Got the KS shipping notification over the weekend, whoo! This is one that I'd pick up again if it goes physical for the Switch (assuming that it is even half as good as it seems to be).

I won't lie, I decided to play it just for the art style, as the gameplay sounded like it wouldn't be my cup of tea. However, I'm rather surprised by how much I like it. Accomplishing or finding one new things in that sixty seconds is very rewarding, and the sense of depth that I thought would be lacking is definitely there. Dropped 72 minutes into it last night before I couldn't stay awake any longer.

Starting playing Minit last night on @Gloves' recommendation and I'm loving it so far! Ended up scoring one of the alternate cover copies that SRG (the other SRG) put up for sale there at the end. Glad that I did!

Being honest and thoughtful isn't negative. If we can't do that then all conversation is just an ad . I think that wanting one thing as a gamer and another as a developer is probably to be expected when developing for old platforms that comparatively few have access to.

I still have a box of VB controllers to modify as well, though there always seems to be something more important to be doing. Hadn't heard about the 3D printable connector.

Pictures? I've got a whole write up! It's, uh, noob friendly we'll say, and I've been hesitant to share it due to that (i.e. I don't know what I'm doing, but it does work). I gave the info to a more technically minded fellow and he was going to turn it into a real write up, but it doesn't look like he finished it yet. *It looks like the fellow DID finish the VB to NES tutorial AND he even sent it to me to post on my site. This was back in June, and I didn't see it. I'm terrible. I'll be getting that guide up soon, just waiting to hear back from him.

Capcom during the NES era, like Square during the SNES era, is the one that defines the greatness of the console for me. That being said, I never really got to play the last games that they released until recently. Is it just me, or do Mega Man VI and Rescue Rangers 2 feel rather poor in comparison to the games that went before them? Graphically and sound-wise they're great, gameplay is spot on, but game design is lacking. RR2 cuts out any form of level choice, and MM6 isn't even a challenge. Both feel very short. I haven't played Duck Tales 2, but these two at least feel underwhelming. Anyone else?

I have a few left (not many) from the campaign it looks like, and @KHAN Games might have some left over from the NEScape! campaign. Shoot me a PM if interested.

Attached to the sides you say? Seems like I need to do some research here. Thanks! Edit: WILD!

I don't play the Switch in dock mode, it's handheld or bust for me. Otherwise I'd just break out the cart and console.

So I'm not the only one! I have memories of us making fun of kids who shopped there growing up, and thinking that it was the worst place ever (having maybe seen the inside through a window). A friend tipped me off to it a few years ago, and it's been a complete mental 180. Is this even the same store? Why so much brie and other delicacies? The questions abound...

I've been anxiously awaiting What Remains as well. Might just have to take a closer look at it when they finally release it .

I meant the vegetable .

This is still getting me thinking. I want to be indignant and say "how dare you sir!" but it is 100% correct for me as a gamer. I really don't have any interest in playing homebrew games on the Switch due to the controller. I'll take an NES controller and a d-pad, along with a ROM and PowerPak, any day of the week (although I'd prefer a true cart). Steam versions I have zero interest in. Haven't played a PC game since 2003, and don't plan to anytime soon. That being said, those of us lugging around CRTs are probably in the minority, and getting our stuff to a new audience will tell whether they care about what we're doing or not.

Taking a stance, eh?

This is great to see, thanks @Scrobins!

It is time for someone else to carry on this thread I think, it needs new blood. Locking it up so that someone can see the need and start afresh. Feel free to borrow the template, or use any of the info contained herein.

I got to thinking about you and your collection last week or thereabouts, and I was curious if you have anything on your thoughts or experiences with the game from a player's perspective? Is it one of your favorites, or was the collection born from something else like finding a rare piece related to it (which is perfectly fine of course!)?

Not going to lie, I kept seeing #DeathStranding pop up on the trending sidebar on twitter and just thought it was some political thing (and therefore ignored it). I certainly wasn't expecting it to be a game.

I've been waiting to play this, it looks amazing. I've never played one of these games designed for quick bursts, but the art style has me hooked already.

You would want to think it's like No Frills, but it's not. Don't be fooled.

I must have done something right, because the wife brought home some black truffle triple cream brie tonight from Aldi. It has quickly become our favorite place to shop, whether for staples or for the special buys. I enjoy something about the whole seasonal nature of what they offer, and it feels like there is always something new as opposed to just the same old stuff that I see at other stores 52 weeks a year. Anybody else have some Aldi love to share? Any personal favorites? Do you swap quarters in the parking lot? Anybody waiting in line outside the door tomorrow for the wine Advent calendar?

Anybody play that Epic Mickey game? Ran across some screenshots and it was graphically pleasing at least.

One nice thing about the Switch is sleep mode, so if you are itching to play an RPG you can play it at your own pace. No searching for save points, and you can even switch it off in the middle of a large narrative section. I dislike that at times, because it often doesn't feel like I can get into a game as much, but it is darn convenient for those periods in between an afternoon binge session. A quick twenty minutes before bed eventually builds into a grand epic.

Still trying to play Eternal Blue. I just can't get into this game. 2-3 weeks to make it about 3-4 hours into the story.
