Did a bunch of streaming this weekend. Mario Land 3: WarioLand, Snoopy's Grand Adventure and Yoshi's Wooly World. It didn't do any serious dives and anything new though. Probably should get back to my backlog one of these days, and at least go finish Once Upon a Katamari.
Emulator. I'm actually playing Mario Land 3 DX, a fan patched version where they gave the game a full color palette. It makes it much easier on the eyes.
Rave Racer is a fun game. It feels similar to Ridge Racer, but doesnt focus as much on crazy drifting moves. Like all Ridge Racer games, I really, really, really wish I could turn off the annoying announcers, but no such option exists.
Edit: I'm quite happy that Namco is finally doing something with these games.
My main wifi network just reset itself to the factory settings for no reason at all, completely messing up my printer/scanner in the proces. The joys of home networking.
I managed to get my printer working. I managed to get my scanner working. I did not manage to change the wifi settings, as the actual settings page shows everything as it should be.
I use the GBC filter on NSO. Sadly, Nintendo only offers one pallette: pink, yellow and light blue. Still better than green or B&W.
After playing through DX/colorized versions of the first three Super Mario Land games, I really do think Nintendo should take a long hard look at remaking them. Nothing too dramatic, but something along the lines of Super Mario All-Stars, where they polish up the graphics and tweak the controls, but leave the level design alone. There are some great levels and fun to be had, particularly with WarioLand, provided they can update those controls. Game Boy controls have not aged well at all.
Just finished my first playthrough of Resident Evil Requiem and it was a pretty damn awesome game. Loved the two different play styles between Grace and Leon. The voice actress for Grace did a fantastic job in the role. The time to complete was nearly 17 hours but I don’t think it kept of the time I lost from deaths which there were a fair number. Some death scenes were very cool. Not peak RE like RE2R and RE4R but pretty close. I’d give the game an easy 9/10.
That's good to know. I haven't played any of them. Not sure if I'd want to as I'm not a fan of horror, but if the price is right it might be worth jumping on the bundle.
It didn't bother me at first, but as my storage size dwindled, Hitmans absurdly huge file size became a pain in the ass.
Then I started playing Animal Crossing and Ace Prosecutor 2 on physical media. And I realised I could have that in to play and still play other digital games without having to switch carts out.
I cant decide whether to get the Resident Evil generation pack. Not sure I want to have to swap out cards and redownload games. At least with a physical cartridge the data is mostly all there. With gkcs in the future I'll still have to put a cart in and have to redownload the game again.
Might as well get digital. But I got re4, 5 and 6 for like £7 each on switch.
If you divide the generation pack by 3 its fair but still higher than I imagine those games will go for in the future.
Now some eagle eyed Resetera guy has found the small text saying the generation pack will be discontinued on the eshop end of March.
And if you choose to get separated re7 is £35 and Village is £45.
Yeah GameKeyCards seem to be the worst of both world. Their only usecase is that they can be sold on. And you get a box to put on your shelf, if you're into that kind of thing.

I wonder what their resale value is? I doubt it would be much.

You can lend them out I guess with no time limits.

Another thing that worries me. At first I thought I would buy GKCs, then sell and rebuy the same game digital on sale.
But now I'm wondering what the resale value is on them. Digital games drop so quickly these days.
Same here. I'm really enjoying my first play through and I'm certain I am past the halfway mark. There's lots of memorable moments.
I find it hard to stop playing. Ok, now we are getting a lengthy Leon segment and it is so good. Artillery firing zombies? Yep.

How are you playing Mario Land 3? Emulator or old school GB? Switch?

Time to give Insanity mode a go.
Wtf??

Ah...
Indie World Time!
Woodo seems... nice? I'm getting so old.
Rotwood seems cool too. a 2.5D brawler from the Don't Starve team. Gogo local co-op!
so far it's pretty good, not much in the way of filler. Most games seem like something I'd like to play.
And it's over. Blue Prince releases on Switch today. Not sure if it's something I'd want to play, but if so I'd play it on Switch.
