How I long for the NES & SNES days.

That thing is enormous. I had no idea it was going to be so damn big. How much power does it take to even run the machine?

Don't feel stupid. I don't know what it means either, unless he's talking about Internet Service Provider. But he said IPS instead of ISP, so I'm probably way off.

The gaming world is slowing down, due to being nothing but sequels. They think that remastering a game will bring people back into it, as if it's new. There are no new franchises, no new ideas, and no risks taken. A title does well on it's first in the series, they keep making sequels until they have completely run it into the ground. Then they bring one back, remaster it, and call it new. Now if it's a series like Final Fantasy, where they all have the same name but are nothing alike, then that's different. Also Mario is an exception. Each Mario game was completely different than it's predecessor wit the exception of saving Peach from Bowser. Also it branched out into a hundred spinoffs. So far I haven't seen a Mario remaster. Because they know they don't need to. Now I do play the FF8 remaster for one reason. It's portable. I don't have to be on my TV or PC to play it. I can play it anywhere. Otherwise I would still be changing through 4 discs. I miss the days when a game was made and it was left alone afterwards.

You weren't rude. You were honest. Sometimes the truth hurts. Hell all a girl needs to get a record contract is blonde hair and at least B cup tits. Auto tune will fix her voice.

I grew up on 80's rock, and still love it to this day. I'll never quit listening to it. Everyone knows music attained perfection in 1986. It's a scientific fact.

Scandal? What did I miss this time?

I've read your posts here, but started to ignore them for one reason. Can you talk about something OTHER THAN GOING TO BED?

It works differently with Nintendo. You pay for the download, and once it's installed, that's it. There's no fail safe. And with the codes you buy, once that code is redeemed once, it's from then on invalid. Nintendo sucks on the DDL security. That's why I treat my Switch like gold. So I don't have to worry about this for as long as possible.

Digital is the future, but I'm apprehensive about it. If the system gets fucked up or something, you could lose all the games you bought. You have a fried console, and all those games are gone. Now you have to buy them all over again. It's just not something I'm the biggest fan of. Granted I have a lot of DDL's on my Switch, but if I could have gotten a physical copy of some of them I would have.

I remember Hero Quest. That game was awesome. It's similar to Dragon Strike. One of the coolest things about Dragon Strike was that it came with a really cool video.

I stand corrected. I was thinking that the controllers sliding off the console was "drifting". However, so far I haven't had to face a drifting issue with my Lite. So here's hoping that I don't end up having to face it, until a time comes when I lose all interest in my Lite and quit using it all together.

It would be interesting to hook my NES up to wifi and play some games with someone on another continent. I'd still be playing the game and keeping the nostalgia, but also doing it online. It's an intriguing concept. But being that I hate online gaming, it would most likely never happen for me.

I was part of a crew that was making games in our spare time, but since the pandemic hit, we're on hiatus. I wasn't a developer, I was called a "thinker". I have a really creative imagination, and can come up with really good ideas for a base. We would tinker with it, add in things, take out things, and when we had the game we wanted, the writing and developing crew would take over. I can come up with ideas, but I'm useless beyond that point. Hell, I still don't even know how to use Photoshop.

The Lite doesn't have that problem, because it's all one solid piece. It doesn't have removable joycons like the regular Switch. But I have used both, and that drift drove me nuts. Trying to play a game, and the controls keep running away from you is infuriating. Even though it's smaller, I still say the Lite is the superior option. All games are interchangeable between both versions of the Switch, because they're the exact same machine. The only downside to the Lite is no docking ability and it doesn't support a vibration function. Other than that, go for the Lite if you're considering buying one.

Low quality, no. Low graphics, yes. You can't really compare the 8bit SMB to RDR2 or Skyrim graphics. They're so far apart in depth and realism, that it's inappropriate IMO to try to compare them. That's just a personal opinion. In all honesty, with a few exceptions, I prefer the 8bit over everything else. I'm a classic girl, and I stick with it. Atari, NES, SNES, N64, are the greatest systems ever made. Sega wasn't bad, but it just doesn't match the others, again, IMO.

I just passed 3000 posts!

If you get Nintendo Online, you can play a lot of NES and SNES games on Switch already. And if you go month to month payment, it's only $4. The nostalgia isn't there, but if you suddenly need to play TMNT 2 while you're out somewhere, then you can until you get home and play the real thing.

I wanted to eliminate Monopoly as an option because everyone either loves it or hates it. It's too obvious a choice, and would dull the conversation. So for that reason, Monopoly is void. I've never heard of either of those games. I've heard of Chutes & Ladders, but not Snakes & Ladders. Unless you're making fun of it by tweaking the name.

I checked it out after I saw this post. I know they’re advertising it as a PC/console, but by the design alone, I just don’t get how it’s expected to work as both. If they were marketing it as a streaming device instead, then I could see it having possibility. I could be missing something vital here, but to be honest, I really don’t care. I don’t have any intentions of having it as I have no need for it. From what I have read so far, it offers nothing that I would have interest in or use for.

That’s not even all my games. I didn’t list PS2, 360, Game Cube, Wii, DS/3DS, or Game Gear. There’s a few other systems here that I don’t really play much anymore, but I can’t think of what they are at the moment. Anyway, from what I listed above, I have more Mario Kart games than anything else, so that would probably seem to be the obvious answer. But in all honesty, I kinda like F-Zero a lot. Pole Position is a lot of fun too. Grand Prix and Indy 500 have always been a great time.

When I get to gaming i play games like SMB, The Legend Of Zelda, Astyanax, Contra, A Boy And His Blob, Castlevania 1/2/3, Q*Bert, Legend Of The Mystical Ninja, Mario World, 1080 Snowboarding, Mario 64, mario Kart 64, Zelda OoT, the list goes on and on and on. And that's just games from only 3 systems. Granted they're my favorite 3, but still. I play a lot of games on my switch, but 90% of them have 16bit graphics or lower. I guess I just can't get past what I truly love no matter what I'm offered.

Yes they work. I take special care of them. But still, the NES is a 35 year old system, so it's obviously going to be moody as hell and can take a little prodding to get going. The Atari is even older as it was released in 1977 which makes it 43 years old. Yet mine all work just fine. The classics are almost the only thing I play. As you can see, I have some current gen games, but I rarely go past the N64 when I'm choosing something to play. Unless I'm wanting something wildly different with more realistic graphics. I've said a million times that I absolutely LOVE RDR2. That's not exactly 35 years old. One thing I love about Mario Odyssey, is that it incorporates parts where you play it as the original SMB setup and graphics. I was elated to see that.

Atari already released an Atari flashback several years ago when the flashback craze hit. So I seriously don't get the logic behind this one. I think it's just some bored developers trying to toy around with money they don't actually have.

It's going to flop hard. No one is going to want it. It's no different than a flashback system. Why the hell would anyone want it? It offers nothing except a new dent in your bank account. Until now I had never even heard of it. I had no knowledge of this taking place. And I bet a huge number of people, majority most likely, haven't heard about it either.
