So I bought the bayonetta 1 & 2 wii-u disc copy a while back. Finally started 1. It's, uh, interesting. Doesn't seemed to have aged well. Is it a bad idea to skip it?

Also for some reason half the audio doesn't work
What about it do you feel hasn't aged well? I'd never played any Bayonetta games, or even much in the way of Platinum/Clover games, before I got it on the WiiU. While I find it difficult (especially in terms of getting a good rating in the stages), I still find it quite an enjoyable game. I dunno, if you don't enjoy 1, you probably won't enjoy 2.

The C64 was completely forgettable and is about as relevant to the "do new gamers play older mario games" as it would be to ask if newer gamers play games on their TI-82s.
Creatures 1+2, Turrican 1+2, Mayhem in Monsterland, The Great Escape, Bubble Bobble + Rainbow Island (RIP Parasol Stars C-64 port), International Karate/IK+, Last Ninja trilogy, Dizzy series... the C-64 owned, and it had thousands of games (plenty of terrible 8-bit shovelware, of course). The library was massive and diverse, with everything from platformers, puzzle games, RPGs, flight sims, beat em ups.

I love You Dont Know Jack. But I need some clarification on multiplayer. It says its local multiplayer, but then it also says that up to 10,000 audience members can play along, and that it can be enjoyed over streams with remote players? I want to be able to play this with more than real life buddies.

If you stream the main screen, other people can see it and use your room code/use the spectator code to join up, and then view your stream to see the main screen. That's pretty much it afaik.

I need to read up on how badly Konami hosed up at some point, it really seemed like they left the games industry burning all their bridges and flipping it off only to come crawling back when, I presume, Pachinko started dying overnight the moment the Japanese could just gamble like everyone else in the world.

I am also one of the weirdos who never played a classic mario. I had a master system and megadrive so was totally team sonic. Only mario I played was on game boy. My first proper Nintendo console was a GameCube.

My friend had a SNES but we just played a tiny toons or taz...

Looking forward to getting a SNES mini and playing those classics for the first time

I wouldn't say Konami have 'come crawling back', they published that Bomberman game, have a new Pro Evo out, which they never stopped making in the first place, and are doing a Metal Gear cash grab that no one has seen anything of for months. That's 'eh we had this poo poo already going and might as well get some money back' to me.

They actually went on-record stating to the Fox Engine's creator that they'd never be using it for another title at the time. It's why he jumped ship to Kojima's new studio.

So how does the Jackbox stuff actually work on Switch? I know the PC ones require phones and such to join rooms, is it the same way on the Switch? Meaning, you'd need the Switch on a Wifi network in order to play?

The MGS cash grab does, however, scream "okay, how can we make some money now that our cash cow's been taken out back and shot?" Remember, this is the company that routinely reassigned their programmers to janitorial positions at their health spas.

Yeah, Konami were real shits to their game devs. After they dumped Kojima, they also issued legal sanctions against the people they dropped along with him from using Konami as a reference to future employers, or otherwise using any of the work they did there as work history.

Well, due to its popularity they've already paid for a second season.

It was pretty decent, though, as a thing.

Still want a Belmont in Smash and that somehow now seems more likely than ever. I hope it's the Captain N version.

We had a C-64 when I was growing up. I bought a Mega Drive with money I got when I made my Confirmation. After that, I was sort of in a weird mid-teens limbo where I had no money myself but felt bad asking my parents to plash a few hundred quid on a games console. So I kind of fell out of gaming after that. I got back into it in my early 20s when I played Halo with friends, so ended up getting an original XBox (after the 360 launched, I'm pretty sure). I picked up a DS Lite, then a Wii, upgraded to a 360, got the 3DS and Wii U. Now I have a PS 4, Switch and Vita to go with the Wii U and 3DS. :v:

So yeah, weirdly the Wii was my first Nintendo console. The only Mario I really played as a kid/teenager was on friends SNES'. Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart. Oh, and I played a bit of the NES games thanks to Super Mario All-Stars. So I'm also looking forward to the SNES Mini, although I've played a lot of the games on it through VC and the like.

The sooner Konami goes down in flames the sooner someone can buy the Suikoden IP and maybe make a proper Suikoden 6. Like, an actual RPG and not a F2P cash grab :effort: shitheap like Capcom did to Breath of Fire. :(

Captain N has not aged well and it was borderline insufferable even as a kid.

The Mario Bros Super show is still great because it pulls off the right levels of ham and campiness.
