@Troubbble Balatro is a mobile game.

If something is good, it's good.

Woooohooooo! Going to ask Santa for it!

Edit: Playtime sounds a tad short, though. I don't remember, but Prime 1 and 2 took longer for me to finish, I think.

Looks neat. But is there a way to use it tate? That would be awesome.

Is Uncle Franklin on holiday?

Finally ordered one.. thanks!

@MrGawain nice one! 😂

@Pillowpants "New Zealand, not surprising! I'm really looking forward to this movie, but I'm still surprised they went for live action, instead of animated. I prefer the latter, but I guess I'm just highly sceptical on everything that tries to go from animated to live action."

It could work.... If Dennis Hopper would still be with us, it would be a guaranteed success.

Very nice art and interesting article! Thanks!

@Uncle_Franklin once it's done, you'll get the first copy signed by hand. Seriously: I'm looking out for your counting on every BAB article since years. Thank you for that!

Greetings from Germany

@Uncle_Franklin Please keep up the good work! You're a legend in my book!

@Duck_Farmer understandable. But as a little tip: take your five to ten hours in the beginning to find the magic yourself. I recommend to read the manual of the old titles.

Enjoy!

@Duck_Farmer interesting way to play The Legend of Zelda. Didn't even know it is possible. Are you using a guide? Happy gaming!

13. I stink. I was fun, though!

@WhiteUmbrella the parents should not be given out. The system is flawed. Not Nintendo. They have to play the game like all the others.

I just bought an official controller from the big N and S to try these games I missed out on... I must say: Sega was really not as good as Nintendo. At least playing these games. I hope, I will get a hang. Still holding up

@Anti-Matter "NO.
I already have the Wii version for both games and they are not pleasant to play."

Blasphemy...

@Anti-Matter "I still feel sour with both Mario Galaxy games as both of them applied strict assignments by keep reverting your multiple Mario lives back to 4 no matter how many lives I have farm before and I don't like that gimmick."

This is completely right. They did not fix this issue. If you can replay easy levels over and over there is no fun of having "Lifes". It just slows you down on the progress. They should have make it at least optional to pile them up while saving the game or count the numbers you die or get rid of this outdated mechanic at all. I think this is quiet annoying as well.

@B_Lindz true. But the original Controller should be included and the games should be on a cartridge. Just ask 30 more for it...

@Alienfanatic but no second d-pad. Why not provide the original feel?

I'm in for the hardware. But a cartridge should be included. This NOS stuff is really annoying.

@Uncle_Franklin just zen it out. Big fan of your score-tracking, here. Picked the scorpion, btw 😉

@Member_the_game try the first one. Short, sweet and with some of the best tunes of all the games.

Why four points? Reads more like a two. Should get a two. Just for not crashing. I hate Bubsy. Did hate it back then, hate it now.

@jfp yes. You can change audio language in the settings of the clip a bit like turning subtitles on/off. I had it with AVGN a few weeks ago the first time with the title song being german all in a sudden. It sounded really creepy 😂

Big N should have brought these to Labo VR.

And yet his work is art.

@Moridin The games are ranked by the user's rating on NL.

"Image quality that could generously be described as 'functional'...in 1997" ...made me giggle

@dskatter The game has cross-save-functionallity. Even if you do not own save states from former playthroughs, you can just download them. So I don't see a problem here.

Thanks a lot for the free-roam split-screen hind! I hope it's gonna be a blast with my daughter.

By 2027 the market will be stuffed with Switch 2. Good luck, MS. Too little, too late.

It would break within five months and cost more than a thousand. I like it. But it's not ready for the market in years.

Lego is never. NEVER. Reasonable cheap. It is a conglomerate of Danish billionaires making more profit of nothing. One of the worst companies in history. They suck.

I think the cards are ok. Who has the space and money to buy figurines, that do not show their future benefits? It's quiet an ass-move of Nintendo tbh

I bought it for my daughter. Actually it sucks: the display is always too dark and the wake-ups are no fun. Pretty disappointing.

They should have gone for Rage Against The Machine.

To be honest: those two were driving me nuts. They are soo artificial. Glad they are gone.

Where is that music playing inside the console from, again? Lylat Wars? Thanks!

This is... So...slow....
Bought the Alarmo for myself. my daughter found it. So I cannot return it. She will be waking up next to Link until... Forever.

The only playstation worth the price was the playstation in my opinion. After gen one it went down. But I'm a Nintendo guy through and through. So maybe I missed out. But I don't think so.

Who cares about PS2? In comparison to the switch it was a crappy console. Having the cheapest DVD player on the market is not something to be proud of. I had a PS2 and a GameCube. I nearly only played on the latter. Better games and better loading times. To make sales by not doing anything against piracy brings it to the point. That costs the developers. So be proud Sony. But not so loud about it.

I wonder what's the big deal. I love Tetris to shreds. But at that price? Without being physical? I don't get it.

@YoshiTails Same here. The first one is waaaayyy better. Still nice to have, though.

@Branovices did you like it? I played it on NSO today and I think it sucks. Even if it's old. I had the Nes as a kid but am glad, that i did not own this game.

High-quality recap. Thanks!

What a shocker!

Sorry to say: new Zelda looks boring and Metroid 4 outdated. The new "Mario game" bites me too. I am a Nintendo fan since ever (32 years) but this is not the stuff that keeps me up. My daughter will like the new Zelda, hopefully.

@Tayrailbridge because that's Jumpman, not Mario

Who plays that still? It's a kiddy troll hole with a skin shop. It sucks badly.

@Spider-Kev A. Is a genius. Everyone but you can tell.
