Then why did I get one?

I just got a poster from Retro USB for 8-Bit Xmas 2020. I ordered and received the game about a week or two ago, but I didn't know a poster came with it (and shipped separately). Did everyone else who ordered the game get a poster?

I hate to say it, but I never really got into the Castlevania series. We never rented any of them during the NES era, and none of my friends had them either. I've played many of the games as an adult, but none to completion. I really enjoyed the games I tried and some day I hope to play through more of them. I probably haven't played the original enough to give it a proper rating, but I still feel confident enough rating it high. Symphony of the Night is the only one I've played extensively, but even then, I haven't finished it.

I don't disagree with that at all. It should be difficult to learn, but if I haven't mastered it by now, it's not going to happen. However, my inability to wall jump consistently doesn't take anything away from the gameplay for me. However, it does make that pit frustrating whenever I'm doing a 100% run. Also, as a young kid I remember thinking that I had soft locked the game when I fell in that pit and use the save station that some demon crazed game developer decided to put there. That whole area is one big troll. But even with that, I still consider Super Metroid to be as close to a perfect game as just about anything I've ever played.

Plus, watching speed runners do it flawlessly over and over again just makes me feel bad.

Damn you. You made me realize there is ONE thing about Super Metroid I would change. I would make the wall jumping easier. I'm not a good wall jumper, so that would be nice. However, I'm not interested in the other moves. I don't need wall grabbing or ball-dash.

If it is, that's news to me. I've only played through the game twice (compared to dozens upon dozens of times for Super Metroid). So it's certainly possible I missed that.

My biggest complaint with Zero Mission is the fact that they put a dot on the map with an arrow pointing to it saying "go here next." It is a great game, but it's just not as good as Super Metroid. Super Metroid is one of those games that I DON'T want a remake for. The reason being, what would I want them to do different in a remake? The answerer for me is nothing, therefore a remake for me is pointless.

Did no one here order Paprium? I figured that would have been mentioned by now.

One die or two dice. But I completely accept anyone who uses dice singularly because I think it sounds better (I sometimes use it that way). I would never correct someone who uses it that way, and I would be fine if that ever becomes the officially accepted term. Edit: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, but also took a lot of engineering and math classes (but no minor).

I feel the Super Metroid has the better isolated atmosphere compared to the original. The extra music tracks, especially at the beginning of the game really help this. The music and atmosphere of the original are epic, but Super Metroid does it better.

If I have time later, I might try to update your spreadsheet, but this is the list of Disney games for the PS1 that I pulled from my own records. I have genres for each of these games as well, but unfortunately, I don't keep track of developer or publisher (I wish I did). Off the top of my head, I can confirm that Hercules for PS1 is a lot of fun, and it's mostly a 2D side scroller with hand drawn art, so it still looks really good today. There are also some fun levels where you run towards the screen in an endless runner format.

I've seen at least one bluetooth adapter that attaches to the top in the headphone jack. Supposedly, it can remain in place when you dock it. However, I would assume it must have some sort of battery in it that you would need to recharge every once and a while. I'm not sure how else it could be powered. The other concern would be whether or not you can pull the game cart out without removing it since the headphone jack is so close to the cart slot. I have a feeling that no perfect solution exists.

Years ago I bought a used DS at a flea market. It came in a case with about 5 crappy games, but it was super cheap so I bought it. When I got home, I realized that Mario Kart DS was inside the system. I paid less for the entire thing than Mario Kart DS was worth. And the DS ended up working after I charged it up.

That looks good. It's too bad you have to remove it any time you want to charge the Switch or dock it, but I guess that's probably going to be the case with any adapter. It's pretty unfortunate that they didn't include bluetooth on something that's mean to be portable.

It will be six years next Monday for me, but that's for a Crowfunded game, so maybe that doesn't count. If that doesn't count, I'm still waiting on a Amazon order that I placed 3/20/19. I contact them about every other month and they just tell me "it will be there soon."

Super Metroid. Easy pick.

I like them, but not my favorite.

Because of the super small library of games, and the fact that many games are first party Nintendo titles, I would argue that the Wii U has one of the highest ratio of good games to bad games of any major console.

Currently playing through New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on Switch. I haven't played it in about 4 years, but I'm loving it way more that I did the first time I played it on Wii U. I'm attempting to beat all levels in the main game, including the ones that are skippable. I'm not sure if I will go back and try to get all of the star coins or not. Most likely not. I realize that will keep me from some of the secret levels, but I'm not sure if I want to put in that much effort. It really is a good game and it shows that 2D Mario is still a viable type of gameplay. I wish we would get a proper new 2D Mario game for the Switch.

Day 434 of being a bot and still no one has noticed. I've been fortunate enough to remain under the radar as no one has asked me to identify stop signs yet.......

Funny thing about the 32x version of Doom is that despite the bad music and super small screen size, it's the only console port of Doom I've ever played through to completion (and that includes the PS1 version).

When I first played NSMBU on the Wii U, I felt it was just a "meh" game. However, at the time I had recently played all of the other NSMB games and I was probably a little burned out on the series since they are all pretty similar. It's been about 3 years since I first played it, and I'm playing Deluxe on the Switch now because my kids got it for Christmas. Since it's been a while, the game now feels "new" and I'm loving it WAY more than I did 3 years ago. I think it's a lot more fun if you haven't been burned out by the other games in the series. It's definitely worth a play through, but as others have said, it's much more challenging for younger kids compared to Odyssey.

I own one, but I've never played it. I got it as part of a large lot years ago without a power cable, and I never bothered trying to source one. I need to sell it as I have no real desire to keep it.

I would expect those companies to focus on getting a regular clone N64 working first before focusing on a portable version.
