Was it considered good? I think most people were initially excited for it, since the developers were big fans of Castle of Illusion. But yeah, the painting/thinning mechanic got old (and intrusive) quickly.

It’d be a better game if they kept that to a minimum. The actual playforming and usual 2D action game stuff work pretty well.

God bless the 3DS backwards compatibility. Been playing a LOT of Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow lately.

Game still holds up!

I love it.

Sure there is. Why is it an exclusive? Did Sony pay for the $3 port development?

From what I’ve heard/read....yes. Sony approached Konami for this release and paid for development and publishing. That’s why it’s PS4 exclusive. 

Splatterhouse 2! 

It is Halloween season, suckas!

$150 ain't bad. I feel that's around how much it cost when it first came out, but my memory is a bit fuzzy. I remember I got mine for about $30 back in 1996 at a Kay-Bee Toy Store. I don't have the box or anything anymore. Just the system.  

It's October, so it's time to break out the scary games. I'm starting with Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, a title that I've started before, but then got distracted by something shiny and never got back around to. I aim to actually complete it before Halloween hits. I just hope I can stick with it and not get pulled away from it with Mega Man 11. 

After that, I think it's about high time I started Resident Evil Revelations 2. I've had that on my backlog for far too long. Time to rectify that.

I didn't truly know the meaning of masochism until I read this thread. 

I want to quote something from Castlevania like...a man is a miserable pile of secrets, but it's not quite fitting right. But yeah, this was kinda dumb to do, not gonna lie!

Nice. I have 3 Virtualboy games. I have zero plans on a complete collection. I really just wanted Wario Land.

If you're only going to play one Virtual Boy game, that's the one to play! Good choice.

That's one of the worst collections you could have gone for.

 

I think we're down to 3 VB games, since we sold several of them recently. Only reason we even have the system at all is because it's Nintendo and we have a complete, boxed unit.

Agreed! It is by far the worst collection. But it was also kinda easy, since there are so few games. Just got a little expensive at times, mostly when it came to the infamous Jack Bros. game. 

How did you get a complete boxed unit? Did you have that from back in the '90s, or did you end up grabbing it years later? I see those sometimes at trade shows/conventions.

 I had no idea Water World was a titled for that poor doomed system. What an omen! 

What's worse, is the game isn't even all that great. So at least the game lived up to the movie, LOL! 

Thanks! I also own V-Tetris but it’s not a North American release so I didn’t include it in the photo. 

I’ve heard there is a mod that allows you to output the video to a TV, and even change the color scheme.

Gotta find out if that is true...

It took a while, but my Virtual Boy collection is officially complete! 

.....man, what a waste of money, LOL.

Another 2019 title was announced today, one that many were questioning if it would ever come stateside.

 

Yo-kai watch 3 is west bound in Feb 2019.

Yyyyyaaaaaasssssss!!!!!

Now we wait for localization news of Persona Q 2.  

Weird they aren’t just re-releasing/remaking  The Dracula X Chronicles (PSP) for PS4. 

And yeah, why is this PS4 only? This should be on all systems. WTF.

No...

Goldeneye

Perfect Dark

Blast Corps

Star Wars Rogue Squadron

Banjo Kazooie

 

How can it be representative of N64 without them?

Not to mention Jet Force Gemini or Shadows of the Empire. Or any of the WWF games. 

Though if it has Pokémon Puzzle League that’ll help ease the pain.

I like collecting game boxes, manuals, CE stuff...that’s why I like buying physical.

Once in a while I’ll buy digital if it’s a game I know I’m going to play a lot of and never sell.

@chakoo

Word.

On all accounts.  

I may need that black and red unit. I’m thinking of importing.

Can’t wait to be very disappointed when they show off new 3ds games that really should be on switch instead.

I was being sarcastic! I actually CAN wait for these kind of comments! Auuurrrggghhhh!

Nintendo Direct happening today. I don't know if it'll happen, but I'm hoping for some surprise 3DS announcements. Theatrhythm: Dragon Quest, anyone? Maybe ride on the hype of the recently released Dragon Quest XI? 

.....why oh why did they not just localize the 3DS version of that game? Uuuuuggghhhh.....

By the way @chakoo what are your party plans if/when Persona Q 2 is announced for North America? I'm thinking toga party, personally.

Can’t wait for the inevitable whiney posts of “why isn’t this on Switch?” each time a new game is revealed for 3DS.

The Mario & Luigi remake I mentioned is coming next year. 

True. I don’t need it, but I’m going to buy it anyway. I have no self control, lol.

I so don't need it but I so wanted to pull the trigger in a New Nintendo 3DS  XLR recently but my 3DSxl  is just fine. I just wanted the better 3ds functionality and the ability to get some of the SNES games.

Do it! You won’t regret it! (probably)

Hm. Cloud saves.

I’ve been gaming for over 30 years, and somehow survived without them the entire time. 

But now they might be mandatory? Weird.

@chakoo

Etrian Odyssey Nexus, eh? Wasn’t aware of that one. Nice! Good to see 3DS still getting support into 2019.

I wonder what else is coming 2019, if anything? Maybe some more stuff was going to be announced/revealed in that Nintendo Direct that got canceled due to the typhoon?

Has Persona Q 2 been announced for localization? 

I’m looking at downloading Dillon’s Dead Heat Breakers sometime soon. I wanna finish off Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology first, though.

You called?

The demo is pretty sweet. I recommend it to any one that was raised by old-school games, and those that dig 2D action games.
