They want you to feel that way, say “what’s the point” and buy digital…

Physical I can sell again! Big advantage right there.

RagingRobot,

They don’t like that part lol

MadBigote,

Now you’re on Nintendos list.

Nothing is stopping you from this right now

Except the cost of the console and games. :(

Also, Beetle Adventure Racing > Wrestlemania

XEAL,

You guys don’t keep your childhood consoles?

Isoprenoid,

I would have if I had the luxury of storage.

Someone stole it from me when I was 18.

Not all of us came from stable backgrounds. My father lost everything we owned when I was in the Army because he couldn’t stop gambling and didn’t pay our storage unit… My entire fucking Magic the Gathering collection. I had power 9 and a full duel lands set, many many decks. Not to mention all my consoles and games.

Patches,

Your phone has enough power to emulate an N64 and roms are free. Ain’t nobody making royalties 25 years later on Wrestlemania.

Cosmonauticus,

Argggh the seas of piracy are calm and rife with plunder

Well, yes, I have a gaming PC as well. (and a steam deck) It just ain’t the same without the OG controller. Need to get a USB one eventually but I’m poor.

I do still have some of my original carts as well. Same with a bunch of NES carts I got from my previous job. Been eyeing those modern consoles that work with NES carts because that would be nice to have in the living room.

SRo,

They are pretty cheap. Around 50 bucks. With the box around 150. SNES is expensive compared to it. Also, Diddy Kong racing > beetle adventure racing.

Ahhh beetle adventure racing! Brings back memories. I found a legit “cheat” way to play by doing something like turning and then clicking handbrake? A few times and it would take super sharp turns depending on how many times you click handbrake no matter the speed you were going. Allowed be to beat the game and unlock all cars pretty easily.

Did you find the secret level?

StopSpazzing,
@StopSpazzing@lemmy.world avatar

I want to say yes, but honestly that was such a long time ago. I remember there was an “out of this world” secret car but I don’t remember much else.

JeeBaiChow, do gaming w I miss manuals...

… and cloth maps. And developer notes. And figurines. And trinkets from the lore. And the game costing under $20. And…

GTG3000, do gaming w I miss manuals...

Always funny to me to be reminded that in some countries game came with manuals.

Here it was always just a cartridge/disk. Possibly the reason the most popular NES game was Battle City instead of Super Mario Bros.

Ha! Jokes on you, I’m not 38 until… next week. Guck!

(I meant to type “fuck” but “guck” works just as well.)

StopSpazzing,
@StopSpazzing@lemmy.world avatar

This honestly needs to be a lemmy insider only word. Replace all reference of fuck with guck going forward.

dangblingus, do gaming w Nothing is stopping you from this right now

Guys will see this and say hell yeah.

But for real, don’t sell your games. Don’t be that guy in 20 years being like “remember n64?”

Son_of_dad,

I just got an emulator and play my n64 wrestling games on my tv through my pc

Auduras,

Mind elaborating on how?

StopSpazzing,
@StopSpazzing@lemmy.world avatar

Google n64 emulator and n64 roms? Pretty easy. I torrented all the games for nes,sega,snes,n64 few years ago and still have it somewhere. Havent played anything in some time

user224,
@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Indeed. Instead be that guy saying “Oh, man… I forgot to check the caps… the motherboard is absolutely corroded and ruined beyond repair!”

Just reminding you if you have any old consoles or other such old electronics. Remember the capacitors.

StopSpazzing,
@StopSpazzing@lemmy.world avatar

Yup, always like them before you plug it in to test for leakage /s

Lots of things stopping me from doing this:

  1. I am currently 36 years old, I will not be 38 at any time during the year 2024.
  2. I do not own a copy of Wrestlemania 2000.
  3. I finished my pizza rolls yesterday.
diffcalculus,

Sounds more like you’re not trying hard enough

I agree. He just needs to smoke a carton of cigs and drink a bottle of whiskey and he will feel older the next day for sure!

At least sometimes they double-side print the cover, this is just lazy.

WCW/NWO Revenge, or nothing.

PlainSimpleGarak,

Wrestlemania 2000 was cool and all, but WCW/NWO Revenge will always be my GOAT. I remember as a kid being hella impressed by the customization options.

I also owned WCW/NWO Thunder for PS1. Game was dog shit.

I resemble that remark.

Not having an N64 or a copy of that game stops me.

This and the other WWE games on N64 is why I went through so many controllers… A lot of them had you spinning the stick to get out of stuff and it would wear down the springs until the stick was worthlessly flaccid. 😩

ShaggySnacks,

the stick was worthlessly flaccid.

Sounds like the title of the world’s saddest sex tape.

Never understood the love for N64. That controller was an abomination.

Never understood the dislike for the controller. Have you ever used it?

@Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Yes, I hated it.

is this real? no way right?

echo64,

For like a decade yes

FarFarAway,

Sadly, yes. Got a switch for Xmas this year. Went and bought a mario game, and was completely taken aback when the inside of the case looked just like this. I sat there totally feeling this exact post.

Untitled goose game was surprisingly the last game I bought that had a case full of swag.

I think you mean "the alcohol cabinet is stocked and so are the retro games". Legend of Zelda, here I come.
