Re: Community: Played A Great Switch Game That We Missed? Send Us Your Noms

Aside from my arcade mentions above, I recently dived into all the Artifex Mundi Adventure games on a chance when one was on sale for $2 Vs the normal $15. Enjoyable games if you like the classic item search and lite story & puzzles (not a big puzzle element guy either) but now I’ve been grabbing them all for $2 a piece lol

@kingbk right the Midway Arcade Origins collection which luckily I have both PS3 and 360 discs but I even downloaded it on 360 which as you probably know, is backwards compatible to play on Xbox one and Series x/s. Bonus!
But yea the fact that that collection is 10 years ago is another reason why I don’t see it happening. The awesome classics they own just sit dormant. 😟

@kingbk I would almost KILL for the Midway/Atari arcade classics!! But with Warner Bros Games in such turmoil my hopes are at a low! But wow that would be soooo awesome and the MAIN missing piece of the Switch arcade powerhouse that it already has become. The missing lineup is just insane:
Defender
Bubbles
Joust
Gauntlet
Paperboy
Hydro Thunder
Tapper
Satans Hollow
Gorf
Wizard of War
Omega Race
Stargate
Robotron 2084
Smash TV
Total Carnage
Rampage
Toobin
Spy Hunter
Sinistar
Xybots
Xenophobe
Timber
Klax
San Francisco Rush
Artic Thunder
Marble Madness
Narc
Race Drivin
And there’s a ton more!! Oh man that would be awesome! Would love to see Q-Bert too lol

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd June (North America)

joey302

Jesus H Christmas that’s a truckload of games! I think back to 2017 waiting for each weekly update lol. Now I can’t even keep track of them anymore.
Even sifting through 800+ games a week that are on sale is a royal pain is the butt especially when the page reloads and brings you back to the beginning again!! 😡 They really REALLY need to update the Switch eshop! Even if it mirrored the Wii U eshop set up that alone would be awesome!! Cmon Nintendo it’s 4 years now. Jeez

Re: SEGA To Reveal 'Projects' For Sonic's 30th Anniversary This Week

joey302

I would hope to see and almost expect at the very least:
1) A new Sonic collection (and not the rehash from the cube Xbox and ps2) with additional and/or more recent games like Dreamcast Sonic Adventure 1&2
2) A remastered Sonic game be it Sonic Heroes, Generations or Colors
3) Dare I say a brand new Sonic entry?? Maybe based on the Sonic Movie??
Would love to see the first 2 happen!
Fingers Crossed 🤞🏻

Re: Limited Run Announces Two Double Dragon Physical Releases For Switch

joey302

@Silly_G I know I missed out on Doom 64! Now it’s $80 or better on eBay etc. 🙄
I guess I was hoping to see them toss Doom 64 in here not only for a more complete collection but for those like me who missed out on it last time lol. Oh well there’s always the possibility it could appear on Best Buy shelves.

Re: Sega Looking To Release Brand New "Super Game" In The Next Five Years

joey302

Still trying wrap my head around Sega halting the Sega Ages line!!! Oh God the potential that was there!!! Crazy Taxi begs for a new release still a very fun game for any gamer.
Us retro gamers really have to give some respect to Hamster and the parade of classics they’ve put out! Ok some of them are obscure and yea some suck but they’ve still released a ton of quality arcade games! Cmon Sega let’s go!!!

Re: Ouch! NES Collector Recalls The Time He Threw Out Packaging Worth $4,000 To 'Save Space'

joey302

I learned my lesson there but don’t have too many loose carts! One thing I did do was cut the hang tabs off the Genesis boxes just to fit them better there were really a pain in the ass but I’m sure just with no hang tabs I probably devalued them a little. But kudos to Sega for those lovely plastic game cases for the master system and Genesis games!! They last much much longer than cardboard

Re: Talking Point: Why Did Nintendo Give Up On Its 'Classic Edition' Concept So Soon?

joey302

They’d rather focus on getting their legacy content on switch?? What at the rate of 4-5 games every 3 months?? I’d buy that answer if the Switch online was flooded with them but it’s not! And STILL 4 years in we’re limited to only Nes and Snes games!! Cmon people that’s terrible! The Wii had N64 games for Pete’s sake 😡
Good thing I have 4 of each classic consoles and 3 modded and loaded with 7000+ classic games from a variety of classic systems ☺️

Re: Random: Another Fan Takes A Crack At Redesigning Switch's User Interface

joey302

I assume there are many like myself totally frustrated trying to navigate the Switch eshop! It’s sooo annoying to attempt to scroll through more than a thousand games on sale each week and then out of the blue the page refreshes and brings you back to the top leaving you no choice but to start all over again- If you even want to bother at that point!! They have to do SOMETHING! Jeez! The Wii U eshop is even better!! I’d be happy with that at the least! 🤪

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo And The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Game Preservation

joey302

That’s why on this subject, and adding in Sony’s recent decisions i have to say over and over and over again, physical is KING! Ya gotta get in your damn car drive to the store and hunt down the game you want. Hell even if your so adamant about NOT going to the store and ordering a game online instead, AT LEAST physical gaming is still being supported!!! We never truly owned our wii Virtual console games, wiiware digital purchases and now we will all see our PS3, PSP and Vita digital purchases slowly head into oblivion!!

Re: Talking Point: Nintendo And The Industry Needs To Get Serious About Game Preservation

joey302

@Papichulo that’s a big part of the answer right there! I have 3 modded Wii’s, 3 modded Snes and Nes mini consoles all with 7000+ games , 1 original modded Xbox with 50k retro games on it and recently a modded Genesis mini!! I’m not missing out just because this industry can’t get its ***** together! Now that said, my physical purchases going back to the 2600 days exceeds 8000 games so I’ve spent untold money over 40 years on this hobby and along the way, EVERY SINGLE time a company re-releases an older game or an arcade compilation on whatever current gen console at that time, I’m there ready with my wallet to support that decision!! But the fact remains is sooo many games will never ever be legitimately released again because of these variations of rights and ownership issues. For this reason the method of emulation is our savior if you wanna play say Turtles in Time among countless others!! 😊

Re: Watch: Video Game Historians Are About To Unbox 600 Rare And Retro Game Magazines

joey302

@Wexter lol as a kid I absolutely loved my 5200! I also loved the Colecovision but overall I grew up a huge Atari fan! The article unfortunately tipped the scales in favor of the colecovision system due to better arcade quality ports such as Mr. Do, Donkey Kong, Mouse Trap and Lady Bug. Now I didn’t agree with the article lol cause the 5200 had its own share of excellent arcade ports such as Centipede, Missle Command, Pole Position, Ms Pac man, Dig Dug and Others. Problem was the article accused Atari of rehashing titles already available on the 2600 and Atari 400/800 computers with no fresh titles for the 52. So Colecovision got the nod. And btw both systems controllers were horrible lol. But my brothers and I had a blast with both systems!! ☺️

Re: Watch: Video Game Historians Are About To Unbox 600 Rare And Retro Game Magazines

joey302

I have a full pallet of video game magazines in storage going back to the early 80s & all the way to when they just about died one by one! Once and a while I search an issue by memory on eBay and shocked to see what some are being sold for!! My wife tells me to sell them but nope not yet lol. One of my favorites is the issue of Electronic Games Magazine which did a big article of “The Atari 5200 Vs Colecovision” comparing features and game cart libraries etc, among countless others! Ahhh the memories!! ☺️

Re: Nintendo Celebrates MAR10 Day 2021 With Themed Switch Sale (North America)

joey302

Always hesitant to buy games digitally on a Nintendo console cause it’s usually doubtful that your purchases will come forward to the next console. Wii and Wii U and with Sony, PS3 are good examples of this. So for me, any digital purchase that’s over $15- $20 requires my careful considerations! So If there is a “Switch 2” in our future, I hope it will be BC!! Would be nice! We already know ps5 won’t be running your PS3 digital purchases so I can’t help but consider them almost history! All that being said I still find Luigi’s Mansion 3 quite tempting lol 😂

Re: Review: G-Darius HD - A True Shmup Legend Reimagined For The High-Def Era

joey302

@Wavey84 not sure about Darius-G except for ordering through SL like I did. But I’m pretty sure ININ the publisher of some Taito games like Bubble Bobble, Ninja Warriors & Space Invaders could possibly be putting out Cotton Reboot, which I also ordered through SL. I thought I read that on this site.
Btw you’re calling it “Cotton Returns” but it’s Cotton Reboot UNLESS we’re not talking about the same game?? 🤷‍♂️
