Forums - Nintendo - A thank you letter to Nintendo for the Virtual Console

As I stated before elsewhere, the power of nostalgia seems to have blinded people to the actual quality of Ys Books I & II on Turbo CD. It's... not a very good game. In fact it's downright mediocre at best, a barely-modified port of a Sega Master System game with a new translation, some fancy introductory proto-FMVs, half the music in Redbook CD audio format, and about 3 minutes' worth of voice acting. The gameplay is sub-par, the hit detection is suspect, the hitstun period is punishingly microscopic, the monster AI is laughable, many bosses require luck instead of skill to defeat, and the overall presentation just isn't that great.



Sky Render - Sanity is for the weak.

They won't read it. If your insistent, make it at least 1 page and formalize it semi-block, NO sigs, codenames, tags, etc.

Your face isn't a very good game!!!

.......

...

Yeah!



No, but my face is not meant for interactive entertainment purposes. Whereas Ys I & II is. Which makes its inability to be particularly good interactive entertainment a bit of a drawback, whereas my face's lack of that quality is probably a benefit. Certainly I don't think anybody would buy my face to play with it, though plenty of people buy Ys I & II for that purpose.

I am skeptical of the bolded sentence, and will not deign to continue this discussion until you have proven its veracity.

 

In all seriousness though, you're always welcome to your opinion. Mine's radically different though. I still enjoyed the game quite a bit, and I really haven't experienced any of the problems you spoke of. For me, it's a steal at eight bucks. Wha'cha gonna do?

The only person who gets enjoyment from interacting with my face for entertainment purposes is myself. And possibly others by proxy if I ever get around to making a YouTube show.

And hey, if Ys I & II suits your tastes, fantastic. I don't think it's a bad game, incidentally; I just think it's overrated by a lot of people. I was able to play it for almost 3 hours before it frustrated me to the point of quitting, which is certainly a better track record than a bad game gets with me (few of those keep my attention for even 1 hour). Still, to me it's a largely average game that has a few neat features that were relatively jaw-dropping to the console crowd of 1990, but are decidedly underwhelming by modern standards

Haha, excellent letter..I hope you send it to Reggie =)

You're ideas are so fresh and new and have certainly never been said before by a million other fools over the last two years.  How do you manage to stay so on top of things?



Dear Nintendo,

Oh, you little b****. Did you not read the part about how I no longer have storage space, Nintendo? Is this why you asked for my storage space data on the Nintendo Channel, so you can wait until I'm full and then release all the goodies? "Tease" is too weak a word to describe you and your vixeny ways. Clu Clu Land AND Mario RPG...you make me feel like a beaten dog who keeps coming back for the delicious table scraps, and I hate you for it.

Next week had damn well better be something like Mary Kate & Ashley Visit the Mall, or you and I are through!

Annoyedly yours,
Noname2200

P.S. If we split up, I'm keeping the Zeldas.
