I still miss my entire collection of Nintendo Powers I had going from the Mega Man II issue till the mid 90s. A few times I have almost bought a stack on Ebay.
Most of the NES games I enjoyed have been re-released in one form or another. Either through an online service like NSO or compilations discs like the Cowabunga Collection so those are my main ways of playing them. I eventually want to get an FPGA Clone like the AVS since I dont have a way to hook up my NES to a modern TV.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Finished the main story the other day so I will be starting the DLC this weekend. First up is the Handsome Jackpot DLC. Currently I am rocking a level 56 Siren.
Castlevanis: Symphony of the Night (Series X) Time for my yearly replay of this classic game. And no better time then the month of October.
Silent Hill F (Series X) Been looking forward to this game since I have always enjoyed the SH series. This ks another game I am looking forward to finishing this Halloween season.
Borderlands 3 (Xbox Series X) Still chipping away at this one. I finished up Carinavore and rescued Tannis. Loved the whole Mad Max feeling of Carinavore and loved the nod to Penn and Teller. Now I am getting ready to got after the Calypso Twins Hideout.
@Tyranexx If you have an Xbox Series X or S or even PC Gamepass its on Gamepass so you can try it there.
With that said I loved Hades and I am not big on rogue games. I will probably try this one out on Steam and get it on Xbox when its comes out for that since I have the first one on Xbox.
I didnt even know this show was still going on. I remember my Grandmother watching this everyday. Its one reason I had my Gameboy when I went to visit her lol.
Congratulations. I remember the feeling when I finally beat SMB on the NES. I remember finishing it and my brother and I were so relieved that it wasn't a Toad at then end of 8-4. I dont think I have finished it since but then again my platforming skills arent what they use to be.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Trying to finish this game up so I can start Borderlands 4. I am currently working my way through Eden-6 with my level 33 Siren.
Suikoden 2 (Series X) Looking to get some time in this one. I will admit I slowed down on it a bit since my main focus has been Borderlands 3, but I am looking to change that this weekend.
Voted for the NA one. I remember seeing that cover at my local Blockbuster on the rack with other games and in magazines. Due to the cover I had no idea what it was so I based it by. I thought it was a game something like Fallout where you play that woman in a post apocalyptic setting trying to find out who put that tattoo on you.
I prefer NA but the nostalgia factor hits me hard. I remember spotting this game at my local Gamestop at the end of the SNES Era where they were making room for the N64 stuff. Got it for $5 from their clearance rack.
Nothing for me really this weekend as I am going to an Anime Convention in my home town all weekend long so I will be busy. If I do get time I want to start Suikoden II but I dont think I will.
@Zuljaras Mortal Kombat II on the SNES was my favorite as a kid growing up. So many matched between my brother, and friends. Still a banger these days but still has alot of the old school things going on with it, but that's part of the charm.
The whole reason I got a Nintendo DS. I finished Aria of Sorrow on GBA and loved it. Found out that there was a sequel to it on DS so on my lunch break at work I went next door to a Gamestop and picked up Dawn and an original DS.
It surprised me that we never got an arcade game of He-Man in the late 80s early 90s like we did TMNT or The Simpsons. Then again maybe by that time He-Man wasn't as bit anymore.
Suikoden (Series X) Well I have one more person to recruit and then I will be putting this one to bed. I really enjoyed my time with Suikoden and it still is one of my favorite RPGs of all time.
Battlefield 6 Beta (Series X) I am really enjoying my time with this one in honesty I haven't enjoyed a FPS game like this in a long time and best of all not Bevis and Butthead, or unicorn fart gun in site.
TMNT Shredder's Revenge (Series X) In honor of the 35th anniversary of the release of the first movie I decided to play some Shredder's Revenge. Mostly leveling up a few characters and achievement hunting. Still a fantastic game.
@The-Chosen-one Not sure about on Switch, but Xbox 360, PS3, PS4, Xbox One all have split screen on Borderland 1, 2, 3, Pre-Sequel and if you count it as a borderlands game Tiny Tina's Wonderland on PS5 Series X does.
Got a few things that I will be playing this weekend.
Suikoden (Series X) Just took down two more of the Empire's generals and now I am preparing to take on Neclord.
Battlefield 6 Beta (Series X) Been looking forward to this, its been sometime since we had a proper military FPS multiplayer game that's not trying to be Fortnite's creepy uncle.
Madden 25 (Series X) With the NFL preseason starting its been making me want to get back to my career in Madden 25.
I think that about wraps it up for me this weekend.
This is hilarious. Nintendo gets caught stealing someone's artwork yet if it happened to them they would be breaking down the person's door with their lawyers.
Played this last year when it was on Game Pass and it was a cute game which I enjoyed. This update isn't enough for me to replay it but its nice for those who have yet to play it and want to personalize the cat. Lucky for me my cat is an all black cat anyway.

Re: Poll: Box Art Brawl - Duel: Fatal Fury Special (SNES)

Re: He-Man Is The Next '80s Icon Getting His Own Stunning Arcade-Style Retro Revival

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th August)

Re: Little Kitty, Big City Will Soon Let You Customise Your Cat And Snap Adorable Pictures Of Them
