@The_Trooper49 ah, thought it was a bit weird too, but i only had to pay 0,00 for now

ordered it.. sort of fell in love with the golden nes cart...

do wonder what it will mean for the future of nsp wiyh switch 2 though.... is this the way to say... well you wanted to buy nes games and have the controllers... so here you are

@KingMike i’ve got a vectrex… a lovely little vector machine, but to call it portable? Sure you can eadily move it around your house, (and since it has a built in screen you have too), and out it opinyour car or something,…size is like an old mac se 30… love thr thing though … recently made this video about it since it is now on the pocket too https://youtu.be/Mf2rXOUeVM0?si=mWTdjQf-9ACG1ntr

With mario land it finally feels like it is a properlibrary which sort of represents the different phases… and nice of them to celebrate 35 years of game boy with launch year… that’s a good excuse for not launching it earlier… we can have a little celvration (you should put it in the article @damo since they pit it in the press release..

Always loved sml 1. Playedyed ut a lot but didn’t have it myself.. my little brother got it on a 16 in one cartridge a few years later i think.. prefer the flow to sml2,. Bought it finally when i got my analogue pocket last year

Still japan gets the best game… for whom the frog is an amazing game.. i actually find it funny.. if you are able to play a translated copy. . It’s ine of the top gb games… a more consise links awakening… (remake time nintnedo)

@Sarkos yeah for me as well. A special twitter account just for this soni could pick up the photos easily. I know nintendo later dod spmerhing for the smart phone but that always seemed more
Complex

Miiverse ftw!

Loved the ds game… and since that is basically in the switch game.. they only have to translate a bit more..

The charm was in the little magazine articles etc.. that might be quite difficult to get the proper tone.. they should hire stuart campbell of amiga power fame!

@Jhena sure it does, but that's why it is so weird it is halten by the number of scans..after 2000 scans you don't need a tutorial anymore but are still only in chapter 3

@Jhena you are doing just solo dives then (looking at the time you're spending on just 3 dives/ amount of scans)....
am doing 2 1 hour dives a day approx... now finding 1/2 new species per dive...

love the game, but dissapointed in the story mode.. at 2000 scan you got a segment which lasted for like 2 minutes..

recently rediscover the ds version, since you can do widescreen and analogue stick support (see gvg video on this).. but the first/second are still the best... vita one is nice too...

@razza1987 indid saw somw in the previews from nintendo itself. But you’re right. The reviews seem to have been offline mostly.

@razza1987 but yesterday it was already up if you launched the game ... you activated the trial without the game.. that'sa pity

@sanderev I personally think it will turn around a bit.. the reviewers clearly didn't experience the online bit that much since it wasn't out

but if you do a comparison which endless ocean 2: that had a great meta story combining collecting, traininig and exploring on a nice overworld.. you felt like you were living the live... (played EO1 back in the day, EO2 this year when i modded my wiiu, just before this was announced)

Really enjoying it until now.. being there with 30 divers doesn't feel like to much since it is a big area... and nice to collectively looking for something..

@folkloner.. endless ocean 2 i'm now 180 hours in this year, so is indeed richer.. endless ocean 1 wasn't that inrteresting if i look back at it now.. just one sea...

after the review i was dissaponted, but now playing it i kind of like it.. (not sure for how long thoughh.. let's see what this event does...

@martynstuff i hooe he comes to pretendo

@GrailUK which i opened this afternoon and is actually eather lovely. The reviewer missed the feeling pf together apart in online.

Thanks for the read.
.not sure i have a to go genre in case of sickness … i do get a lot of comfort tinkering with consoles if i feel cheesy… and sensible soccer.

There is always sensible soccer

mmmm, have ordered it, and wiull enjoy just swimming., but had hoped for more of this... loved the first and especially the second game (and diving), and found abzu just 'not really dive-like'and subnautica just to survival focus to just enjoy... we'lkl see

@SkillToad are you doing rhytm heaven on the iphone... Delta works nice with that.. my game of the week

@calbeau how is the tatacon? i recently hooked up my donkey konga's and it does sort of work..

Recently started playing endless ocean 2 (modded my wiiu) , then the new one was announced and now have to finish it before the new version (story mode is done, but now earning 1 million pesos to reopen the caverns...)

mmm didn't expect that... bit on the fence with this one to be honest.. some nice fan service things so physical would be nice... but I have it on nintendon't with the gc gamecube controller on the wiiu downstairs so i don't even have to fire up my original... will i be playing this or the original.....

@Sparrowhawk you know how expensive diving is? I often spend 50$ for 30 mins of fishy looking.... so i'm saving money here....

but jokes aside, i recently started playing EO2 now that i modded my wiiU (played Eo1 back in '09) just before this was announced and have clocked around 133 hours now...

@Anti-Matter didn't know that one, thanx... that looks like the wiifitU scuba exercise.. which is also quite fun

@LikelySatan fun to read.. euro gamer's review of the first one had something similar... the second game is far more beefy though.. recently got it for my modded WiiU... 100 hours in...

Some lovely games there. Bubble Ghost was the first game I bought. In an import shop. Wanted to have spmethong different as my friends had to be able to trade.

Mole mania was one of the games I want to have for really when O got my pocket. Such lovely japanese packaging. A true gem

Really felt back like 2009 today. Then jailbreaking my iphone 3g for gba emulation. Then Android was still not there @JohnnyMind (think having both a walled system and a not walled helped development of the phone os)

@bluetunnin. You can access your icloud drive and on your iphone which can accessed by files. And i think i saw dropbox somewhere

Won’t use it that much because have a miyoo mini plus but nice to have some favs on the go.

bit of a strange subselection, but reallt happy mole mania is ranked high... love the game and recnetly bought a japanese boxed version because it's so cute (looks so good in the analogue pocket)

@Kidfunkadelic83 they now announced fortunately that there is a single player mode(rcently started playing EO2 on myu modden wiiu, altready 100 hours in)

ah nuce, excaclty the gamer I want a demo for... hated the tutorial, but the feeling of level 1-1 is very cheerful...

@Solomon_Rambling @diogmites thanx for the books discussion.... Although I noticed i love this kind of book for the first hour... production values alone don't make a good book, and without a clear conceptual frame such a book will leave me empty... still there are good exceptions, loved ROM's sensible software book for example (https://www.amazon.nl/-/en/Gary-Penn/dp/0957576803 ) and the book on the demise of commodore

super mega baseball for the win

@Anti-Matter Lovely collection.. one could argue thoguh (as i did with my self in the end), that hacking the wiiu now brings it back to it's intended state, since my warawara plaza is back alive..

(Since i lived in Rome.. it's basically the same with every house remodelling there)

Hacked 3ds after ehops colusure, wiiu in february (gamecube-a-tron, great, fzero AX is a beauty to behold), and installe dpretendo on both last month.. ready for the future!

funny how full the splatoon lobbies were yesterday, had some fun games... now all to pretendo!

Europe actually shows the game, and that clown is scary

Would love to go to Wuhu island, of to the hub world of Endless Ocean 2, a lovely tropical paradise

oh and nice feature, like what Amiga Power did in Wish you were here..https://theweekly.co.uk/ap2/info/Sorry_Saga.html

@ozwally played it on apple arcade.. feels a bit too muc edutainment, less game

@Folkloner agreed, tried to translate some thing from the japanese site, but that didn't really give more info

@Croctopus the first one was a bit lightm but the second one combines a story mode, with some salvaging collecrtion missions, fish healing missiosn, dolphin befriending and training, light museum management, and a number of substorylines..

Rediscovering Endless Ocean 2 on my hacked wiiu.. that is a solid single player experience (60 hours in now), nothing about the single player experience known?

I love the focus on an authpr like jeff minter, rather than a series/// candidates include gunpei yokoi, miyamoto, the smash bros guy., sensible software...

No Nintendo Life, it doesn't hold up. Just played it again, but not only it's the most boring of the gba ones, there is no reason to play it, since it doesn't innovate on the Snes one, and that is completely superseded by f-zero 99... Such a great gba library and then a game you have already on the service....giver us the DD version then so we create some content.. anything..

recently playing F-zero AX and GX on my modded wiiU... holds up so well.... you could just upgrade this so slightly and sell...

ah japan got the same game? i wonder if they would have gotten f-zero climax as well...

@rjejr ah my thoughts exactly... stil might buy it on the switch since it feels like a nice go to game in handheldmode

@-wc- haha, that's not really what i meant, but it might be usefull to reflect on what you actually want to achieve with a function than the specs of the function itself

North america is the more balanced..

anyway the japanese slogan is about the same as the NA one (write everyting,...).. bonus point form using the infinity symbol

@-wc- @spider-key it's really is far better than folders (for my use case at least.. having both a shmup section and an m2 section for example .. just hacked my u and put everything in neat folders... but it will decrease my finding stuff and caused endless debates withing myself to put something in the pinball or in the pc engine category etc.. so basically what @fishyS writes.. you know can actually organize them u use them , in stead of finding an artificial 'best index'

Not they couldn't have improved them ofcourse... games could come with standard tags, that you also could use to filter the e-shop for example... (but improving the e-shop is an whole diffet matter... what a mess....)

And to counte the argument 'but we asked for it', just remember Ford's quote 'if we would have asked people what they wanted, they would have asked for faster horses;' .. in design thinking philosophy (and industrial design in general) it's important to look at the actual need of the client, rather than the perceived solution..

Didn't realise there were so many... the pinball game on gbc is nice though, as is (new) pokemon snap... Pokken a nice wiiU surprise a decade ago

the other free switch ones not more than a destraction... , the stadium games i don't see the point off (I didn't really fit in the pokemon demographic during the n64 days i guess).. and grinding rpg's i sadly don't have time for... stull it looks like it is a bit like fireemblem some, which is nice

Depends a bit on the sunday. This morning it was endless ocean 2. The. Breakfast with the kids and then ringfit for some exercise. (This can be changed with Zwift on the attic or wiifitU skijimping on new years of inline skating when its sunny)

@RudeAnimat0r he has time to finish part two as well.. it's even better.. (just hacked my wiiu so now playing this one)
