It seems I am the only one who expected this paper to talk about R4 and fellow DS/GBA cartridges.

I mean, it's still Andross vs Star Fox with the exact same map, so a very lazy sequel.

Actually interested if you're okay with shipping it across the sea.

Good luck finding a TT030 cheaper than a Falcon030...

Ah, my bad. I agree with your analysis.

Although Nintendo is still following the path of "gaming enshittification" with lesser budgets; and I would argue that Star Fox mostly sells because there's barely anything to play on that 500$ thing...

My point wasn't about Nintendo ruining things in-house rather than them following the exact same trends than Sony & Microsoft, only a few years late.

MP4 is what OP was talking about, an "interactive Hollywood" experience that betrays previous Metroids, adds discutable open-world design cues, and locks features behind $30 figures.

Star Fox (SNES), Star Fox 2 (SNES mini), Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3D, Star Fox Zero and Star Fox (Switch 2), while having minor gameplay differences, are all retellings of the same in-game story (the eponymous Lylat Wars).

Things are not that black and white.

Nintendo also shipped Metroid Prime 4, with massive delays and unsatisfied customers, following the same "interactive Hollywood" philosophy which disappointed Metroid fans.

Same thing goes for Star Fox, a remake of a remake of a remake, with poor visual and dialogue choices.

And meanwhile, the same silent push for digital-only, forced upgrades and the like...

Replicants are not robots, and are arguably not AI. LLMs aren't AI either, but once the bullshit's out of the bag...

On the other hand, I was using Bunny DNS free for years, and now I have to pay $1/month to use it. Need to migrate somewhere else.

* Not all PS4 games can run on PS5. Granted, it's only a few edge cases. But you still need to pay the PS4>PS5 upgrade if you want to avoid bottlenecks.

* PS3 games and the like require a 150+$ yearly subscription, and it's streaming for many of them. No thanks.

* No PS2/PSP/Vita compatibility, heck no emulation at all.

This was not trolling at all, I didn't see these features on the website. Amazing, thanks for the quick response!

Nice project! It lacks two things that are very useful : website blocking, and !hashbangs like DDG.

Ads on a blog you selfpost on HN is a new low.

Prices for retro hardware are going up due to hoarders & sometimes social effect, too.

Being part of it myself, I think I've heard of it.

But I fail to understand how using the very thing that's shortening hardware life nowadays is "passionate". Different values I presume.

So, making obsolete hardware relevant by using the technology that's accelerating their "irrelevanceness" ?

> You can't just redistribute it as dividends, otherwise it's an admission that you won't grow and giving you more money would be a 0 sum game.

I don't understand the logic behind this.
