Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct
MegaMan52 replied to Jicsan's topic in General Collecting Discussion
Sunshine doesn't deserve all of the hate it receives. Without it, my collection of 3D Mario games would be very incomplete: I like Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine more than Super Mario Galaxy. -
Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct
MegaMan52 replied to Jicsan's topic in General Collecting Discussion
I'm more excited about Super Mario 3D World finally coming to Switch than any of these other announcements. Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit does look cool though, and I plan on buying both the Mario and Luigi Karts sometime. -
Is there a 'console intro' that you are partial to?
MegaMan52 replied to Nintegageo's topic in The Gauntlet
I can't decide, so I'll just say PS1 and GameCube. -
Animal Crossing GameCube going for over $80 now
MegaMan52 replied to MiamiSlice's topic in VG Economics
Glad I still have my original copy that I bought in Dec. 2006, which only cost $30. Still play it along with New Leaf. -
I've gotten back to playing Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online. It's unfortunate that the game doesn't display the Engine Class when the results appear, but I managed to get first place in Excitebike Arena on 200cc this morning:

Console, mostly because I play more retro video games than modern and prefer playing them using real hardware instead of Emulators. I'm aware that PC's have a much higher resolution and that they usually run games at a smoother framerate, but it's not like consoles/retro games can't look good. Even GameCube still holds up reasonably well visually (and is still fun to play, of course), and several of its games run smooth at 60 FPS. Mine is hooked up with its Component cable, and some games such as Metroid Prime, F-Zero GX, and Twilight Princess still look modern(ish). Some also have Widescreen support, like F-Zero GX, Super Monkey Ball 2, and Super Mario Strikers. Also, nowadays, many games that don't have Widescreen support can be played in Widescreen with Action Replay, and even Animal Crossing looks decent when it is played in both Progressive Scan and Widescreen. Anyway, console gaming gets my vote...though I can understand why many people prefer PC's.

How long have you been a game collector?
MegaMan52 replied to Tekdrudge's topic in General Collecting Discussion
Since 1990. Still have my original copy of Rad Racer as well as those "Super Mario Bros. Trapped in the Perilous Pit" and "Winning Tips for Nintendo" books, all three of which were among the first video game items I ever got. -
Pikmin 3 Deluxe announced for Switch
MegaMan52 replied to yellowgameboycolor's topic in New Releases
Ah good. Been waiting for this announcement for a while. Could Star Fox Zero be coming to Switch as well in the future? The only reasons I can think of that anyone would want a Wii U are collectors who need to have every Nintendo system, or the few people who don't have the original Wii and want to make use of the Wii U's backwards compatibility. -
8/10 It has flaws, sure, but it is worth playing. It came with my GameCube, and I have been enjoying it since 2003. Underrated game; I don't regret playing it all these years.

Sumez was asking about the PS2 version, not the GameCube version, in response to my unpopular opinion that the GameCube version is superior (which I stand by, for several reasons listed on page 18). I, for one, didn't and still don't have a problem with the reversed controls since Metroid Prime is the same way (even in the unlockable NES Metroid) and I don't remember anyone ever complaining about that (just the aiming).

Physical Traded one of my extra copies of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door for these: While this controller has a price tag, a friend of mine bought it and later gave it to me for free: That being said, I'm leaving the tag on the controller since first-party controllers are rarely sold for that cheap nowadays. Digital Downloaded Super Kirby Clash:

I have two: one that I'm using, and another that is still sealed.

Was the Gamecube the final bastion for offline gaming?
MegaMan52 replied to ThePhleo's topic in The Gauntlet
Not having DVD or CD playback didn't bother me, as I already had a DVD Player (and nowadays, a Blu-Ray Player). In addition, nearly everyone I knew in 2003/2004 had a DVD Player anyway even if they had a PS2. Even I, an owner of both a PS1 and PS2, didn't and still don't care much about the option to play CDs or the PS2's DVD capability. I bought them to play games, and that's what I did then and do now when turning one of them on. After all, the point of buying a game system is to play games. So naturally, I was and still am fine with the GameCube just being a game system (especially since it has plenty of games I like). Offline gaming was fine by me as well. I had friends then who played Melee, Double Dash!!, and Sonic Heroes (among others) with me, and I still have friends now that play Melee with me occasionally. -
Retro Gaming Youtubers...Good or Bad for the Hobby?
MegaMan52 replied to Tekdrudge's topic in General Collecting Discussion
I have to mention that it is really sad that many classic YouTube users such as ericmansuper, Blaziken257, Tailz64, yearofthe, PlayitBogart, and undercoverfilmer00v (now known as No1Run) barely get any viewers these days and upload less frequently, or have quit altogether. It's unfortunate that a lot of people these days seem to think only Celebrities are worth their time. YouTube was so much better in its early years than it is now. -

Retro Gaming Youtubers...Good or Bad for the Hobby?
MegaMan52 replied to Tekdrudge's topic in General Collecting Discussion
A very brief history of YouTube: 2006: YouTube gets noticed and is a fun place for everyone. People enjoy watching basically any retro gaming video, watch them from start to finish, and post real comments 2020: YouTube resembles Facebook. Many users are picky about nearly everything from the type of video to a video's display, have shorter attention spans, and post spam comments...or nothing at all -
Panel de Pon 64 proto discovered!
MegaMan52 replied to Koopa64's topic in General Collecting Discussion
So would I. I was just saying, it was eventually released. Just not on N64. I wonder if there's an N64 Prototype of the GameCube version of Yoshi's Cookie. -
Panel de Pon 64 proto discovered!
MegaMan52 replied to Koopa64's topic in General Collecting Discussion
Very interesting. The GameCube version, included in Nintendo Puzzle Collection, is nearly identical to this. -
