Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Pokémon™ Legends: Z-A

@Mai Valentine  --> Did you ever go back to Pokemon Blue, Red, and Yellow at any point?

I think my son is going to get this game at some point.  This looks like a great addition to the Pokemon Series.  I've had my fair share of complaints of the last couple releases (long story)... but I also dig the series a lot and have many things that I like as well.  I think it was mostly the odd looking "motorcycle" that was off-putting.  I know... picky.

@targetrasp -- are you not as much of a fan of the tactics genre?    @SpartanEvolved  was also mentioning how hard it was in terms of difficulty. 

I haven't opened mine yet... of course...

100% agree @CreepinDeth ... the 4k details are pretty cool, IMO.   The detailed comparison between the Mario 3D All Stars version and this Super Mario Galaxy 1+2 release is well done.   I was a little surprised and the changes did make a visual difference.

@Kinikko --> With these enhancements... is this more on your radar?

@Mai Valentine -- is this something that is on your list?  Or is it a "eh, maybe" game?

@targetrasp -- you know... I thought for sure this was a big hit from the gaming golden years.  Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought this was a highly sought after game from the way back.  Maybe it doesn't track as well these days?

Out of the 46 games that I have for the console, Lunar is stealing the thunder from Animal Crossing. Even though I am slowly going through that game because I stop to grind for a while. I hate just barely beating bosses with half of my team crushed.

This game is peaking my interest. What keeps me away from Lunar is your grind comments LOL... and that it's keeping you away from Animal Crossing --> @retro junkie


@targetrasp --> What about Advanced Wars?

@targetrasp  - I believe that was Metroid Prime Remastered.  However, you should be able to get that now... I recently picked it up.  If remember right, it was very hard to get at 1st.... or at least I have that memory. 

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond shouldn't have that problem (knock on wood).  I'm definitely interested... but probably not day 1 and hoping for maybe a discount next year (doubt that will happen either lol)

waiting for it to hit Disney +. Marvel's first family has never been done well outside of comics, The jessica alba movies were OK, the other one was OK, I'm sure this one will be OK too. Tired of going to movies for OK.

I hear you @targetrasp - Hopefully you find this one good... I thought it was pretty good.  Others seemed to enjoy it as well, and hopefully you do as well.  Post up once you check it!  I'm a bit surprised no one else caught this:

Wonderful post @CreepinDeth   There's a lot of new stuff coming from Steam!  The Steam machine is interesting... it said something like 6x the power of the Deck... and that's oddly specific lol.   Maybe that's also why they're not bringing out the Deck 2 yet.

I am not trying to judge... but the new controller looks ... like not the greatest design?   Reminds me of the old Atari Jaguar Controller LOL.

Waiting on a lot of prices right now... I wonder what they're going to charge.  Is there anything anyone is pumped for?

General Discussion / Re: What gaming related trends...

Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 17, 2025, 10:21:45 AM

This is not so much about "gaming trends that have grown off of me," but more of what I've grown into.

This is a great topic... we should create a topic for the inverse as you mentioned!  Do you want to create that @retro junkie as it's your idea?  If not, I can get it.

In the past I often haunted bargain bins and clearance shelves, for example picking up a 32X from Kay Bees for $19 and its games for $9.99 each. It doesn't take long to learn that you wait for the sale and not for the release day.

** This is something that truly seems like they're figuring out a way to eliminate.  Digital Distribution was the start of that.  Now that Digital Distribution has matured a lot more, releases are starting to get more sparse in terms of supply.  So if you don't jump on it, it's gone.  Limited releases... right sized release quantities, etc.  Even Nintendo 1st party, with a large supply, don't seem to discount THAT much and it takes awhile.

There's been a small resurgence with some decent game (Streets of Rage 4 comes to mind) and some good compilations but I just don't get the mileage out of them I used to.

same here... I used to be a side scroll beat-em-up junkie. I don't know what it is... I just don't get into them as much.  Rival Turf, Battle Toads, Double Dragon... although, I think I still like Nam-1975 lol. 

COD4: Modern Warfare is where I truly got hooked.

Dude... Cod4 - Modern Warfare was life changing IMO.  There will never be anything else like it and the bridge has been used up - Does that make sense?  I don't want to say never, but I don't think anything else will compare.  I'm pretty sure I've talked about this in other threads... yup, this topic:

Online has grown off me a bit as well... except getting together with friends and playing... especially co-op lol.    This is always why we are trying to get more CDG members together to play and meet to meet-ups.  It creates a better network of people that get together and play.
