Russel Coight Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I’ve been mainly playing Spider-Man and Xenoblade chronicles 2 torna expansion pack. Loving them both. Ive set up my switch with homebrew now and it’s the ultimate emulation machine. SNES, NES and GBA all work flawlessly and ps1 has 95% of all games running perfectly. Can’t wait for portable GameCube games to be available at a decent speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2point5 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Finished Mario Galaxy this morning so I’m gonna pop out and buy a SNES classic today. Gonna hack it so I can play some SMW rom hacks I’ve been desperate to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 PlayStation Classic announced. 20 Classic games on a mini PlayStation. And yes, it’s actually called “PlayStation Classic.” Not sure if I’m excited yet, because they haven’t announced the complete list of games yet and there are only a few I’d really want to play. Also the AC adaptor is sold separately for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t the SNES and nes mini do this as well? The worst was the new 3ds didn’t come with a charger or cord at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 It’s also going to be great if the rumoured n64 mini comes out next year as well and we have PlayStation 1 and Nintendo 64 as competing consoles in 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 20, 2018 Report Share Posted September 20, 2018 Yeah mine did too. But I bought a 12 ft HDMI cable to comfortably play them from my couch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently a few hours into Super Metroid. Really enjoying it so far. Just got to the Wrecked Ship so I think I still have a ways to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 23, 2018 Report Share Posted September 23, 2018 I got to play Super Smash Bros Ultimate today (err, yesterday... Saturday). Nintendo came to the University of Oregon football game and had a bunch of TVs set up with demos of the game. I got to play two rounds. I tried Ridley. It was fun! Not enough time to get a real feel for the game, especially since I was playing with the Switch Pro Controller which I had never held before. It felt like Smash Bros, i dunno what else to say. But it was a good time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltdown Tracker Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Just beat Super Metroid and Donkey Kong Country. DKC hasn't aged quite as well as I would have expected - it was my favourite SNES game growing up, but the game's design isn't as good as I remember it. Too many frustrating and cheap levels. Near the end, the game basically trolls you with all the bullshit it throws at you - especially the last part of the last level before King K Rool. Just started up Donkey Kong Country 2 which is surprisingly a huge upgrade - the soundtrack, the gameplay, the map design, and the additional bonus stages/animal companions/etc... I didn't remember the gap being this big between games. Planning on playing through the whole trilogy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's weird to think back on DKC and think "wow, this is 3D". Because it felt like that. That and Star Fox were such mind blowing experiences Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and Star Fox were such mind blowing experiences Yeah, I remember that blowing me away at the time. DKC 2 and 3 had beautiful backdrops that really added to the immersion as well. I think Super Mario RPG was the first game on SNES to really accomplish the 3D element and nail it. I remember Mortal Kombat also impressed me because I don't think I had ever seen real life people used as sprites before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 My mom picked out this game for me once cause she said the clerk at video stereo there said it was good. It blew my freakin' mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the first two a few years ago, and then a few weeks ago I played through 3 for the first time, and then DKC Returns on Wii. 3 was fun but not quite as good as 2. Returns was fun but was super different. Hard to compare it really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also recall it being the most difficult - the prickle bush levels with Squawks the Parrot gave me a lot of grief as a kid, as well as needing to pay 2 coins to save the game which seems a bit harsh. DKC 3 was great for world building and it was fun that they added elements outside of the levels, like exploration with the different vehicles you get. I never completed the 'hidden' worlds in DKC 2 and 3 as a kid, though - the ones that you unlock by getting the necessary coins. I'm looking forward to trying to beat those now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think 2 was the most difficult. I never actually did the hidden worlds either. I should try for those one of these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
