Re: Video: Why Do We Buy And Collect Retro Video Games?

LordVal

I collected a lot different Consoles and Games. Then I sold every disc based System (except the GameCube) and after that some handheld and cartridge based systems. Sometimes I miss my Lightgun Collection, NeoGeo Collection or my Virtual Boy Collection, but for the rest: I'm absolute happy about so much space in my house and I reinvested the money in a 4 Player Cabinet, which grants me the best Buddy-nights since the 2000s. Still have more space left for other things (eg a Beamer) than ever before. I still own every Nintendo Console (except the Virtual Boy), the 360, PS3 and the Vita.

Re: SturmFront - The Mutant War: Übel Edition Will Shred Up the Switch Soon

LordVal

Yeah! Siegfried the Frontstürmer in an übel geile Edition! Sex sells, Nazis sells, Violence sells,....
Btw: Hard to find someone in 1984 who's name is Siegfried von Hammerstein or Dr. Hartmuth Griesgram.

But maybe just the German Nazis made everything that sounds German sounds Nazi as well. How about Grünkohlsuppe or Hatschi or Rasenmäher. Just let it sound "nazi" by screaming it and roll the R's like a champion.

@sketchturner I'm using the D-Pad. That's why I tried my 8BitDo Pads, but it doesn't change a thing. The D-Pad on the Switch lite must be very accurate. That was a good tip. I tried the Hori Split Pad Pro and it works much better. I don't like to play the Switch in Handheld, but I think I make an exception this time.

@GregamanX I never wrote that you cannot change it. Of course you can run by hitting ZR, that's my point, but you have to hit ZR again and again and again - you can not just hold it to run. Because when you touch anything or change from left to right you stop running. It's not a Super-Mario-always-run-button-thingy.

@sketchturner down+attack doesn't work fluently. Therefore I bought a 8bitdo Saturn/Genesis6Button Controller, but it doesn't helped much. The other problem for me ist the run-button, because you have to press it again after changing the sides or touching anything. Should be Run always if you press ZR.

Re: Random: This Tragic Tale Proves You Should Never Assume Your Parents Will Store Your Gaming Crap Forever

LordVal

In my case it was a flood at my parents basement, which destroyed most of my videogame and Comic Book Collections in 2009. Collections I started at the age of 8 from 1986-2007. I used their basement, because ai had none at this time. Just parts of my Nintendo, Dreamcast, PC Engine and NeoGeo Collections survived. From there on everything is stored in floodproved boxes.

Re: Where To Buy Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros.

LordVal

Bought it and sent it back.
The packaging is great, but the rest...
Where to buy? Right now I see it everywhere. No reason to be scalped. Maybe we will see it at a 30$ pricetag next year. It's a typical dust catcher and non-seller.

Ni No Kuni was on sale and I was always interested in this one. Played the whole night and didn't find a reason to go to sleep. I'm very impressed by this game and it's so much fun.
I was about to buy Hyrule Warriors because it looks awesome, but I'm so glad about the demo - it's just bad and boring. Same with Pikmin. I'm so happy about demos. I was able to avoid ***** games so many times. I think 95% of all demos I've ever played kept me from buying.

Re: "Nintendo Isn't That Smart": Pachter Says Nintendo Should Scrap Switch And 'Only Have Switch Lite'

LordVal

"I think..." that says everything. The Switch sold more than the Switch Lite and most of the Switch Owners play their Switch docked and I, personally, had never so much fun playing videogames, just because I can play the same games everywhere I want AND at home on my kickass big Television!
Nintendo should focus more on bigger and better Joycons, a 4K Solution and Folders!!
