@Spoony_Tech This happened with me and my then-new SO. I had just beaten Eternal Wings and he had gotten Origins. I tried Origins and the battle system was just off enough it threw off my entire muscle memory. Eternal Wings was just off enough it threw off his muscle memory.
At least I enjoyed the first game and he enjoyed the second, even if it felt a little wonky.
Now I just want to play them. I at least have them backed up with Dolphin.
@PLATINUM7 You and me both. I was a kid back in the 90's playing Crystal Caves and the OG Duke Nukem Platformers. I wasn't expecting to hear the name Apogee today, to say the least, but I'm damn glad to.
@VoidofLight Nocturne is a great modern SMT (it's weird saying that since it came out on PS2, but you know, Push System), but the best classic has to be Soul Hackers, especially the 3DS port.
@Jakiboy Whilst the Nerd isn't really my cup of tea, my SO enjoys AVGN, and I enjoy his more straight forward playthroughs with Mike Matei.
Thing is with the Nerd, he nailed the character first try, found a winning formula, and hasn't deviated much. He knows what people signed up to see, and he's loyal to that, even if it is stupidly over the top faux anger at bad video games. He has fun, the show is fun, and he has kept committed to it.
I think that's why he's still going after 12 years, not going to lie. He's still enthusiastic, he still plays a role the audience loves, he's got momentum to keep the show going for a long time.
Funny thing is, I'm the one who's going to get this on the Switch. I love Nintendo Hard and Kaizo levels games, but my SO doesn't lol
I actually got a better, tho still phone potato, picture of this, and it's definitely Marina, with Iris from Pokemon too! I'll have to dig up the pic later.
@Malcrash There was always the Mortal Kombat movie (the original, the sequel was trash), and I thought it was great. Just great scenery, and good music. Plot was a little on the nose (it IS Mortal Kombat), but I thought it was an alright experience overall.
Also the Sonic OVA from way back, which nailed the feeling of the games.

Re: Wait A Minute, Is That Marina From Splatoon 2 On The Xbox One Dashboard?
I actually got a better, tho still phone potato, picture of this, and it's definitely Marina, with Iris from Pokemon too! I'll have to dig up the pic later.

Re: Gallery: Cracking Open Retro-Bit's "New" Old NES And SNES Games
I love living in California (small town USA here), but it's California. I'm sure we're convinced breathing the air will give you cancer.
It's likely due to lead solder, or some other nonsense, that really shouldn't be an issue. Just my state being silly.
(What's weird is that we're perfectly willing to overlook the number 1 cancer pollutant in the state so LA can have their cheap water. Just saying.)
