          Nintendo’s speedrunning collection made me see NES classics in a new way

            • Each challenge gets a score based on speed and in-game currency for unlocking more challenges.

            • Players are asked to perform tasks as fast as possible in Speedrun Mode.
          • Deception (80%)
            The author expresses his personal experience and opinions about the game Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition. He shares how the game made him see classic NES games in a new way by focusing on speed. The author's statements are not factually incorrect but are subjective and editorializing, making it a deceptive practice according to the analysis rules.
            • I found myself playing them differently, which is sort of obvious since the goal here is entirely speed.
            • It showed me a new side to games I thought I knew intimately.
            • I have always struggled with the twitchy sword fighting in The Adventure of Link, for example, so the challenges around combat were intimidating. But much like beating your head against a wall with an Elden Ring boss, I found myself slowly learning how and when to attack, and I actually got better at the game.
          • Fallacies (95%)
            The author makes several comparisons between the games in their original form and the speedrunning version, implying that the speedrunning version is a new experience. This could be seen as an appeal to novelty or a hasty generalization fallacy. However, since the author also acknowledges that they have played these games extensively before and have gained new insights from the speedrunning challenges, it does not seem like an intentional attempt to deceive or mislead. The author also uses inflammatory language when describing their past experiences with certain games, such as 'hating' Balloon Fight even more after attempting some of the master challenges. This could be seen as an appeal to emotion fallacy, but it is not clear if the author intends to manipulate the reader's emotions or simply expressing their own feelings.

          Review: Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition (Switch) - Speed-Focused And Slight, But Addictive

          Nintendo Life Nintendo Life Wednesday, 17 July 2024 12:00
          • Unique Points
            • The game focuses on speed and scoring the fastest time to complete objectives.
            • There are two main modes: World Championships and Survival.
          • Accuracy
            • Speedrun Mode features 150 trials across titles like Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong.
            • Players are asked to perform tasks as fast as possible in Speedrun Mode.
          • Deception (50%)
            The article contains editorializing and selective reporting. The author expresses their personal opinions and excitement about the game, which goes beyond just reporting the facts. They also focus on certain aspects of the game (speed) while ignoring others (lack of graphical tweaks or variety).
            • What’s pushed us into more positive territory in the end, has been the fun of witnessing younger players trying NES games for the first time.
            • However, once you get into the groove, once you start competing, Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition switches through the gears and becomes something we can see ourselves continuing to dip into for the refreshed challenges that make up the game’s two main modes.
            • We enjoyed it for what it was back in the day, and now Nintendo has seen fit to return to similar grounds with Nintendo World Championships: NES Edition, a game that aims to put you in the shoes of a competitor at the Nintendo World Championships! Ok, so maybe we’re forcing the excitement just a little here...
          • Fallacies (85%)
            The author makes several appeals to the reader's emotions by expressing their initial nonplussed feelings towards the game and then later describing their enjoyment of it. This is an example of an appeal to emotion fallacy. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe some aspects of the game as a 'downgrade' and 'slight thing'.
            • However, here there’s actually much less in terms of variety with regards to the objectives and ways in which challenges are meted out.
            • It feels like a downgrade initially...
            • Once you get into the groove, once you start competing...
          • Bias (95%)
            The author expresses a personal opinion that the game is 'a slight thing' and 'purely speed-focused'. This language implies a negative bias towards the game, as if suggesting that speed and competition are not valuable aspects of gaming. However, this is subjective and does not necessarily reflect objective bias.

              Nintendo NES World Championships: A Party Game That Should Be a Switch Online Freebie

              • Deception (80%)
                The author expresses their opinion that the game should be a free addition to Nintendo's Switch Online service instead of a $30 purchase. This is an example of selective reporting as the author only mentions the price and their opinion without providing any context or information about the value or content of the game beyond what they believe it should be. The author also makes editorializing statements such as 'I want more' and 'it really feels like' which are not facts but rather their personal feelings.
                • This game is a fun summer surprise overflowing with mini-challenges, but I want more.
                • It feels like the sort of bonus gaming mode that should be rolled into Nintendo’s Switch Online Expansion Pack service.
              • Fallacies (85%)
                The author makes an appeal to authority by mentioning their background and expertise in technology and gaming. They also use inflammatory rhetoric when they express their disappointment that the game is not comprehensive and that it feels like a bonus gaming mode. However, these do not directly impact the content of the article or any logical fallacies.
                • ] I want more. Not just more games or more challenges but more Nintendo platforms,[
