Step 1
Download Mupen 64 on your android or iOS device
Step 2
Get the roms for whatever games you wish to play
Step 3
You just saved 50 dollars and can play so many more games

that's why big N is so strict about any unlicensed content in the internet

Also some people consider it piracy even though it's vaporwave
if you cant buy it then just download it for free, no strings attached and no guilt
So yes play Mario 64 on your phone to your heart's content

piracy is about living platforms, like current gen consoles and most of PC games post-DOS era
but when some platform is not being made anymore, then it's nothing good in charging for the games for that platform again and again

with how many rom websites they've taken offline it's gotten harder and harder, from what i've seen
mostly consisting of games they're no longer producing or selling (nor their consoles), meaning they don't lose any money from people emulating those games

yea, when you update to the latest version of war3 (which you need to do if you want to go online), they make you d/l the remake assets, so your 1.5 gig war3 becomes a 30 gig game

The scenario I was always presented was being able to buy and sell unique items on whatever marketplace you had
For example, if you had an MMO and you killed 100 chickens with a sword, it might become "Character Name's sword of Chicken Slaying"

So I truly got my money's worth

Witcher 3 can be nice, but damn is it overloaded with side stuff that's barely does anything and just takes up space on the map.

Hey are the ace attorney games any good? They seem really interesting..
junior crown
From what I have seen and watched, they are generally pretty nice, BUT the way how cases unfold or some reveal or something else can be a bit eeeh. Some stuff in it can be dumb, so best way of playing them is to expect such and be ready. Gameplay rarely can you fail at, but there can be moments where it's just trial and error if the correct solution (or the way how game wants you to present said solution) didn't show up to you.
junior crown
It's a nice series to experience, but yeah there are def flaws that like to show up once in a while.
coral hawk
Yeah sometimes you know the answer but you still have to go through it incorrectly so the character ends up at the answer
its awkward at certain points but its not a bad game/series

Hey are the ace attorney games any good? They seem really interesting..
this is a series with lots of games to choose from. starting from the earliest one is the natural choice, but if you just want to jump into something good then the Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a good entry point too. It's more polished and a better experience overall
untold hornet
Im starting with the earliest game I think, I'm watching a youtuber play through it because I don't have the option to get the game for myself at the moment

I think that's the only reason I just stopped playing right before the finale lo...
same, although i'm not sure how close i was to the finale. i stopped after that kaer morhn (is that how it's spelled?? i have no idea) battle

i feel like ace attorney is best experienced by playing the og trilogy imo
those are still the best in the series
i've played all games so far (apart from aai2 since it was never localized and the great ace attorney collection bc i haven't gotten around to buying it) and i can honestly say the original trilogy imo is still the strongest when it comes to character development, writing and the humor

i played ace combat 5, zero, and 7. i dont know what to say about gameplay other than it's fun and what you can expect. the flight control is not hard , most of the time you only have to point and shoot, sometimes in harsh conditions like having to fly through canyons and such ( maybe too simple for flight sim fans)
what makes it memorable for me are story and characters. lots of dialogue during missions. plus the music is amazing, one of the best game soundtracks imo. just watch the trailers and feel the hype

Another earthbound inspired RPG, I know, but this one's actually good. Great story, amazing characters, and some moments are the embodiment of the meme of the guy laughing and crying. There's some DLC that I haven't gotten to yet, but I hope it's just as good as the rest of the game. A quick warning though, it gets dark like, really dark, so if you're not comfortable with gore etc, skip this one out. Otherwise, please, I implore you to play it

A tip for future reccs
Please don't mention it's Earthbound inspired cause it became such a meme game genre that it turns everyone off

it seems the cart gameplay is real time controlled by player.
interesting that you can run over stuff in it. Wonder if it will have some gameplay element or just there for visual sake.

though setbacks can def be harsh, if you are late into the game.

world of Pokémon is unfortunatelly shallow.. when you start asking too many question, the very fabric of this reality can be compromised
like, are there any other non-pokémon animals.. why is all the society and infrastructure is built around pokémons..
why pokeballs existed for centuries, even though they look like modern devices
etc
the universe is pretty interesting, but it's hard to put serious themes in it
rancid token
I mean I'd consider Black and White to have touched on some decently serious themes, and a lot of the specifics across the series have had a good emotional core and story to tell, but a lot of it is held back in trying to be for everyone and resting on laurels
Like I don't think they need to go fangame dark with it, they just need to realize that they don't have to treat the target audience, children, like idiots
Arceus looks like an interesting gameplay toss-up and I hope they stick the landing on it and keep what it introduces around (even though I'm sure they'll just toss it all for no good reason like every other decent new mechanic)

have not read it in quite a many years but i remember liking what i read. also theres that whole infamous gen 5 gym leaders tied up on crosses bit?? where was that in the games

What are everyone's favorite Switch games in general honestly.
quartz hatch
i think video games just have a sense of interactivity that doesn't translate well onto a movie screen
more cinematic games might work as movies (uncharted, god of war 2018 etc.) because they're already cinematic in style, but often what make games fun is you interacting with the medium itself
dire condor
Exactly.
quartz hatch
the witcher show is based off the books rather than the games right?
ocean iris
yeah it doesnt really count
adapting books is really easy because it's more of an invisible imagination of those who read it
but it's inspired by the first book
i mean not inspired
yeah true that
but i'd say video games are kind of a tier above movies when it comes to adaptations
like, in the future book adaptations would probably be games

Well, if you're a new fan most of the things in the game wouldnt matter but for fans of the previous games
Oh boy.
Ok so basically, the loot economy is screwed because you find legendaries literally everywhere
Where as in the previous games you'd be thanking every god that has ever been conceived for that sweet sweet Rolling Thunder or Unkempt Herald
Then the story which ngl the bar was set slightly low for the Borderlands games but this is just way too bad
Then there's the difficulty, the game is wayyyy too easy on Normal mode
I literally beat every boss without getting in Fight for your life
Speaking of bosses, now they got invincibility phases which just makes it ughhhh
dire condor
just sounds like the SMT3 remaster tbh

The first time I did my first vault monster, everything was so hyped, I was really pumped because the mission was really fast paced and then when the monster got it's first invincibility phase all my excitement died out
They also pulled off a Season Pass 2 BS
and the thing is it's not even that good like damn it's just skill trees and some stupid game mode that milks Axton and Salvador
The game absolutely craps all over the game's legacy, the previous vault hunters and established characters
And the first season pass which I got in the super deluxe edition (thankfully i paid 38 euro and not 100), literally only one DLC was good which was the one about Moxxi's and the casino, the atmosphere reminded me about Alien Isolation in a way
I say just skip 3 entirely and look forward to Wonderlands

Lmao borderlands 2 fight for Sanctuary bricked the game on release on switch
They even left in dev commands
50% bricked 50% were left alone with commands such as spawn 8 random guns, and kill everything in a 10 meter radius
That's the day I started playing
stark kraken
Well, if you're a new fan most of the things in the game wouldnt matter but for ...
Fair but UH is a 10% drop from a dupe enemy in a starting area
Loot is always weird
If anything its intentional. Strong easy to get pistol.
First boss drops a decent pistol at like 10% chance
Game loot systems just tend towards looser than tighter, you know? BL1's loot system is where Legendaries are something you work towards. I got my first Firehawk in Old Haven.

God damn was Borderlands LC that bad on switch at launch?

Speaking of which my Borderlands Legendary Collection copy might arrive tomorrow
Bought this as well, digital of course. I dropped it, I just can’t stand the open nature of the world and how bad vehicle controls are. Every quest feels like a slog when you can’t control vehicles well
ocean iris
I mean I played on PC only and it's just moving the mouse left and right for steering, W/S accelerate, reverse, boost etc.
I got no idea how the controls are on consoles
stark kraken
Yup. It was hilarious.
I ended up modding on a switch bl server over all of it
The whole community popped off and discovered every dev command
The big issue was that the game took a month to fix
And it was only free for like a month
sleek quiver
Well, left stick up down for accelerate and braking, and right stick for left and right
stark kraken
People were locked out by an update even if they just bought it
sleek quiver
If you’re used to playing racing games, this control scheme is horrendous
stark kraken
Vehicles in borderlands are just meant to be janky and bad
You're supposed to crash them
Then they try to do serious stuff with them and it fails
sleek quiver
They don’t actually meant for you to just walk, right? No?
stark kraken
The part where you jump over the prison wall in the Knoxx dlc? That's broken on switch
No. Just get used to it for your like settlement to settlement travel
They arent perfect games
The fps change I guess makes the jumps much harder
sleek quiver
I mean, Witcher 3, RDR2, both have horses
stark kraken
Yeah but those are better made movement wise
sleek quiver
Oof
stark kraken
You are really meant to crash in bl
You dont really get injured
So just joyride and shoot stuff
Run over enemies if you want
They just shouldnt have tried to make it an actual mechanic that locks DLC progress
I had to grenade jump
sleek quiver
Well, walking is fine, but then enemies respawns as well, and everything turns to a slog and repetitive after that. I guess it works because the nature of the looter shooter genre, but, ehh, I really dislike just having to kill the same things over and over again. If vehicles are fine, or fast travel is everywhere, I’m probably ok with it
Probably just a me thing though
stark kraken
Yeah that's just how it works
It does get boring eventually

Anybody else into Supermassive Games’ work? Binged through House of Ashes and Little Hope yesterday, pretty satisfying for smaller releases than Until Dawn

Only played UD personally
It's hilarious how down Rami Malek was billed given he was a Small-Timer back then
And now he's by far the most famous of them

the ape took me so long 😭
i swear the only bosses i found more difficult than ...
Bit late but, I hate the first ape phase. I literally just wait for an opening.
vivid mesa
No More Heroes 3 is just as awesome as I'd anticipated
polar dragon
congrats!!!
woven breach
Guess who beat ||father hoot hoot, true corrupted monk and a headless|| then almost got killed by a chicken
truly
the most legendary enemy in Sekiro
lusty pendant
from what I've heard on the winds, the true bosses of Sekiro are indeed ||the critters||
woven breach
ngl tho, ||Great Shinobi Hoot Hoot|| is a fun and challenging boss. I love it a lot more than ||Gigantic Ape||
