@MarioLover92 Good to know SF 64 is worth it. I actually did beat Star Fox 2, but I admittedly used one of the easier settings IIRC. I know the original SF (as Star Fox 2 never officially released until it shipped with the SNES Classic) was pretty awesome for its time, but the graphics and overworld during missions aren't exactly easy on my eyes lol.

@NintendoByNature I noticed everything seems to be numbered for each actual story chapter, but there are a ton of sub-missions. I could describe where I'm at (guessing you're farther along than I am), but just in case I won't for the time being to avoid spoilers lol.

@Heavyarms55 Glad to hear you didn't brick the machine, especially after seeing how much you spent on it! /Phew Is it a gaming rig? What are its intended functions?

@Tyranexx Yeah, it's a gaming rig. But it's gonna be my primary PC for a good few years.

@HobbitGamer add another 100 to that. I might have over compensated a bit. My cousin helped me install it and he thinks it's a bit more power than I need.

@Heavyarms55 how would you fry a computer, i mean where you trying to do to much with it?

so nintendo edited out marios nipples.
just when i thought 2020 couldnt get any worse

@Tyranexx I don't wana spoil anything for you either! I'm about 6-8 hours in id say. So decent amount down. Read on HLTB its about a 15 hour campaign. So about halfway give or take

@Heavyarms55 Sounds like a pretty decent one! I have a coworker who built an insane rig, all for programming, video editing, and live streaming. I'm thinking of building my own down the line for some rendering and light gaming on the side. ...But that's a ways off yet.

@NintendoByNature Lol, I doubt I'm halfway through yet, partially because I've already redone a couple of sections just to get better scores...once I figured out what I needed to do. Love the writing so far, not sure what to think about the controls yet. Been playing in docked mode.

@Ninfan I had the wrong power supply. Japan is 100 but the US is 120. The old one was a Japanese supply.

@Tyranexx well it just wasn't worth the cost of shipping my 8 year old PC overseas again, so instead of getting some cheap rig that'll last 2 years tops I wanted another machine that'll last me 8+ years.

@Inkling We just want some Nintendo Games

Arlo... I don’t watch him. He appears on my suggested lots. I already watch lots of gaming channels and I don’t need a muppet one.

@ogo79
Mario's nipple will be a DLC on next 3D Mario games.

@BabyYoshi12 Arlo's become pretty annoying in recent years honestly. His Twitter posts about being butthurt about how underwhelmed he is about recent Nintendo Directs got really tiring to see and I just unfollowed him as a result. He's not afraid to tell you how much he hates anime lmao

@Tyranexx Yeah - we didn't have the original Star Fox back when the SNES was a current-gen console, so it did feel a little weird when I first played it, with its super-old-school polygonal graphics and choppy framerate. (FYI, SF64 was the first one I played) But yeah, the game looked amazing at the time, and that was released a year before DKC! I do think SF1 is a pretty good game, but SF64 is even better. It pretty much improves on everything the original game did and then some.

yeah I watched one of his vids and he is so stinking annoying. He rants about everything, makes terrible jokes, and stretches his vids so long it becomes boring. Def one of the worst gaming channels out there.

I ran across Arlo at some point, but I couldn't really stand to watch much of that channel. Not that I dislike muppets by any means (as I normally love them), but I just found it all annoying. I don't watch a lot of YouTubers in general these days.

@Heavyarms55 I totally get that thinking; building something that will last, while expensive up front, is definitely cost-effective in the long run. I don't know how many times I've tried to dissuade people from buying those cheap doorbuster laptops that often show up around the holidays. I try to give advice based on what people want to do with a system, and more often than not they don't need anything too crazy. But I also want them to get a machine that won't crap out or severely slow down in only a year or two.

@MarioLover92 From what I've read/heard, SF 64 is also basically another take on the plot of the first game. Just better lol.

Pretty much all the SNES games I had access to back in the day were platformers; we didn't own the system - it belonged to relatives, but I was over there a lot as my aunt babysat me - and there weren't a ton of games. But many of them were decent: Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars (I played these first and didn't realize until years later that the rest of the Marios after the original Super Mario Bros. were originally on the NES; they really cleaned them up!), Toy Story, and the original Donkey Kong Country were frequent staples. Then there was one of those "meh" edutainment games. Not sure if you've heard of Captain Novolin? XD

I love arlo’s channel. He’s a funny character

@Tyranexx yeah exactly. I paid a lot for my previous machine too. But I used it hard-core for 8 years. That thing had to have 10k+ hours of use over the years.

Woah, baby, this heat is a killer.

@Tyranexx That's funny - believe it or not, Super Mario All-Stars was my first exposure to SMB1-3! The SNES was the only console we had in much of the early 90s, plus by the time I was born, the SNES wasn't even close to reaching its 1-year anniversary here in the states. Back then, we had stuff like Super Mario World, Super Mario All-Stars, F-Zero, the Donkey Kong Country series, Yoshi's Island, and yes, even a few sports games (that I didn't get into, but my dad did since he was a big sports guy. lol) As for Captain Novolin, yes I've heard of it from Seanbaby and a handful of YouTube videos way back in the late 2000s. Looks like such a masterpiece, doesn't it? (Okay, I'm lying. XD) I did have a similar experience with you too, but with the Genesis instead. Loved playing the Sonic games for the first time.

So my old PC had two HDDs. Whenever I booted that thing up, between those and its fan, it was a loud boy. I just got used to it because it was a nice machine that lasted me a good solid 8 years of heavy use.

My new PC has a solid state and low sound fans and is basically silent after the little click of the power button, it's pretty cool!

im holding you to this, because if theres one thing i like
its a nice dlc
