Female nudity
Open drug use

'Merica, buddy!

I didn't know about the one that burrowed into its enemies' central nervous system and took control. Bruuuutal duuuude

Time to put on the cassette of KISS Smashes. Thrashes & Hits and fast forward it to Paul Stanley laying it down:

🎵 Oh, no! Tears are fall-iiiiiiing! 🎵

We've been chasing "graphics" for over 20 years and still haven't surpassed the gameplay quality of an N64 title.

They pulled a Fire Pro Wrestling World! They got bogged down in the next-gen space race for a retro-style game.

Chunky sprites and polygons are a good thing. Embrace the chunkiness!

The title belt for Best Game Gear Representation stays around the waist of M2's Aleste Collection. A true Gem.

• Would you like more LSD, Dewey?
• Yeah, I think I might!

I was hoping Castle Town and some of the other ruined settlements would be rebuilt, but I guess that comes in Part 3.

Maybe they moved the focus tests into retirement homes and church youth centers and saw that it was extremely popular.

Grimdark lighthearted deeply emotional deckbuilding steampunk monster catching farm simulator with rogue- and souls-like elements and a pettable dog.

Go Team Violynne!

There's nothing on the NA site that says what it's made of. If it's metal then the shipping cost is slightly more worth it.

If you put a tattered t-shirt and jeans on Dessicated Ganondorf, you get Eddie from the first three Iron Maiden records. Does that make Zelda Margaret Thatcher?

I held off on Triangle Strategy and Live A Live waiting for a price drop that never came.

That part in Expendables 1 where Jet Li leads Dolph Lundgren into the Low Clearance area to do battle...

Strong Pimp Hand Link will lay the smack down on evil and darkness in just a few days.....

Melia was the first that came to mind.

Surprised no one has said anything about it being a roguelike.

The verse lyrics to Warrant Cherry Pie come to mind.

SWING IT

Last I was aware, Peter Jackson bought the movie rights to the Metroid franchise back in the Prime days. That is a very distant and hazy memory, however. I could be wrong.

No Sega CD or 3DO from the company who was so fixated on FMV just a short while ago.

Likely a welcome change from the "Modern Heavy Metal" style that shoehorns down-tuning and bro-core breakdowns into Green Hill Zone.

But at the same time, a sound guy at a concert I played a few weeks back had 8-Bit Big Band blasting through the PA.

The skill on display can't be denied, but good lord, they play it so safe it becomes dull and lifeless. Needless to say, it's not the best way to get pumped up to deliver an intense drum performance.

I had to respectfully request to hijack the tune-age and put on Racer X Street Lethal instead. Can confirm: it got me more pumped.

While drinking Old Style, working on his late-70s Trans Am and listening to Whitesnake Here I Go Again.

Awesome tagline!! That's a really good song from waaaay back in The Before Time, in the Long, Long Ago.

Xiaomei and Donut Dodo were on my radar, but not Blue Rider. Looks decent!

It's wild how the 'retro aesthetic" has moved on from pixels and polygons straight into the early-2000s Flash browser games.

But I guess that's what the current college grads grew up playing. I'm now officially an Old Man yelling at The Cloud. Inter-what?!?!

Whoa yeah! One more black t-shirt to add to the collection.

New one is awesome, but he's got a case of Stubby Legs. Is he a Zora this time around?

@KingMike

That is extremely badass!

@KingMike

You're correct! Didn't realize this was a situation where the JP version is more rare and expensive than the US version. Good catch!

@-wc-

Just an observation based on the Mario and Zelda ones both releasing during the 35-year celebration.

"Heartwarming story about friends and enemies joining forces to kill God" takes care of a sizeable chunk of the JRPG realm. Never change..

3D Switch 2
or 3DS-2 for short

I still get stock notifications for the Divine Edition. I'll pick it up if it goes down to the $60-80 range.

Still hoping we eventually get Three Houses Part Two. I want to see how all of the characters look when they're Even More Grizzled.

I would guess that Mobile helped Mario Kart, hurt Fire Emblem, and had zero effect on Pikmin.

I was watching a lot of MeTV when I played through this one. The standard Battle Theme and the openings for MASH and Hogan's Heroes have all merged into a single song in my head.

January through March were all about The Flute.

The Game & Watch comes at 35, so we have some time to wait.

I just hope Pinball Land is on it.

Team UK beats Team Rest-of-World

Computer workspaces in the 80s weren't very well lit, it seems.

Dang it, LRG, just give us Ninja Five-0 already

Hahaha this is great! Yarn Poochy or GTFO!!

Bring back Winter and Summer CES in the US and Space World in Japan!

Maybe he's like Lil Jon on Chappelle's Show.

All "YEAHH" and "OKAAY" when the cameras are rolling, but otherwise very eloquent and well-spoken.

Picked up Final Fight 3 on 3DS and Axelay on Wii U. I can't imagine these two coming to Switch anytime soon.

Our local arcade had Shadow over Mystara. It was around the time the Capcom Belt Scroller Collection came out and it was badass!

Checked their Wikipedia page, saw Parodius 1 and Space Manbow, and shrieked like a girl.

Found the SFC version in the wild a couple years ago at a place called The Game Room in Charleston, SC. Great place! Tons of imported stuff.

Ice Planet 2002 and Space Police tracks would rule!
