Well graphics cards and still steadily dropping, and with the 1180/1170 both leaked to release in Aug/Sep respectively, the prices will continue to drop. I'm hoping out for below MSRP on a 1070/1080 in the near future. So if you want one hang on a bit longer.

Snagged a Nintendo NES Classic Edition. I have an 8bitdo N30 2.4G wireless controller on the way. I’ve barely played the SNES Classic Edition so I think I just bought the NES Classic Edition mostly to have it.

The SNES Classic has gotten more play here too - although NES is getting some love now thanks to Mega Man 2 and Gradius. Still glad to own them for the nostalgia (and for the cute factor of having two mini-consoles).

Kinda aimlessly walked into a store today and noticed that Wii U games have really fallen in price, so I picked up the following for 18 bucks:

-Art Academy Atelier: always admired the stuff I saw from this on MiiVerse. I wouldn't mind learning to draw, I used to make small doodles on MiiVerse after finishing games.
-Rodea The Sky Soldier: this one always was exceedingly expensive but here I found it for 12$ with the Wii game included too. It has a reversible cover as well. I've read the actual Wii U title is pretty garbage, but the Wii one is supposed to be decent.

There's a few more titles for that system I would like to buy, such as Game & Wario, Mario Maker and the claymation Kirby game, but those are still hovering around 20$ each it seems.

So, have received my Spidey PS4 Pro and a copy of the game.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING HALF AN HOUR FOR THE INSIPID THING TO INSTALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is not a good first introduction to the world of Playstation. It seems that Sony (and presumably MS) have forgotten what a console is.

The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes (3DS)

I'm hesitant about this game. Reviews were definitely mixed, and frankly it sounds a bit garbage from the single-player viewpoint. But my kids both have 2DS systems now, enjoy Zelda games quite a bit, and are old enough to be decent little game players... hopefully the download play cooperative mode will make this worthwhile?

I'm fortunate to have friends to play the game, but it does have an unfortunate amount of restrictions and I can't really blame people if that ruined the game for them. For me, it's one of my fave 3DS games and was a refreshing take on Zelda.

I don't suppose you'd be interested in playing online?

If you need a third, I need to get more mileage out of my copy. Just gotta peel myself away from my Monster Hunter addiction to play something different...

Tri Force Heroes is the only Zelda game I haven’t purchased or played. I liked Four Swords. It’s okay single-player, but multiplayer is where the game really shines. I imagine the same applies to Tri Force Heroes. The requirements of needing two other people is just too much for me. I can’t wrangle that many people to one place/time unless we’re not playing video games, and even then it gets dicey. Almost everyone I know is too busy making kids.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #2285 on:** October 04, 2018, 08:25:24 PM »

If you want to play Tri-Force Heroes online, I'm willing to play with you. It's one game I've been wanting to tackle for awhile now along with Federation Force. I've already started planning on some Federation Force online action with Pokepal148 and Mop it up in the Matchmaking thread but I'd also be willing to start getting into Tri-Force Heroes as well. We can work out some times to meet up and play interested.

Adrock · « **Reply #2286 on:** October 04, 2018, 10:30:45 PM »

If it was on Switch, yes. I find it hard to go back to 3DS. I even charged it a few weeks ago to play at the laundromat, and I couldn't bring myself to do it. I ended up putzing around on my phone for two hours.

Let me see if I can track down a new copy and how much it is. Also, I'm at the end of Breath of the Wild. I feel like it's going to be weird playing not that kind of Zelda. I've been meaning to start a few discussion threads, one of which was about older Zelda games. I digress.

ejamer · « **Reply #2287 on:** October 05, 2018, 08:22:35 AM »

Sounds like there are enough of us to try getting online with Triforce Heroes. I rarely play online, usually preferring face-to-face gaming when possible - but would definitely make an exception for this crew. Just need to break away from Majora's Mask for a while.

Triforce heroes is relatively cheap now ($20 taxes in from EB Games Canada, probably less in US) and there are enough people willing to play. Anyone on the fence should give it a shot!

Matchmaking thread for anyone interested:

Spent a long time looking at Monster Hunter Generations (3DS) yesterday, but am trying to cut down on my backlog instead of adding 100+ hour games to the list. Triforce Heroes was cheap and enough of a novelty that it seemed worth trying with my kids though.

Plus, I love the fact that my 3DS is an absolutely stacked Zelda machine. I think this makes 13 Zelda titles for me on the system...

And you weren't interested in trying it online?

I was just thinking about this game earlier this week and thinking about picking it up if it was cheap enough along with one or two odd 3DS titles I feel I should grab while the grabbing is good, but I assume everyone had already played it and moved on. Its in that $20 sweet spot right now so if you guys are looking to play then I may pick it up...I just need to get over my Monster Hunter addiction.

Mop it up · « **Reply #2291 on:** October 05, 2018, 11:47:34 AM »

I've never been one of those people who ditches something just because it's "old" and am constantly moving to the new flavour of the week. I've got a willingness to play any online game provided I liked the game to begin with. All someone's gotta do is ask.

Stratos · « **Reply #2292 on:** October 05, 2018, 11:48:37 AM »

Then I'll get to work on sating this Monster Hunter Addiction so that we can get to some Space Marining goodness.

Literally a year and a half in the making....

In addition, from this list here, you'll see that I know have Triforce Heroes and Federation Force. After telling me I need to get more co-op games and do more online multiplayer, here's the chance to help me do just that.

Quote from: Stratos on March 21, 2017, 03:55:41 AM

I'm game for Triforce Heroes. I still need to pick up Federation Force, so I'll do that this Spring/Summer to play with you guys as well...so long as Breath of the Wild lets me come up for air. That game is really keeping me hooked. Only other game that has been able to tear me away is my custom hack of FE6 as I have begun dabbling in rom hacks.

Quote from: Mop it up on March 23, 2017, 08:47:10 PM

In any case, I'm always game for any game, so just let me know. Tri Force Heroes requires three players so that could be tricky, it's possible to sub in a random with two friends but that can be a crap shoot. Federation Farce doesn't quite have that issue, though it is balanced for four players and some missions can be pretty tough with just 2 players. But you don't sound like someone to back down from a challenge!

Quote from: Fatty The Hutt on March 24, 2017, 11:04:24 AM

I, too, have Tri-Force Heroes and would be up for some online co-op play sometime. I haven't even cracked the game yet. I tried the demo awhile back and it was good fun.

Quote from: Stratos on March 25, 2017, 11:40:05 AM

I'm game for some Tri-Force Heroes. Though I will have to tear myself away from BotW to do it. Might be a nice change of pace.

I nabbed a black standard sized new 3DS for $120. It's honestly just a nice little oddity to have in the collection considering how short lived that iteration of the system wound up being in the US.

azeke · « **Reply #2299 on:** November 02, 2018, 01:25:46 AM »

Bought joy-con stick replacement and a new battery for 3DS XL.

While preparing the joy-con i discovered the stick doesn't drift as much. I guess i will postpone that for now.

But battery replacement for 3DS was definitely due -- handheld's old battery was dying within 10 minutes after taking out of a charger. Works okay for now and it's just nice to play the thing without it constantly blinking red and dying.
