I won't need to be good at games to play turn-based stuff, so I'm saving turn-based games for when I'm too old for dexterity games. That means most every RPG, especially on PC as I have little time put into them. A few notables, like Wiz 1, Fallout 1, but almost nothing else. PC in general is a blind spot. I have played almost no PC games. A few different FPS and some indie games from the 2000's (cave story, la-mulana) and that's it. Still on my list for eventual play. Related, have never played an RTS. I don't know what to do with that genre, too many entries and I can't figure where to start. ha ha, for me the it's 21st century. Exceptions exist, but fair to note; Academics point out how hard it is to put definite caps on the end of an era in music and art history, hardly surprising it is not agreed on in games.

also, GET OFF MY LAWN YOU NEWFANGLED GAMES!

Not my favorite Mario (that's probably 1 or 64) but it's very good. I'd say it was important but I don't have a need to go back. I've played it to death, if anything I'd probably pick up 3 as I haven't put much time into it.

I'm pretty sure the ability to make eShop purchases ended last May, so it wouldn't be that. Maybe it's having a boost because it's the "last" true portable, but to see even 2011 models approaching used switch prices in some instances is still pretty wild to me.

Super Mario Bros will be on there as an accurate portrayal of plumbing.

Aaaaaaaand it's sonic.

I have been looking at offloading some 3DS systems and I am shocked at the prices that are being fetched. The Black Friday New 3DS models are moving at 300+ USD easily? Certain LEs are fetching 500-800 USD? Even common variants of New series systems are moving at high prices, considering it's now "last year's model". Even original 3DS models are selling at high prices, on par with what I see for used switch lites. What's causing this? I don't understand why the prices are so high. I get why software is low, since it's still easy to find and easier to pirate, but the hardware seems all out of wack.

Adventure Island 2 is fun! Good luck with Brain Drain, that game is a killer. Can offer Ninja Boy help if requested.

Joymech is not entirely surprising; It came out 3 years after super famicom and 5 years after mega drive, 6 years after pc-engine and after the CD add-ons. In fact, you could get a 3DO or Neo Geo by that time, and a PlayStation or Saturn the year after. Probably hidden gem for that alone; Nobody was paying attention anymore. I always wanted to see an attempt at joymech fight for game boy; I bet it could have been incredible, though you would need a big cartridge storage space for those days.

right, it's like saying Rage is the same as Doom because they put E1M1 in there.

Mine is the DSi XL, not the Lite, but thank you for that website. The listings there are varied, but the most recent was over 800, so that gives me some idea I suppose.

I have a Metallic Rose Nintendo DSi XL I want to sell. It's brand-new and sealed, never been opened. US system. What do you figure it's worth? I see new sealed DSi XL in various colors sell for around 400-800 USD, but I haven't seen any Metallic Rose units sell in a while. Is it in the same ballpark?

That makes sense, like how people today might forget about black box games that I liked a lot, like Kung Fu and Clu Clu Land.
