It’s one thing to go after the people producing a system that may or may not infringe your copyright (regardless of the consoles in question being supported any more), it’s another thing entirely to go after YouTubers who are not directly related to the manufacturers of the things they’re talking about
I played the SNES version for the first time earlier this year and the biggest crime for me is the lack of any evolution in the gameplay. Each world is a cosmetic reskin of the previous one. Would be better if the later levels had more objects to return, or different ways of finding them. Even just changing the Koopas behaviour would help a bit.
Would be marginally better if the Koopas or NPCs designs changed to reflect the location even slightly. Also the game actually gives very little reason to talk to 90% of the NPCs. Once you work out which city you’re in, you can ignore them and just go Koopa hunting.
But it’s still miles better than Mario’s Time Machine which doesn’t even try to pretend it’s anything other than a written history test.
@oknazevad that too. I realise the SNES wasn’t the original game. Perhaps I should have said “first SNES version” rather than original. I just thought it amusing to compare the NES against the initial SNES version.
@Moroboshi876 the original ROM was emulated in DK64 on the N64, which in turn was emulated on the Wii U. Unless I’m wrong, and that’s not the original Arcade version, as it labelled in-game. Noticeably this is several years after the lawsuit.

Re: Hands On: Xeno Crisis Continues Its Quest To Be Released On Every Gaming System Ever Made
@damo Does the Cube version run natively on a Wii, or would that need to be chipped/modded as well?

Re: Wii U And 3DS eShop Closure Is Removing Access To The Wider Goemon Series
Feel free to specify what those 9 games are if you actually want to offer a useful warning.
Because I count 3 games, including Konami Kraft Racers…. Unless you’re including Japan-exclusive options as well?

Re: New Book Charts The Anarchic Life Of GamesMaster, The UK's Biggest Video Game TV Show
That is a pretty awesome top tier reward, but £5k? Think I’ll pass. Also I don’t really want a tattoo.
Re: Polymega Release "Still On Track" Despite Production Problems
Sure... this is the Duke Nukem Forever of consoles...
Re: Channel 4 Is Resurrecting GamesMaster, The UK's Most Popular Video Game TV Show
If it doesn’t have Patrick Moore insulting little kids asking for cheats, it’s not Games Master.
But I’ll give it a shot, and Patrick Stewart is a great choice.

@BionicDodo @damo cool, thanks!
Re: Poll: Did You Know That GoldenEye Had A Dual-Analogue Control Option On N64?
What I want to know is - what’s the big white console on the far right of that setup, above the Technicolor N64?
