    Nice choice! I have never played any of the Grandia games, but maybe I'll give one a shot eventually. My favorite under rated game is probably Zombies Ate My Neighbors.

      @jacobnunya7 Před měsícem

      @@Watcher-Gaming not the remasters but on like the 3ds or wii for example you didn't need to pay a subscription to use your own wifi like the switch. The way that the "servers" work is pretty much just communicating with other consols directly instead of connecting to a server that other consols also connect to. So there really is no service you're paying for like actual servers, instead you're just paying to unlock the ability to connect to your own wifi on certain games. Also not to mention that nintendo made a premium version so you can unlock things like the other virtual consols (n64, gba, and a few more) and more mario kart 8 deluxe maps. Honestly it's almost a scam because you should be able to pay for the normal subscription and get everything i just mentioned because we all KNOW nintendo is making more than enough money but they just want more and more because of coporate greed.

      @@Watcher-Gaming I should clarify, I'm perfectly fine paying for remasters like pikmin1 and pikmin2. But I was mostly just talking about the things that they do that aren't that hard to do but they put behind a paywall anyways. I should be able to just connect my game to my own wifi without having to pay money. Back in the old days of pokemon all you did was plug your gb or gba to another and you have yourself trades and battles, you pay for one cord and you can trade with as many people that you want and as many times as you want. But with the online subscription you have to pay either monthly or yearly if you want to trade or battle with other people. So over time the amount of money that you pay for the online "service" would be far greater than paying for one cord

    I've been gaming since a little baby and the thing I've learned is that whenever you think the best is out there's astronomical leaps and gaming a generation or two later and that switch 2 is already on the horizon so it might just be that much better than the original switch. The things they were able to do on the switch I've been nothing short of miracles.

What a deal! Little Samson, $1,800 at the Gaming Warehouse in Grand Rapids, MI. I had $300 in trade in credit, talked them down from $2K and lumped in the Jetsons for $300.

Dragon Warrior - Great Rpg and game length for price Gauntlet 2 - Fun cheap Multitap game for when I have 3 buddies over. The original Tmnt game - Hard but great for a good price. Startropics - Such an underrated and great adventure gem of a game and again cheap. Tmnt 2 The Arcade Game - Fun 2 player Arcade game and again cheap. Batman - Cheap and great action Platformer with great music and graphics Jackal - Super Fun Coop top down shooting game. Also cheap Ghosts and Goblins - Cheap, fun, and challenging. This one will take a while to get through. This all came out to $99.90 and that is 9 games total. I would say that is a pretty solid start for what I got for how much I spent.

    that's a damn good list for $100. Honestly, I do not know why an adult who is into NES in 2024 couldnt spend nearly as much money as a little kid could in the 80s. In the 80s, $100 would only buy you two games, and NES is now way more expensive than it was, obviously. But you know, if $100 is the budget for NES, this is an impressive list. I would have left California Games off of the list anyway. The $8 in cash is worth more. But the rest were genuinely great games.

      @Watcher-Gaming learning the rules of the game. First rule every single stage has respawning pizza with the exception of the dam me level and the techno drome all you need to do is leave a room and come back in. There is no run button in this game, this means jumps are done either from standing still or from walking forward. Lastly level 3 has respawning the most powerful weapon in the game turning all turtles into walking glass canons.
