@Frailbay30 I'm not a meteoritic person, all I saw were a ton of 10/10s from respected websites. I was stoked and picked it up and was massively disappointed. It just felt like a ham fisted mash up of other better games. Still id say its a sold 7/10 definitely worth playing, not GOTY material. RE was also fine not amazing. I'd say Metroid was hands down the best game of the year with MHR behind it, but I'd put It takes two behind them. Tied with R&C and Psychonuats 2

it takes two is a fine game. I think the gameplay was comparable to the best 3d platformers around (sans Mario of corse) but I'm pretty sure it won GOTY because people think "Great story= Great game" This is a trend that has been around for a while now and I'm not super into it. Sure some games are so incredibly and overwhelmingly great that they are massively praised even without much of a story (I'm looking at you BOTW) but most of the time people say thing like "Have you played uncharted? That game was so good. it was like watching a movie!"

Oh well. At very least I'm glad it won over the much more over rated games nominated like RE and Deathloop.

missed an opportunity to play the season 3-11 intro of Garfield and friends

"We're ready to party! come on in come to the place where fun never ends. Come on in its time to party with Garfield and friends"

I did the D-pad mod myself a few years ago to my first joy cons and I have to say...its not great. it simply DOESNT feel like a normal D-pad because the joy con isn't designed around it. I ended up. picking up the Hori left joy con that had a D-pad and it was a night and day difference. Still this is nice stuff

@Thelastjedi2007 definitely

@Vexx234 Thanks bro. Most people would have held it against me. It's true what they say, some heroes don't wear capes.

@Vexx234 my mistake. I forgot having an opinion on the internet makes me wrong 100% of the time. I take my statement back. Please carry on.

@Vexx234 Minish cap is amazing.

@Serialsid

We actually own all three. I've been playing more switch then anything. Metroid, Pokemon, Monster hunter rise, Mario Golf, and smash DLC took most of my year up.

As for the games you mentioned. I'd put Psychonuats 2 over them all easy, but i guess that's a to each his own thing.

@Serialsid as someone who owns them both I disagree completely. From a specs point of view the XSX is far stronger than the ps5 and it does just about everything better. This is coming from a life long Sony fanboy. ( I literally own multiple copies of every iteration of every Sony console) Maybe its because this is only my 3rd xbox system but I really feel like its "next gen" when I play as apposed to feeling like a ratchet and clank machine.

@arrmixer sure thing. If it's great or of it's crap (or somewhere in between) I'll post my view here.

@rockodoodle yup all these retro portable devices in 1080p on the go using FPGA. It honestly sounds to good to be true. I guess I'll find out when I get mine. I just got the email today saying it's shipping the 14th.

no shame in coming in second to demon slayer in Japan. they love that anime/manga. I think its the only book to ever outsell one piece (6months worth of sales) in the last 15 years

@Techno19 yes but you'll have to get used to old school MH, as in making potions out of herbs and mushrooms and everything loading ever 10 seconds ect.

It DEFINITELY is packed with way more content then rise had

I would love this. I honestly think they are nintendos most neglected systems (which is mad considering that nintendo held itself up on its handhelds for so long and its somewhat still doing so with the switch)

I know people are very happy about N64, but i always felt like it was so week when it comes to games. yes there are 20 or 30 great N64 games, but that's about it and half of them are licensing nightmares' (see; the wrestling games, Goldeneye, Beatle adventure racing, ect.) so i was really pulling for gameboy/gbc/gba. Its just easier to emulate correctly too.

Yuck its Nintendo Prime, please don't give this guy free publicity he's a racist and an overall jerk

honestly I would have preferred Gameboy/Gameboy color/ Gameboy advance.

besides the N64 games listed there are few titles left that they can even get. (the wrestling games for example aren't coming as they are licensing nightmares, same goes for sports and movie games like goldeneye) I can think of 5 or 6 other games worth playing on the system and that's about it.

@BloodNinja that's honestly perfectly fine. The fact that we have choices is the best thing about new retro gaming items.

@BloodNinja yes it's FPGA. and the chip they are using is powerful enough to play GBA perfectly, so I assume if it's hacked it can do the same for just about anything retro (as in 2D retro, not PS1 or above) I know that at very least GB,GBC, GBA,GG, NGPC, and TG16 are supported out if the box (with adapters for carts that you have to pay extra for)

@BloodNinja the analog pocket. You mentioned that you can just emulate these gems on PC, which is completely true. I was just trying to say that the whole point of this is that it ISN'T emulation.

Just to be clear I'm not saying there is anything wrong with emulation as I also use emulation on my phone and PC, I'm just the kind of guy who wants to play things the best way possible and this is more then likely the case for this product.

@Twice4Life DS doesn't play on a TV at 1080p. this device also plays game gear, Neo geo pocket color and TG16.

@BloodNinja its not emulation. I have every single gameboy game on my phone and a high quality controller to play them, but I still ordered this.

@Curbie you can use 8bitdo controllers to play on the TV with the dock. it also upscales to 1080p so yeah if you want to play gb,gba,gbc on a tv this will be the best way. Not to mention it'll also play NGPC,GG, and TG16. so I'd say its still worth it.

that being said you have a point about the control as far as handheld use.

@LinkSword I agree 100%

First post on this site but,

I love DQ and I wacthed this stream praying we would get something akin to a re-master of 3. I never dreamed it would look so good. The HD - 2D style works even better for DQ because of the amazing colors and Akira toriyama art style.
