Nova Drift, and then some more Nova Drift. Followed by a long session of Nova Drift. I think I need help.

Yet I played it so much I can hear it in my head right now.

In today’s dollars, my local video game store in 1991 was selling Wizardry for the NES for $141.

Fuck, the average AAA Atari 2600 game was $99 in today’s dollars. Games like Pitfall and Pac-Man.

Just some perspective. I’m going to go yell at a cloud or something, now.

Witcher 1 was weird, but I finished it just a few years ago. The combat is half automatic. Like, if you get a dodge skill it just means that when an enemy attacks, “Dodge” might appear above your head more often as enemies attack you. You dont actually dodge anything.

Geralt just swings his sword like crazy (automatically) and numbers appear above the enemies to indicate damage. It’s a constant stream of numbers. And you press buttons once in a while to cast spells, change combat style, or do special moves. At least I think you manually trigger special moves. It’s been a while.

If you watch this video on YouTube, you’ll see what I mean. None of the sword slashes involve pressing a button. They just happen.

I thought it was worth playing. Janky, yes, but worth playing. I played 1 and 2 before playing 3.

MK with its new open world

Now I want open world Mortal Kombat.

Just get a proper emulation handheld. It won’t have Joycon’s that will drift in 12 months. The Switch doesn’t do anything special versus an emulation handheld. There are a million to choose from at every price point.
