Is nostalgia blinding you or do you like to share your collection of old games? Here's the channel just for you!

[somber skiff]

Im here cuz gaming is epic

[lunar charm]

It totally is

[solemn depot]

If they do another third party switch online actually hope the 3D0 is one of them, sure it wasn't a success but it is still gaming history and actually has a few games that, I, would call underrated.

[solemn depot]

"uhm, sorry sir but that NES you sent me doesn't play the games, it just summons Nyarlathotep"

[dusk dawn]

https://youtu.be/aqM7ayU0CNg I remember playing this game when I was very small, but looking at it now fills me with nostalgia, bro this is just Sesame Street, why does it have a banger like this? I guess many kids games made for the n64 still wanted to make good bangers

the fact this game and the letter one didn't even get bothered to be datamined or have their soundtracks uploaded is kinda criminal ngl, yeah these are lame games, but they are like alright for what they are

https://youtu.be/vKC3To-SZfw the Tom and jerry n64 fighting game is also a nostalgic favorite for me as well, same Newkidco team behind it too

[dusk dawn]

https://youtu.be/KpvvlL_r75I man, this song still is a banger even now, sheeesh! Columns 3 goes hard man

[dusk dawn]

really obscure-ish game on the SNES thats really decent

[wintry yoke]

Ooo

[dusk dawn]

https://youtu.be/e7kwoHOciDM

ok honestly tho, i really enjoyed this game and i cant unhear this music without laughing uncontrollably from Wario saying random things and screaming all the time lmao

[wintry yoke]

It's so good

Enjoyed streaming it

[dusk dawn]

definetly, i always thought of this game as like Wario's own Mario 64 in a way, like a 3D Wario Land game

its a really nice game

[dusk dawn]

https://youtu.be/LnmWQeAPCTU i used to play the heck out of this game

fun fact about this game: the composer for this game is the same one that did the music for DOOM 2016

THE RAAAYMAAAAN 4!

THE RAYMAN 4 IS REEEEEAAAAAAALLL

on christmas eve too, awesome present

[solemn depot]

so is it an actual in development Rayman 4 or is it a leak of a cancelled game?

[dusk dawn]

entire code of cancelled version of the game that was leaked on 4chan around christmas eve or christmas day

that Rayman 4 that we were once gonna get before it changed into the Rayman Raving Rabbids game on the wii

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ac/Rrr-wii-cover.jpg

never thought i would see the day that this would be found, but this is a christmas present!

[dusk dawn]

eyy that looks really sweet!

[dusk dawn]

https://youtu.be/kpj-VLduJSw this music is so crazy that it exists in a Looney Tunes game of all things! I used to play this a bunch!

[dusk dawn]

might be an obscure thing to talk about, but this is a cancelled Tom and Jerry SNES game (not to be confused with the other Tom and Jerry snes game that did come out) that had two prototypes found three years ago, one made around 1994, and this one made around 1995 before it got cancelled
https://youtu.be/OkwDzZRlFi4

this game has a very arcade-y feel to it, but the animations are surprisingly really good for the SNES

[dusk dawn]

https://youtu.be/hgsZW4e6WHk this is going to feel weird but im currently getting into a vibe of looking at retro bootleg games that i did play in the past, i remember playing this Mario one on the genesis, and for a bootleg, its actually not too bad

[wintry yoke]

Bootlegs are a fun wormhole

[dusk dawn]

they sure are to see what kind of silly abominations that can be found

https://youtu.be/qDbRlmH-pxc this infamous Sonic bootleg on SNES also stuck with me, probably from how weird and eerie it felt playing as Sonic in a dark forest with a red sky that sounds like something out of a 2011 creepypasta

[wheat spindle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFRfuMe43QA I wrote music using a tracker! what do you guys think?

It uses the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon; Explorers soundfont btw ;)

[dusk dawn]

ey thats pretty great

Anyone want to see one of the few pieces of footage from the gamecube era of Perfect Dark Zero?

[dusk dawn]

i do remember the original N64 Perfect Dark, so im curious on what this version was before microsoft bought rare

[solemn depot]

Probably not significantly different from this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31W1ogg-Dqo

[dusk dawn]

i guess there wasnt too much in the way with it before or after the buyout

[narrow oyster]

Lol thanks

[dusk dawn]

same

[narrow oyster]

I would pop off if the direct today mentioned Ever Oasis ngl

[dusk dawn]

Ever Oasis switch port nearing the final years of the switch lol

[narrow oyster]

Oh is there gonna be another console soon?

[dusk dawn]

idk

but theres been a lot of guesses going around and so on

unconfirmed as just rumors that probably dont mean much

[narrow oyster]

Let's see Gamecube was 2001, Wii was 2006, Wii U was 2012, Switch was 2017

So the window's about right

But honestly, for some reason I figured they were just gonna stick with the Switch

[light patrol]

I expect Switch to last into 2025, and possibly up to 2026.

It's clear sales are beginning to slow down from Nintendo's investor meeting

[dusk dawn]

i mean the switch is still good but with how much they were to get out of it in just 5-6 years, it would eventually run out of steam in slowing down

personally 2024 to 2025 sounds the most they can get far to it

[light patrol]

2024 is too early IMO

Splatoon 3 will be supported into 2024

[dusk dawn]

i dont see why it would be "too early", please elaborate

i mean for about 6 going into 7 in the next year

[light patrol]

Zelda DLC, Splatoon needs support, Switch fostered the sales of the best selling games in JP's history last year - twice.

There is at least two more years left in this thing IMO

I think this Direct will make that pretty clear

Nintendo expects to sell 18 million units for FY2022

It'll drop but even 10+ million a year on a console over 120 million is super impressive

Nintendo will keep supporting Switch as long as it sells

[dusk dawn]

you know saying that makes we wonder how things will go for the next console post switch if history were to repeat itself with the wii success and the wii u.

granted not a guarantee, but still a worry i have

i mean how do you even go further than switch anyways?

[light patrol]

Just depends on what Nintendo does. I think a console that keeps the idea of Switch, is backwards compatible, and is up to PS4 Pro power is a pretty sure way of selling 40+ million units.

That said, I do not think there is a way the next console can surpass Switch.

[dusk dawn]

that and also with Nintendo's attitude on what they decide to do, your idea was plausible in theory, but will they actually go through with it despite making sense? i dont believe so

[light patrol]

Furukawa has made it clear that they want to be very careful with the next console

I don't think they'll take a big risk

[dusk dawn]

kinda like the wii u just riding off the wii's success as a new console and not take that big of a risk?

[light patrol]

What killed the Wii U isn't really that it was a Wii successor IMO, just that it has an unnecessary gimmick, few games, and terrible marketing.

I think if they just made an HD Wii with no frills and just games it could have been a lot better

[dusk dawn]

the marketing i can understand, but it did have a ton of games tho

[light patrol]

pffffffffffffffffffffft

there were like 3-5 first party games a year in the Wii U era

[dusk dawn]

i mean like overall

[light patrol]

and no third party

[dusk dawn]

im not saying it didnt have a few games at the start

[light patrol]

At the end of its life it did accrue a decent selection, sure

but there was just no momentum, excitement, or many games in the early to mid life

and by the time it did the writing was on the wall on NX

[dusk dawn]

the wii u did feel like it suffered a similar fate to the virtual boy

had a bunch of games made, marketing was subpar, and the gimmick was lame

[granite nova]

Probably the new console would release with the new generation.

Despite it's underpower from the other consoles, it's still selling well, and even, better than the other consoles

I wonder if the next console will be a more powerful switch or will have another innovation? Bc I don't see anything that can be improved on the switch's formula, other than d-pads and hall effect analog sticks

[solemn depot]

Are the Wonder/Monster world games worth playing?

Because they look interesting but I am unsure.

[dusk dawn]

surely they are

[solemn depot]

Good because I am planning on playing one and I noticed they looked kind of like Shantae in terms of game design.

[amber gazelle]

Solid action platformer

The newer games are kind of Wayforward-ish I guess yeah. I wonder if Shantae took inspiration from them.

[granite nova]

The last DS games on earth

[amber gazelle]

Don’t use DKoldies

https://youtube.com/shorts/lP71E8jFWTY?feature=share

[thorn elbow]

aside from this their business model genuinely makes me cry

trying to scalp as much money by nostalgia-tripping people who aren't very knowledgable about the retro market and the options

so yes please never use dkoldies

[granite nova]

Their prices are just too high for me and my 3rd world college student budget so I have never bought from them, but seeing vids who blame them, I don't want to buy there anymore...

[thorn elbow]

oh totally their prices are way too high

[dusk dawn]

i remember loving this game as a personal looney tunes fan & a nintendo nerd a long time ago, it kinda gave me Mario 64 vibes mixed with a bit of Crash Bandicoot, Banjo & Kirby with how much fun you can play around with in an open environment, the Ed Edd n Eddy game is also another great one i enjoy too. these are pretty silly but surprisingly high quality licensed games. btw the music in these games are seriously awesome, the Taz game especially got a real movie composer to make the music for the game, that was a fun fact that i didnt know until a few years ago, i always recommend giving them a listen on youtube or anywhere else if you want to, banger stuff

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61T7NDEV1WL._SY445_.jpg

[granite nova]

I tried playing the ed, edd n eddy one some years ago, but apparently it only has english and french dubs and they just spoke too fast, my english isn't that advanced to understand everything they say and it doesn't have subs. I could only get like the half of what they said, it seemed fun tho

I tried getting back to the game, now on pc, some months ago, to be able to play it with headphones and get a better glimpse of what they say, I got it from a weird website that preserved old pc games and I ended up bricking my pc, fortunately I had an automatic restore point from that same day at the morning bc I installed powertoys

[dusk dawn]

ohhhh interesting

i actually played the game in full from start to finish, all the bonuses, everything, its a really fun game once you play around with the ed boy's controls, i enjoyed the game because for the most part, its very faithful to the show, all the voices, the areas, even the same music is here, its like you are watching the show either for the first time or as a bonus after the show, its pretty noice, but for anyone who has never seen or heard of Ed Edd n Eddy, this might be a new, weird experience for them tbh

[granite nova]

Yeah, I could notice that when I played it

[dusk dawn]

mhm, speaking of pc. i played the Taz game on my PC a long time ago because it was available to work on it, i remember playing a lot of it, it was really fun, right up there with Sonic Adventure DX and a few others

[granite nova]

Nice, I never had disc-based pc games outside of a single edutainment one about spanish (I don't think it's preserved anywhere, can't remember it's name and the disc got lost)

[dusk dawn]

i see, i do remember owning an old CN disc that i tried on PC a very long time ago, i still remember getting it and putting it on my computer, CN All Stars

it mostly contained a bunch of flash games put in a CD rom disc

[granite nova]

(sorry for changing the topic, I was typing since my last message) Probably not retro, but lately I've been playing adventure time hey ice king why'd you steal our garbage on my 3ds, I never really understood how to play it bc it's like zelda 2, it's a sidescroller adventure where you are introduced to a big map with a lot of places to go and little to no context at all. So some days ago I got into it again and somehow managed to gather info around and knew what to do, everything seemed kinda difficult until I got the sword, afterwards everything became pretty straightforward. And just today I finished it

The game is actually really underrated, it was pretty good and the sountrack banged, specially the title screen song and the song from the cloud kingdom. The soundtrack was composed by jake kaufman, the one who composed for shovel knight

[granite nova]

Never heard of it, but nice

[dusk dawn]

and also Shantae early on too

if memory serves me right

[granite nova]

The game was made by wayforward, makes sense, I guess

[dusk dawn]

the only game he didnt compose for was Seven Sirens

but other than that, he was the go-to guy for shantae music

[dusk dawn]

oh yeah i remember that, and i also remember a regular show 3ds game too

[granite nova]

Also, spoiler, but ||gotta love how the intro sequence (finn's dream) has nothing to do with the actual game and doesn't matter at all, lol, I always thought it was some kind of premonition and that that was going to happen somewhere on the game||

[dusk dawn]

||i mean this is the same guy that has weird astral projection dreams and other freaky weird stuff, so i guess thats just something he has||

[granite nova]

Oh, and ||the fire kingdom was too small, it was a single section lmao||

||I thought it was some kind of postgame but you only have to go there to deliver the fire pup from the snow golem to the flame princess and then the flame princess gives you the glowing sword and that's it||

[granite nova]

Yeah, I need to play that game too

[lapis pilot]

Hopefully later this year like maybe October, November or December. Maybe November seems like the perfect time for them to do all of those games. I feel like December should be saved for Super Smash Bros as a way to end off the year.

Once we get to 2025 and the new system launches that is when I think they will save their big guns like for example adding Gamecube games.

Here's my additional two cents about why there's no VB NSO yet: The emulator was probably newly made for the museum, now that there's some genuine motivation for it, and they'll wait until the next big NSO revamp to release it.

Honestly, they can see like an vb nso

Virtual Boy would be really cool to have. I would get that just for Virtual Boy Wario Land.

[lunar charm]

like, there are 22 virtual boy games

[lapis pilot]

Basically that is like enough to complete the entire catalogue.

I know that may seem small but still.

Virtual boy is cool but if you remove the 3D effect you remove a big part of the gameplay

The best way to play it is definitely on the 3DS

After emulating it all these years then finally playing it on the 3DS when the emulator came out was literally game changing

These games include, but are not limited to:

Crazy Taxi

If you want to get 2 dreamcast games and you already have 3 of them get the bundle instead, you get all of them and it's like paying for 2.5 games, oddly specific but I just checked it last night lol

Half-Life 2's 20th anniversary update is out, episodes were merged into the main game, and added workshop support.

It is also free to keep if you get it until 18th.

Also half life saga is on sale

I got half life 1, opperation force, blue shift and black mesa for like $5

However I didn't knew the half life 2 episodes were merged, I almost accidentally buy orange box (hl2, portal 1 and tf2) while already having portal 1 and the free hl2 💀

Good thing I happened to check before buying

OH, and Epic is gifting castlevania anniversary collection

So I've counted. The NSO Online has received 52 new games across all consoles this year (North America/PAL Versions)
It is now the same amount of games we got last year in 2023. And a large portion of that number was because they added the Gameboy and GBA that year.

And we're presumably getting DKL3 soon cause of DKL 1 & 2 releasing days between each other.

[granite nova]

The other day I checked the game boy library, how have they not added mario deluxe yet? 💀

Not even the wario lands, only 3 is there

Probably 4 in advance tho

The first game to be delisted

[lapis pilot]

And it won’t be the only one because eventually there will be more deletions.

[granite nova]

I thought NSO would never get a delisting

Mostly because it never happened before, so I thought it was kind of nintendo's contract keeping it until the service dies

There are now 35 games on the Game Boy Online

But when are they going to put wario land 1 and 2?

I mean, with the rise of the wario-likes I think that's something they should do 🤔

The Homebrew Channel has ceased development. A developer alleges that key figures in the Wii homebrew community stole code from Nintendo and other projects.

"The Wii homebrew community was all built on top of a pile of lies and copyright infringement"

Also... The Homebrew Channel was already dead. There was no real development being done for the last 10 years. The thing is just stable. You're missing nothing.

Wii Homebrew is not going to die all of a sudden either, but people still think Nintendo is like a serial killer that doesn't stop

Do someone here has the NSO GC controller?

If so, is the controller's C button rebindable? e.g so you can map it to -?

I'm considering getting one of them at least for pc for the time being as I heard it's so similar to an actual gc controller + it has modern rumble, gyro, ZL, home and the capture button. My only concern are the lack of clickable thumb sticks, minus button and the lack of compatibility with switch 1

I hope they add support to switch 1 on a future update

I just replayed Super Duper sumo's from the GBA. really weird but I still find it a charming game. I would post a video of it but I could only find one reasonable one and...well I don't even know if I can even repost the thumbnail.

In fact I don't think I can even share the games box art that's how 👀 it is.

And the worst part is, that cover art is relatively tame compared to what the show was actually like.

it aired on Nickelodeon in America. and entered production during that period of time when Disney owned DiC (though it released after Disney sold the division).

relistening to this music made me realize that this is like the musical mashup of having a nervous breakdown, circus music, alien invasion, and the descent into madness

this would sound fitting to play in the joker movie with how all three of the songs gradually gets worse and worse into the insanity in the music

can you believe that bubsys voice in this game is the exact same who played rouge in sonic adventure 2?

good luck sleeping with that knowledge tonight
