Cause at this point, I'd buy several clones before I consider $80. (lemmy.world)

You know, like McDowells. I don't actually care what color my shells are. There are principals involved. Principalities!

This anti Nintendo thing is a bit much. Especially when every other game company out there has games that cost $150+

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Base games? No, they do not. This isn't some "special edition" or whatnot where there's a cheaper option available, it's the base version of a game.

[+] [email protected] -18 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Yes they do. I just went on steam and there’s a shit load of games that are that price. Xbox does it, Nintendo does it, PlayStation does it. Yes it sucks, and I can also admit we’ve been lucky, games used to $80 30 years ago, and if they had kept up with the rest of the world they would all be $300+ now

Is it possible you're not talking about USD? Otherwise I have literally no idea what drugs you're taking.

Can you provide links to, say 5 different games who's base price without dlc is $150?

[+] [email protected] -15 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Da fuck is this a homework assignment? For someone who will just ignore anything I post anyways?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

It's a "you're full of shit but I'll be polite and just ask you to prove what you're saying instead of jumping right to calling you out directly".

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao can't provide proof when called out. Cmon show me all the EA, Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Square Enix, From soft, Cdpr, etc titles with a base price of $150. This should be easy since everyone's doing it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ok if links to 5 is too much work, can you name one or two examples, without the links? We can all Google here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'd accept even one example of a new base game being sold at a price higher than $70 US (before Mario Kart World), because I know it doesn't exist.

The world needs wacky wheels again

Instantly got the main menu theme in my head.
It was an awesome game, but now I get headache from the fast moving low pixel graphics. I would definitely play it again with a few pixels more.

Haven't seen Dr Robotnik's Ring Racers mentioned yet. Open source game based on the Freedoom engine.

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago (7 children)

The Mario part. You can copy the Kart part all day. They've been doing so since at least the 64. See:

Diddy Kong Racing
Crash Team Racing
Burger King Pocketbike Racer

Skunny Kart was my favourite, mostly because it was by a group called "CopySoft"

Basically every kind of game needs a "MUGEN" for that genre. Then we just put in the content we want and theme it appropriately.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Does SuperTuxKart fit the bill?

It's crazy this hasn't happened yet. Kart racers are conceptually very simple games and are all very similar. CTGP kinda does this but is limited by Mario Kart's engine.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Right? A series of adjustable physics inputs, a way to import levels and tag areas with terrain info that's defined in a file somewhere... Typing it out? I think it's wild that it happened to fighting games BEFORE it happened to a lot of other genres.
