Well, if they won't physical collector's money, they sure all hell ain't getting them from these kinds of releases :/
Even if we have to rely on limited niche releases like Limited Run Games and such, I would still vastly prefer that over wasting money on these defective products

I merely lay out a little buffet for them on the tree trunk and before long the squirrels will start coming, and often they will just sit there right next to me, feasting on the treats.
From there,
I just have to not make any sudden movements and they will allow me to get the phone really close.

Some modern #homebrew projects these days however have found ways around the NES' hardware restrictions
Like the upcoming game "Former Dawn" by @somethinnerdy.bsky.social
who had developed a new NES mapper that allows for more unique colors to be on screen at once
The results speaks for themselves

At this point,
your ownership over a pirated game is actually much more tangible then what you get from a Game Key Card

This is the only kind of BS I'd be willing to buy from Nintendo

Same.
If a publisher feels their game isn't worth the few extra pennies a properly sized game card would cost.
They why should I think that an I.O.U of the game would be worth any of mine.
Do it right or don't do physical at all.
I hope the sale numbers will speak the truth we want

Still would love you these physical releases to get a simultaneous run of both standard and Game key Cards so publishers can actually compare sales numbers and see that no physical gamers gives a Goomba's arse about about these Game Key Card abominations

I remember playing through this one while I was attending a week long get-together thing and needed a breather for a night.
Lovely little game.
I just hated that one part hear the start where they only give you one shot to beat a certain board

That 1st gen had some interesting exploits and oversights xD
I remember as a kid, I accidentally found out you could skip the Ghost at Lavender Town using a Pokedoll.
Meaning I never actually got the Master Ball

I'm basically the same, except I don't even bother with Ultra Ball, I just use regular PokeBall.
They are significantly cheaper, with only a 50% hit to effectivity.
Plus, you get more Premier Ball as a bonus for every 10 PokeBall you purchase.

Especially if it's limited consumable the you can't really just buy more of.
Like PP UP in Pokemon

I'm that special kind of hoarder in my games where you have to take twist my arm before I actually use my consumables xD

I mean, according to the 2nd amendment,

The Super Scope might have been an exception due to how it resembles a bazooka, sniper or scope as opposed to a gun.
I do kinda like the Menacer name tho.
But yeah, when I was a kid, it was either a "zapped" or just the "gun"

The Westen version is just one big Frankenstein monster xD

You are doing the entire homebrew community an enormous favor here, paving the road for great future projects!
I thank thee

While playing through the new remasters I would constantly be switching between new and retro visuals because the brightness in these dark areas tended to differ between them, but it was never consistent.
Sometimes retro was brighter, something it was the remaster.

3 had much better and more nuanced combat imo compared to 2 with me enemy variation that weren't all just loaded with guns xD
I do feel they went a bit overboard with the flare mechanic to and how many areas were pirch black to the point you couldn't see anything without them.
comment in response to
post
I enjoyed Tomb Raider a lot but I have to say that I was not as big a fan of 2.
Unlike the first game where you had to use Lara's acrobatic skills in combat to dodge enemies,
in TR2, the majority of enemies are armed humans where you just exchange damage with little strategy :/
And the flares! -_+

This game just wanted so badly to be Symphony of the Night but out of all the Castlevania games in the GBA trilogy, its probably the least memorable.
At least it doesn't feature the tedious soul grinding of Aria/Dawn of Sorrow
And you don't plummet ad a rock looks in Circle of the Moon

Have you tried it out yet?

Always felt that the PEGI rating were much more intuitive than the ESRB
Like
What's T, M or AO rating?
If a game says 7, 12 or 18, it probably doesn't take a genius to know what that means
The PEGI labels also used to be all black & white until 2009 where they got color for better differentiation
comment in response to

Who's to say.
The Lion King was an enormous blockbuster tho so perhaps they gauged that their was still just a slim enough market they could make a few last pennies off.
It's weird tho. Whenever I actually see the game in stores or online, it tends to be the German version for some reason

Reminds me on that silly splash screen age rating for Wolfenstein 3D
Or the edgy warning on the box for Splatterhouse

People often say that the Sega 32X is basically just a super charged SVP chip middleman, and after it released, it was hard to justify developing more titles for the SVP when you wanted to sell your new fancy add-on.
I do wonder what the upper potential for the SVP could've been in the right hands?

I guess they didn't feel like trying to implement the adult Simba stages into the game and just wanted the game out the door.
What a swan song for the NES this turd of a game was :/

That's kinda crazy that the NES was supported for long enough to see an ESRB rating on one of its first party covers xD
The whole PEGI rating board didn't become the standard until like 2003, a good while into the 6th console gen
