I started the series late, in 2020 after buying Yakuza 0 on a whim, and ended up playing through the entire series that was out at the time that year (including Judgment). Infinite Wealth hits you very hard in the feels if you’ve been following Kiryu since he was 20. I love Ichiban as well and think he’s a great protagonist to pass the torch to.
That’s why I immediately put the GBA Mario Golf and Tennis games on my modded Switch’s NSO GBA app after the announcement - the versions they should have added instead of GBC!
As for Dr. Mario, I already have the SNES version on it.
We’re rapidly approaching a time when 20 year old games will still look pretty good by today’s standards. Really shows how much graphics have slowed down - used to be that 5 year old games looked hopelessly outdated.
Yup, the Wii is when they started the “withered technology” thing. One nice side effect is that their consoles are pretty easy to emulate because the hardware is so outdated.
I’ve had one for years, waiting for when Nintendo dropped support. I’m not gonna give them any more money as far as the Switch is concerned, so no reason not to go for it now. A project for this weekend, maybe.
I love emulation. Been using it since NESticle in the late 90s. By far the best thing about it is save states. Being able to stop playing whenever you want and resume your progress was a revelation!
Loved the game. I just did the main story and side stories as it’s the plot and characters I play Like A Dragon games for; I wasn’t interested enough in the Sujimon or Dondoko Island stuff to get into it. And no way am I paying extra to do New Game Plus!
Replaying Ghost of Tsushima. I beat it on PS4 back when it came out and started a New Game Plus save, but stopped playing after that so never played the expansion. I got the Director’s Cut on PS5 and have currently finished Act 1 and the expansion and am working on Act 2.
