@bahooney is that not promotional art for the cancelled Earthbound 64/Mother 64? I thought when they were first working on it before they cancelled and shifted over to Mother 3 that Ness was originally shown in the game
@-wc- you sir are a man of taste. I would add Sin and Punishment Star Successor, as well as an actual remastered port of the first game and maybe even a brand new one as well
Why not the first 3 Time Crisis games though? It has the foot pedal it would make sense to put the others in as well. I understand Time Crisis 4 not being there because that game would likely need beefier hardware to emulate but I would think the first 3 should be fairly easy to get running. I just don’t feel 4 light gun games justify the $750 asking price. I want to want this, and part of me does, I’m just disappointed in how bare the library for this. Not nearly as bad as the Terminator 2 cab, but between the price and needing space I would appreciate more games being put on these. I do understand licensing can get in the way, so while it would be awesome to have say House of the Dead bundled into this I get that it can’t happen, but surely they can give us more than 4 games for this price
I wish I had the knowledge to run these emulators properly. I have dolphin on my old laptop to try to run my games upscaled but even when I get it to work I can’t get it configured properly. More than anything though I would like a user friendly Wii U emulator just so I won’t lose access to Xenoblade Chronicles X forever. I already had to replace one dead Wii U…
If this is easy enough for me to install I might just pick up a second GameCube and try it out. I have a fairly extensive GCN collection including some of the rarer/valuable titles like Fire Emblem PoR, Cubivore, Custom Robo, and MGS Twin Snakes among others. I’d rather not risk damaging these disks over time. No to mention if/when the disk drive eventually dies it’s nice to know id still have a way to play these as well as all the other GCN classics
@Moroboshi876 if this does come to the west my hope is they just do a digital deluxe version that contains the new game. After all unless something like LRG gets their hands on it do we really expect a physical release anywhere outside of Japan…?
Mine died on me last year, I had to buy a replacement console online, fortunately when buying the console by itself without a game pad it wasn’t that expensive and Nintendo was able to assist with getting my previous purchases on the replacement, but I worry that the same will happen with this one. I really don’t want to lose access to Xenoblade Chronicles X… still hoping Nintendo and Monolith get the game ported/remastered on Switch or whatever its successor will be. No way a what 10-11 year old console should die like this. I don’t know how to pc emulate Wii U games but I might have to learn. I’d rather stay on the original hardware if I can though. Hopefully with reports like this going out more the community can work on ways to repair it. Does anybody here know if a good idiot proof instruction to back up the NAND?

Re: This Tiny Piece Of Plastic Could Save Your N64's Analogue Stick
@LowDefAl exactly this. When I saw the headline I thought this was a part to fix the wear and tear that plagues these controllers.
Re: How Well Do You Know Castlevania?
14/20 not bad. Was a harder quiz, ranked 6th out of 71 so far gotta say I did better than I thought
Re: Interview: "We've Been Collecting Reaction Videos" - Digital Eclipse On Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Rita's Rewind
This was by far the best announcement of Summer Games Fest for me. Anxiously awaiting the release date.

Re: Castlevania: Nocture's Teaser Trailer Drops Tomorrow, Says Netflix
Best Castlevania time period to adapt. I need to finish watching the first series, but I loved season 1
