GameDadGrant Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Just picked up Princess Peach: Showtime! yesterday. And also got a physical Collector’s Edition of Shakedown Hawaii…for the Nintendo 3DS, of all things. I regret nothing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you feel about Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. I bought that when it launched and played it for an hour or so. To me, it was a little “stiff” but once I got used to it, I was having fun. It gave me pretty good Jet Grind Radio vibes so that helped in the ye olde “Fun Factor.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I needed another time sink game.. I went an bought this old indie title called Diablo 3 hope it keeps me busy… so far it feels like an advanced variation of gauntlet but with a bit more addiction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I impulsively bought Pokémon Brilliant Diamond when I saw Amazon had it for $40. Haven’t played a mainline Pokémon game in over a decade, and I skipped this generation the first time around, so it feels “”fresh””. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's endgame is far from perfect but the mainline game is really quite good. Most of the negativity around it is a repetitive endgame and endgame loot being a little stale. Hell Divers 2 is another good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first battle was annoying with constantly having someone off-screen that you need to fight. Other than that I love how much this game tries to be a spiritual sequel to JSR(F) games, it's why I picked up a copy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamer.tv Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I was out and about today and picked up World of Hitman and Pikmin 4. I might have a Quick Look at the eshop sale and see if anything grabs me…namely whether I actually want FF9 and FF6 on my Switch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Looking forward to next week. I ordered all the Analogue Pocket Cart Adapters when they were restocked on Friday. Out of the lot, I'll get the most use out of the PC-Engine & Game Gear adapters since I have a decent collection for both. I do have one NGPC game (MOTM, boxed) but no Lynx games. Maybe it's time I should start buying a few Lynx games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameDadGrant Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 @chakoo I'm in a similar situation. But instead of a lot of PC-Engine games, I have a decent collection of Neo Geo Pocket Color games. And no Lynx games. I might be buying some Lynx games soon, too. Know any good ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CastlevaniaNut18 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I grabbed Unicorn Overlord on Switch at Best Buy for $40. Decided to go with the Switch version for portability and it runs well on the system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted I didn't get too far but it's pretty complicated in it's systems and you can litteraly die by not eating lol. The visuals are absolutely incredible though and so are the characters and voice acting. If you give it your undivided attention it probably is a really unique gaming experience.

HardAct Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 ONLY Street Fighter 6 in a very long time too in between. I feel I'll be in PC gaming buying true form again when I can build a NEW Gaming RIG and drop a 5090 in it. I know it'll be 1500-1800 for the card this go around but it should hold me for a LONG time. My 2080Ti is still doing quite well but it's nothing compared to todays tech!

I originally bought it when it came out, and played quite a bit of it. I enjoyed it for the most part, but it had a lot of bugs. I stopped playing it because I got a gamebreaking bug, and got rid of it. I never really planned on getting it again, but the Royal Edition that includes all of the DLC is currently on sale for $4 so I bought it.

At least I didn't have any when playing. $4 is a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Just picked up Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora Gold Edition. Mostly because I've heard so much about the graphics, and how much I enjoy the IP. Normal Price -- $150 + Tax = $169.50 What I paid = $169.50 less 40% sale = $101.70 less 20% off for spending 100 Ubi points = $81.36 less $15 Wallet credit earned from previous purchase = $64.44 I've been a big fan of the single player DLC from Ubi, and since they never seem to put the DLC on sale, it made sense to bundle it in the Gold edition if I was going to effectively get 50% off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're in for a graphical showcase my friend. I was interested in this game myself so please post impressions. Reviews are solid but I respect your opinion on most things.

It takes me quite a bit longer to finish games than you, so it may be a month or so before I start it. I loaded it up, hoping to get a benchmark (which I couldn't find), and instead watched the VERY long intro to the game. I'll post my opinions in the Avatar thread once I've actually sunk my teeth into it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont forget to unlock the actual max settings. It starts off pretty strong and I think has a lot of really great highs and is worth playing but man it has some anti fun BS forced mechanics. I would recommend playing on easier than normally you would to cut back on having to search for particular items in order to stay competitive against enemy’s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fan of ubi and their style of gameplay. Minus your negatives I know you at least enjoyed it to the point of completion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might like it at least at first but also might check out of it quick once the difficulty ramps up - it’s a hard game on it’s easiest setting especially if you aren’t going out of your way to level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was just watching a bunch of video reviews and it does seem worth my time. That is interesting that even on easy it's still difficult. I think I'm going to bite because I need something new to play. I liked Avatar and it's world, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
