  1. We have one of the updated version of this and they are great. No regrets so far.
  2. My wife is a Nintendo fangirl and didn't realize the Wii U existed until randomly seeing one at Gamestop. Nintendo did a poor job informing the consumer about the console. Thankfully we didn't have the same problem with the Switch. It was hard to not know about the current console.
  3. I played through a good chunk of this years ago. I remember reaching a desert and maybe getting a bit further. Something about the experience wasnt memorable and I didn't bother finishing it. Once I got passed the strangeness of the game I didn't feel like there was much special about it. Japanese games have so much odd stuff that fighting a record hasn't stuck with me. 5/10. My disinterest in Earthbound is probably why I don't care about undertale either. I haven't bothered with the game since I was a teen. Perhaps I should sit down with it once more and see what I think. Until then my vote stands.
  4. I had a decent result changing the thermal paste on a PS4 Pro. It wouldn't hurt checking ifixit to see if they have a teardown for the console. I'm guessing Microsoft didn't go for a higher quality paste than Sony did. Any luck and it will run a bit cooler and quieter.
  5. Now is a great time to order replacement parts while they are still available. I picked up a dock, charger, and 2 batteries for my new 3DS XL. After missing the Wii U batteries I didn't want to end up with the same problem.
  6. Back compatability or if you already own the games and don't want to double dip are the only reasons. I would love to knock out my Wii U backlog and sell it off. I already have BOTW, DKTF, and Mario Kart 8 deluxe. Give me Zeldas and 3d World so I can sell this stuff off. Just need to spend a year convincing my wife.
  7. I hear you about the current gen releases. Nintendo has done a great job with new releases this generation. It's some of my favorite stuff. Just saying it's too easy to discount a good system. The Wii U won't be the Dreamcast though. All the good stuff is leaving the console.
  8. I would gladly move to the switch if there was an upgrade program for prior owners. Didn't Nintendo offer a discount for people to move their Wii eShop titles to Wii U? Something like that and I would dump these games. I would gladly give them $20 or so to move my game to the next console, but $60 is a tough sell. For those who skipped on Wii U these are great releases. I will likely get the ports cheap one day and pass the Wii U to friends who want the Nintendo back catalog.
  9. I modded mine recently and put all my games on a hard drive. Currently I am playing through Wind Waker and remembering how great this system really is. The games still look good and the second screen is perfect for inventories/maps. It is still very collectible as most of the games are cheaper than Switch and only lack some tacked on DLC. I've owned a few switch ports and sold most to recoup the money. Let's not forget the Wii mode. I hear the argument that the Wii U is irrelevant but the same argument could be made that first party Switch output is lazy due to tons of ports.
  10. Probably an Elder Scrolls. You can create so many different builds and set up challenges for yourself. I want to say Morrowind but would probably just go with Skyrim. Since I can somehow power my PC on a deserted island I will assume all the mods I want are already one the SSD as well.
  11. 8. I started out hating the game as the controls where not what I expected. Once I adjusted I really liked what was there. The setting, music, and levels are all great. It's a very unique experience. I'm not sure if I will return to it but I would like to.
  12. No need to bring Scooby Doo into this. He did nothing wrong.
  13. The book is cool. I have a copy that we loaned to a friend who likes the game. I don't think I'm getting it back. Might be a good time to buy the updated version. We also have the coloring book and cross stitch patterns.
  14. I love this game. I have the eShop version and a PC copy for mods. I'm tempted to get a switch collectors edition for be box and display.
  15. Prices since March have made no sense. I have found it best to not question it and just enjoy the sales.
  16. I have been thinking about starting up again. Anything to get out of the house is worth it lately.

    As someone who does have a PC occupying an HDMI port on their computer I can confidently say it is often annoying. Sure I can play games at specs well about consoles but that also comes with the time spent dialing in settings. I was recently going to start Final Fantasy XV. It ran well but after a few minutes my FPS tanked. Then came the 45 minutes of dialing in settings. Yes I could have just gone to a lower preset but after dropping as much as I have onthe system I'm going to lower a setting at a time to ensure the best experience possible. If I just played it on my One X it would have worked right away. Also, the pins are perfect for a media setup. I tried PS4s TV app for all of a minute. Once I saw I had apps stuck to my bar as ads I moved on.

    I don't hold the PlayStation exclusives in as high regard as many people. They typically go for a cinematic experience that starts to seem the same after a while. Never got how Xbox gets bashed for too many FPS game when PlayStation clearly has a formula to their titles. Preferences I suppose make that difference. Xbox has some interesting exclusives coming up. I'm looking forward to Stalker 2 as well as whatever that new Rare game ends up being. Fable got announced and that's a series I've been wanting to try. PlayStation is showing more up front and I hope Xbox continues to bring more new stuff to be on par. I will always prefer achievement points over trophies. Never understood the point of b/s/g. Just give me an achievement for the game and tell me the rarity of it. Steam is similar in there handling of achievements.
  19. I have to agree. The last package I sent didn't update from the local post office scan until it was about to go out for delivery on New York. I thought it was lost. I'm just glad I didn't have to test USPS insurance claims.

    I agree PlayStation has the better exclusives. It does seem like Xbox will be much stronger with their studios next gen though. I too will probably lean Xbox simply because of gamepass. Until Horizon Zero Dawn 2 comes out I have no reason to leave the PS4.

    https://www.retrorgb.com/carby-component-cables.html RetroRGB seems to like those cables. I would bet firmware has been updated to improve the experience since that article too. Seems like a good option all around. These GC cables could be a cool collectors item for the right person. Good luck with the sale.
  22. Xbox has a game subscription service similar to Netflix. On console it is $4.99 a month and $14.99 for Xbox, PC, and Xbox live. All their first party games launch on it plus tons of other stuff is on there. It's cheap enough to make buying a lot of games feel pointless when they may only get played once.
  23. My wife brought this up. The art style is great and it has cats. We have since backed it. I've had good luck with Kickstarter and how it continues.
  24. I'm looking forward to this release. Even these games look a lot better on other consoles. Switch is a first party console to me so ports to other systems are appreciated. For Xbox owners, I saw this was coming to gamepass. $15 is a great price for one playthrough of this. Gamepass really is a great value. It's how I will likely play it.
