Lucky. I have my PS3, and I’m having a horrible time finding decent replacement controllers. You can’t use the new DualShocks, and compatible controllers you can buy are built so cheaply they don’t work very well.
The fact N64 games are behind a subscription is what really irks me. I wouldn’t mind paying €5 for Harvest Moon 64 - the way you could buy retro games on the wii - but having to pay yearly, for a bunch of games (many of which I might not even be interested in) that you can’t play anymore once you stop paying? Fuck that
I dislike game subscription services on principle, but at least the other guys have new games on their subscription services, not just ancient ones. Nintendo being the first to charge $80 makes it an extra kick in the balls.
Devil’s advocate here, I subscribe to movie services that are much more expensive to watch movies I’ve already seen. If playing these old games is important to me, that doesn’t seem too bad. $80 for Mario kart on the other hand… never.
I have my issues with Nintendo recycling Mario Kart ad nauseam, but Mario Kart was $66 when it launched in 1996, which is like $130 today. The prices haven’t really kept up with inflation. It’s cheaper to buy Mario Kart today than it was back then.
The Analogue 3d will ship soon right? I’m worried I will end up with significantly (more) gray hairs before it does…
I will also take a minute to plug Krikizz and their Everdrives. I have the x6 for the snes, gbc, gba, and x7 for n64. They are an excellent piece of kit once you get a proper sd card. Slava Ukraini!
For anyone who hasn’t discovered it yet…emulation is so great.
I got a little emulation console for £120 (Retroid Pocket 4 pro, see my post history) 2 months ago and haven’t touched my Steam Deck or gaming PC since. Highly recommended.
Krikizz Everdrive! They are awesome on every system I have them for, snes, gbc, gba, and n64. They can be picky about the sd card you use but work flawlessly once you have the right one.
You can get a flash cart if you want to play a game you don’t have a cartridge for on your console. Not particularly cheap, but far cheaper than buying them individually.
I finally finished persona 3 reload. I skipped part of the DLC because more dungeons sounded like torture at that point. But otherwise it was great.
I started playing blue prince and then, after a few hours, realized the name was a play on words for blueprints. Doh. It’s been interesting. I am kind of getting a bit tired of the RNG of filling out the house, but I’m getting enough progress made to keep me going.
I’ve also been playing the oblivion remake, and it’s been a lot of fun! It’s like the ratatouille meme while playing. It’s nice. Oddly cozy
I love my original GameCube. Still have it hooked up to an old tube TV and there’s a lot of nostalgia around putting the little mini-CD in and booting it up. But it’s so much easier to fire up dolphin.
I got a Steam Deck recently and have been surprised at how well the 6th (GC, PS2, Xbox) and 7th (Wii, PS3, 360) generations can be emulated now compared to a few years ago. I hadn’t messed with emulating systems past 5th gen (N64, PS1, Saturn) for many years. It’s wild to me that I can smoothly emulate Dragon’s Crown, a PS4 game I currently have on my PS5, on the Steam Deck if I want, although I chose the PS3 one for less power needed since they’re pretty much identical. Even given it’s a less demanding 2D game, emulating a PS4 is impressive.
