Re: CIBSunday: Super Metroid (SNES / Super Famicom)

@Gs69 bought it by accident if you can believe that. Went to the shop to pick up a Super Game Boy and Super Metroid box was on the window. The box was as big as the one for the Super Game Boy. Nearly three decades later... I guess I lucked out!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 9th)

"Wizorb" has been around STEAM for many years now but it was only release on Switch this past week and it is by far the most brilliant "Breakout"/"Arkanoid" clone ever made. I must also try to "gather the gang" around "Prodeus" so we can set up some online matches and scratch that old school FPS itch I did not even knew I had.

@Hikingguy the name originated in Japan. They got the name due to the scrolling of the levels and the need to differentiate from 1v1 beat-em ups. The action flows much like its happening on top of a conveyor belt, continuously bringing to the player the next pieces of scenario and new enemies. I learned that from watching Game Center CX many decades ago... geez, I'm old.

Re: Feature: The Making Of Star Fox Adventures, The Game That Was Once Dinosaur Planet

I never gave a fair chance to Star Fox Adventures on the GameCube mostly because by the time I got the system I already had a huge pile of backlog to go trough thus I think it is time I change that as soon as I can free up my schedule. I've always preferred Star Fox Assault for being a proper Star Fox game. Much like Star Fox 2 on the SNES, I was gutted when the game was canned on the Nintendo 64, it would have been an epic swan song for the system. I also condone everyone saying on my gameplay video that this was all Miyamoto's fault. It is Alway easy for us in the cosy distance of the present to judge the past without any risks, but for the people living it I believe things just went the way they were meant: We lost a late gen N64 that was truly pushing the hardware to its maximum capacity but won an impressive first gen GameCube game instead. A fair trade IMO.
