The Retro Gaming Thread

[Eddy]

I used my Nintendo coins to get Metroid 2 for the 3DS VC.

I actually had 400 Wii points sitting in my account for a couple years I haven't be able to do squat with so I decided I needed to get rid of them so I added 1000 points and bought two VC games I've never played before: Pulseman and StarTropics.

You know which game I feel like playing now? Jet Force Gemini.

I should try to find my old copy of it.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

That's one of those games that I loved as a kid but am absolutely terrified to try again because I might find the it hasn't aged well at all. I mean, with most of these old games I am usually prepared for that kind of thing but I keep my expectations in check when I got back to them. In that regard, I went back to try stuff like Star Fox 64 and Sonic Adventure, and the former aged extremely well while the latter had some problems but I still found it to be a good game, or if I couldn't objectively call that then I still had fun with it, so I really don't give a flying fuck what anyone else says about it.

But with Jet Force Gemini, I looked up some gameplay videos not too long ago and it looks kind of bad, but it could be one of those games that is more fun to play than it is to watch. One day I will probably try it again, though, as I did love it as a kid, and I don't think I could see myself absolutely hating it, even if it did have a bad camera (as was the style of most old 3D games) and even more awkward controls.

Did you know that on his time off from County General Hospital, Dr. Mark Greene likes to go to his local arcade and play Killer Instinct?

Watching ER is fun.

Club Nintendo rewards for this month. Nothing all too surprising.

Watching ER is fun.

If you like having someone vomit into your brain.

I haven't seen that one yet.

I really want a legitimate sequel to Super Mario RPG.

I really want a legitimate sequel to Super Mario RPG.

I always thought this would happen after Nintendo's recent outreach to third party companies like Sega, Tecmo, and Atlus.

An obvious Square collaboration would be a follow-up to that.

[Foggle]

You really want Square going anywhere near a Mario RPG? As far as I'm concerned, they've only been good for publishing western games for years now.

I was never the biggest fan of Super Mario RPG. I like most of the following Mario RPGs more.

Well, to get the rights for the characters and concepts, I mean. I'd rather just have AlphaDream develop the game since they are basically the old SMRPG team.

I was really disappointed that Geno and Mallow weren't in that Mario Basketball game on the 3DS.

Club Nintendo rewards are out now folks.

I grabbed myself a Majora's Mask soundtrack. (I'm really hoping they put out DKC1 and 2 soundtracks next year)

Me too. As I said on the other forum, I already own the Japanese release, but hey, it's free.

The site says on my "to-do" list that I still need to pick a prize though. The heck? Thought we were only allowed one.
