Also one of the best ways to hook up a C64 with a little modification to the cable.

Problem is that some subgenres and experiences are not developed anymore because they feel outdated or not fit for live-service or megablockbuster releases publishers want for their shareholders. So people get excited when they at least acknowledge the existence of more niche stuff in the safest way

Just having this as a screensaver/dynamic wallpaper would be awesome.

It seems like a mistake but I could see Nintendo trying to get their feet wet with a Xenoblade or Bayonetta PC release. Apparently Sony made good money with PC ports and those franchises are among the lowest selling Nintendo releases on Switch but could to well with the PC audience.

except that one time back in 2008

Better idea: First rocket on a giant tower above the trailing rocket! This way you already gained some altitude and possibly reduced air resistance!

What about "New Play Control! Pikmin" and 2? Those are technically different, improved versions from their Gamecube originals.

The wave if formed exactly like it should. Peak waveform.

I'm pretty sure this will be the first top 10 where none of my personal favourites make it in and most wont even touch the top 50, but the PS3 is a system that allows this range. There's totally different kinds of PS3 players.

EO5 for sure is one of those games where you wake up years later with an idea for a party setup somehow planted in your mind, and then you have to search and dust off the 3DS to try it. Happened to me more times than I'm comfortable to admit.

That was already very much the case during the 10th Doc but written in a way that you were kinda onboard for it. There's a point where you kinda lose your patience though.

So sad Arkanoid DS didn't even made it in the list even with a single point. It's by far the best arkanoid/breakout style home version to this very day. Now I feel guilty not putting it in my Top 10.

Ninjatown really does not belong in this lot!

Half of my Top 10 is racing games xD. The PSP was really gifted in that genre. Like Test Drive Unlimited. What a miracle port. To this day I'm amazed how they managed to cram the entirety of Oahu on this little machine!

My uneducated guess: Sliced hot dog bun. One part spread with raspberry or strawberry jam. The other part spread with peanut butter. Peeled banana in the middle.

It's incredible how so many of my favorite DS games are deep in the 70s on metascore sites like Etrian Odyssey and Infinite Space. The DS had such a deep and very much underrated, often misunderstood library. Even the actual slop was fun sometimes. I fondly remember this tank drawing game.

Thank you!

Can you give a source on the Switch being more powerful? I thought they're about equal. At least by comparing Elden Ring which looks like it has higher settings on my Deck but also runs with 720p at 30 fps.

That's exactly what they said and done in the last two Nintendo generations. Then they did one port of a 3 year old version to the new hardware and if consumers were dumb enough to keep buying they keep releasing "legacy versions" aka full price roster updates.

It may sound crazy to most, but "Joy Con 2 mouse mode support patch for 'Game Builder Garage'" is the single reason I preordered a Switch 2. Wasn't even considering it, but they got me there.

Maybe that AliExpress dropship PC that's boldly advertised as "mid-tier" on Amazon (as in: It kinda runs Fortnite)

BTW discovery for me happens mostly on YouTube and the good 'ol webradio. Many stations sadly died in the last years but there's still a healthy selection even for niche tastes. Sometimes you have to look at foreign non-english-speaking places for them though, but the language of music is universal.
comment in response to post
If it's not on Bandcamp it's usually on Qobuz and they allow high quality downloads too. That's my solution but my taste is still very slanted to underground scenes so it may not work for radio music.

4k on a 1080p monitor and hoping there'll be some antialiasing this way. It took long years to unlearn being a 144hz PC pleb and get used to 60 again, I'm not jeopardising this for Metroid.

This right here is my Shmup happy place. The first boss from Raizings 'Armed Police Batrider'. The dynamic movement of the whole section. The absolute badassery of this tracked mech that is armed to the teeth. The colors. The music. Large Armed Hover Car 'Conflict' is just peak shmup boss design!

I'd pay for a "Windows 3.1 UI Wizard". That'd be incredible. Doubly so if you somehow could make it work on a website.
comment in response to post
This is incredible! If you convert those into .umx, name them correctly and replace the ones in the UT/Music folder, they just work ingame, right?

Used prices almost gone back to the original retail price in some parts of the world last time I looked. This might be the year someone finally thinks this will be a good deal! And once you've scraped of the original OS and replaced it with Project Eris, it's better than a Emulation-Rasperry Pi.

Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC (Just judging by the amount of hours of fun and motivation of playing through it. Sorry Space Marine 2, you couldn't even get me through the end, which probably wasn't as much of a tear jerker than the emotional finale of this silly VS DLC.)
comment in response to post
That said, new style open World Zelda would absolutely rock in the same way that the co-op Skyrim mod is totally awesome when you don't have too many game breaking bugs in your session.
comment in response to post
I feel the franchise is a bit trapped. Most expect a singleplayer Zelda and that audience would see a multiplayer Zelda as a lesser game automatically. Same happened with Dragon Quest: Even though DQ9 was great and sold well, it has carried a "bad DQ' stigma ever since, especially in Japan.

Me but it's the 10th time I play paral... erm.. alteration/conjuration mage with my two Dremora Lord friends that ignore difficulty scaling, tirelessly hacking at the limp bodies below them while screaming "I HONOR MY LORD BY DESTROYING YOU!"

You ~could~ strap a water jet behind your back or a kyteboard on your feet to prove a point. Going a low gravity orbit by plane or rocket works as well. But maybe hanging on a swing bar and jumping twice, once on the ground, then midair, is a more sensible option.
