I was a little bit behind and just started up again. I finished season 4 last week. I prefer this show to breaking bad. It has all my favorite characters from BB and is not so bleak.

« on: April 20, 2022, 05:42:19 PM »I'm currently working through a rom hack of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 called Explorers of the Skies which is something of a difficulty/QoL hack for the second set of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. It's been really enjoyable so far.So is this a rom hack for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky from DS?

« on: April 20, 2022, 11:09:14 AM »According to my profile, I've played it for 10 hours or more so it seems my guesstimate of 11 hours is pretty spot on. I imagine that it will be close to another 11 hours for me to wrap the game up.22 hours sounds perfect. I was hoping for that with The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks but ended up spending about 32 hours on it. I played this on the Wii U virtual console using the Gamepad as the touch screen. It was not quite as enjoyable as Phantom Hourglass but it does have its moments. I had a lot of trouble with the music parts since the mic in my gamepad is not what it used to be. I also had look something up in a guide twice. So either it was a little too smart for me or I am getting too old and impatient. That is 3 down and 1 to go...

« on: April 18, 2022, 07:17:02 PM »Still the biggest disappointment to me about the Switch: Not being able to see an accurate log of your playtimes on games. 3DS and Wii U could do it but not Switch?Yes, I try not to let this bother me but it does. Part of that is that fact that the switch has the data I want, it just doesn't show it to me. One consolation is that Sony and Microsoft consoles are not any better about giving you detailed playtime data. Thankfully many games have in-game tracking of time played and any devs that include this get an ok from me.

General Gaming / Re: How Do You Level Up?
« on: April 18, 2022, 04:51:33 PM »Atlus released a press release at the end of the year saying SMT5 had become the best selling SMT game in franchise history, with over 800k worldwide. The previous best seller was SMT4 which did 600k worldwide. So it's actually done very well for itself, it's just this type of series has always been pretty niche so unless your looking for specific SMT fan communities, overall discussions across the web would die down pretty fast for this type of game.
Update, the game has officially gone platinum

I've rescued about half the Waddle Dees But now, it'll just be a win to get Kirby done this month.It is good to hear that there is so much to the game. Not too surprising as most of the modern Kirby games are quite substantial if you go for completion.
About how many hours have you played so far?

I finished up My Nintendo PICROSS: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess on 3DS last night. As you may suspect from the title this was a reward from the My Nintendo Program. I played through the 45 standard Picross puzzles a few years ago and marked this as beaten. This month I decided to complete the game by going through the remaining 46 puzzles. 45 of those are Mega Picross where you get some clues about two adjacent rows/columns. Initially I did not like this variant, but by the time I finished I had adjusted and the standard puzzles seemed too easy. The 46th puzzle was Micross, were you have one big puzzle made up of about 40 smaller puzzles. This ended up only lasting an hour or two since the smaller puzzles were quite easy. All in all this free game lasted me about 37 hours. That is 2 down and 2 to go...

TalkBack / Re: Nintendo Reaches Deal With UK Regulator To Make Automatic Renewal For Subscriptions Opt-In
« on: April 13, 2022, 08:21:29 AM »
This seems almost standard with a lot of media subscription services now, that you sign up for the trial and get locked into auto-renewal. Obviously this is better for most consumers, but I am wondering if this is just for gaming or does the same apply to TV and other services in these areas.

I aw the credits roll on Horizon Forbidden West on Friday. This was the reason I got a PS5 and it was worth it for the fast load times alone. Being able to fast travel in a couple seconds really changed the game for me. I also liked the way quests were handled in this one with more variety and deeper story in the traditional side quests. All in all I put in 130 hours into the game. I completed all the quests and found all the collectables but the in-game completion rate says I am only 93% complete. I will do a little more hunting to figure out what the 7% is but otherwise I am off to other games. That's 1 down and 3 to go...

« on: April 11, 2022, 10:48:44 AM »Hi.No participation requirement CoreyL, but glad you are giving it a go. DK 64 is one of my favorite N64 games. The other two I am not familiar with so I am looking forward to hearing about them. If you have time, go for a fourth game.
If I have to participate, I choose :
Genesis - hard cop contract
snes - Dom Tromper
N64 - donkey kong

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Best of the 3DS eShop Series
« on: April 05, 2022, 06:28:46 PM »If you don't care about beginning with the original then Etrian Odyssey IV is probably the overall best in the series with more refined gameplay and mechanics, as well as more accessibility features to help newcomers.I picked up Etrian Odyssey IV with the Atlus sale going on. It was $8 US and with physical copies going for $50+ I decided it was worth it. This should be my last 3DS digital purchase. Thanks for the recommendation Mop it up!
These games have gone on sale in the eShop several times before, so I'd wait and see if Atlus does any more sales before the shutdown, they probably will.

« on: April 03, 2022, 01:50:08 PM »Question. Can I play 4 games on the Switch but they are on different systems.Yes, great idea! The spirit of the challenge is to play a variety of games so using the system they were originally released on is a great variant.
Basically what I am asking is can I use the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion to play one game each on the NES, SNES, N64 and Genesis?

I also front loaded quite a bit with this. I have over 100 hours put into Horizon, 2 dungeons cleared in Zelda, and only about 10 puzzles left in Picross. I have not started Bioshock yet, but it is only supposed to be 10-20 hours, so I think I can pull this off.

Hey there forum fans, time to dig out those Jaguars, charge up those Vitas, plug in your Dreamcasts, and dust off the old Virtual Boy. That's right, it's the fourth month of the year and thus time to kick off the 2nd annual Four on Four community event!
The basic idea is to complete four games from four different systems in during the month of April. This will encourage us to play more games and as well as games on different systems. Feel free to modify the rules as you see fit. You could use the system the game was originally released on rather than the system you played it on. Instead maybe you just play four games on four different system without completing them. Personally, I am going to pick some games that I have already started and plan to finish in April
Just post the games you are playing and what system you are playing them on and have fun!

I would love external drive support though as I passed 512GB used on my SD card recently.Could external drive support work, where you just had it when it was docked and it could sync and update and changes for the next handheld play session?
