@1ofUs Bc I didn't have pokemon home, I needed to pay the 3 bucks.

@Anti-Matter Yeah no problem! Out of the two Mega Man X Legacy Collections, the first one is the better one. That one has the first 4 games - MMX1, X2, and X4 are actually among my favorite Mega Man games. I did like Mega Man 11 (the Double Gear system is pretty fun and I really like the boss weapons), but I did notice that the levels are kinda long. I think I would have made them a little bit shorter, especially since they can get pretty challenging.

I never played the GameCube version of Mega Man X Collection, but I have played Mega Man Anniversary Collection on the GC. It's not a very good version of that collection, since the jump and shoot buttons are literally reversed (A to shoot, B to jump). What were they thinking??? I have the PS2 versions of both collections and they're pretty good. They actually have the proper controls.

@Anti-Matter Mega Man 11 = literal garbage.

Mega Man X Legacy 2 has X 5-8 on it. 5 and 6 are okay, 7 is widely considered the worst in the series, 8 is mixed with how people like it. I personally did not like 8 because it was all about item farming instead of what the X series is normally about.

Mega Man X Legacy 1 has X 1-4 on it, all 4 of those are SOLID games, and very fun. X3 has a few bosses that are poorly designed, but for the most part is still great. If you spend money on anything, I would skip Legacy 2, and just get Legacy 1. It has the better selection of games. The problem with X5 and up is that they started to add lots of unnecessary padding to the game to make them feel longer, but in the end it was just trivial stuff that nobody really needed from an action game.

My recommendations: Mega Man X Legacy, the first one, with X1-4 on it.

The GameCube versions had very poor performance issues. Skip them. The modern versions have Rookie mode, while the Gamecube does not.

Mega Man Legacy is also excellent, the one that has the first 6 games on it. I wasn't into Legacy 2, the games were too hard, and I've been playing Mega Man for 30 years.

@Anti-Matter Mario Power Tennis is pretty good, it's arguably the best Mario Tennis game so I do recommend it. Best of luck on getting it. I'm not sure if the following meets your criteria but my best suggestions are some of the Sonic games that came out on the GameCube (Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Sonic Adventure DX, and Sonic Heroes). SA2B is my favorite of the three, and SH came out for PS2 and Xbox as well. Those are all 3D platformers and they're rated E. Donkey Konga wasn't that great, to be honest. I found it insanely easy for a rhythm game and I'd personally look...rather silly playing the game with that bongo controller it came with.

I have a couple other recommendations as well. Super Monkey Ball 2 is really good, it's kind of a 3D platformer in that there are stages to finish and bananas to collect for extra lives, though you can't jump in it. The party games are awesome, as well. I'd also recommend Kirby Air Ride if you can find it for cheap, too.

just tell them theres an idiot on a forum thats an idiot on a forum and you laugh at him

I know I'm not into sports, most "sports" I play includes Sega Superstars Tennis and the Mario & Sonic Olympics, however, did anyone else notice video game music during the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics? Immediately recognized Star Light Zone from Sonic 1.

I can't be the only one here who noticed this.

@Sunsy Yeah I immediately recognised the first song, the Dragon Quest Overture. Lovely touch, even though I couldn’t even recognise any other songs because of the announcer’s voice (on BBC, not the Olympics one).

Life update, again. @ThanosReXXX get that coffee again.

We find out who is the new department manager on Monday. Easy. We have our stock take on the August 1st. Following that, myself and the other candidate are management. No interview, no fuss. You've got it, we start after this big hassle we need to deal with first.

Yay.

I can't believe I'm watching an Olympics opening ceremony with Final Fantasy XIII music

@TheJGG @TheFrenchiestFry Yeah, it's pretty surprising. I heard Starlight Zone's music in a clip, I have Peacock and they're going to replay the ceremony tomorrow, so I'll tune in to see the other tunes tomorrow.

From the looks of it, Nintendo Life reported on it.

@Sunsy Who needs NL reporting when you have me on the job?

In all seriousness do enjoy the Olympics! Which sports are you going to watch?

@TheJGG Yup. Actually, wasn't planning to watch the Olympics, I just want to see that video game medley they played in full. Since I'm subscribed to the service, I'll give the ceremony a watch.

@TheJGG Will mainly keep track of the Olympics with the BBC montages but I will watch sports like football (mainly women's for the GB team), swimming and running - all of which I do.

@Knuckles - I’ll reply here so we don’t have an entire conversation in spoiler bars, haha. Yes, I can confirm Up+B on the title screen works on the Genesis cart as well as the eShop version of SOR3 on Wii. It is a bit touchy though, may take a couple of tries.

I didn’t know about this method until years after stumbling into the mid boss fight that unlocks Roo, so it could be possible that you need to unlock her this way before she can be unlocked and selectable from the title screen. It’s fun to start out the game with her though. As far as I know, you have to lose enough lives to use a continue, then you can select her as character if you unlock in game. Looks like the DLC is delayed until at least next week, so the wait continues.

@bimmy-lee Thanks! Having SoR4 on PC, I can say Roo is definitely fun to play as. When you do eventually get the DLC, make sure to complete a stage, otherwise you'll need to redo the title screen code.

Oh, and feel free to use more than 1 Star at a time with Roo. You'll definitely enjoy it.

I just spent like an entire hour playing the new google doodle...

It feels so much like a classic retro phone game, quite charming.

@Knuckles - Ah, so you’ve already been enjoying the dlc, good for you. Thanks for the tips! I’m not mad or conspiratorial about the delay, I know weird things can happen; I’ve just been trying to avoid spoilers since it’s out on other platforms. Truth be told, I’ve always assumed Roo was in the game or she’d be added in some way; just wanted to figure it out on my own. It’s my fault for reading the comments though.

@Sunsy
I was really scared to hear Olympic 2020 (2021) have to keep going with this pandemic situation, the terror of Delta variant of Covid virus, here in my hometown Surabaya was really serious in danger, almost 100 - 120 peoples died everyday by that damn virus.

@TheJGG
"Which sports are you going to watch?"

Boxing.
But i know the boxers wear headgear and sleeveless clothes during boxing in Olympic games, not the shirtless one.
And swimming. Looking for some shirtless athletic dudes.

Anti I think that comment might be rated M. For "manly muscles"
