Reminds me of the OG Xbox controller.

Using the white and black buttons on the Duke without moving your entire hand nets you an achievement.

aeronmelon,

Everyone forgets how big that sucker really is.

And how it was a blatant copy of the Dreamcast controller.

atomicbocks,

Because the Xbox was built in secret while Microsoft and Sega collaborated on the Dreamcast. It’s actually somewhat compatible with Dreamcast games but MS never wanted to allow that feature.

Also the Duke is the only comfortable controller I have ever used.

SCmSTR,

If you really digest everything Microsoft does, it’s all stealing or acquiring and making worse.

altkey,

The logo circle is so big and vulgar it looks like a fake gucci bag. It’s great they got rid of that.

Buelldozer,

I really liked The Duke. It was one of the first controllers that actually fit well in my large adult size hands!

The smaller (now regular) 360 controller killed those black and white buttons.

sugar_in_your_tea,

I miss them. But I guess I’m in the minority on that one.

Whostosay,

It just moved them, and I’m glad they did

GraniteM,

The Dreamcast controller is ugly as sin but surprisingly comfortable to hold. It must have the widest delta between looks and ergonomics of any controller.

A few other good ones that come to mind:

Axiom Verge

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Guacamelee

Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight

Rabi-Ribi

A Robot Named Fight (it's basically if super metroid was a roguelike)

Touhou Luna Nights

Cave Story

Also, the Castlevania Advance Collection is three GBA metroidvanias, definitely worth getting if you wanna play/replay any of those.

Rogue Legacy 2, if it counts. Otherwise, Axiom Verge.

gibmiser,

Axiom verge had such a cool atmosphere. Never finished the 2nd one, not sure why it didn’t grab me.

Damn, beat me to it, except I was gonna say “Ouya? Try ‘Oh no!’”

davidgro,

I was going to go for “Ouya trying to fool with this post?”

ICCrawler, do games w What is your favorite Metroidvania?

I have a list of Metroidvanias I’ve started but never completed. The only one that managed to hold my attention to completion that wasn’t an actual Metroid title was Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. Which is a shame, because Ori and The Blind Forest is beautiful and Hollowknight is very cute, but neither could really hold my attention.

Atropos, do games w We have one at home

I have an ultra rare OnLive streaming console. I will let it go at the low, low price of one Steam Machine if anyone wants to trade!

LiveLM,

Wonder if anyone ever managed to homebrew it to run something else

Atropos,

I wish. But sadly no, it is merely ewaste trash I will eventually pass on to a recycler.

whotookkarl,

Wow, replied before I saw this. 2 on live references in a single thread, feel like I just spotted a bigfoot or something

SparroHawc,

I have that and an ‘OnLive founding member’ T-shirt that I wear to tech events. Especially when I suspect there’s going to be something tone-deaf getting launched.

I got both for free.

Played a lot of these in the last two years, with Ender Magnolia and Nine Sols being my favorites among them.

All-time I think I’d still go with Super Metroid, despite its age and having completed multiple playthroughs I still end up playing for hours anytime I boot it.

Honorable mentions for Rabi-Ribi (don’t let the cutesy anime artstyle fool you, this is a fantastic non-linear game with some of the best boss battles in the genre), the recent Momodora games and the Team Ladybug games (with Touhou Luna Nights being my favorite of the three).

@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

Some titles here I haven’t heard before, thanks, I’ll check them out!

The combat in Nine Sols was too difficult for my tastes. Played for an hour or two and made very little progress repeatedly dying to normal enemies.

Phelpssan,
@Phelpssan@lemmy.world avatar

FYI Nine Sols has a “Story Mode” that lets you tweak damage numbers (and AFAIK only locks you out of a single achievement). Knowing that exists was one of the reasons I decided to try the game despite my PTSD from Silksong.

I ended absolutely loving it even though it was crazy hard, and haven’t lowered the difficulty yet. Though right now I’m stuck at the last boss and that may finally force me to do so. 😀

I’ve played Ultros recently and thought it was really cool and unique.

I had an Ouya. I was hoping to use it as an open platform to play games on the TV, but yeah, that didn’t happen. The Raspberry Pi fulfilled that need until I got a Steam Deck.

Blaiz0r, do games w [Darktide] I'm actually really excited for the Scum

Yeah I think it’s cool too, used to love Confrontation and Necromunda, had no interest in Scitari.

From the sounds of the Dev blog the character build options are really interesting, so I’m optimistically looking forward to it.

taiyang, do games w Figured I'd join in sharing what I'm playing- my platinum team ☺️

Nice, earlier this year I wanted to to likewise but with Professor Oak challenges, which is get every Pokemon as early in progression we possible. I did it on Blue but it was quite miserable grinding lvl 36 Blastoise fighting only lvl 6 stuff prior to the first badge.

Suffice to say I took a break after that, but I’ll hit Silver next. Fast forward on emulation was a godsend, as well as achievement tracking for keeping track of how many more I had to grab before the next badge (it got really weird because you can skip Lt Surge and just keep going without the HM lol)

That sounds like absolute hell lol- best of luck my friend, may your patience last longer than mine would! ❤️
