Being old enough to remember seeing this on TV, I appreciate it for the nostalgia. “Excuse me princess” was meme on the schoolyard well before YouTube ever existed LOL
That one where she pushes him down the watwrfall, tho. 💀
@WiltonRoots Exactly! I’ve tried to wring as much as possible from the experience as well. Currently at 78.something% and 460+ hours. Captivating and rewarding all the way. I was in no hurry to beat the main quest.
@MediocreChuch please don’t think this Latinx word is a “White” thing. It’s a “Leftist” thing. It rolls sexual identity into a racial group to increase intersectionality. Many white folks stand with you, Latino community!
Would someone kindly fill me in on how these cloud games work on Switch? What platform is the game actually running on? In other words, is it essentially a PC game with the Switch merely used as a screen and controller?
I think we’re getting more AEW Fight Forever updates, so I’ll be watching out for that! Also, Thimbleweed Park was a blast so I’m also somewhat interested in Return to Monkey Island.
Over the past 20 years, I’ve owned a few gaming items that I especially loved and regarded as “valuable” (Eternal Darkness, Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn, double pack Wind Waker amiibos). For reasons, there were two occasions on which I had to sell much of what I had. Yes it did hurt, but I’ve learned to not hold things too tightly and I’m a bit more selective about what I acquire now. That said, I loved reading the responses to this question!
The first console that I owned was the NES (with Mario/Duck Hunt), which I received on Christmas ‘89. I also received Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, so for me the nostalgia is still strong with that game.
Prior to that, my neighbours loaned me their Collecovision with a handful of games. I especially remember playing Donkey Kong, Rocky boxing, and Time Pilot.
Growing up through the TMNT craze of the 80’s, I’ll tell you these games were so hugely popular, especially the first arcade machine. Getting to play with others using four separate controls on one cabinet and then finally having it come to NES was insane back in the day. This collection is on my shortlist for the year - just need a release date!!
Fun topic! Here’s my 2 cents for what I’d keep from each console:
NES: The NES Advantage controller, but also the colour scheme. It was my first console and the aesthetic of it still gives me the feels.
Gameboy: Just let me play Tetris.
SNES: The way the cartridges slid so smoothly into the top loader, and the satisfying tactile click as you pressed the release button
Virtual Boy: Nothing. Sorry, not interested.
N64: Multicoloured consoles and controllers
GCN: The GameCube Controller! It still feels so good to hold. Also, I loved the game cases - solid and felt good to snap closed.
GBA: Great library of games, but to me it’s only a portable SNES.
Wii: Proper light gun gaming.
DS: The clamshell form factor was so cool.
Wii U: A disappointing era for me in general, but I’ll keep the two HD remasters of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess.
3DS: Loved the 3D screen. I’ll forever wish it continued on.
Switch: HD handheld gaming with optional TV docking.
Edit: Of course I’m assuming the legacy of ‘stability’ would be preserved. I’d call the console “Nintendo Stabilizer”.

Re: Hide Your Naked Body From The Joy-Con IR Camera In This Weird New Switch Game
I’ll wait for the physical edition. I’m sure it will come bundled with a box.
Jk 😂
Re: Talking Point: Nintendo's Still Making Them, So What amiibo Do You Still Want To See?
I always wanted a Kass (from BOTW) amiibo. Too obscure I guess?

Re: Poll: Which Dormant Nintendo Franchise Would You Most Like To See Return?
Barely realized what I was doing. I see Alex Roivas, I click.
Eternal Darkness, even a straight port, just need some way to experience that game one more time.

I’m in my 40s now and this is the one I had as a kid:

Re: Ubisoft Paris Workers Allege Crunch Culture And Workload Issues
I suppose I’d be a bit miffed too if I was promised something from my career path that wasn’t entirely true.

Re: Retro-Inspired 'Ultra Pro Wrestling' Announced For Switch After Passing First Kickstarter Goal
I’ve wanted a game like this for so long! Also, that Alex Wright dance move NEEDS to be a taunt that can be used in the match.

Re: Nintendo Provides Look At Switch's Games Line-Up For 2023
Fire Emblem and Zelda for me! But I have to admit I REALLY want AEW Fight Forever, too.

Re: We Might Get A Brand New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Game In 2023
I’m very skeptical. Shredder’s Revenge was a labor of love and the Cowabunga Collection contains tried and true classics. Will this stack up?

Re: AEW: Fight Forever Confirmed For Switch After Retail Listing Leaks
This one’s definitely on my short list. Can’t wait for the Switch version.

Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection Will Kick Shell In August
I’ve had this preordered for Switch for quite a while. This is such great news to finally get a release date!
Re: Video: What Was Your First Video Game Ever?
The first console that I owned was the NES (with Mario/Duck Hunt), which I received on Christmas ‘89. I also received Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest, so for me the nostalgia is still strong with that game.

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite Nintendo Switch Screenshot?
@sanderev Agreed, this spectacular game proves that it’s not the destination, but the journey you take that matters.
