendo’s homework lol.

Yes. Yes they did because the PlayStation was supposed to be a Nintendo and Sony collaboration.
