Oh, yes! Positivity is the best way to deal with anything as deplorable as this - and it's great to hear more about your human experience. 🙂
I do worry for my kid's futures. Now and then I'm optimistic that, surely as time goes on things will get better. But you're right, it ebbs and flows. Sadly I feel like a rise in far/alt-right politics in the mainstream has really given the knuckle-dragging bigots the confidence they didn't have before to come out in droves. 😞

Yeah that's cool! We are actually fellas over here!

Thank you so much, Dylan and DC. Enjoying the stay so far for sure.

Just the ones I enjoy. Not a huge fan of the original.

I'm pretty sure Zelda is a staple.
Just imagine the backlash if they tried to do this without Zelda.
Good list!
You named some I had forgotten about that I would add to mine. (Donkey Kong 64 and Yoshi's Story mainly.)
Is it weird that I had never heard of Conker's Bad Fur day until, like, a couple of months ago. I'm astounded by how expensive used cartridges of that game are...Must have been pretty good.
Also why Mario Party 2 and 3, but not the original?
I don't even know anything about 3...I never got it, because the consensus in my childhood household (which I was on board with) was that 2 was trash.

Aye, both, sadly. 😔 
Personally, I’m a British-filipino (my mum’s from the Philippines, my dad’s English and I was born in Wales). As most inter-racial folks have suffered in one way or another, racism has affected my life growing up in the UK. I wish I could say it was getting better, but I feel - like most things in life - it actually ebbs and flows.
Anyway, I try to be positive. Otherwise it just becomes another thing that gets me down about the world/global climate at the moment. 😔 

^This. It's a must play game regardless what you're into. It's also on Steam for cheap so you can also get it there.

I know, the wit in the humour has me laughing every time. The choose your own adventure style of gameplay (though you have to follow the preset trajectory in a manner of speaking.)
Guys. If you haven't played this game, get onto GOG and buy it now.

Hi everyone!
I just found this forum through FP and it looked pretty amazing, and like a great community so I thought I'd join.
 
I don't give much about myself IRL away online, although it probably all comes out as I post. But just a basic run down.
I'm a husband, father of three, nearing 30 years old.
I'm not the most up-to-date with gaming, I do still buy the occasional game for my N64 though. I do think it'd be good to get back into though, given the ages my children are now at!
And that's me!
If you need anything else, I do have an ask me thread that I'm about to start.
 

Just read that article. Wow, absolutely shocking and disgusting behaviour from ‘Golfcart Gail’. Things like this make me incredibly sad.
Aye, gaming can be a very toxic/racist environment. Thanks for starting this thread! 🙂

I've got to wonder though, how costly it would be to get around said licensing issues.
I mean, if they want to go 'all in' on this console and do it right surely there'd have to be some content like this put in.
I know Nintendo no longer own Banjo-Kazooie either, but it'd be cool to have that as well.

Okay, so I'm starting a thread where I can post articles about the horrible racism, xenophobia and bigotry that exists in our community and we can have a frank discussion about it.
Any nationalists, supremacists, bigots on the forum (which, I doubt there are - and hope there is none) this is a zone where you too can express what a crappy human you are so we all know. 🙂

Starting with, Soccer while Black.
Lately there has been a bit of a trend of these news stories. People calling the police on Black people simply for seemingly doing nothing wrong. At all.
Like, the guy in this article was simply being a good Dad, and that's it.
This woman should be ashamed, and hopefully she can reform as a human..
‘Golfcart Gail’ calls cops on dad at his kid’s soccer game
A WHITE woman called the cops on a black father at his child’s soccer game — claiming he yelled at the referee, when he was actually just cheering on his son, according to local reports.
Two other women who were at the teen match in Ponte Vedra, Florida, over the weekend took videos and posted about the incident on Facebook — uploading images of the field marshal who called the police, showing her sitting in a blue golfcart with a phone to her ear and nicknaming her “Golfcart Gail.”
“A parent at my son’s soccer game had the police called on him for cheering for his son during the game,” posted Ginger Galore Williams, with the header “Soccer While Black.”

Alright. I still have my N64, and still play it.
So I have a list, because my N64 is getting older and more unreliable and I don't know how much longer I will be able to use it.
 
- Pokemon Stadium
- Mario Kart 64
- Mario Party
- Goldeneye
- Gauntlet Legends
- Diddy Kong Racing
- Super Mario 64
- Pokemon Snap
- NBA Courtside
- Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Zelda: Majora's Mask

There's more, but this is the base line of my happiness with it.
I'm a purist and hope they don't.
I agree about the party people thing, but party people hang in person.

I picked Toad.  I picked him a lot because I felt he was one of the faster ones since he didn't weigh that much.  The only down side to him was if you bumped into one of the bigger racers, they could knock you out of the way pretty easily.
