My ds phat still goes and a friend gifted me an absolutely mint condition ds lite maybe 4 years ago and it works great and probably still has a charge. I played chrono trigger for the first time on that ds lite and it was wonderful

Got red for Christmas 98 with a neon green gameboy colour. Can’t vote for any other gen

Winners I voted for were chandelure and mimikyu, between the two I voted mimikyu

Grass chicken! I also like to hold off on seeing the evos if I can.

Grass chicken!

My favourite is my gold Link between worlds 3ds xl. I never upgraded to a “new” model since I went from the og 3ds to that special edition. Love that system

I bought a snowboard kids toque from fan gamer and I love it so much.

Bellibolt for me, mabostiff and ceruledge honourable mention

It’s tempting but my gba copy of leaf green is still perfect and good enough for me (and still cib). Especially playing it on my basically matching jungle green analogue pocket.

@PushMyGran86 my ps5 is also gathering dust. My year in review or whatever for 2025 was 24 hours played and it was all rock band 4 cause of the delist so I bought it for the first time and went and got all my plastic instruments from home. Meanwhile switch family got some like 600 hours of playtime or something. One day a game will draw me back to ps5. (I bought the thing for hogwarts legacy basically)

@KingMike the NA/EU also says gameboy twice, or is the sarcasm directed at the fact NA/eu GAMEBOY is so big on the side? And smaller for the Japan cover. I’m missing something in this joke lol.

Went with Japan. Love the hand drawn art in that one

Oh don’t let me forget about galarian wheezing and grapploct too!

Voted toxtricity, but this one is hard. Easily could have been rillaboom, galarian obstagoon, hmmmm seems to be a band theme going. Not picking rillaboom was hard as someone who plays drums. Oh but also dragapult

Still working on unicorn overlord, and some Pokemon y on the side. Got some games in the mail from VGP, hundred line and Pokemon moon, so excited for those but won’t start them yet. The xenoblade x resurgence in popularity is awesome to see but I finished it on my switch 2 already and don’t need to check back in just yet

Mimikyu, but next up would be bewear and decidueye. I just got a physical copy of moon for msrp in the mail. Pretty happy about that.

This is cool, but I don’t need to pick it up as I still have my gba copy and play it regularly

Wow amazing birthday surprise! Hope the rest of the xenoblades get an upgrade too. This is so sick

Chandelure also litwick

Holy crap I didn’t realise how much I adore gen 4 till this list. Gastrodon! Bidoof honourable mention

Anyone know if local multiplayer is played split screen or full screen? Or if there is a setting or option for both?

Ludicolo and then maybe glalie

Togepi. Just loved it so much as a kid. If I could vote for three, those legendary dawgs for sure. Honourable mention to houndoom and delibird. Delibird sits on top of my Christmas tree every year

Ugh and Tangela and gloom

Oh boy how do you pick one?? Ok favourites are; bulbasaur, gengar, Alakazam, drowzee and hypno, clefable (who absolutely smacks hard in Pokemon red early game), dragonite, jolteon and like probably more that are endearing and awesome. Honourable mention goes to snorlax. Now how do I pick?? I think gen 2 I would go with togepi tho, I was obsessive when I first saw togepi.

Unicorn overlord has been absolutely fantastic. Put a solid effort into it yesterday and pushed further into drakenhold and did a bunch of the side quests for cornia. Once my partner was home from work we played some Mario kart world, and he’s starting to keep up with me and even beats me occasionally which is like a massive accomplishment in gaming for him, and is just lovely to see. Might spend some more time with ball x pit, Scott pilgrim, or Pokemon y on the side. But I also need to snowboard and play some drums in there too. Good luck to us all

@HingryHuppo happy to hear you’ve at least enjoyed some of it. Bananza being short tho? Took me over 40 hours to complete and I barely dabbled with the post game stuff. I did try and get as many bananas as I could during my playthrough but man I still have so many left to 100% the game

My fingers are tightly crossed that I may receive one on my birthday on the 19th! Otherwise I’ll just buy it myself later haha

@HingryHuppo Mario kart world was the only reason I needed. And then I got to play bananza and air riders too

This is the first and only metal gear I played and I loved it, ooops. Guess I should get the first collection. Same with Devil may cry 4 on ps3. Still thought that was cool too. Sometimes it’s not realistic to play a whole series front to back and that’s ok

@ROMhaiku yea definitely kind of a hot take that I didn’t really need to slide in there. I agree that using cinematic to blanket both together doesn’t make complete sense. MGS4 being ‘cutscene’, but GoW being cinematic in the sense of big lord of the rings feeling environmental shots and showcasing the beauty beyond just being a tightly controlled action game. My bias towards ps3 is bleeding out here too. That jump in gaming had me absolutely gob smacked, and then when ps4 came around I never felt the need to get one and didn’t until 2020. PS3 is still my favourite PlayStation

MGS4 absolutely blew me away when I played it on ps3 at release. I loved how cinematic it was, which is funny because I got so tired of god of war (ps4) because of how cinematic it was lol. My parents got mad at me so much because I wouldn’t “shut off my game” because I was stuck finishing a cut scene that would go for so long. I still have my ps3 copy so I might not get this. Too bad the online part won’t be there that was awesome too and sunk so many hours into it after beating the game. The only military themed online game I’ve ever been into, and I guess killzone 2

@Zeeba I’m still very early in the game, like 10 hours, but it’s absolutely gorgeous and the battle system is cool. Just classic vanillaware really. Highly recommend bringing it out of the backlog when you have the chance. 13 sentinels too

I just ordered a physical copy yesterday. This kinda has me nervous haha but I’ve heard such good things. Will probably start it once I’m finished with unicorn overlord.

@foofightingjohn this is a great question! The split screen drove me nuts in aces. If it does let you play multiplayer on one screen I would definitely sell aces and get this

I have a gengar and mew time magazine, from recently but I can’t remember why they made those ones, and all the articles in it are pretty great with awesome photos from the 90’s. brings me back. I’m not at home so I can’t check why those ones got made. Pikachu was also one of the other covers available

The release date announcement for Scott Pilgrim ex got me excited so started playing the first game again. Started a Wallace run and I’m almost through. Defeated all the evil ex’s and nega Scott, on to Gideon. Unicorn overlord is my main course tho and it’s so gorgeous, and then ball x pit runs between everything else, already unlocked the new dlc buildings and characters. Voted for switch version but definitely playing switch 2 edition

Day 1 ish let’s go

That’s sad, sands of time is incredible and probably one of the only games my older brother and I both beat and played save files at the same time. We would help each other with puzzles and what not. Amazing game and a good memory for me. I liked warrior within too, the edginess really resonated with me as a teenager lol. The 2008 game was the next I played and completed and loved that it was beautiful. And lost crown is in my backlog but excited about it based on the community here saying good things. Man I would take the prince over assassins creed everytime, u kinda suck ubi

Amazing game! Been chipping away at ng+. Will 1000% check in for the new content

The dlc totally sucked me back in

Voted Japan. I don’t understand the “it’s better if it shows more characters from the game” or “this cover better shows me what gameplay is actually like”. Things don’t need to be so literal for me personally.

I love new Vegas so much please be true. I loved it so much my ps3 phat stopped loving me (I played it so long and consistently it fried my console on 2 separate occasions)

@Anti-Matter Let’s change the future 🤝

@ChromaticDracula that adventure time game rules! It released on ds and 3ds, for some reason I went with the ds copy. I’ve been meaning to dig it out of stuff still in my parents attic, but still have not. I really want to replay it. Also, “hey ice king why’d you steal our garbage” is an amazing title

Honestly it looks kinda bad the proper way. Like the indent is too long, and then as people mentioned it over hangs. The indent looks better when centred if only the piece was flush to the left side of the cart while centred. I just built mine last week, got it for Christmas. Absolutely loved the build, but now the cartridges bug me cause of this article lol. Oh and I totally put them on centred

The European cover is pretty cool to me so voted for it. Did box art brawls actually start in 2019? I’m more shocked that I’ve possibly been around for them all. It’s one of my favourite things on a Sunday. One day I’ll play a resi game I swear

I just got a copy of air riders for 69 bucks this weekend. Road tripped to see family this past weekend and stopped at a eb games along the way and they had it on sale. Same with all the amiibo for the game but didn’t buy one (I wanted to buy withheld). For reference that’s Canadian dollars. It retails for 99, so I was prettty happy to find it on sale woooo

Incredible game, just like its 3ds predecessor. I’ve gone back to it after completing the story to play the dlc. Fully obsessed again.

Been playing digimon cyber sleuth but might drop it for this dlc. I finished the story but have definitely not maxed out my lives or finished ginomorsia. I’m pretty keen for this, cyber sleuth has been kind of a chore
