Finally started Bomb Rush Cyber Funk and it's pretty fun. It'll hold me over until the new Jet Set Radio. 

I mean...alright then. If this ends up being good, sign me up.

Didn't expect the music to go so hard.

Agreed. Holy crap.

Far as I know, the issue only affects carts that were released around a specific period. Doing a quick search it looks like Echoes was one of them.

Ugh. That’s disappointing. Guess I’ll start looking through my carts.

Yea. At that time gaming was still not as popular or understood by adults just yet. Minus the big players but the Wii in 2006 kinda opened the door that gaming is for all ages. 

Yeah, the Wii definitely made some waves. But I still think mobile gaming is what made gaming "acceptable" to the masses. For better or worse. 

Damn you, Candy Crush. LOL

I had a GameCube but everyone my age thought it was for children. I'd use it at home all the time because GameCube was incredible. 

True on both accounts. 

But here's another fact that people seem to ignore...the PS2 and Xbox? Also for children. Because let's face it; we are all children. 

The Gamecube was pretty sweet, but for me? The Game Boy Player sealed the deal. Being able to play the latest Castlevania games on a big screen? Yo, that was awesome. Everyone wanted a follow-up to Symphony of the Night and the only place to get it was on GBA. On consoles we got new 3D games (which are still good!) but it wasn't the same as the 2D "Metroidvania / IGAvania" titles.

My college years were spent playing NBA Street with whomever walked into our dorm room to challenge us. 

 

It was me, mt twin brother, and two other college basketball players that had access to this suite of a dorm. It was massive with 3 tvs all occupied by PS2 and Xbox. Great, great memories! That was also when GTA 3 released and that was fuckin insane. 

Damn, three TVs...and no one had a Gamecube? Damn purple lunchbox can't catch a break! LOL

The second time I went to college, SSX3 would be THE game. If not Halo or Smash Melee.

Man those were epic days hanging out at the mall. I miss that shit. Also stopping by the Arcade inside and playing NBA Jam. I owned bitches using the Spurs with Sean Elliot and David Robinson. Also used the Suns with Dan Majerle and Charles Barkley. I'd smoke a big fatty with my buddy Gregg and we would be high as a mother fucker playing that shit lol.

I was never high, but those mall days were something. Going in to buy whatever crap you thought was cool at the time, wandering into other stores for no reason, getting your favorite meal at the food court, seeing (and playing!) the latest arcade games, and hoping your crush was at the mall at the same time…kids today will never know. 
 

Malls that still exist today? Kinda eerie.

Wow. Vampire Survivors has taken up my time recently. Damn you, Steam sales.

Chrono Trigger has absolutely beautiful music. I played a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 as well and that was a delight as well. 

Right on. Be sure to play Xenogears if you get a chance. Not sure if that’s on PSN or not.

Plus  Mitsuda composed the soundtrack. I think people keep overlooking this.

To be fair, he composed *some* of the soundtrack. Not all tracks are Mitsuda originals. Some songs are made from Sabotage's in-house composer (Eric W Brown).

No idea who Matsuda is. What is his resume?

What. WHAT. 

Yasunori Mitsuda. One of the best, most prolific video game composers of all time. Chrono Trigger. Chrono Cross. Xenogears. Shadow Hearts. Luminous Arc. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Nice. I have PS+ so I will check it out to see why it got a few nods for GOTY. If you thought it was ok, then I will most likely feel the same way. 

It’s from the same studio that made The Messenger so expect that level of quality. (It’s good)

@Commissar SFLUFAN

Hell yeah, F-ZERO 99! Finally the game gets some respect! 

Well, if any country is an expert at depression, it’s probably Germany.

Bayonetta 3.
 

Great action game is great. And you liked the previous two games? Easy choice.

So you've raised a dirty pirate that will get you emails from your ISP very often for downloading Nintendo games?

I certainly didn’t teach him that! He learned it from the streets…! 

I wonder how many people still play Wii U and/or 3DS online anymore?

Was literally going to do that because his poor son just got a Wii U.

He is using his “new” Wii U as an emulation machine, essentially. And he isn’t even using Nintendo’s servers to get online. He uses something called Pretendo.

Is it one card or multiple?

It’s all in one card.

Yeah I’ll buy it. Where should I send your $50 to?

May as well shove it up my ass. That’s about all the good it’ll do me. LOL

My mom bought my son a $250 Xbox gift card for Christmas. 
 

We don’t own an Xbox. Somehow, she thought Xbox was the same as Playstation. 🤦‍♂️ 

If anyone wants to purchase $250 worth of Xbox credit (PayPal, Venmo, Zell, whatevs) let me know. I’ll send the code immediately.

God. I thought it was bad when my parents called all video games “Nintendo” back in the day. At least that was harmless ignorance. 

My son got a Wii U for Christmas. Needs an external Hard Disk Drive for storage. Any suggestions? 

Most likely need one with its own A/C adaptor.

I don't have the greenbacks especially this time of year. I do want one though, especially knowing the screen is bigger than a Switchs screen

Everything about the Deck is bigger than the Switch. That hardware is thicc. 

...do people still say that? Thicc?

Thank you for the detailed response. I don't think I'll be able to hold out much longer

Just go for it. It's worth it.
