The Price Is Retro

If this is your first time playing Price Is Retro, here’s how we play. I’m going to list off 4 or 5 games and everyone has to guess how much the lot is worth in total. Whoever is closest to the actual value wins that round! Everyone has a list and everyone guesses on each other's list. At the end, the player that won the most rounds wins the episode! But watch out for the robot Deus Guess Machina! He averages all of our guesses together for his own guess Dinosaur - Leonard - adds up original costs, retail value

Ghost - Polterguest - always guesses 300

Nintendo Switch 2

Backwards Compatibility: Great in the short term

The death of physical?

Some games will be “Game Key Cards”, which act as a physical key but require download of data to play.

Confirmed Key card games:

Bravely Default Flying Fairy

Street Fighter VI

Surprisingly not cyberpunk?

Playasia listing suggest this for Elden Ring: Tarnished edition (not 100% confirmed).

This will be labeled on the box at the bottom

Game key cards are NOT tied to a specific account (despite some reports to the contrary)

https://www.theverge.com/news/644803/nintendo-switch-2-game-key-cards-trade-borrow-resell

Possibly comparable to CD-ROMs in PC gaming when they were still relevant. (Data was written to hard drive during install, but disc still needed to boot.

A cost cutting measure? Is this why Mario kart world is extra expensive

The Biggest disadvantage: Downloads not always available.

Switch 2 Upgrade games such as Metroid Prime 4 will also require a download, even if the switch 2 version is purchased.

Gamecube NSO

Day 1:

• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
• F-Zero GX
• Soul Calibur II

Available Later

• Super Mario Sunshine
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
• Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness

@everyone we will having a Switch 2 conversation on the next episode! We are going to try to focus more on the Retro side of things but you know we won't be able to help ourselves lol. If you have any questions or just want to share your thoughts on the direct, tell us here and we will discuss them! Thanks

Drex1981 — 4/3/2025 9:48 AM

When I first saw the announcement trailer in January. I immediately thought to myself this looks like what a switch pro was going to be. However I was curious and looking forward to the direct and after seeing the direct, this doesnt feel like a new console to me. It basically feel like the Switch Pro. For 499 bucks? And 80 bucks per game. I’m going to wait or just buy a steam deck.

Eric Plunk — 4/3/2025 9:50 AM

I want to see a TV dinner style tray to use the mouse function on with interchangeable tray tops. Bonus points if they have one that looks like the SNES mouse pad

DoubleD — 4/3/2025 10:51 AM

For me, this is exactly what I wanted for the next Nintendo console. This direct was a complete 180 from the previous one, where the only thing that really got me hyped was Metroid Prime 4. I'm 100% on board with being an early adopter for this, whereas, I wasn't when the original Switch was announced. They're truly making a version of the Switch that I always wanted. Not only that, but they also announced games that I'm excited for, which seals the deal that it's going to be a day 1 purchase. I didn't expect it, but the game I am most excited for is DK Bananza! Also, with my kids getting older and moving out, I love the integrated video chat and screen sharing options. I still won't get the higher tier of NSO though, so I'll just keep playing Gamecube games on my Gamecube, but I love that they added it.

SNES_is_Life — 4/3/2025 10:53 AM

DK looks great for sure.

txTrey — 4/3/2025 11:29 AM

My kids are still younger, but my third thought about that chat stuff was that I could do it with them when they move out or go to college. I still have probably one more Nintendo console release before that happens, so hopefully it carries forward

ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 — 4/3/2025 11:40 AM

My question; who is getting the Switch GameCube controller?

Xomber — 4/3/2025 11:42 AM

Only if the ones I have already stop working. (edited)

Third Strongest Mole (Sam) — 4/3/2025 11:43 AM

yeah I hope the old gc adapter still works

SpiderShan — 4/3/2025 12:52 PM

I’m willing to forgo having a C Button on my GC Controller as long as the GC adapter is still supported!

Xomber — 4/3/2025 2:19 PM

Nintendo said years ago to keep the GC controllers and I made sure to!

Retro related: What game do you most want to be added to GC online? Do you think they’ll add Metroid Prime 2 there? Of the first three Metroid primes, which is your favorite?

Xomber — 4/4/2025 3:29 AM

MK: Double Dash!

Console Iterations

Community Couch

• @everyone it's time to dust off the old community couch! What are your opinions on console iterations? Do you prefer the model of console iteration that we usually get from Nintendo (sometging new and different) or prefer the PS/Xbox (Same but more powerful) route. Also do you like mid generation iterations like pro models or do you usually skip those. Maybe you wait for the pro model lol. Let's us know and we will discuss this on the next show!

• 1/24/2025 10:11 AM I prefer mind gen iterations like PS Xbox but I generally get the iterations if there is an improvement on battery or screen. The only one I didn't get was the Steam Deck OLED because it was just a sunk cost of 900 after selling the original, I guess cost also factors in. I usually get everything at launch if available

• 1/24/2025 10:16 AM Considering how hugely successful the Switch was I am hearing people say Nintendo played it safe and smart with this new console. I don’t see that as a bad thing at all as I feel if it is not broke don’t try to fix it. The Switch is being modeled by other companies and to have an entry that is more powerful will be great. Would rather have something that brings more games to play better and more 3rd party releases than the next whimsical features they May or may not stick. Can’t help but think back to all the comments of the MK1 pics of people saying “but Nintendo fans say graphics don’t matter.”

• 1/24/2025 10:17 AM The only iteration I was interested in was the DS Lite. That was a massive step up over the regular DS. I could care less about the PS4 pro or PS5 pro. My OG switch is serving me just fine.

• 1/24/2025 3:19 PM I definitely get more excited about Nintendo console iterations, but will also always get the next PlayStation console as well, just because that's where the new games are going to be. I will say that I actually delayed my purchase of the PS5 for a while, because initially there weren't many games that I was interested in that weren't also available on the PS4. Regarding mid gen iterations, it's all about the bang for the buck. When the PS4 Pro came out, I was upgrading my TV to a 4K one, so I was motivated to upgrade to the Pro as well to get the most out of the TV, and was very happy with the decision. I also got a Switch lite during the pandemic because my wife was hogging my Switch with Animal Crossing, but now it's just collecting dust. I never got an OLED Switch, because I primarily play it docked.

I got to be part of the Nintendo Dads panel to talk about retro gaming at the con in my home town. And by panel I mean just me and Marty Estes I was also introduced to the girl that voiced Ash from Pokemon.

adam — Today at 1:23 PM

i was going to origins game fair with my friends, and one of the features of the con was the ability to pitch a board game you designed to publishers with the intent of either getting advice or possibly being picked up by the publisher and have your board game sold.

my friend sam had been developing a game for awhile called ‘go for the krill’ a whale themed trick taking card game, and he was planning on pitching it at the convention. while we were in line to get tickets we struck up a conversation with the guy behind us we all hit it off, and it turns out he owned a board game company and he picked up my friends game and it’s gonna be launched in the near future!

OctoRock_1982 — Today at 2:07 PM

My favorite convention memory is getting to spending time with Dan, John and Trey.

DoubleD — Today at 2:35 PM

A good friend and I took our sons to Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany (pictured is the FFXV wristband I still have from the event). It was such an amazing and over the top event, and while I was originally excited for myself, I quickly switched gears and I let my son take over and decide how we spent our time there. It was my first large gaming event like this, so I didn't realize how much time we would spend waiting in line though. My favorite thing there was the Tekken 7 booth, but it was bittersweet, because we waited in line for a while to play it, and then found out that my son was too young and they wouldn't let him play it even though I was his father. Very strange, but still a great experience overall.

Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — Today at 2:36 PM

I've only ever been to Anime Midwest, and that was more to chaperone my sister. It was fun tho. It was really surreal seeing a bunch of people dressed up in cosplay, and it was fun trying to see how many I recognized. I got a picture with Pepsi Man. We went to a few panels of varying quality, from a professional samurai to some people who just bought a ton of Kazoos. We did Karaoke, and I sang Call Me Maybe, The Kirby Right Back At Ya Theme, Bye Bye Baby (Giants home run theme), Full Disclosure (Steven Universe), and Ya Got Trouble (Music Man). Someone sang Escape from the City (SA2) and the Phineas and Ferb Theme Song. It was a good time!

txTrey — Today at 5:25 PM

I took my son to CGF yesterday morning near opening time and he played a demo of a game called Ghost Ship Grannies. The game is an RPG about a group of grannies who get shipwrecked and you have to find the other grannies and do RPG things. Then when I obligatorily signed up for the email list after talking to the game's artist I saw 2 lines up on the sheet someone had signed up with the SAME FIRST.LAST@gmail.com address as my son's name! It was the most coincidental moment that has happened to me at a convention. That was the question, right?

• The developer of the Mario & Luigi games began as a fledgling RPG house. Making both the japanese only Koto Battle: Tengai no Moribito for GBC and Tomato Adventure for GBA.

• In Tomato Adventure the player, as DeMille, a tomato-hater in the Ketchup Kingdom, fights his way from his outcast village to rescue his girlfriend. The in-game weapons are toy-like and the battles against opponents involve minigames. Some consider it to be the spiritual precursor to Mario & Luigi.

• Tetsuo Mizuno, Square's second president, and Fujioka and Yoshihiko Maekawa, who were game directors at Square. The name AlphaDream, meaning the 'first dream', is a play on Final Fantasy, Square's most notable series.

• Alphadream was also notable for being the developer for the Hamtaro license and created several games using the IP.
• Specifically, the later games in the series, Rainbow Rescue and Ham Ham games, both of which featured minigames that served as a prototype for those featured in mario & luigi series.

44:52-48:00

• On October 1, 2019, AlphaDream declared bankruptcy, citing sluggish revenues and high development costs, and being unable to keep up with growing debt (which as of March 2018 was over ¥465 million)
• Many of the staff were scooped up Monolithsoft, ILCA, and Nintendo.

Just being Bruce — Today at 6:50 PM

Oh sorry guys, but I can’t leave any messages for you about that because I’m concentrating on the Oilers winning all the way!!!!!!!!!

Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — Today at 7:08 PM

The Mario & Luigi games are my childhood Mario RPGs. I had Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story as a kid. I view the series as an underrated classic. I own and have played the core four games, but I only beat PiT and BiS. I almost got to the end in Superstar Saga, tho. I haven't played Paper Jam. I think my favorite is absolutely Bowser's Inside Story.

Eric Plunk — Today at 8:07 PM

I’ve only dabbled in the series but have played enough them to enjoy their comedic charm. Superstar Saga has a special place in my heart because it was the last Christmas gift I got from my Grandmother before she passed.

Tony Hawk turned down a one-time offer for permanent use of his name in likeness in favor of royalties. He made the right call, earning ten times the initial offer within two years.

Tony Hawk also did a lot of playtesting himself, and personally selected the skaters to be playable characters himself as well.

-motion capture was attempted, but not quite there yet. Instead, animations were made based on X-games footage as reference

I remember when Tony Hawk Pro skater first released. (edited)

as a kid playing game was for nights and winter when it was raining but every time i had my friends over it was always a compitition to see who could get the best line or the highest score. I remember several weekends we would even carry our tvs to each others houses and have multiple games going at once. pizza tons of soda and nothing but laughs.

bozo — Yesterday at 10:14 AM

I was very late to the party with THPS - I only got into the series around 2016 as I was building up my OG Xbox library and had 2x/3/4 on hand to see what all the fuss was about. Going in, I was expecting it to be the kind of game that hasn't aged well; one whose reputation was heavily embellished by nostalgia for the era it represented.

Needless to say, I was very, very wrong. THPS totally holds up. And the gameplay mechanics on offer are not only ridiculously deep, but fluid and cohesive in a way few other games can match even today. Chaining tricks into manuals into ramps into reverts is an absolutely sublime gameplay loop that never gets old.

I'm always bothered whenever THPS gets lumped into the generic "Sports" categorization, when in reality it has way more in common with combo-oriented action games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta than say, Madden. I think that's why it quickly became one of my all-time favorite series despite completely missing out on them when they were in the zeitgeist.

Oh yeah, and the soundtrack? It shreds. As a huge pop-punk fan I couldn't ask for more.

I'll never forgive Activision-Blizzard for shutting down Vicarious Visions and cancelling the THPS 3+4 remaster. 1+2 is arguably the best remaster ever made, and is easily the apex of the entire franchise, despite the moribund state the franchise was in for the previous 15 years.

Eric Plunk

I think Microsoft has done the best job out of anyone on backwards compatibility and preservation of their Xbox library. 630 out of 2,155 360 games and 60 out of 998 original Xbox games have been made available on the Xbox One & Series X. While this softens the blow of the 360 marketplace’s closure there are still a massive amount of games being left behind. Physical copies of these games will and in some cases already have seen an increase in value. Digital only games like Rush ‘N Attack Expatriot, Rez HD, Vigilante 8 Arcade, and all of the Arcade Kinect games will be largely left to time, piracy notwithstanding. Here’s hoping that the recently rumored renewed focus on backwards compatibility from Microsoft comes to fruition.

• PS3

-While Sony had previously announced in 2021 that it was shutting down its PS3 digital storefront, the company reversed its decision after a backlash from fans. Both the PS3 servers and store remain in operation in 2024.

Eric Plunk — 04/22/2024 10:40 AM I wish I had the foresight to download the Konami Rebirth series of games from WiiWare before the Wii Shop closed down. Every company should make a better effort to preserve and make these games available on future hardware.

@txTrey

Guys I've never played super Metroid more than an hour because I got stuck and gave up. I've beaten dread, fusion, and returns remake. Should I walk or run into playing super Metroid? Does it do anything better than the games that came after it? Or was it remarkable for being the first of the great Metroid games?

Dan - RetroLogic — 04/07/2024 5:29 PM

I play it for the first time ever a few years ago and it's undoubtedly one of my favorite games of all time now.

BUT I didn't play it without some help. There are a few points in the game where what you need to do next is unintentionally opaque. I own the paper guide so I limited myself to that. But if you get stuck, just look it up.

The game is amazing and 100% worth playing.

OctoRock_1982 — 04/07/2024 6:05 PM

As an adult with normal adult responsibilities, there are plenty of retro games that will give you a much more enjoyable experience using a guide when you don’t have endless childhood summers and afternoons filled with nothing but free time to explore every single pixel of a game.

Solo — 04/07/2024 6:41 PM

After coming off Metroid and many Summer afternoons firing your way thru an underground maze; do you feel Super Metroid in comparison was an easier game to finish since you had a working foundation now? (edited)

Mike Writes — 04/07/2024 7:40 PM

Canceled Games we wish we could play (or at least see finished)

Mario Motors

3ds

Yutaka “Yoot” Saito (Odama, Seaman, SimTower, Aeroporter) revealed its canceled development at 2018’s Reboot Develop conference.
Based on Yoot’s latest hobby of sculpting chunks of metal and him chatting about it with Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoru Iwata

Saito could not give a reason why the game was canceled.

-Game was based around the concept of building engines by shaving and sculpting chunks of metal.

-at one point intended to blow into DS microphone (because YS loves microphones)

-Unclear if you would actually ever race using these engines

-only two characters confirmed in concept art, Mario (duh) and an elderly scientist (no, not E. Gadd)

Super Mario Spikers

Wii

-volleyball-wrestling hybrid sport game to be developed by Next Level games team responsible for Mario Strikers games

-carried over experience from the also canceled WWE Titans: parts unknown (the same team worked on it and really didn’t want these ideas to go to waste

-WWE parts unknwn itself is super interesting: crazy stylized take on pro wrestling, featuring fantastic environments and the ability to wrestle bears, crocodiles, sorcerers, etc.

• Nintendo felt the violence in the game was too realistic for something featuring mario’s characters

AC1 on a PS1 demo disk

What’s special about the series:

• Customizability
• Plot is very obtuse
• Opening cinematics were awesome
• Arena and missions - encountering other Raven’s in a mission
• Difficulty
• Soundtrack

-Daemon X Machina as the (failed?) “spiritual successor”

-Kenichiro Tsukuda as producer (producer from AC 2, 3, silent line)

-Mech designs by Shoji Kawamori (worked on every armored core before V)

Future installments?

Interesting tidbits

The series is weird about region exclusivity:

ReBoot camp has yet to be confirmed for a release in japan

Advance Wars (1) was delayed in japan (presumably as a result of the US war on terror, though not officially stated).(the US released coincidentally released just before on September 10, 2001) It released 3 years later in 2004 as Game boy Wars advance 1 & 2, bundled with the second game.

Famicom wars, Gameboy Wars 1-3 were of course Japan only

Japan also only got Days of Ruin as an eshop exclusive, not physical.

Designer Kentaro Nishimura stated that the success of Advance Wars shifted NIntendo’s attitude towards western tastes and without it Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade would never have been localized.

Reboot camp is not the first time Nintendo outsourced the series development to a third party: Game boy wars Turbo, 2, and 3 were developed by Hudson and Battalion Wars 1 and 2 by Kuju Entertainment.

How has your opinion on a game changed on a repeat playthrough?

Earthworm Jim Claymates Pokemon BOTW Metroid Prime

Community comments

Presto

Sonic Colors. Played the OG on Wii, it was my first Sonic game, and had good memories.

Bozo

F-Zero GX comes to mind. When I first played it in 8th grade I couldn't understand how anyone could even reach the credits, Now after 100%-ing the game multiple times and beating all the staff ghosts, GX provides a catharsis and a sense of mastery that other racing games simply can't compete with. Everything else feels so pedestrian in comparison. It's gaming in its purest, most intense form and I love it.

Octorock (Adam)

Replaying games multiple times is a luxury that I haven’t really had in a long time. The first exception to this is probably going to be Breath of the Wild which I just recently started a quick playthrough in anticipation of Tears for Fears coming out in May. Conversely, having just started playing Metroid Prime Remastered, I’m amazed at how much I actually remember considering I haven’t played it in 20 years!

SoloSomething

Elden Ring currently playing a second time and will say opinion did change on this one. The 1st play thru I got so frustrated multiple times I literally deleted the game off my PS5 because I was drained by the boss fights.

And now on my 2nd play it is my junk food game that I love to just jump and go raise Hell and see what trophy I can get.

Two Dollar Hero

Are there any games you actually never want to replay? I call these “big fish” games — I want them to stay rose tinted in my memory; I want to always remember the fish that I caught being massive and I don’t want to revisit it and see that it actually wasn’t. A good example of this for me is Journey. I’ll never play that game again - I had my experience.

My favorite RetroLogic memory from this season was when Dan trash talked Garfield, and then everyone on the server decided to never let him live that down. You inspired me to get back into Mario Vs DK Mini Land Mayhem (even tho no one joined me ). Polterguest will change their name to Polterlistener, and just lurk around the discord

For me it’d be Christmas Day 1996. Lots of snow on the ground which didn’t always happen in Tennessee. Entering a 3D world for the first time (other than sampling it at a Walmart kiosk earlier) in Super Mario 64 was magical. My friend that recently passed

Questions
Follow up on “John’s retro collection and potential downsizing”

ChrisHL94

I am definitely feeling what John described in the last podcast. I have a fairly modest game collection, but I almost never "have" time to play them. I keep telling myself I'll play these games one day, like when the kids are older and out of the house, or when I have fewer commitments in my life. I also wonder if this "time" will ever come, and should I just sell all these games and play what I have time for. I have a feeling I know what you guys think about this, but I'd be interested in hearing it.

WarriorofWASD

I feel this. I have tons of unbeaten games and a wishlist that is just as big. I had to redeem my game time by sticking to motion games (VR and Switch) for exercise and multiplayer with my friends to make it a healthy hobby.

Topic: our favorite Beat-em-ups!

OctoRock (Adam) — Today at 9:46 AM

My three favorite non-TMNT bmups are The Simpsons arcade game, Battletoads and River City Ransom.

The Simpsons may actually beat out TMNT for me as far as the 4 player arcade experience goes. Just such a hilarious and well crafted game.

Battletoads speaks for itself, I’m not sure if it’s a full blown bmup because of the platforming and speeder bike levels, but they teamed up with Double Dragon so that’s gotta say something.

River City Ransom is probably the only oddball here. A great semi-obscure NES game that thankfully a lot of people are now aware of thanks to River City Girls. One of my favorite NES titles and up there with Battletoads for me.

the Well-Red Mage — Today at 9:50 AM

Shredders Revenge is AH MAH GAHHHHHHHH so good. A beat em up nobody gives enough love to is Fight N Rage. Seriously amazing.

ElPeeDee (Liam D) — Today at 10:09 AM

mine has to be Batman Returns for SNES. I loved the grabbing & throwing mechanics, breaking parts of the environment and the bat gadgets you could employ. the sprite art was gorgeous and, while I hadn't even seen the movie at that point, I loved the characters

twodollarhero — Today at 10:25 AM

For me, it’s Scott Pilgrim. It’s not the most mechanically dense beat-em-up, but I’ve come to realize that I prefer the River City Ransom approach of simpler gameplay, but a more fleshed out world with characters, shops, etc. Paul Robertson’s artwork is gorgeous and the soundtrack by Anamanaguchi is among the greatest in video game history, full stop.

CrazyGreekDre — Today at 10:51 AM

Turtles in time, Final fight both sNES and TMNT arcade game

ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 — Today at 11:47 AM

I’ll vouch for the Streets of Rage series. My favourite is SOR II, but I like them all. The sequel on the Nintendo Switch is great as well.

solo_something — Today at 12:00 PM

NARC. Still can see it in the arcade when closing my eyes.

SpiderShan — Today at 1:45 PM

The TMNT games are easy favorites but I have a couple others that are right up there for me. The first is the X-Men 4 player Arcade game. So many quarters with my friends at the small pizza joint in our town that had this cabinet. The second game I want to shout out is Death and Return of Superman on the SNES. This was a pretty great adaptation of the comic event and allowed you to play as all the various Supermen at the time (Superman, Superboy, Cyborg Superman, and Eradicator). I lost track of the amount of times I played through it wanting to relive the story.

WarriorofWASD — Today at 2:18 PM

I was a big fan of Jaleco's Final Fight knock off like Rival Turf. You could do a code that would let you edit all the bad guy's names: Butt Man, Turd Ferguson, Captain Urine...etc

Eric Plunk — Today at 9:37 PM

Late entry here! Have you heard the good word about Die Hard Arcade? I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it recently on the Sega Saturn. A seemingly endless amount of various weapons, moves, and 3D low-poly charm make this short but endlessly replayable gem must-play. The same could be said for it’s Dreamcast sequel Dynamite Cop. On a related note, has anyone tried Breakneck City on Switch? I’ve been curious about the Die Hard Arcade vibes it gives.

WarriorofWASD — Today at 9:31 AM

The Game Genie was known for some game altering codes that did ridiculous things to the game. There was a code for Street Fighter 2 where you could replace the Capcom logo with Balrog.
In Mortal Kombat 3 you could unlock a Space Invaders game where Kahn would say "You Suck" if you lost.

Growing up on the Nintendo, the first code I ever learned was the classic Konami code! It was the only way I could get through Contra and Life Force! Up up down down left right left right a b a b

neoprime33 — Today at 10:43 AM

I don't remember which magazine I got it from (NP or EGM), but this was one I used all the time, so I could build the city of my dreams in Sim City for the SNES (source: IGN)...

Easy Money

First spend all your money. Put the game on the fastest setting and wait for the tax grid to appear. As soon as the screen turns black hold L + R. While holding these buttons change all settings to 0% and exit the screen (don't release the buttons yet).

While still holding these buttons, use the menu to return to the tax screen. Raise all settings to 100% except for the tax rate. Set that to 20%. Exit the tax screen and the menu, then release L and R.

Congratulations! You now have $999,999. You might want to lower the tax rate now. Give those SimCitizens a break!

OctoRock (Adam) — Today at 10:55 AM

I always liked DK mode in Goldeneye. 🤣

Eric Plunk — Today at 12:46 PM

Unlocking various celebrities and developers in NBA Jam was awesome. The Beastie Boys vs Bill Clinton anyone?

Flightsy — Today at 1:22 PM

There’s a part of Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story called the Lunbar Nook where you are basically forced to take a break as Toadbert and Toadstool drink tea and listen to soft music. But if you talk to Toadbert BEFORE you go to the Lumbar Nook when it is made available, he tells you he had a dream about him having tea and time passing really slowly. He then says he heard the sound of ABXYLRYXBA being pressed to make time go at a normal speed. Doing this in the Lumbar Nook speeds up the wait time to a couple of seconds. You don’t have to talk to Toadbert to do this, the cheat works no matter how you learn of it. I found it in an old cheat book I got from my elementary school’s book fair!

PrestoTheMagnificent — Today at 2:43 PM

I love the “cheat codes” that just let you do ridiculous things. Lego Star Wars the complete saga comes to mind

hambone jonny — Today at 3:20 PM

My parents bought me a NES game genie in an attempt to delay getting me a SNES. Man I loved that thing.

DesolateSaturation — Today at 4:48 PM

The Scott pilgrim video game had a cheat that could indirectly get you infinite money. “To do the cheat, the player will need to be inside of a level, preferably away from enemies. This is best done with 2-players. Basically, the way the cheat works is that the player will input it and instantly die. Although when they die, they will drop $50. The second player can then pick up the money and revive the player to repeat the process. Players can get thousands of dollars within minutes without needing to do anything else. This is called the Noble Sacrifice.” (Screen rant)

The code for the cheat was:

PlayStation: Hold X and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Circle

Nintendo Switch: Hold B and press Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A

Using this cheat made getting achievements and leveling up characters you hadn’t used much require less grinding. That way you could play later stages with friends and not have one person stuck with a useless character.

The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle games. I haven't played much of them, but playing it gave me Mario vs DK vibes. You don't jump though so that makes it not really a platformer.

My favorites are Little Nightmares, Thomas Was Alone, Human Fall Flat, and Unravel.

I also think Forgotten Anne and Gris are worth checking out, but they’re more cool due to visual esthetic than gameplay.

Questions

ElPeeDee (Liam D)

not sure if this fits for a community couch but putting here in case anyone has any similar experiences...

so I FINALLY beat the 1st Resident Evil game (HD remake on Switch). In the past I've beaten RE2 on 64, RE4 on Gamecube, Code Veronica on Dreamcast, and Revelations on Wii U.

I'm glad I did it, it's something I've been meaning to play for a while. unlike those other games, I don't think I'll ever play RE1 again. there is just too much about it that seemed dumb/cheap, that I ultimately used a guide for the final 1/3 of the game

I currently own it for Gamecube, the DS remake (which lists for ~100$) and the digital Switch version. I'm thinking of selling at least the DS copy, if not the GC one as well.

TL; DR does anyone else have similar experiences where they finally played a backlog game theyve collected for a while and ultimately decided that they would sell that game after finishing it?

Fight Crab Fanatic — Today at 7:57 AM

What gameplay challenges irk you the most?

1. Boss
2. Give me cover fire while I hack into this computer
3. Escort mission
4. Operate a turret level
5. We can't move on until we clear the enemies in this room
6. Lock pick mini games
7. Quick time event

Show Topic

Topic: Controllers throughout history

Arcades:

Since whole cabinets were made for one game, truly unique controls could be tailored to a single game.

Joysticks and buttons became standard quickly, but button placement could vary.

Trackballs (Centipede, Marble Madness)

Dials (pong, arkanoid)

Steering wheels and pedals (like every racing game)

Light guns (like every arcade shooting game)

Rotating Joysticks (Ikari warriors and other SNK games)

DDR

Consoles(main):

Atari Joystick w/ 1 button

NES controller gives us the D-Pad
Genesis does 3 buttons for some reason.

4 face buttons on the SNES, another industry standard

Sony’s Dual shock Controller gives us dual analog, which becomes a gold standard for industry.

N64 Controller: it’s not that bad

Dreamcast: divisive. But ergonomic. I wish the stick was more grippy.

Gamecube: perfection (except that D-pad)

3rd party and peripherals:

Fightsticks - still tournament standard for most fighting games, esp. Street fighter.

HOTAS or Yoke (hands on throttle and stick) - flight sims
Light guns (NES Zapper, Master System, Super Scope)
Powerglove

Gameboy Tilt Controls
Microphone - N64, Gamecube

SNES Mouse (and N64 mouse for DD)

R.O.B.
Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc.

Alternative controllers (that you might play any game with)
NES - Max, advantage, dogbone

Genesis - 6 button

Playstation - the aforementioned dual shock

Community:Question: I wanna hear about the weirdest 3rd party controller you've ever used.

Fight Crab Fanatic — 03/28/2022

The Steam controller had a track pad instead of a right thumb stick. The pad had to be edited for every game on Steam. The trackpad had a cool haptic feedback

WondrousWill — 03/28/2022

I've used the Onimusha katana for PS2. I remember it somehow being better than I expected, but not good enough to use a 2nd time. Fortunately, it wasn't mine. It made for a very cool display piece, though.

SpiderShan — 03/28/2022

Do those Wii lightsaber Wiimote holders count? Not really controllers themselves. I’ve always wanted a DQ Slime controller.

ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 — 03/28/2022

I wouldn’t call it weird but I loved the NES Advantage growing up. It was the real arcade feeling that I enjoyed the most. The rapid fire A and B buttons were great as well. I would unleash a hail of fire balls playing any of the Mario games.

OctoRock (Adam) — 03/28/2022

This one is a little bit out there, and it might be a loose fit, but a family friend of ours in the ‘80s had a Captain Power set complete with the spaceships and multiple corresponding VHS tapes. It’s crazy to think about now, but the ships were basically equal parts toy and light gun controller that worked similarly to the NES Zapper. But there was no game console, the ships would interact with certain elements contained within the video playing from the VHS tapes. (I think there was also a TV show that aired that the ships could interact with, but I don’t think it lasted long).

The ships even had an action figure in the cockpit that would eject and fly across the room if you lost the mission.

Seems really archaic now, but as a 5 year old it was like magic.

Flightsy — 03/28/2022

I’m afraid I don’t have a fun story for this one. The only 3rd party controllers I’ve used are fake Gamecube controllers, where the only notable thing was that the analog stick wore out really quick.

SkinnyMatt — 03/29/2022

Epyx made a joystick. We used these for the C-64. It looks funny, but man was it comfortable. The button placement was great, and it was easy to hold. ESL orally good while playing Summer Games and Summer Games II on the Commodore. FYI, they made one for the NES too!

twodollarhero —
My love for the criminally underrated Codename STEAM is well documented at this point, but I’m constantly thinking about how good Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle was. Every time it comes up in conversation, it’s like a fever dream. That concept had no business being that good of a strategy game.

the Well-Red Mage —
FF Tactics, somedays my all-time favorite Final Fantasy ❤️

Fight Crab Fanatic —
Jeanne D'Arc for the PSP was really good (and unforgiving)
Mystaria Realms of Lore for the Sega Saturn

oops —
Tactics ogre and final fantasy tactics (my favorite game of all time)are the goats but a very underrated game I really enjoyed was arc the lad twilight of spirits on ps2.

ElPeeDee (Liam D) —
the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars GBA games are favorites of mine since I played them on my SP in the back of my college Economics classes (woops). in the broader strategy sense, i spent a lot of time playing the Command & Conquer series over the years and just started playing through Warcraft 2 again. I love base building and planning out offensives

Flightsy —
Does Pikmin count? I don’t really play tactics games, but they’ve always seemed interesting. Actually, this leads into a CCQ of my own! What are some good Strategy and Tactics games I could try out?

solo_something —
FE 3 houses. Love how it’s tactics and some drops of rpg running around the grounds as I complete quest, reunite missing items, and take time for a cup of tea; sometimes from what I planted. Also, helping a girl realize she doesn’t have to stay locked up in her room.

SpiderShan —
I have the most experience with Fire Emblem games which I first picked up on a whim on GameCube (Path of Radiance). Since then I’ve played nearly all the English released games in the series. I don’t mind the newer games like Three Houses, but I miss the older ones without the dating/marrying/kids stuff. My favorite strategy game is probably the original FF:Tactics. The GBA sequel was okay but I wasn’t crazy about the Law mechanics which bogged down the battles. I really want to get into Triangle Strategy one of these days!

Community Couch

Questions
Flightsy —
CCQ: How do you find good retro stores near you? I’ve tried looking it up and only stuff like Game stop and Disc Replay seems to come up.

(example: WWII games, Wrestling games, The DS Imagine Babysitters series)

oops — 03/19/2022
What’s a game you missed when it was new then revisited later and you could not believe how good it was?

Have you ever or would you ever buy a game that you know you cannot play right now, but buy it for the backlog (cause you want to play it eventually)? If so, do you have an example? If no, why not?

I am guessing this comes with buying retro games, but, I still wanted to ask the question. 🙂

Show Topic

Topic: Just Grind Radio / Jet Set Radio

Dreamcast

JP: June 29, 2000

NA: October 31, 2000

EU: November 24, 2000

• Personal Experiences

Fun Facts:

• The influence was drawn from late 1990s Japanese popular culture such as the rhythm game PaRappa the Rapper, and the anti-establishment themes in the film Fight Club.
• The team that made the Panzer Dragoon games.
• The development team consisted of fewer than 25 developers, with an average age of under 25.
• The game features graffiti by a variety of artists, including Eric Haze, who had designed album art for acts including the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy.
• They attempted to make the game impossible to duplicate on PlayStation 2 by pushing the Dreamcast limitations using bright colors, realistic shadows, and more than sixteen NPCs on-screen without lag that would have been impossible on PS2 due to its smaller memory.
• In North America, it was released on October 31 as Jet Grind Radio due to trademark problems for "Jet Set" in the United States at the time.

Question: I saw @Dan - RetroLogic mention his wife isn’t into gaming, with gaming seemingly a big part of your life how’s that work? Do you ever feel judged for it? Does she try? If this isn’t something you want to talk about on the pod I understand. Just curious the dynamic. And for the others on the pod how do their significant others do with their gaming hobby?

Topic: World Of Warcraft, and legacy content in online games.

Andross —

I'm still sad the world of warcraft basically killed regular Warcraft.

I would have loved to get more RTS games in that series.

twodollarhero —

I’m a dyed in the wool WoW fan, my dad and I beta tested that game. Played religiously for YEARS, finally dropped off after Pandaria.

When it comes to legacy content, I actually think WoW should get more credit. WoW Classic is such a cool idea and it’s bundled with the subscription you already have.

oops —

With the popular WoW classic do you think we will see more of this for other online games?

Flightsy

CCQ: So about that Nintendo direct…. How has the direct changed your financial plans this year? What are you most and least excited about? What is your hottest take about the direct?

Show Topic

(Game Highlight, News Highlight, Discussion topic)

Topic: The legacy of the Turbographx-16

Fast facts:

• The console has an 8-bit CPU and a dual 16-bit graphics processing unit (GPU)
• It was released in Japan in 1987 and in North America in 1989.

• In Japan, the PC Engine was very successful. It gained strong third-party support and outsold the Famicom at its 1987 debut, eventually becoming the Super Famicom's main rival.

• Dan Played:

• Bomberman Panic Bomber
• Super Darius
• Bonks Revenge
• New Adventure Island
• Soldier Blade

Community Comments:

Flightsy —

Unfortunately, I have no experience with the TurboGrafx-16. I CAN tell you it's been used on Price is Retro in Season 1 seven times (5 by @Dan - RetroLogic and 2 by @Datfast ). The add-on TG-CD has been used only once (by @16bitwar-nomad), but it was used 4 episodes before the regular TG-16!

OctoRock (Adam) —

In 3rd and 4th grade I had a friend who had both a TurboGrafx and a Sega Genesis, so playing at his house was my first introduction to both of those systems. He only had a few TurboGrax games, Bonk’s Adventure and a couple others I have no memory of because we almost never played it since the Genesis just seemed better in every conceivable way.

oops —

I remember one kid had it at my school and he would always try and tell us how bonk was better than Mario or sonic. No one believed him. Even in high school we would remind him of his bad taste on the playground.

Community Couch Questions:

Flightsy —

Community Couch question: on last week’s podcast you were talking about how the Pokémon franchise hasn’t changed much, and that it releasing a game almost every year was decreasing the quality of each game. I noticed that the Kirby franchise also doesn’t change much, and releases games almost every year. Yet, it doesn’t get as much derision as the Pokémon franchise. What do you think the difference is?

Community Couch Questions:

oops:

What’s a fair price for Plok? Price charting shows it at $25. It doesn’t seem like the Plok market has recovered from Ploktober, because all the listings I find are in the $30 range? That brings me to the question for the couch. How long do you think impacts like this last on the markets of specific games? Can they change a standard game price long term?

Fight Crab Fanatic:

If you had the power to veto one game from being published which one would it be

1. Leisure Suit Larry in Mario World
2. Nintenskunks
3. Superman 64 HD remaster (no changes to gameplay or controls)
4. Dr. Mario Surgery Simulator
5. Donkey Kong Dating Sim

(Game Highlight, News Highlight, Discussion topic)

Topic: Treasure

Retrospective article up on the blog!

Questions to discuss:
What makes Treasure’s games special to you? How did you discover them?
-interesting mechanics
-challenge
-dope boss battles

How could Treasure have stayed more relevant in the game industry in the 5th generation (Saturn, N64, PS1)? Was the Sega Saturn the problem?
-critically, if not commercially
-output was primarily for the saturn, then n64. Playstation only got Rakugaki showtime, which was pulled due to legal issues, and the inferior (?) port of silhouette mirage

Did Treasure get “left behind” by modern games? Did they have to? Is their “old school” mentality part of what makes them special?
-stretch panic was their first fully 3D game, and it shows
-uncompromising difficulty, focus on mechanics and action over story/immersion
Did they lose their way in making sequels?
-Ikaruga was the last game not based on an existing property, and even it started development as a sequel to radiant silvergun
-gaist crusher is actually an exemption, but that was a collab with capcom
-always kept the team small and were largely unconcerned with sales

What would you like to see Treasure do to make a comeback?
-The company does still exist with Masato Maegawa, the founder as president, though some staff has left
-They did work on the Nicalis port of Ikaruga for switch/ps4 in 2018
-Iuchi, left in 1995, came back in 1997 to make radiant silvergun and ikaruga, left again in 2006. Was last seen working on a spiritual successor to ikaruga called ubusuna, targeting a release by the end of the PS4’s life….

What's a gaming fact that makes you feel old?

Flightsy — Yesterday at 10:30 AM
Community Couch question to go with my Spot the Fake list: Have you ever played any fan games or ROM hacks? I have fond memories of playing Mario fan games on the computer at school, right along with Cool-Math Games. There were some super good ones, like Super Mario 63, but most were really bad. A lot of them used the Super Mario All-Star sprites (the ones used for SMB and Lost Levels), which I believe has actually ruined the art style for me! However, those were just browser games. I haven’t really played many ROM Hacks, but looking at them they seem really cool.

Show Topic

Topic: Half Life

Releases: Half-Life, was released on November 19, 1998 for Windows
November 16, 2004, Valve released Half-Life 2.
Half-Life 2 was the first game to use Valve's Steam content delivery system
Episode One was released on June 1, 2006
Episode Two was released for Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on October 10, 2007 as part of the compilation The Orange Box.
Valve released Half-Life: Alyx, a virtual reality (VR) game, on March 23, 2020, for Windows.

Hal-Life Developement:
According to designer Harry Teasley, Doom was a major influence, and the team wanted Half-Life to "scare you like Doom did".
According to designer Brett Johnson, the level design was inspired by environments in the manga series Akira.
By September 1997, the team found that while they had built some innovative aspects in weapons, enemies, and level design, the game was not fun and there was little design cohesion.[16] The company postponed the release and reworked every level.
They also produced a 30-page document for the narrative, and hired science fiction novelist Marc Laidlaw to help manage the script.[11][16] Laidlaw said his contribution was to add "old storytelling tricks" to the team's ambitious designs: "I was in awe of [the team]. It felt to me like I was just borrowing from old standards while they were the ones doing something truly new."[

Half Life 2 Developement:
Valve announced Half-Life 2 at E3 2003, with demonstrations of the characters, animation, and physics. The reaction was positive, and the game won the E3 Game of the Show award.[8] Newell also announced a release date, September 30, 2003
Rumors spread of a delay, but Valve made no announcement until September 23, when they released a statement targeting a "holiday" release, leading to fan backlash.
In early October, the Half-Life 2 source code was leaked online by a German hacker, Axel Gembe, who had infiltrated Valve's internal network months earlier. A week later, a playable version of Half-Life 2 was compiled from the source code, revealing how unfinished it was.
In 2004, the development team returned after Christmas to long hours, stressful working conditions, and no guarantee that the game, which was costing $1 million a month to develop, would be finished soon.

Eric Plunk — Today at 11:55 AM
Like many other PC games of the era, I enjoyed Half Life 1 & 2 vicariously through one of my best friends who always had the latest and greatest video cards. Half Life felt very much like the beginning of in engine cinematic storytelling and Half Life 2 built on that. Unfortunately the home console versions of these games didn’t live up to the original releases so I haven’t played through them on my own to this day. I need to acquire The Orange Box collection for my HL2 fix.

Questions
Eric Plunk — 12/10/2021
Before you started collecting, when is the last time you remember playing a NES or other console? For me I remember playing one of the Sharp TV’s with a NES built in at a friend’s apartment around 2002. Punch Out was the main game I remember playing.

what was the first experience you remember in a video game where you had a feeling of "...should I be watching this?" or "I hope mom doesn't walk in right now 👀 "

Flightsy
This one is kinda tough to answer. I’m not sure I’ve ever played a game that was “mature” in that way, and nowadays I’m too old to be shocked by it if I did. I remember Mom thought Super Smash Bros Brawl was distastefully violent, but I remember thinking she was being ridiculous, especially compared to what else was out there.

Also SMG4 on youtube

Oops
I had that moment when I was in college. I came home for Christmas vacation already 60+ hours into persona 3 and never really noticed anything until my mom came into talk to me and was like are they shooting themselves in the head. It never crossed my mind until that moment.

BintendoMan89
I don’t have memory of feeling like I shouldn’t play or see something in gaming. My parents were surprisingly open about games and let me play a lot of things. My dad had a decent NES and Genesis collection growing up. I was born in 90 and had access to Mortal Kombat 3 on genesis, and Cliff Hanger, played them heavy and the violence or blood was never an issue. The first time I remember it being and issue for my family was the South Park game on N64, my mom wouldn’t let me rent it. But when I did play it at a friends I didn’t feel like I shouldn’t be.

Solo_something
My first experience of seeing true violence I felt was playing Mortal Kombat when it first came out. It was not my thing so went back to Street Fighter. Can’t recall skimpily dressed ladies; just know it was later. It was not shocking as already had the kid experience of finding my dad’s Playboy mag with Madonna in it when I was a youngster in the 80’s, lol. Most of my “parented” video game years were Atari and NES so by material alone it was a sheltered time in video games.

hambone jonny
Mortal Kombat is a great call out. I agree. My parents let me rent it, but weren’t all to happy about it when they saw it on the tv. I’d say another would be Wrestemania 2000. With the female wrestlers, def had a few moments where is was like, “hope mom doesn’t walk in!!”

Llaffer
I don't remember having that feeling when I was at home, but the first game I remember playing as an adult with young kids that I thought that I should only play this when they are in bed was Dante's Inferno (PS3).

ChrisHL94
As a teenager I had a PC copy of a Leisure Suit Larry game that I was worried my parent would walk in on me playing.

Eric Plunk
I never had that moment growing up. Mortal Kombat II was probably the only M rated game I had growing up. Fatalities were such a pain to pull of that there wasn’t much danger of my parents seeing anything risqué. It was more of a challenge in the PS3/Xbox era to play M rated games around my daughter’s sleep/school schedule.

ElPeeDee (Liam D
my grandma saw me playing Duke Nukem 3D on my family's PC and told my mom I was looking at porn

Adr0ck
I never ended up playing it but every time I went to Outback Video I would always sneak a peek at “Bubble Bath Babes” for the NES.

SpiderShan
Mortal Kombat just because my parents told me they wouldn’t approve even though I hadn’t asked. Of course my friend and I then had to try it. We were already 13 when it came out so we had already seen worse in R rated movies he got his older sister to rent us. My buddy got really into it and could do all the fatalities but I wasn’t that good at it. Even though I couldn’t have the game, we did somehow end up with Killer Instinct (still don’t recall how we got it) and I always made sure to look around to see if someone was watching when doing Orchid’s move where she flashes her opponent. You didn’t see anything but it was very obvious what she was doing.

Rare Replay:
Xbox One - August 4, 2015

The development team consisted of four recent graduates, though it expanded at times to seven concurrent staff. Martin Wakeley became the game's lead designer. He credited the team's small size for their easy progression from planning to market.

The Mario Kart 64 "power slide" drift mechanics inspired that of Blast Corps's dump truck. Wakeley championed the drift controls against the rest of the team, who found them aggravating.

Thunderfuist was designed without an arm because the developers had run out of computer memory to store the data and liked the look anyway.

Blast Corps's Japanese and American quality assurance teams later competed to push the levels to their limits, which resulted in the game's platinum level objectives.

So I know this is super last minute and will totally understand if it's too late to make it into this week's show. However. Today is the 20th anniversary of the OG Xbox and so, naturally, ya boy is here thinking about JSRF.

Have any of y'all ever played a game that you felt like you just connected with DEEPLY after playing it? I don't even mean emotionally necessarily. Like the game was made specifically for you, your vibes, your interests, even if you didn't know it?
I didn't play Jet Grind Radio when it first came out or anything. So playing JSRF was like a tidal wave of vibrancy and energy that I just immediately resonated with. The world of Tokyo-to, the music, the attitude. It was 100% what I was looking for and I didn't even know it.

Topic: Halo 2
Release: November 9, 2004
Halo 2 is the best-selling first-generation Xbox game, with more than 8 million copies sold worldwide.

A troubled development and time constraints forced cuts to the scope of the game, including the wholesale removal of a more ambitious multiplayer mode, and necessitated a cliffhanger ending to the game's campaign mode.
Jason Jones, who had been exhausted shipping Combat Evolved, similarly burned out during Halo 2's production. Jones left the project to work on another Bungie game, Phoenix
Bungie cofounder Alex Seropian left Bungie in 2002, causing additional friction and politics in the workplace where Seropian had once mediated tensions.

Initially, Combat Evolved's multiplayer was supposed to involve larger maps and player counts than what shipped, and members of the team wanted to resurrect those plans for Halo 2.
Local multiplayer VS warfare mode

After the E3 2003 demonstration, much of what the team had been working on for 2 years had to be scrapped.
Other bungie projects such as Pheonix were scrapped and teams moved over to Halo 2 to finish the project.
Many planned elements, including the entire 3rd act of the story were scrapped.
At one point, Microsoft executives had a vote over whether to force Bungie to ship the incomplete game, or give them another year of development time. Microsoft Studios head Ed Fries walked out of the vote and threatened to resign to get Bungie the extra time.

Missing the Xbox's last holiday season before its successor console, the Xbox 360, shipped was not an option.[17] To hit its new November 9, 2004 release date, Bungie went into the "mother of all crunches" in order to finish the game.

Show Topic
(Game Highlight, News Highlight, Discussion topic)

Topic: The history of game remakes

Remaster: same assets, improved resolution and mechanics. (example is GTA: The Trilogy)
Remake: re-built from the ground up, same story and game elements.
(Example Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (Nov 19th))

Super Mario All-Stars
Alien Syndrome
Link’s Awakening
Advance Wars and Advance Wars 2
Blaster Master - BM Zero
Star Fox 64 3D
Star Fox (reboot or remake?)

Final Fantasy 7 Remake
A Boy and His Blob
Bionic Commando
-Fire emblem: New mystery of the emblem (remake and sequel)
-so many on the GBA: Super mario advance series, Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland,, Metroid Zero Mission

the Well-Red Mage —
NES Maniac Mansion, rehauled for NES, heavily censored, dialogue changed, humor changed, accompanied by music for the first time, very different from the preceding versions

Fight Crab Fanatic —
Does anyone remember Metal Gear Solid Twin Snakes for GC? It was loved by critics, but completely forgotten. The Resident Evil remake got more love.

ChrisHL94 🇨🇦 —
Unless you count the Ocarina of Time remastered and the Master Quest on 3DS I don’t really have one.

Andross —
Oh wait I changed my mind my favorite is definitely Pokemon Heart Gold Soul Silver

Adr0ck —
Has Zero Mission been mentioned yet? Because that game is doooope.

Eric Plunk —
Ninja Gaiden Trilogy

Flightsy —
Kirby's Dream Land (KDL) hasn't ever been officially remade, but it's been reimagined a few times. In Kirby's Adventure, the final level before the final boss is an homage to KDL. In Kirby Super Star, the first game mode spring breeze is also an homage to KDL. Both Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star got their own remakes: Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land and Kirby Super Star Ultra respectively. Ultra even adds Revenge of the King, which reimagines Kirby's Dream Land's Extra Game (Basically hard mode). Finally, Kirby's Blowout Blast is a reimagining of KDL in 3D.

SpiderShan —
@the Well-Red Mage stole my Maniac Mansion answer which I was just talking about yesterday on the Nintendo Pals discord lol. Another fairly early one was the Gameboy versions of Dragon Warrior 1, 2, and 3.

GalaxyWolf —
So this isn’t an “early” remake, but Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are some of my favorite games in the series, and I think they get a lot of unwarranted hate for not being completely identical to the original GBA games.

Show Topic

Topic: Early open world games and their influence on the industry.

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition
Switch | PS4 | PS5 | Xbox One | Xbox Series X|S | PC
Thursday Nov 11, 2021

The first truly “open world non linier” game is highly disputed due to the definition of open world being so broad.
But the most common examples are:
Jet Rocket, a 1970 Sega electro-mechanical arcade game that, while not a video game, predated the flight simulator genre to give the player free roaming capabilities
DND, a 1975 text-based adventure game for the PLATO system that offered non-linear gameplay.

Other early examples of open world gameplay
(we obviously can’t name all of them here. But here are some notable examples):

• Hydlide (1984) and The Legend of Zelda (1986) were among the first open-world games, along with Ultima.
  Sierra On-Line's 1992 adventure game King's Quest VI has an open world; almost half of the quests are optional, many have multiple solutions, and players can solve most in any order.
  The DMA Design (Rockstar North) game Body Harvest (1998)
  Mario 64 VS Banjo Kazooie.
  Ocarina of Time

3rd Generation Open “City” games:
(1997) Grand Theft Auto, (1999) GTA2
Sega's adventure Shenmue (1999) the originator of the "open city" subgenre,[70] touted as a "FREE" ("Full Reactive Eyes Entertainment") game giving players the freedom to explore an expansive sandbox city with its own day-night cycles, changing weather, and fully voiced non-player characters going about their daily routines. The game's large interactive environments, wealth of options, level of detail and the scope of its urban sandbox exploration has been compared to later sandbox games like Grand Theft Auto III and its sequels, Sega's own Yakuza series, Fallout 3, and Deadly Premonition.
Midnight Club: Street Racing (2000)
GTA3 Launch on PS2 - 22 October 2001

Questions of the week:

Question for the couch: Have you ever bought a digital game on a whim and regretted it immediately?

Flightsy:
Question for the couch: What’s something you think the other two @Hosts would be surprised to learn about you?

Flightsy:
Another question: considering the recently revealed price for the NSO expansion, do you think the price is justified, and will the new N64 and Genesis games still be considered “accessible” enough for Retro Rewind?

Question of the week

Flightsy:
I have a question I desperately need the @Hosts to answer. I hope it’s not too personal, but I think that answering this question could give the season 2 opener the spark it deserves, and start a conversation that may stretch for the whole of the Retro Logic Future: What would you do for a Klondike Bar

Eric Plunk
If you were limited to only collecting for one system, which would it be and why?

solo_something
Our community couch so anything, ok!
Would Ridley, Waluigi, Andross (not discord brother but Star Fox series), Ganondorf, and Porky Minch make a great Nintendo Legion of Doom? Who would be in charge?

TheAmbassador — Today at 11:54 AM
My question for all retro collectors: how do you give your massive game library the time and attention it needs to enjoy it or do you have to just let things stay on a shelf for years?

SpiderShan — Today at 6:30 PM
Quick question for the couch…when you were growing up did you read the game manual before popping in your new game? (I miss game manuals)

• To give the gameplay a more "gentle and relaxed pacing", the levels lack time limits and feature more exploration elements than previous games; Yoshi's flutter jump also makes him easier to control in the air than Mario.
• Newly hired artist Hisashi Nogami created the game's unique marker-drawn style.
• • Later, Nogami went on to produce the Animal Crossing series, Splatoon series, and directed development of the Wii's Mii Channel. He also offered vital support to game featuring Miis.
• The graphics were achieved by drawing them by hand, digitally scanning them, and then approximating them pixel-by-pixel.
• Partway into the development of Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country was released, which resulted in its computer-generated graphics becoming the norm for contemporary SNES games. It was too late for the graphic designers to incorporate such a style into Yoshi's Island; instead, they pushed the hand-drawn style further as a way to "fight back".
• Super FX2 chip usage.
• • Examples of chip-powered effects include 3D drawbridges falling into the foreground, sprites that are able to dynamically rotate and change size, and a psychedelic undulating effect when Yoshi touches floating fungi.
• the game has sold over four million copies worldwide

Question of the week

dewboy212:

So I wanted to ask you guys what you thought modern game creators biggest failures were? And if you felt there was a superiority between old and new games? I asked this because sometimes I feel like some companies don't utilize as much of the technology as they could. This is evident where you have truly great games ( fallen order) but you KNOW they still are held back by a companies reluctance to implement every possible avenue in development.

(Side note, perhaps it's stating that, when old games came out, they generally added something new to the table. They didn't generally henge on gimmicks to sell products and really only got by because they released a new version every year. Maybe modern game developers crutch is, that they have so much technology that they can release a game without having to push an envelope to it's extreme. Or maybe its just that, with every game sticking to a $60 price tag, there's truly no use to sell a game better than anyone else, if you don't actually get compensated.)

Question of the week

Nicktendo (burgerbuns gamer): Do ya'll prefer emulation over original hardware when PLAYING games?

I’ve noticed this year that Ive leaned more to emulating even though I own the hardware of the game. Maybe it’s the dad in me thinking I dont have time to hook everything up and troubleshoot if something doesnt work lol

OH Another question: With Halloween coming up, are there any games ya'll routinely play around this time of year?!? Mine are Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Castlevania SotN

SoloSomething: Do you have any specific life event or memory that you can point to that got you into gaming?

What game, old or new, did you try but didn’t care for the first time you played it. But now want to give another try to see if your opinion has changed?

ElPeeDee (Liam D)

What is the next game on your list that's most likely to be a big splurge purchase?

GalaxyWolf

What’s a game that you wish you played (or played more) a long time ago? For me it’d be Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. I played it back when it came out and I loved it, but for some reason I stopped playing around world 3. I’d really love to return to it someday.

monkeker

Does this ever happen to you? Sometimes when I play digital games I don’t feel motivated to finish them. When I play physical games, I’m more motivated to finish them.

Weta/Heritage Auction - fraud

Video by Karl Jobst on Youtube.
“Exposing fraud and deception in the video game market”

Story:
In 2017 - Sealed Super Mario Bros NES sells for $30K.

In 2019 - Sealed Super Mario Bros NES sells for $100K.
In 2020 - “Rally” a fractional share company bought the game for $140K
In 2021 - The exact same game sells for $2 million.

• Weta Games is a rating company, that will give your collectable games a grade based on condition, and seal the game in hard plastic to preserve it. Theoretically, the higher the “grade” given by the company, the more valuable it will be. These companies take a percentage of the projected value of the game it’s rating as a fee.

• Heritage Auctions is the auction website where all of the “record breaking” video game sales are taking place. ALL of them. And they charge a 20% buyers premium on every sale. So if you actually bought a game for $1mil, you’d owe the auction house $200K. Plus they taker 5% from the seller.

So if these 2 companies were in any way connected, it would be a massive conflict of interest.

VGA has been grading games since 2008 and they didn’t have this kind of impact on the market. Because they didn’t manipulate the market.

The ONLY reason Wata had this impact is because of it’s games being sold for millions at Heritage Auctions. And Heritage Auctions ONLY sells video games rates by Wata.

The Founder of Wata Games is Deniz Kahn
- He is quoted in a press release “Wata certified games have been selling at record prices ever since Heritage started selling them”
- Deniz appeared on the show ‘Pawn Stars’ many times overvaluing the price of his sealed games.
- Deniz on multiple occasions (articles, press releases) pumping up the value of SPECIFICALLY Wata rated games.

The Founder of Heritage Auctions is Jim Halperin.
- Jim is listed on the Wata website as an advisor. And is an investor in the company.
- Jim is one of the purchasers of the Sealed SMB game for $100K. Purchased from Heritage Auctions.

“So what you have here is the chairman of the auction house buying a game for a record price, and then creating a press release about his own purchase, in which himself, and the president of the grading company are stating that the value of games is going up”
- And the press ate it up.

Who is buying the games?
- The identities of these huge sales are kept secret.
- Heritage auctions never tell you who the buyers are, or even if money was exchanged at all.

Eric Niaman:

• Dentist called “worlds most avid video game collector” by articles.
• He started collecting in 2019.
• Articles falsely stating that Eric bought the games, but he wasn’t using his own money. It was a trust fund.

“It’s not collectors that are buying any of these games. It’s purely people with a lot of money, trying to scam other people out of theirs, by manufacturing a bubble that otherwise shouldn’t exist.”

It gets deep:
- Multiple accounts of shill bidding (fake bids to drive up prices)

• Employees confessing to manipulation of the market by posting and buying their own item for higher and higher prices. If there’s “sales data” then people will believe it.
• Proof of Wata fraud related to the “Carolina Collection” - According to an SCC filing, the purchaser of this collection, who also had the collection rated by Wata and sold much of it through Heritage, is a director at Wata. HUGH conflict of interest. (Jeff Meyer)

• Proof of wild inconsistencies in Wata’s game ratings. (re-grading)

• Jim Halperin involved in the 80s coin bubble. He was found guilty of intentionally mis-rating coins, and was fined $2mil.

What can we do?
Call for Wata to release a ‘Population Report’ to tell us how many of what games they have rated. Wata has not released this info.
Tell them to release the population report:

Aftermath Discussion.

Different publisher in each region. Examu in japan, Atlus in NA, Bigben in EU.

Only non-portable installment in the series to be released outside Japan.

Technically a Remake of the second game in the series, Dokapon 3・2・1 – Arashi o Yobu Yuujou for the super Famicom.Initially received “mixed reviews”

Series is alive and well in Japan on switch with Dokapon Up! Mugen no Roulette, a crossover with the Utawarerumono series (visual novel/tactics rpg) released December 10, 2020.

Why it is awesome:
You can “prank” players you defeat and draw on their face or change their name
Aliens abduct you but then raise your stats
Robo-assassin will kill for hire
There’s a whole job system: try to unlock hero and robo-knight!

GrimLeaper

Anyone have any thoughts/insight/information on Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls? I tried the Contra game on iOS and wasn’t feeling it.

(It has been confirmed for iOS, tvOS, and Mac, and the release date is listed as 'soon')

Ashewalked

You've probably already talked about something like this but one question that comes to mind is this: As a kid, I grew up playing the Sega Genesis and one of my favorite games was Streets of Rage (especially 2). The recent release of Streets of Rage 4 was so so good and I couldn't be happier with the results. They gave me a modern take on the genre but in a way that respected and called back to the originals in so many ways. What is a retro game or series you would like to see return with a faithful sequel like Streets of Rage 4?

Mechadragon101M

what's a game that you grew up with that not alot of other people free up with or others didn't like?

Dan

@didyouknowgamin

called the PS2 "possibly one of the greatest consoles to ever grace the market"

Now, it's no secret that I'm pretty down on the console. Just my opinion.

But can anyone name something about the PS2 that would warrant this title BESIDES it's lifetime sales?

Solo Something

I am curious how do you all balance your game time between the retro games each of you pick up each month with the Switch games that come out?

Chrishl94

Question for the community; favourite collection available now on Switch?

Here’s a question for everyone…what do you prefer when collecting…games that are CIB or not? Do you prefer games with manuals or without? Or are you a “loose” character who takes carts and discs as they are? I prefer games that are CIB but for NES and N64 I’ll collect just the carts.

Question of the week

• Why isn’t there a MODERN Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy video game???

• monkeker

Do you do anything to protect your collection? (Using box protectors, insuring your collection, dusting your collection, etc.)

Nicktendo [BurgerBuns Gamer]

Are theyre any off the wall combinations of things that a game will remind you of?

For example: Super Mario 64 will ALWAYS remind me of Apple Jacks cereal at my best friend's house on Saturday mornings. Even though it only happened one time lol

Or TMNT on NES reminds me of my brother and I sharing a room at an apartment complex playing it at night with the window open, a Nintendo Poster on the wall and a Big Foot Pizza from Pizza Hut lol

again, that only happened like... once. Maaaaybe twice lol

Andross

@Dan - RetroLogic What's your favorite Speedrun to watch? Or in other words: What games have the coolest speedruns to you?

Mechadragon101

what are some games you think a retro collector is essentially required to buy and own ?! You can suggest for any console you want.

Nicktendo [BurgerBuns Gamer]

Also, whats your favorite cover of a song from a video game?

Question of the week

16bitnomad —

Got a good question for everyone…what’s your biggest pet peeve about buying retro games?? (Other than the price!!!)

Mine has to be the placement of pricing stickers. They can be placed on the cartridge artwork, over another sticker on a case, not even be a sticker but a marker, and it just drives me up the wall. I will pick up some retro stuff and when I get home the first thing I do is break out a razer blade and the alcohol and go to cleaning.

twodollarhero —

if I can’t trust a store to authenticate their product, don’t gripe at ME for wanting to authenticate it before I buy.

I’ve straight up brought a triwing with me into a shop before to ask if I could authenticate a cart before buying. If you’re confident that you’re selling authentic games, what’s the problem?

SpiderShan —

It’s not a huge thing in the grand scheme of things but my pet peeve is buying a game or system online and receiving it really dusty/dirty. Like, can’t you at least drag a cloth across it to remove a little dust?!?

Eric Plunk —

Outdated prices on games that they look prices up on once they’re brought up to the register. Nothing will make me walk out faster.

InfiniteBlue —

I used to spend summer Saturdays biking to garage sales around my city to look for games, but in the last 4-5 years it's gotten insane with resellers, craigslist hawks, and ravenous collectors buying up anything worthwhile literally as soon as they open.

Question of the week

Flightsy — 06/22/2021

What is a game that you think misrepresents its own franchise? Sorry, I had a hard time phrasing this question, so it's prolly a bit confusing. Maybe an example might help. For me I would say Kirby Star Allies. Although I have issues with Star Allies, I don't think it's a bad game. I picked it because I feel that it makes the Kirby franchise, or at least the modern Kirby games, seem a lot more "Kiddie" than it actually is, and because it's the main Kirby game on switch I feel that it has spread this impression to a lot of people. It's very tempting for me to write down a full lecture on why I think that is right here, but I think that's enough for you all to hopefully get an idea of what I mean by the question.

InfiniteBlue — 06/23/2021

The Devil May Cry franchise has two of these. The first of which is the DmC reboot, which was so tonally discordant with the rest of the series with its edgelord "hollywood-ification" of the plot and characters. It's a decent action game mechanically and would have been well received if they simply... didn't call it DmC.

Then there's DMC2, which is a dull and bad video game by any measure. You'd be doing yourself a favor by going straight from 1 to 3, it's that unremarkable.

twodollarhero — 06/23/2021

I think a lot of the more recent Super Monkey Ball games are a good example of this. I’ve been playing SMB2 again lately (because I’m so hyped for Banana Mania) and bouncing from that (no pun intended) to something like Banana Blitz HD is a jarring experience.

The more modern entries of the series - which vastly outnumber what fans consider to be the “good” games - totally misrepresent what the games are about. Suddenly, there’s jumping mechanics and every level is littered with guard rails or worst of all, control gimmicks. The series is about fun, challenging arcade gameplay with pitch perfect controls… and most of the games in the series at this point aren’t about that anymore.

SpiderShan — 06/23/2021

I guess I’d have to go with Tales of Symphonia Dawn of the New World for Wii. There are quite a few “Tales of” games and spin-offs and Tales of Symphonia for GameCube is considered one of the best. I know it’s my favorite in the series. I was hyped to play the sequel but they decided to change a lot of the gameplay including the use of monsters in place of human companions. You play as characters completely unrelated to the original game and the characters that I loved from the first game were “guest characters” in the sequel that would come and go and were a hollow shell of what they were before. It’s such a departure from what made the original so special.

ChrisHL94Rewind 🇨🇦 — Yesterday at 10:47 AM

This question is going to sound a little grumpy old Dad, but @everyone; what game franchise made a really great game but couldn’t capture the greatness of the first game in any of the sequels?

Bionic Commando for the NES comes to mind.InfiniteBlue — Yesterday at 3:02 PM

Not one game, but the Super Monkey Ball franchise fits this bill perfectly after Amusement Vision folded. Everything after 1/2/Deluxe is a colossal drop in quality.

Other than that I'd probably go with Ninja Gaiden (3D series). The sequels felt like incomplete portions of the visions they were going for, the first is the only one that feels cohesive.

Datfast — Yesterday at 3:13 PM

I hate to do it but I think we can throw Sonic in there.

At least Sonic Teams efforts anyway.

Question of the week

InfiniteBlue — 06/02/2021

Here's a question for everyone:

What's a game that had RNG (aka random chance) greatly affect your experience with it, for better or for worse?

RNG has been on my mind a lot lately as I've recently finished 100%ing Pokemon Stadium 2. There were countless instances where my strategy would have completely shut down the CPU opponents, only to be foiled by a convenient string of bad luck to give the CPU a cheesy win.

On the flip side, that same RNG was enormously satisfying the times when it went my way, giving me a fighting chance using the underpowered rental Pokemon. There were a couple times in the Challenge Cup where a timely critical or miss was the only way to even reach a winnable state.

Flightsy — 06/02/2021

For my Kirby’s Dream Land letsplay (yes I know I won’t shut up about it), for the 1 vitality 1 life run, trying to beat Kabula was practically up to RNG. She fires so fast it’s impossible to consciously predict, so I had to rely on muscle memory built up over months and luck. I’d say that effected my experience.

Sam: XCOM 2, Crusader kings 2, 3, Fire emblem

Iron man mode really forces a different way of playing. They should add that to fire emblem!

hambone jonny — 06/04/2021

If this hasn’t already been asked, what are some of your favorite “continue” screens? Street Fighter 2 with the character’s face all pummeled in comes to mind for me.

solo_something — 06/04/2021

That one comes into my mind as well and Kid Icarus running across the sky ridge thing and shooting up at your score

16bitnomad — 06/04/2021

Question of the week

16bitnomad — 05/28/2021

Saw this on another forum and thought it would be an interesting one for everyone here…what’s an embarrassing video game confession?? One of mine is I actually liked Too Human for the 360.

twodollarhero — 05/28/2021

I’ve talked about this in a few different places and it’s been my cross to bear for decades now. My biggest “confession” or guilty pleasure is my unironic appreciation for Superman 64.

It’s indefensible. I cannot justify it. The game is awful. But when it came out, I loved it. It let me be Superman, and that was good enough for me. That’s the beginning and end of my argument for the game. It makes no earthly sense, but I cannot bring myself to hate it.

Flightsy — 05/28/2021

Everyone says Skyward sword was too handholdy, but I remember when I got it from the library I got stuck

JasonLee — Yesterday at 8:44 AM

I remember getting stuck very early in the Deku Tree in OoT. I mean like 30 minutes of being stuck. I’m not certain but I think I didn’t realize fire would burn the spider webs until I did it by accident.

txtrey — Yesterday at 8:50 AM

I rented oot, got stuck at the same place in the deku tree for the whole 5 days of the rental. Never went back to the game after that

I played OoT the day it released in ‘98. I had played Zelda 2 on NES and Link to the Past on SNES before that but OoT was altogether different.

ChrisHL94Rewind 🇨🇦 — Yesterday at 10:21 PM

I used to play football games with my friends and no matter what the console I would find the worst way to lose.

A close second has to be how much I suck at first person shooter games like Halo or Gears of War.

Question of the week

Spidershan:

Here’s a question. What’s everyone’s thoughts on replacing a cartridge’s game label? If a game is legit, and runs well, but the label was written on or torn is it okay to replace it? When is or isn’t it okay? If I’m keeping the game for my collection I realize it’s fine, but what if I decide to sell it later? I’ve passed on a couple games at my local for bad game labels but have picked up a few gb/GBC/gba games lately online that have worn or faded labels. I was able to get a better deal due to this. So far the games all work well so I’ve thought about getting replacement labels.

Eric Plunk

Personally I can’t live with having an unoriginal label but that’s just my preference. I think it’s fine to do as long as you mention that it’s a repro label when selling.

ElPeeDee (Liam D)

my main concern has been, if I ever sell, not knowing which I replaced. I'd be open to a replacement if the label was illegible though

twodollarhero

All boils down to personal preference! I like the original stuff myself, and I'm willing to pay more for it if necessary. But do what you're comfortable with for your own collection!

twodollarhero

Here’s something I’ve been thinking about lately. What is everyone’s stance on playing fan emulated/translated versions of games that haven’t been localized or made readily available officially? I don’t normally like to play anything aside from 100% legit and official, but there are some games cough Mother 3 cough that I’d really love to play. I feel morally weird about it.

@martyestes

Mega Man or Mega Man X, and why Mega Man?

John

Name a game that needed an Easy Mode. Name a game that needed a Hard Mode.

Mechadragon

Whose your video game waifu :p

Dan -

If we saw a reincarnation of the Virtual Boy. What form would you prefer? Mini console? NSO games? Some other 3rd thing?

Third Strongest Mole (Sam)

hmmm I generally would say that a mini console is unnecessary, but I think to re-release virtual boy you need something capable of 3D visuals. The best case scenario would be to put them on 3DS but I think that ship has sailed. Otherwise, a mini system or switch release with some sort of peripheral (hey, we did labo vr after all).

They could release the virtual boy games on NSO and offer a 3D-viewer the same way they sold replica controllers, or just sell a collection on a cart that comes with one.

llaffer

LABO VR "Virtual Console".

Can even be enhanced with real color instead of being monochrome red.

Nick10d0h

I think labo is the only real answer... is anyone interested in playing a non VR version of a Game that’s biggest hook is VR? I guess for posterities sake maybe.

Third Strongest Mole

Random question for Dan since I know you like advance wars: Have you ever played days of ruin, the last advance wars game? I never picked it up because I was upset they scrapped the game's existing style and characters, and I sort of blame it for the series falling by the wayside. Am I being unfair to this otherwise good (so I've heard) game?

Eric Plunk

If you could choose one system to collect the entire library of and money were no object which one would it be and why?

This day in gaming history

26 Years Ago (May 11, 1995) - Sega Saturn Console Launch

Saturn Clockwork Knight

Saturn Daytona USA

Saturn Panzer Dragoon

Saturn Virtua Fighter

Saturn Worldwide Soccer: Sega International Victory Goal Edition

Eric Plunk

While I didn’t own a Saturn during it’s initial run, I did have a cousin that had one. In my mind no other system of the era did arcade style experiences better. Playing Daytona USA with the steering wheel and pedals on a huge TV was the next best thing to the arcade. The Stunner light gun was probably the greatest light gun of all time and I played plenty of Virtua Cop back then. The word “unique” always came to mind when reading about games like Nights Into Dreams and Panzer Dragoon in the pages of EGM. Looking back these were most likely my first at home 3D gaming experiences before the N64. As a side note, I got a Saturn of my own in 2002 during my first semester of college when a friend sold me his for $10. I don’t remember what game it came with but I ended up buying Quake at a game shop around the Nashville area. Around a year later I gave the system to another friend for Christmas. A couple of months ago that friend moved back to the area and said he still had the Saturn. Next time I visit him I’ll get to see that system for the first time in almost 20 years!

New member GrimLeaper44

I remember going to Toys R’ Us, ready to pick my next system after SNES. I played Super Mario 64 at the kiosk and honestly, I didn’t get it. There was so much open space and I thought the controller was ridiculous. So I saw the Saturn came with three games so that’s what I bought. I was the only one of my friends with a Saturn but I always enjoyed a good solo campaign and had a lot of fun with Virtua Cop, Daytona USA, and Virtua Fighter 2. I picked up Doom (which I already had on PC and SNES but what the hell...and there was a flaming skull on the cover ) and Resident Evil, both of which were awesome. I also had Worldwide Soccer, which I loved, despite not being a soccer fan. I think the only other game I had was Tony Hawk...eventually the new games stopped coming and I bought a N64 off someone at school and never looked back.

Question of the week

@ElDeePee:
Plok Talk has had me thinking about the amount of time and effort it takes to "git gud" in some games, and how many retro nearly demand it

given all of our current situations, that isn't really possible BUT is there one retro game in particular that sticks in your mind as worth going back and dedicating that time for?

Hal’s Air Fortress

Eric Plunk — 05/01/2021

I think @Dan - RetroLogic can attest that Castlevania requires you to get good. It and it’s sequels can be super frustrating at times but for me it’s totally worth it for that sense of accomplishment after getting through a difficult spot. Once that muscle memory clicks in after awhile it’s just magic.

ChrisHL94 — 05/01/2021

after my community cross play experience I would say A Link to the Past.

FlightsyFor simply tricky games, I’ve done Celeste and Cuphead. These games are hard, but they’re also games built around being hard, so they are designed to keep the player engaged even through frustration. This is done like how in Celeste there’s a checkpoint every room, and unlimited lives….BUT, there are retro games I have done this with, notably Kirby’s Dream Land (1 vitality 1 life) and Joe and Mac 2. Interestingly both of these games I had external reasons to play them. I was doing Kirby’s Dream Land in my quest to 100% every Kirby game, and I was doing Joe and Mac 2 for retro rewind. I think this external reason helped push me to overcome challenges I wouldn’t have otherwise. Several times during Kirby’s Dream Land I wasn’t sure I physically could do it…100%ing a game is my preferred way to play a game, I love experiencing everything a game has to offer. That being said, 100%ing games takes a lot of time that I don’t really have anymore. These external reasons let me justify taking that time.

Third Strongest Mole (Sam) — 05/01/2021

Mega man X. I sometimes forget how hard it is when you haven't played it 200 times already.

InfiniteBlue — 05/02/2021

F-Zero GX was definitely this game for me. It's a very daunting game at first but its gameplay rewards dedication in spades, there's really nothing else quite like it after you git gud. It was so satisfying to revisit the lower difficulties that once seemed impossible only to wipe the floor with them. And it's all organic - no stat buff, exp gains, or upgrades, just raw player skill gained over time.Also, shoutout to God Hand on PS2.

Nintendo 64 Super Smash Bros.

Third Strongest Mole (Sam)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K783SDTBKmg

gotta be that wonderful tv commercial with all the guys in mario/yoshi/dk/pikachu suits wailing on each other.

I remember with smash 64 my brothers and I immediately agreed to pool our allowance to buy it as soon as it came out.

Andross

My favorite Smash Bros memory was in a match with my pal Micah in brawl. He ran and tripped right as a babomb exploded. He screamed louder than I have ever heard anyone scream in my whole life. It was hilarious.

(I don't even think the explosion hit him) :rofl::rofl:

Mechadragon101

As much hate as Brawl gets, it did help connect tons of my friends in high school

Especially with my close high school friends, we used to play Brawl all night long on Fridays after classes.

Actually remember inviting my old high school friends to come to the Gamestop with me to buy the game with me lol

That's the biggest one I can think of, my history with Smash honestly started in Brawl since I didn't had a Nintendo console to play the original or Melee

Also btw, if you're gonna talk about Smash tonight, tell people to get Rivals of Aether, it's basically an indie retro Smash but it's kinda cool

Thank you for coming to my TED talk guys

Oh one more, I was at Nintendo NY when the first trailer for Smash Bros for Switch came out on the Direct and yes

The crowd was just as explosive as in thd videos.

SpiderShan

I got Smash 64 in college and my roommate and my friends from high school (we went to a local college) played the heck out of it! After Mario Kart it was probably our most played multiplayer game. I’ve never been all that great at Smash but still buy every iteration of the game. I always mained Link but have started playing more Simon Belmont and Dragon Quest Hero in Ultimate.

(Question of the week)

ChrisHL94

what is the best value/under priced game in the retro market today? To put it another way; what are the really great game you can get now on the cheap?

From my price is retro lists I’d have to say everyone should get a copy of NHL94 because it is the best hockey game all time and it is very affordable.

Third Strongest Mole (Sam)

Plok is certainly a contender. And if we're talking gamecube: Odama. For N64, I'd pick Rogue Squadron. It's currently $9.39 for the player's choice edition on price charting.

SpiderShan

So I’ll pick a couple of great GameCube games that are a ton of fun but won’t break the bank. First is Tales of Symphonia (one of my favorite RPGs) price charted at just $38. If you like comics you can pick up the incredible X-Men Legends for $13 or the even better sequel for $19, all CIB.

16 bit wars nomad

Here’s an interesting question for everyone...what is your least favorite console? For me it would be the Wii. I hated the idea of motion controls and preferred an actual controller. And while there were some good games for the Wii It just wasn’t my favorite.

Third Strongest Mole

I remember really wanting to get it back in the day. It's what bioware was working on while KOTOR 2 was handed over to obsidian. I wound up passing on it then, I think due to it getting an m rating at the time (which was changed for the remaster). I checked it out briefly on ea play through gamepass but did not get very far. Was surprised how clumsy the combat felt. Not sure it aged very well.

16bitwars-nomad

Owned, played the mess out of it, and finished it. If I remember correctly, you had different characters you could play through the story with. Overall I really enjoyed it. It doesn’t hold up to more modern games but it’s still a good one in my book. I wish a sequel had been created.

(Throwback Thursday)

Me:What is the single best retro console to collect if you're starting from scratch in 2021?

Taking into account the reliability of the hardware, cost of games, connecting to modern TVs, quality of software, etc…

Eric Plunk — 03/26/2021

Genesis is most affordable and there are plenty of games for it that won’t break the bank. There are HDMI cables out there for it as well.

ElPeeDee — 03/26/2021

I'm gonna vote WiiU. I know it's the least retro of the gens, but it's virtual console + access to the wii library make it tough to beat in my book. although I think the consoles themselves are pretty pricey these days, in guessing a lot of the games will rise soon

16bitwars-nomad — 03/26/2021

I’d say wiiu if you are going with a more modern retro and the genesis for classic...maybe the psp as well for handhelds. Most games for it are still reasonably priced

ChrisHL94 — Yesterday at 10:33 AM

I’ve been able to find a few Nintendo DS games that were reasonably priced, I haven’t looked in to a console though. I have found a couple 3DS’ that weren’t bad, one original and one of the new variety.

Twitter:

The Retro Blast Podcast @RetroBlastUS:

PS2. Huge library and backwards compatible with PS1 so you can start building both back.

Occasionally Average

@occaverage

So I know the classification of what is or isn't retro can be contentious, but I would say the PS2. Most games are still relatively inexpensive, and there's such a massive library of quality titles that you'll probably never run out of interesting ones.

(Question of the week)

16bitwars-nomad:

Here’s a crazy question...if you could go back in time and change the following, which would it be and why…

1. A) The Nintendo and Sony collaboration continued and a cd add-on was released for the SNES.
2. B) The 3DO, Atari Jaguar, and Philips CD-I were successful and became dominant in the video game world.
3. C) Sony used regular SD cards in the Vita and actually supported it.
4. D) The Dreamcast was released with a DVD player and dominated its generation.
5. E) The Atari Lynx sold more than the Gameboy and Gamegear.

As a Sega guy, I would@have to pick D. The Dreamcast was an awesome system with great games and was as powerful as the PS2 if not more. But it was hindered by its cd drive and Poor decisions by Sega. Runner up would have to be C. Sony had a great system with the vita but expensive memory cards and lack of support doomed it. I look forward to hearing from everyone else!!

Andross:

@Datfast and @Dan - RetroLogic given the new pokemon legends announcement what retro game would you like to see reimagined with a new formula/stlye? (Another example would be kid icarus with the uprising reboot)
