@Snatcher The only one I did not play was Origins Blackgate. But it is a weird side scroller game and I am not fond of the idea.

@Zuljaras Wasn’t that the 3ds game?

@Snatcher It was on 3DS and Vita but now it is on everything.

@Tyranexx Yeah, kind of crazy how I can remember it. I've used it so much throughout my childhood, I just remember the Mac we had. Even after we got a Windows PC, the old Mac went into my room, and I would just use it to play with. Like draw or play an older Mac game.

My first Elementary school had an Apple II computer, I remember playing Word Munchers on it. Cool, the most Mac computers years ago was at a local church. I mostly run into Windows PCs more nowadays, and my mother has a Chromebook.

@Anti-Matter Haven't watched Disney Channel in years. By the time Phineas and Ferb ended, I was mostly watching streaming because it was cheaper than cable. On Disney+ I did start watching The Ghost and Molly McGee and Alice's Wonderland Bakery (this one's cute), before that, it was Sofia the First on Netflix (assuming Disney Junior is still a block on Disney Channel, I don't know).

Yeah, the few Disney shows I watched was limited to streaming options, and Disney+ is new to me since I just got it within the past month or so.

@Sunsy Yes Disney Jr still is a block but I think they renamed (I had it as a channel)

@Anti-Matter That's cool. I do want to wait for the games I want to go on sale before I get them. I'd imagine the next eShop sale would be coming this summer.

@Sunsy I remember getting EarthBound when it came out on the Wii U eShop, and I actually made some really good progress in it. I'm currently waiting for a sale too, particularly for the games that are currently on my Switch eShop wish list. I'll miss the themes too, though I pretty much have the ones I want for my 3DS. I'm still waiting for themes to come out on Switch, though knowing Nintendo, I don't think those will be coming out anytime soon. I could see them as a reward for NSO members though.

That's great to hear. I'm not super into TV shows myself, but I do watch anime on occasion so that's where my preferences typically land when it comes to shows.

@Tyranexx Oh that's cool, I've heard of those two plenty of times over the years. I did play a bit of Lost Planet when I had my 360, from what I could remember it was an all right game. I did have Sonic 06 as well...and we all know how that game turned out. lol

Cool - Rosalina has quite a lot of depth and backstory for a Mario character for sure, wouldn't mind seeing spin-off platformer games that star her. I agree for sure, all of 3D World's playable characters look adorable as cats. I love how they meow when you finish a level with them, too!

@reporterdavid I did like Flipnote Studio as well, when that came out on the DSi. I didn't really make any animations myself but I would see others' works online.

Huh, my primary school certainly didn't have any computers while I was there, @Sunsy .... Secondary school managed to have a few BBC micros but us kids weren't allowed to use them, lol
Mum had to use some computer for some of her work but no idea which, sadly & the 1st PC I had was a Spectrum ZX + 2

My favourite movie pistola superior

superior pistol

@Eel лучшее оружие

There's no such thing as a bad idea (except dropping an anvil on your head)
The joke was Top Gun

LOL

@Kermit1 это ганбрелла

@Kermit1 Ok, didn't know it still was. Last promotional stuff I've seen for it seems to treat it like it's its own channel. Again, I mostly watch Disney stuff via streaming, and remember when it was called Playhouse Disney when I use to have cable.

Though, Sofia the First and Alice's Wonderland Bakery are the only shows I've watched from the block (albeit via streaming). I like the nods both series make to classic Disney, Sofia being the princess movies, and Alice being Alice in Wonderland.

@MarioLover92 I have it on my Wii U too, I was thinking of having it on New 3DS too. Yeah, I figure with sales make the most of the cards, I still have a handful of games on my wishlist and like to get them on sale if possible. Yeah, I like themes, they're fun. It helped make the 3DS feel more personal.

Anime is always a good time. Even though I tend to enjoy slice of life anime the most.

@BruceCM Wow, never heard of a school without computers. The first elementary school had Apple IIe computers, after moving, the next elementary school had Macs, then middle school on, it was Windows PCs.

@Sunsy Playhouse Disney, now that's something I have not heard talked about in a long time.

yay my pfp is now showing on the forum board thing

@Anti-Matter I've heard of many of those games; the Kinect was Microsoft's answer to the Wii at the time. I can't speak to the Xbox 360's version of Zoo Tycoon, but I absolutely loved that series on PC back in the day. I spent countless hours on both Zoo Tycoon and Zoo Tycoon 2 + their expansions.

@Kermit1 Congrats on picking up Okami HD! I loved the Wii version enough to 100% it. As for tips....I recommend experimenting with the different weapons and buying/learning certain combos to farm demon fangs easier. They're very useful in the game. Brush powers are quite fun to use too, though on occasion (reminder I've only played the Wii version) a different power is activated than what you want.

@BruceCM What I have now is a heck of an improvement over my old ISP, and even better than what my parents get....They have broadband, but they live at the end of an oversold line where it's hard for them to do much of anything during high traffic hours.

@reporterdavid That question is better suited to Ubisoft lol. I think with the AC III and Black Flag/Rogue collections, a lot of the work was already done. As for the Ezio Collection, those are likely mostly based on how popular Ezio is to series fans. I'm as confused as you as to why the first game hasn't migrated over yet, but maybe it's only a matter of time? I know it's fairly clunky compared to later entries.

@Sunsy Crazy how familiarity of something imprints into our brains, especially in childhood. We always had Windows machines in the house I grew up in, from Windows 95 on up. The record holder was the Windows XP machine; that lasted ten years!

For a multitude of reasons that range from business decisions to gaming, I much prefer Windows and Linux machines. I'm not the biggest fan of Apple, Inc.

@MarioLover92 I've heard of the Lost Planet series; that one definitely has its fans and haters. Can't say I've played Sonic '06 either, but I'm quite familiar with how infamous it is lol. I think you've hit on why I like Rosalina so much: the depth of her character. The first Super Mario Galaxy laid out her origin and motivations pretty well. I love the cat suits in SM3DW, but I might be biased towards cats in general. XD Though I like most animals.

@Tyranexx Okay, I'm going to start it once I get ace attorney 1 finished (which is tonight)

I got Norton VPN and I can't find out how to watch stuff in other countries, (or I'm dumb, or VPN's don't work like how I think they do) I've looked up how, it just doesn't work oddly. I even turned on split tunnelling.
