Any weird/controversial opinions? I’ll start. Before the remake, the best version of Resident Evil 4 was the Wii version. The Wiimote controls old Resi’s tank controls better than any other controller at the time. The PC version had a bunch of little bugs and detractors that the Wii version just doesn’t have.
I’ll extend this by saying that the Wiimote is actually pretty damn good for shooters, and particularly good for accessibility. Not having to cramp up my hands to press buttons is awesome for having arthritis. Aiming with the Wiimote and moving with the nunchuck just feel really natural, you barely have to move your fingers for anything.
Exclusives can be beneficial.
By exclusives, I don’t mean Sony/Microsoft pay the developer for exclusivity, that sucks.
What I’m referring to is a developer picking a platform and developing a game using that platforms full potential.
Games like Zelda, Crash Bandicoot, God Of War, Last Of Us all took full potential of their consoles architecture and brought pretty good games.
Yeah, I think most people in general are fine with Nintendo exclusives, since it’s nearly the only console maker on the market that doesn’t ship out what is essentially just an optimized pc. Especially since the Nintendo emulation scene is so incredibly thriving, games being exclusives there is generally only true on paper.
With that said: Fromsoft I am begging you release Bloodborne on PC I need my 60+ fps no motion blur game that is wetter than a crushed tomato and edgier than London’s knife bins’ contents. I want to replay it but I don’t have the magic box anymore goddamnit…
Exclusive optimisation is amazing. Some of the games they squeezed out of some consoles is amazing. I can’t believe tears of the kingdom runs so well on the switch. There was also an amazing PS2 game called “black”.

I can’t comprehend how Nintendo managed to make Tears of the Kingdom on a console like the switch. And I’ll check out Black, thnx for the suggestion
