This year marks the 135th anniversary of Nintendo's founding, and the 35th anniversary of Game Boy, "The Wizard", "Captain N: The Game Master", & "The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!". How should we celebrate?

The most appropriate thing would be to draft a legal letter and send it to you demanding an immediate take down of your post under the DMCA because you infringed on talking about too much Nintendo in one sentence.

I can't believe I'm asking this yet how things changed..., but, does anyone have the dock and ran the March 1st update?  The line that update is kind of fuzzy in how you read it.

Did they finally after like 3 years fix the dock so that it saves your aspect ratio/display settings so the GB/GBC games aren't cropped by default at the top and bottom?

Doraemon is a national treasure, like tezukas astro boy/tetsuwan atom, golgo-13, and a few others that lasted like 30-50+ years.  That definitely had some amount of draw to creeping into the rankings.

If I were given a copy or it was a dollar or two at a flea market I'd grab it, but it's nothing I'd go out of my way for.  I gave it a 5 and feel it's more than fair.

I've had it a few times over the years since it came out, and each time I lose interest largely because I disliked the forced nuances and situations around primarily the special characters meant for a stage.  I think it just kind of is a fun sucking pain in the ass more than a benefit.  I didn't care much for how the Ai differed in general for regular units either compared to Warcraft II which enjoyed most of all and the original not far behind that.  WC3 is far more fun as a story than a game...kind of like Halo.

Not sure, but that startropics complete I have, and I just can not get into the game as the controls just don't work well after awhile.

Wait what....hitler bowling??  There has to be some whack story to it.

Special moves is kind of vague, so with that, I'd consider 'suits' special moves which to me puts Super Mario Bros 3 and Kirby's Adventure at the top of the list, so many moves there.  SMB3 with the frog ability, hammer, tanooki, etc.  Kirby and the so many differing captures and how that changes how to attack a stage or a boss.  Rockman any of them making that list I think would be obvious too with all the robot master abilities and other specials like the platforms, rush dog, etc.  Megami Tensei may get it again given the special you pick up with the demons you can recruit too.

I think I identified all the people except the guy on the right 

Roosevelt, Churchill, Hitler, Stalin and...

Winston Churchill and Benito Mussolini (FDR, Hitler, Stalin the other 3).  The game I believe is named Daisenryaku (sp?) a tactical ww2 game where you can play whatever side you want to shift the war as over there, they're not hyper sensitive about which side you ally with compared to western countries.

Thanks so much! This really helps!

No problem.  I'm currently hoping I can find some time to take an hour or so to do a bit of kind of just that anyway.  I had fudged a cart convertor later last year one that puts NES into a FC.  I'd like to take another shot and see if I can work one up so I can get the expanded audio and MMC5/Tengen mapper games working on my AV Famicom.  I go often between using the 9" PVM and that, or using my honeybee/hi def nes enabled top loader on the modern TV to play and would like to have all audio/features enabled.

That's not a bad deal.  Mind you T/SRPG style games and I throw in X-COM types I'm 99% of the time not a fan of, utterly hate the cheap confusing scripted mechanics they have that lack creativity so I just don't bother.  If I watched enough of this to see I could be fine with it, that's not a bad deal, but I think knowing how my time is lacking anymore these days with two jobs I'd probably get it on my phone and screw with it in my breaks there, between work, etc when it's easier just clicked and played than finding couch time.

You have to do a couple of things to get away with this if you stick with raw normal NES style hardware.  If you went a route I did with a NES HiDef kit from kevtris, then it just works and makes your a/v far nicer too on modern systems.

For starters you'll need to rig up the console, and lastly, you'll need to rig up some 60 to 72pin adapter to get the job done.

This site spells it out, don't really want to copy pasta all this: https://consolemods.org/wiki/NES:Expansion_(EXP)_Audio_Mod#:~:text=To get expansion audio from,3 (Audio mix input).

Fun fact, if you like me also use a NES to Famicom (I have an AV Famicom too unaltered except to use US accessories on controller 2 I did myself) it also needs a tweak for audio to pass correctly, it's at the bottom of that page as well.

Ultimately you'll need to be able to do a bit of basic soldering with some small pieces, wires, flux, and solder to pull this off both on console and on the adapter.

I did find this and followed it last year, if you were to want to use an AV Famicom(or Famicom) and use NES carts on it, this bit of work is needed on a 72 to 60pin convertor to keep MMC5 and expanded audio support -- https://krikzz.com/forum/index.php?topic=5189.0

I missed out on the GBA Shantae on accident, wasn't happy with the puffed up price over what Shantae GBC did complete, but well life and time slipped on that one.  Whoever got it, hope you enjoy that one, seems I may just let it slide or go with Steam on that one.

Speaking of, since they have their own little NA fiefdom with it, any word on Valis Collection 3?

There is no physical for this but the download is on sale for $4 at the e-shop and the DLC is $7.50.

I see Spaceland is all over the place, including iOS so mobile has a crack at it.  I bet it would be play well on there too.

That said, and I'm not around regularly, did anyone here scoop up Another Code for Switch?  I had a gift card from my b'day I cashed out and got the game but (oops) kind of forgot it arrived around a flurry of good luck locally with NES/FC and Genesis stuff that distracted me.  In the last week about I've fired it up twice and I'm impressed.

I feared it would be a total re-run of the DS game, and I remember that one well enough, to say it's a mixed bag of yes and a lot of NO thankfully.  It's fresh alright, things differ clearly.  I've just parked it last night at Ch4 for D's Memories after getting kind of treated like crap from so-called Dad, I'm thinking it's that loser Bill if it's not some other odd twist.  The game works well largely, seems to really fumble very slowly in camera mode which is odd when you're scanning for stuff but that aside it works, and largely not too confusing on things which I hate as logic puzzles in games are illogic puzzles.

Can't wait to put that to bed to try and do the Wii game the NA market was screwed out of back in the day (along with Disaster due to that joke Reggie.)

I've seen a lot of comments like this.  Anecdotally, I got my 3DS within a year of launch, and have never had a hardware issue of any sort.  And I've put thousands of hours into the thing.  Like, many, many games that are 50-90 hour completions.

But very few demanding action games.  I ain't white knuckling the thing.

Any model of 3DS I ever had never had the problem, or added to the problem when I had a couple of second hand models.  The second hand ones that did have an issue were paint chips, but that was from some doofus dropping it on a rough hard ground like blacktop/concrete looking at the dent & scrape pattern on the chips.  I've yet to come across one or one I had new where the action of the buttons/sticks were weak, worn, or selective at all.  The thing is they were just better designed than the questionably dumb paint jobs Nintendo did in past decades where just general use would wipe the inks out on say the GB Pocket and Light where you'd rub the gold and silver paints off to the ugly undercoat.  Any chips found on a SP or later handheld would be from accidents/former owner abuses.  And in that case it was no different than someone sliding an old DMG across the counter over and over again until it had wear scuffs all along the back.

Admittedly I didn't like where I saw this stuff was going over a year ago.  I got rid of my entire though small DS and 3DS library of games and the New 2DSXL I had complete n box and all.  I started seeing a few games here and there I'd want and due to the virus and scalpers going for stupid prices, and not wanting to fuss with warez and dealing with NoA bs with bricking kits around firmware updates I dumped it.  In my absence here I've offloaded a lot because of the headaches of the market and lack of time (working 60 hours now) -- DS, 3DS, PSOne, PS3, NGPC, various other devices and games with them gone and no regrets.  Last one was Cube, finicky drives and discs, toxic price...got out.  I've resolved to (gba aside) sticking to NES to 64, GG and Genesis outside of a new computer and Switch.

Well there are others from the FDS library too like the Catherine mystery novel conversions, and a few others too so they may rate a way up the scale.

Yes but seeing the advice, at least on the non-NFRs you ignored the advice.  Best of luck i saw those go up but I'm really curious to see how this all ends up.

I'm not sure if this should fairly count but what about Wolfenstein 3D and Doom?

W3D on one of the chapters the hidden stage on that one is the map from Pac-Man redone in FPS style yet retains the ghost monsters in that form of 3D along with the pellets being replaced by in game items.

And then Doom had tne honor of adding 2 hidden stages within that were two full stages based on Wolfenstein 3D except you had Commander Keen strung up in a noose for decoration as another nod to an even earlier title.

New drinking game! Everytime Estil posts KENTUCKY FIRST, take a shot.

Last one to pass out wins.

At least you only wrote that, if you took it further to anything UK related or using that decades plus long incorrect use of blue chip when talking about stuff the whole board would die of alcohol poisoning in short order.

2016 is more authentic and fresh to me.  I like the new flicks too, but it feels like they're painted with the Disney/Marvel/Star Wars brush.  Nostalgia cash-in all the way.  Which is great because they're bustin ghosts, just like new Star Wars 78&9 are great because they have lightsabers and space battles.

I'd agree with that sentiment with Frozen Empire, it's nice, but it's not on the tier of the original two, or Afterlife either.  Afterlife doesn't have that disney stench to me, it was if anything a very proper send off and a friendly sad goodbye to Egon too.  It should have stopped there and no one would have thought any worse of it.  The new one which is fine, it's just not in the top half of the pile for sure, and does kind of have that aging dragged out feel a middle of the last star wars trilogy vibe to it just a bit.  Not bad, but why?  2016 is fine, just not fine as a ghostbusters movie as like some redaction and redesign of the old movie franchise as that then given how they acted, how dumb the guy was, and the rest feels a bit like a kick in the teeth.

I remember the 2016 mess being done, I looked back, and I kind of regret being a bit nice with that 6.  I mean it's watchable, but it's also basically everything wrong in hollywood wrapped up into one franchise drive by shooting at the same time.  Thankully the two movies came out since that even they've gone to great lengths to use to redact that one movies existence out of history.  Alone it's fine for what it is, but ...ouch.

Ghostbusters 2 though I wanted to go 7.5 but can't, so 7.  It's good, not great, but it's a solid watch with some good moments just nothing as epic as the original, nor is it as inspiringly good as the rebirth of it with Afterlife.  I'm at odds to say if G2 is better or worse than Frozen Empire though, haven't had the time to stew on that one long enough.

G2 has it's problems, but it's pretty amusing, the ghosts are pretty fun and the possession bits are handled pretty nicely as well.  The puns aren't as good, the locations less amusing or interesting too, and well it's just not as improv as much of the script was on the original and that does hurt it.

@Reed Rothchild Just from those early posts, the one word  you nailed it entirely for the thread being even made -- entitlement.  Be happy you don't live in state, the level of entitlement and utterly sad behavior is time and again around the UK fans more than the other colleges here.  Their fans are utterly insufferable and take that 'we' thing to new heights.  There is no we, you're a fan, like what did YOU do to be consider the 'we' in their team eh?   I mean it hurts just reading a line like that one opener 12 hours ago 'finest college basketball team in all the land' ...since when?  I know I shouldn't even be posting it as it's UK fan trigger worthy and I won't locally get into those idiotic debates and rather not engage in it here either.  For all I care any KY team wins one, awesome... felt the same way about the PRO side in Cali as the locals didn't have to feed off the NCAA to get their kicks as KY has no pro teams.

I was on board with Danny boy there until that last sentence, it's not just un-funny, it's also sad and wrong when I first saw that.  The oddity of it all Activison and that tool CEO, given what they've done, that's a pot kettle black snark moment if there ever was one.

You do remember what the title of this was right? 

Game Boy versions that were more fun than NES/SNES/Arcade?

I pointed out it was more fun, and that it opened up more like the arcade than the NES, that's it, and clearly stated now repeatedly after the first four stages you get far more.  I don't get this whole blinders game here focusing on that as it's nonsense.

I guess so, the date would support it as much.  But there it is, the only other as far as I can recall legit/licensed fighter for the system, or in a way the ONLY since FC got it, and NES got the TMNT fighters.  And this game destroys that janky Konami title control wise, and has far more substance and things to do too.  It's a shame it never made it out of there but it just was too late.  MM6, Warios Woods, gray cart Zeldas were far easier to market than some disjointed robot pixel parts fighting game at that rate.  It would have been endless reviewer baby snark how it just wasn't street fighter II.
