Fix posted:We'd all put your dick in a dreamcast. I don't know if I would go *that* far, but I found my old DC while moving a few months ago. I thought that I had sold it at a yard sale years ago, but it was still there with 3 contollers and VMUs and all my games, and works just fine. I went on to eBay and hunted up the DC version of Gauntlet Legends straightaway. It's still fun, by the way, and the guy who does the voice narration is still delightfully over the top.

The great thing about the DC now is that the copyright protection was laughably bad and you can literally just burn games to disc and they'll work in the console. Lost your copy of Shenmue? No you didn't!

PAL update (week of November 5):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS NA update (week of November 5): quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS It's not on the PR but there's a Splatoon promo for at least one region - you can get the digital game for 20% off if you downloaded the testfire demo. Sega Mark III is the Japanese version of the Master System, and if it's the same as the JP theme it'll have a FM medley of Space Harrier/Fantasy Zone for the BGM, I think. What makes the original Electronic Super Joy different to the one they released a few months ago? That Siesta Fiesta game that's on sale has been pimped pretty heavily by Nintendo, it might be worth a look.

I had friends with massive binders filled with burned Dreamcast games, all of which booted and ran on unmodded systems. All you needed was a boot disc to defeat the initial copyright check, then you could swap in a burned game once the drive spun down.

mabels big day posted:Any reviews on The Peanuts Movie: Snoopy’s Grand Adventure ? I've completed 5 different maps so far, and having grokked the basic system early, every time (except one*) things went wrong it was squarely my own mistake. The game has a tight rule system that allows the player to affect who gets turns when, by triggering other characters to either perform their turns early, or to do XCOMesque reflex actions; or by literally stealing turns from the other team. This system can be used by bother the player AND the NPCs so the maps are designed around the player making use of that system to their own advantage, and to prevent the npc team from taking advantage of it. * There's one optional enemy in the second map whose stats you can't see, and who gets a free attack once you unlock him, which will kill the character opening the door, which is a game over. There's a small problem at that point though: The game does not do a good job of explaining the system, and the translation is dodgy (also the english VO is fairly phoned in). So at the very start you'll be restarting maps 1-3 times to learn how they let you exploit the turn system by trying out different things. Luckily the game includes options to restart either at the start of a map without ever leaving it, or at the last checkpoint you passed in the map. In addition the game also has the ability to speed up all animations a little by holding the circle button. In addition to the turn system, the game also has a positional system ala Grandia, wherein a number of characters can use guns or magic, which require line-of-sight between the attacker and the target, and which can also be blocked by shield-carrying characters if they've been positioned properly before the npc team gets their turn. And this is the second smallish issue the game has: It'll happily throw situations at you that expect you to grok and apply all the systems. In the fifth map there is an escort NPC character you have to protect. To do this you have to know how to use the initiative system to sacrifice one of your characters' moves in order to let the other three advance right up to the escort NPC, and how to use positioning and reflex shots to prevent him from taking excessive damage from ranged attacks and to retaliate early. This is fairly easy to do if the systems have clicked for you, and if not, the NPC will die on turn 2. So, in summary, if you're the kind of player who enjoys a good puzzle situation and doesn't mind sitting down and thinking 3 turns ahead, then this game is for you. If you're the kind of player who expects a smooth and friction-free cinematic ride, or whose response to adversity is to grind it out until the adversity is irrelevant, then it's better to give this one a miss.

We raised 25k in less than 24 hours for Katrina relief, PayPal froze the account and wouldn't release any funds until he gave shipping confirmations for each transaction which was thousands and despite it being charitable giving and no physical goods. He told them to give it to some charity (might have been Red Cross), but they said they could only give it to the charity that they were affiliated. That charity had a whole bunch of ethics issues about where the money was going internally, so he said gently caress it and everyone got refunded. Basically, SA was on track to raise like $100k to help people in New Orleans after Katrina devastated it and PayPal hosed it so hard that the money got refunded instead.

Didn't the making of that game involve more reasearch than Schulz ever did?* There's two of those games and in at least one of them, the Peanuts kids are present in the roles of real WWI figures; Pig-Pen is Wop May, for example. *Schulz was less of a 'write what you know' and more of a 'write what you like and research it' kind of guy, which I agree with. For example, he chose Beethoven as Schroeder's idol because he liked the sound of the name; he later incorporated references to the composer's works and life and was clearly wowed by his life story. Schroeder's obsession with the man might have been self-parody.

PAL update (week of November 12):quote:WII U RETAIL DOWNLOADS Those of you with any interest in Rodea the Sky Soldier on Wii U should pick up the physical version, as all first-print copies include the original Wii game which was developed and completed by Yuji Naka but never released - it's a substantially different game and many people prefer it to the other versions. Note the Affordable Space Adventures sale - I believe it's the first time it's been discounted. Good Game. Oh yeah:

I'm seeing the image just fine myself. It's the Sega console themes. No sign of the Dreamcast and Saturn ones, though. Also, Rodea Wii is also available on PAL versions of Rodea U. First printing only.

Depends on which version you ask. They have been out in Japan for a while now. 3DS is complete garbage -- it's the U one but with half the framerate. The U one is... sort of all right in a generic platformer thingy sense. The Wii one is what people are actually buying the game for, it's like a modern day Nights into Dream with pretty good use of the Wiimote; it also manages to look better in shadows and textures sometimes in comparison with the version for the superior hardware which is damning. The Wii version would have made the Top 5/10 lists of Wii games had it come out in 2009/2010, maybe even 2011. Now, probably few will care about it.

Knapnok confirmed that the free Affordable Space Adventures update will be out in PAL-land this week and in NA "soon after". Aside from bugfixes and other improvements based on Miiverse feedback, they're also adding an "origin story" with five extra-challenging stages that you can play right off the bat.
