Cobra Triangle fuck yeah! I can’t wait to play it and relive the experiences of my youth by being very excited for a half hour because boat stuff and then completely losing interest because of the difficulty.

Edit: Only managed maybe 15 minutes. Womp womp.

This is exactly it. But it doesn’t fit on a hat or bumper sticker so the details get ignored.

I’m not sure if it’s valid anymore (I am far from a brick aficionado but I have friends that are very into it), but the old rule of thumb says $0.10 per piece, which would put this at $250. $50 Nintendo tax doesn’t seem out of the question, either.

Fine, but only the one.

Maybe I’m just getting old, but the tiny-ass font that seems to be all the rage in gaming UI these days makes things very difficult to play.

Any Gundam fans here?

Cautiously optimistic for this. Any word about online cross platform play?

Humans are bizarrely fond of stuffing their dead with preservatives, hermetically sealing them in a box, and/or incinerating them. Like, it’s our last chance to give a little bit back to nature, but nope.

Hi,

I don’t know you, and I don’t participate on Beehaw regularly (just when something noteworthy hits my all feed, and even then it’s just an upvote usually), but I wanted to give sincere congratulations on stringing all of those connections together to land something you wanted. It’s not easy, but you did it. That’s awesome.

The D-pad also sucks. (Unless they fixed that already in a silent revision somewhere along the line.)

I will take your word for it, haven’t played it in 20 years or so lol. Still have the carts though! And a novelty N64 controller with a wheel instead of a stick that worked great with those games.

Same, had so much fun with that one. I also played the sequel but I can’t remember if it was better or just more of the same.

Except there’s only one turtle.

I was assured “it’s turtles all the way down.”

Well akshully…

Obligatory “everyone should read Discworld” recommendation 🙃

Thank you for posting the truth. It really hurts the heart to see all this disinformation being thrown around.

Train wreck or not, I will forever kick myself for not buying one from KayBee back when they had dozens on clearance, stored on like half of the top shelves in the store.

it was San Francisco Rush on the N64 where I had to stop playing because my eyes hurt

It was Hexen on N64 where I had to stop playing because I kept trying to play through the headache to and distract myself from being nauseous. One violent vomiting session later I found myself questioning life choices. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ To this day I still can’t handle first person games …or third person games where the camera is too close, too low, too fast, or the framerate isn’t consistent/smooth. It kinda sucks.

I’ve owned every machine so each one means a little something to me.

Same.

The N64 was the first I bought with my own money and that had some amazing games. I still own my whole collection.

Same.

However I think I’m going with the Switch. So many great games, many more ported from the WiiU

Almost same. I realize that it’s also on WiiU, but BotW re-ignited something in me that I thought had been lost. And the Switch form factor, while it has obvious tradeoffs, basically made it into gaming option #1 since launch day. I’ve barely touched my XB1 outside of Rock Band since 2017.

However, I will always have a soft spot for the SNES. Again, so many great games. And the controller was brilliant for the time. Sony added handles, two more triggers, and sticks (to one-up the N64 after the fact), and that format is still the default blueprint to this day (copy-my-homework-but-change-it-up-a-bit notwithstanding). So much gaming DNA came from the SNES.
