I dunno how I only just now noticed this, I dunno if it's always been there and I'm blind or if it's new, but they literally just slapped on a .png of the NA logo up in the top right corner, as if to say "Yeah guys, this is still the NA you know and love! Right?" Christ almighty, I'm a pretty easygoing guy and I'm not one to say stuff like this at the drop of a hat, but Jesus Christ that really is just pathetic. I saw that last night. It's like slapping a bumper sticker on a car that lost a demolition derby and trying to sell it as "slightly used". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick | 61 Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) NintendoAge was kind of shit, and had been shit for a great many years. Still, it's terribly sad to see it gone. Just last week I had referred a friend to "The Ultimate GameCube Variants Guide" thread made by the great NintendoTwizer which really was the greatest and definitive guide on North American Nintendo GameCube variants, and there's lots of threads and info like that which were filled with valuable information which I would regularly refer to for one reason or another. I get that the forum is "archived" now, but it's really not. There's so many threads like that which seem to be gone now, or at least are one step closer now to being faded away into oblivion. There's no reason the old NintendoAge forum couldn't still exist at nintendoage.com and just make people not be able to post on it or whatever. The GoCollect people really have no clue the difference between their asses and game collecting and a hole in the ground and it's sad. I'm happy to see this videogamesage.com forum and many familiar faces posting on it. Very awesome, guys. Edited November 2, 2019 by nick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just comes off as vindictive for them to censor that kind of thing. i know. as soon as i saw that i basically posted one more comment saying censoring makes me not even want to bother with it. i was willing to give it a chance once fully migrated and working but im not putting up with it. gocollect will fade away anyways. even if he brought back the old site im sure the hole is too big to patch now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grabbed mine weeks before the shutdown luckily. This is a second chance that might not be around for too much longer. http://74.86.217.179/forum/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DpadDanny | 27 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Sad to see NA go, but out of the ashes rises a sage, and it seems we are all off to a great start here. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trj22487 | 350 Posted November 3, 2019 Author Share Posted November 3, 2019 I feel bad for the people leaving comments on Nintendoage that they were in the middle of transactions and had no clue anything was happening to the site....there are probably more people in that situation than I thought there would be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deegs | 2 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I like how they killed off Sega Age and still don't have a Sega dedicated section on Go Collect. That to me really shows the knowledge Go Collect has in regards to video games. They prioritized an Xbox board over a Sega board. Don't get me wrong, I love Xbox, it's fun and cheap to pick up new games for but to completely alienate Sega, a set of platforms that still have ardent supporters and a vibrant homebrew/indie community, from your redesign is something else.

You talk as though they actually had a plan of any kind whatsoever, or that they even cared enough to "prioritize" anything... I'm a teacher, I can tell which of my students actually tried to do their homework and which ones just scribbled down whatever shit they could on the bus ride in.

I'm sure a Sega section will go up as soon as sealed Sonics start going for $100,000. In other news, http://playstationcollecting.com/ is still live, so last chance for anyone to pull off any images/collections/etc before it's nuked for good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Lurv | 254 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 It hit me this weekend how much I'll miss the old NA. I was at a game store browsing their wares and I instinctively pulled out my phone to look up rarity information on an NES game they had before I realized the database is gone. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
