@WaveBoy Funny thing was at first I thought all NES games were gold and only Super Mario/Duck Hunt was grey because it was a pack in game. It wasn't till I went to my local video store where I saw that all NES games were grey cartridge well at least the licensed ones. My pre-adolescent brain blew when I saw the Tengen cartridges.
I have yet to get it on my Switch which I should so I can do some farming before bed. Right now I just have it on Xbox and I just bought it on PC last month as part of Steams Black Friday sale.
I had go go with NA on just pure nostalgia alone. I remember seeing that box for the first time as my dad handed it to me after buying it for no reason at all (it wasn't a birthday or Christmas). It may have been my second NES game I ever owned, after of course the pack in game of Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt. Still have never beat that game to this day either since my original copy got a corrupted file (for some reason I don't have the crystals to seal the castles).
The second is actually the only BoF game I have never played. The first one to me is the best one while the PS ones are OK. I am surprised that they haven't brought this series back.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) Continuing my gmae this weekend, currently I am still in the Vatican tieing up lose ends.
XDefiant (Series X) playing this one with the boys checking out the newest update which is bittersweet. R.I.P. XDefiant another victim of Ubisoft's careless missmangement.
World of Warcraft Classic (PC) Tackling the Barrens this weekend on my Tauren Shaman. There's just something I find relaxing with classic WoW.
My how the mighty have fallen. What ever happened to Nintendo's seal of quality? Shameful Nintendo very very shameful.
That's one reason I don't browse the eShop the amount of shovelware that one has to sift through just to find a quality game. Come on Nintendo your better then this.
Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Series X) I will be Continuing Indy's adventures this weekend. I am really enjoying this game alot it really nails the Indy vibe definitely my GotY for 2024.
World of Warcraft (PC) Started a new character on the classic servers and what a breath of fresh air it is from retail. It reminds me alot of why I fell in love with WoW in the first place.
One reason I hate using the eShop is the amount of shovelware I have to sift through. It was never this bad on previous Nontendo consoles but I guess since Sony stopped the Vita all that shovelware had to go somewhere.
Stardew Valley (PC) Picked it up as part of the Steam sale for $10 so I will be starting a farm there.
Black Ops 6 (Series X) Double Xp Weekend so my buds want to do some MP and Zombies.
River City Girls (PS4) I started this awhile ago but never finished it. I am still in a beat em up mood so I will be dusting off the PS4 and playing this one with my son.
@Snatcher I loved Lego Dimensions, easily my favorite Lego game. I have been wanting to play it as of late too but I don't remember what I did with the portal.
Right before they discontinued Lego Dimensions a dollar store in my are was selling the packs for a dollar each. I was able to get so many of them and sadly I wasn't able to use cause as I said I lost the portal piece.
I wish they would rerelease it but just have the sets as in game DLC. Granted I understand that it requires building some of the sets in real time for the story, but they can easily change that ton where you build it in game kinda like MySims or Minecraft.
I could see it more as one of the Lego Dimension packs rather then a stand alone game. Still I think it would have been a good addition to the Lego games either as a stand alone or as part of the Dimension series.
@Groovz I got a laptop last year for Black Friday bought the game on Steam because I loved Sims 3 but it wont start up at all. After doing some googling I come to find that it needs Direct X9 and newer computers dont have it.
You probably installed it at some point and forgot you did.
TMNT Shredder's Revenge (Series X) Picked up the Ultimate Edition on sale, so I will be checking out all the post launch content. Still one of my favorite beat em Ups
World of Warcraft (PC) Still messing around with Alts.
CoD: Black Ops 6 (Series X) Will be checking out the new MP maps with the boys that dropped with season one update.
I remember working next door to a Gamestop and purchasing my DS with a copy of Dawn of Sorrow on my lunch break back in 2005. Still had it up untill a few years ago when it got stolen.
Nostalgia wins here for me. I remember seeing that box art for the first time at my local video store. Something about the box art just grabbed me and I had to rent that game to bad it was always rented out when I went to go rent it.
@splatoonaddict They did do it in the past like with the NES and SNES right before the new systems launched but yeah the 3DS was the last one I can remember and the only reason they did that was cause the bad sales in the beginning. The Switch was more successful so I don't see it happening.
I remember watching the credits years ago to Xmen and X2 and when the name David Hayter popped up as screenwriter I wondered if it was the same David Hayter who was Snake. A few years later at a convention I got to ask him myself which of course he confirmed.
World of Warcraft (PC) After 10 years I finally got my judgement armor set for my Paladin! Other then that I will be doing more of the anniversary stuff and achievement hunting.
Borderlands 3 (Series X) Going to be continuing this with my son. Still enjoying it.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (Series X) With the addition of Nuketown I couldn't say know to my favorite Multiplayer map and since its on Gamepass it wont cost me as much as it would buying the game just for a few rounds of Nuketown.

Re: 2024 Has Been The Busiest Year Yet For Nintendo Switch Online In North America
The biggest surprise for me were the Megaman Gameboy games. I am so glad that we got them on a current Gen console especially Mega Man V.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch Online's NES And Game Boy Color Library With Two More Classics
Now if only they would re-release Tetris DS on modern consoles.
Re: PSA: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Is On Sale For Just $15 (US)
@Dirty_Croc Not really since none of those devs will probably see a penny.
Re: PSA: Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown Is On Sale For Just $15 (US)
Probably is a good game but since it's Ubisoft I will pass.
Re: Michel Ancel Says Beyond Good & Evil 2 Development Issues Due To "Problems Between Managers"
Ubisoft is a complete mess right now, I will be surprised if this game ever sees the light of day.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (7th December)
XDefiant (Series X) With news of the inevitable shutdown I figured I enjoy the game while I can.
World of Warcraft (PC) After a short break from the game I got the itch to return to it.
Other then that I am not really playing anything much so that way I have time for Indiana Jones in a few days when it comes out.
Re: Ubisoft Reportedly Discussing Buyout Options As Talks Of Going Private Continue
At this point Ubisoft can close down completely for all I care.

Re: PSA: It's Your Last Chance To Get 'Sega Mega Drive Classics' On Switch eShop
@Magician I got this mainly for SoR2 just so I have it on the go, think I played it once and that was enough for me with that emulation job.
If I want SoR2 I just play my original cartridge on my Analogue SG.

Re: Review: MySims Cozy Bundle (Switch) - An Easygoing, Entertaining Pair Of Sims Spin-Offs
@Anti-Matter What does it matter if a character is wearing a shirt or not? Its not like it changes the gameplay or story.
Re: Review: MySims Cozy Bundle (Switch) - An Easygoing, Entertaining Pair Of Sims Spin-Offs
@Groovz I got a laptop last year for Black Friday bought the game on Steam because I loved Sims 3 but it wont start up at all. After doing some googling I come to find that it needs Direct X9 and newer computers dont have it.

Re: Review: MySims Cozy Bundle (Switch) - An Easygoing, Entertaining Pair Of Sims Spin-Offs
Great review. Will be picking up this game as I have been wanting to play My Sims again and I never owned it on the Wii.
Re: Review: MySims Cozy Bundle (Switch) - An Easygoing, Entertaining Pair Of Sims Spin-Offs
@Yosher FYI Sims 3 will not work on newer PCs. If you don't have Direct X 9 on your PC it won't run.

Re: Blizzard Revives 'Overwatch: Classic' In A New Limited-Time Event
I can see it becoming its own thing. Look at World of Warcraft and World of Warcraft Classic.
Re: Talking Point: With 'Switch 2' Coming, Will Switch Get A Price Cut?
If they are smart it will but this is Nintendo vary rarely do they do price cuts on their stuff just look at their games for example.
Re: Blizzard Revives 'Overwatch: Classic' In A New Limited-Time Event
It's been a few years since I played Overwatch. This will definitely make me want to return.
