Shame about the time constraint, at least for the N64 version this game was all about stunt mode and mastering shortcut runs. Honestly, it wasn't that far off from Burnout Paradise in terms of level construction, just chopped up into discreet tracks. Would've been nice to see a little of that.
That said, the stunt track itself in 2049 was kind of weak compared to Rush 2 (and, honestly, original Rush), which was practically a Tony Hawk level. And the cars had some actual durability to them so it was fun to watch the deformation take hold of the frame. Life didn't get much better than split screen stunting at 10 FPS back then!
Preach. Rush 1 and 2, I mostly played single player, but 2049 was all about playing Stunt mode with friends. There was a long period of time where my friends and I were mostly playing this or Power Stone 2 when we hung out.
She refers to the movie as a mistake, points out how it was a big weird flop.
It's just hard to buy in to her proposition when both the audience and her seem to know that it is completely unlikely, even if Nintendo did some weird stuff with their IP 30 years ago.
She also did point out that the Virtual Boy was a similar disaster but keeps getting referenced in Nintendo products though.
Right, but I find these comparisons disingenuous. There is a significant difference between a console that Nintendo produced and supported for 4 years, and a movie that they signed off on that turned out to be remarkably weird.
Nintendo also used to primarily sell playing cards in cigarette stores, and invested in "love hotels" and instant rice. The argument of "They referenced this thing from their past so they should reference this other thing from their past." is just weak in my opinion.
I'm not saying the subject matter is bad - clearly the movie is a fascinating thing to study. But the argument that it should be canon just seems like it is based on ironic humor. I'd rather see a more straightforward approach. Or, at least, if she truly believes that it should be canon, then don't back off of that stance almost completely throughout the video.
It wasn't bad - decent production and seemed well researched, but I think I'd prefer a more earnest topic.
The whole "Make it canon, you cowards" thesis just seems like ironic humor.
