Awesome. I was just thinking about these games. Never played them and super excited to give them a play.

Dawn of Souls

Back in the day, we used to gladly pay for a monthly copy of EGM, Game Pro or Mean Machines. And then still have to see ads (although print ads were much more fun and creative than annoying digital ads). I'll definitely consider supporting since I'm always visiting NL for gaming news.

Video games and fishing, the eternal, unlikely romance.

@mechayakuza I wonder how the can justify $60 for a lot of the current games, lol.

Space laser robots?! I'm in!

1985. I got into gaming a few years after that, but without that year all the rest don't matter and I am not even as big of a Nintendo fan as I am a Sega fan. You just have to respect and admire what was done then.

Yeah, skipping any eye drop related stuff for a bit: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/eye-drop-recall-2023-brands-fda-bacteria-infection-cbs-news-explains/

Some pretty lame physical bonuses for such a big release. I'm sure if I sat down for 15 minutes I could have thought of better stuff. Or just no goodies and keep that price at $60 instead of $70. Although, I probably won't be picking up the game since I never had such a great time with the first one.

My current sunglasses are also compatible with my Switch.

Is that even her hand/arm holding the burger, lol? Had to vote Japan!

Wearing a hoody right now with Samus in that exact pose!

Slackers! Just kidding. I was actually thinking this morning I need to jump back in for another playthrough just for the music.

Glad to see the Sega theme doing well at the time of my vote being cast.

Pretty uninspired. They should have themed it on the original 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie instead — This Ain't No Game!

NES. Those games set such a standard right out of the gate. A very hard thing to do imho. I'm not as big of a Nintendo fan as I am a Sega fan, but just think of the NES first-party titles: Mario 1-3, Metroid, Punch-out, Zelda, etc.

I like the idea, but not a fan of the art they decided to go with.

Late again! Splatoon 3 (go team white chocolate!) and got in my first hour of Nier: Automata.

I was just thinking the other day that this series would be great on the Switch!

Where's the Virtual Boy sales?

Not too much gaming this weekend, but beat Robocop on the NES, got in some shoot 'em up action with Razion EX on the Switch and got started with a bit of Sifu, also on the Switch. It's Sunday night by me still, so going to try for a few games of Splatoon 3 and some jeep combat with NES Jackal if time allows!

5/16 and I'm proud of that! Did beat the game once ages ago, but no DLC.

Great shoot 'em up, although it can be brutal at times. I recently beat the Genesis port while the pandemic was in full swing. Glad that others can check it out too.

I hope they get rid of when you're inside a divine beast and trying figure out the internal path. That was bit frustrating.

And hopefully, all the bosses will be much harder. Most I beat the first time around and that felt pretty lame. I'm no expert gamer, but it felt like a lot of build up for a very easy boss battle.

Late with this one again, but wanted to join the party since I got in quite a bit of gaming:
NES:
Zanac
Thundercade
Rambo
Dragon's Lair
Robocop
Jackal

GBA:
Super Puzzle Fighter II

Switch:
Splatoon 3
Night Trap

How sad is it that the lead VA had to buy from a scalper.

The more I watched the trailer, the more I liked it. But the name is awful!

@Dm9982 You win this comments section! Did you get another copy?

@Lynox5 Yeah, you had to beat those 4 bosses 4 times in a row, iirc. I just kept at it hoping something different would happen. That part of the game really killed it for me and felt like unnecessary padding. If you thought that was frustrating, the end boss was super tough. It was basically my first rpg, so it was pretty overwhelming for me. I basically, had to go grind for a ton of elixirs to ensure that everyone could heal at all times. Looking back I did enjoy the game, but at the time it was tough as hell.

@Bunkerneath I thought it was going to be a version of the Hori SNES Super Game Boy Commander Controller. https://consolevariations.com/variation/controller/super-game-boy-commander-sgb-hori-controller

@Magician Thanks! I may have one of them already. I'll need to check. Loving the all the shoot 'em ups on the Switch, but man — they're coming thick and fast, lol.

I've honestly lost count of all the Raiden games coming to the market recently. What's on the 30th anniversary edition?

'89 Game & Watch for me.

Aaagh, what a shame! Golf Story was fantastic. Hopefully, some things can get fixed up. I'll still try to pick this up eventually. 🏌️

There is only one correct choice here and it is NES and original Game Boy!

That skinny font may be for localization requirements (longer translation strings, special characters, non-Roman alphabets, etc). They've got a lot more languages / territories to consider than they did back in the day when some or all of these were released initially. Possibly. Maybe.

I had my eye on this one since it popped up on my radar. I like a good beat 'em up and the main character designs look great. I'll try to track down a physical copy.

Late as usually, but I played the following this weekend:
1. Arcade Paradise on Switch
2. Splatoon 3 on Switch
3. Sonic Frontiers on Switch
4. Lunar: The Silver Star on Sega CD
5. Truberbrook on Switch
6. Road Rash on Genesis

This looks great. Hopefully, they can reach their goal. I've only played Gaiares and I'm terrible at it, but I love that more people may have the chance to play these.

Late again with this, but here's what I played this weekend:

• Whip Rush and Judge Dredd on the Genesis
• Overboard and Seven Pirates H on the Switch
• Ax Battler on the Game Gear
• TMNT on the GBA
• Adventures of Lolo on the NES

This doesn't look half bad. The company I work for played a tiny role in this series and as a Sonic fan, I'll give it a watch in December.

Looks great. Just two hours which I am totally fine with and you have to love the art style. I'll keep an eye out for it.

Looks fantastic. Hopefully, I can remember to give it a go when it releases.

Super late but here's what I played: Splatfest, Sonic Frontiers and Seven Pirates H. Finally done with Phantasy Star 2!!!

Ooooh, I'm looking forward to some new weapon/sub/main combos. I'm still trying find one that works for me. Pretty excited for some new stages too!

Never played a Pokemon game before. Went with water. Happy we got the win!

There's one near me. I may go. I did go to the 2017 Summer of Play event or whatever it was called. I wonder if there'll be any "not for resale' / "demo" carts floating around after these events or if the demo versions of these games will be on Switch demo units themselves.

Looks great. Not a big RPG fan but had to jump in. Pre-ordered the Chained Echoes Nintendo Switch Retro Edition just for that great looking SNES box. Only 500 available so I'm surprised I could get one.

Not a fan of LRG too, but the Tom DuBois art book has me interested. Hopefully, I can get that separately somehow.

Phantasy Star 2 🚀, Adventures of Lolo 🧩 and Shadow the Hedgehog 🦔!
