I associate ARMS (one of my favorite games) with a famous US beach called Myrtle Beach. My family was on a long road trip vacation when the game launched, and my dad drove me from where we were staying to a GameStop to grab a copy of ARMS that I had been saving my money for. I played it nonstop across the rest of that trip, and I have several great memories of the game that happened while we were still in that area.

So to answer the question, yes, certain games do bring to mind certain locations for me.

Nice lil nod in the tagline

Also it’s so hard to believe this game came out when I was 5. Hats off to the game that spawned my love of Nintendo, my love of crossovers, and my love of platform fighters.

I still have a CRT, an NES, and Duck Hunt, so I’m good!

I love it. I’m not completely sold just yet, but I’ll definitely keep my eyes peeled

The Super Game Boy I bought a while back stopped working last week, heh. Luckily, my SNES and Game Boy Advance still work... but for how long?

I’m glad I’m blessed with such a rich retro catalogue. My father lets my siblings and I use his NES, SNES, Genesis, 64, GameCube, PS2, GBA, and Atari. We still buy “new” games for most of them. I’m glad I’m able to use them while they still run.

An awesome read! I think a lot of the magic of games is lost on my generation... Discovering something new and weird is always amazing.

I really want one of these, if not to make fun of it with my siblings. Making memes and jokes about Hotel Mario and Link: The Faces of Evil is very commonplace between my friends and I, so being able to experience the “magic” of one of these cherished classics would be hilarious.

I don’t trust crowdfunding. I just don’t. As cool as some ideas are, and as genuine as some products are, and as successful some things can be, it’s hard to tell who’s legit and who’s not.

Genuine entrepreneurs who use crowdfunding platforms probably hate consumer practices like mine, where I wait for something to actually get crowdfunded before buying it (for example, Tadpole Treble for the Wii U by Matthew Taranto).

So I guess you should only crowdfund people you trust, is what I’m getting at.

Yo I hate to be that guy who’s just asking for stuff with reckless abandon hoping for someone from the company to notice even though my efforts will ultimately be fruitless...

But could you make something, anything ARMS-related?

Only wood (I am so sorry) be interested if they released it digitally and elsewhere. Of all the retro consoles I have, the Mega Drive isn't one of them.

Alex Kidd will forever be known to me personally as that one character I vaguely remember from Sonic Racing Transformed on the 3DS.

And I also realize how saddening that may be for more experienced gamers 😅
