When Ocarina of Time 3D came out, it was this big deal, like: The Greatest Game of All Time is finally getting a remake, looooong after its release on the super duper retro old N64, 13 whole years ago! Now it's like: Didn't we JUST get a remake only 15 years ago? Time is weird and I don't like it.

After months of tinkering away on the script, I finally finished recording the voiceover for my next big 40 minute behemoth of a video. I let some family members listen to a few clips and, naturally, they laughed, said I sound fake, nobody wants to watch that, and why can’t I be like MoistCritical?

Kuru Kuru Kururin is legitimately a contender for most fun game I’ve played all year. I can’t wait to try out Kururin Paradise. If Kururin Squash! comes to NSO GameCube, I’m gonna lose it.

Three classic games are now available to play with Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Classics for #NintendoSwitchOnline + Expansion Pack members! β˜‘οΈ Monster Rancher Advance β˜‘οΈ METAL SLUG ADVANCE β˜‘οΈ Kururin Paradise

It’s Twilight Princess and it’s really rad Those creatures from Zant are pretty bad Bokoblins and Tektites and Bulblins too But with Midna’s help our hero pulls through The Nintendo GameCube. Your parents help you hook it up. Twilight Princess sold separately.

My computer was broken and my phone had a tiny monthly limit of available minutes. I did have a 3DS and PokΓ©mon Y, however, and I spent most of my β€œplaytime” talking to a long distance PokΓ©mon X player through the game’s voice chat.

On this day in 2013, 13 years ago, PokΓ©mon X & Y were first released. These games were the first 3D main series titles and had you travel through the Kalos region. and try to stop Team Flare's plans while introducing new PokΓ©mon & Mega Evolution www.serebii.net/xy/

Three days of existing in a nerd utopia. I got to meet and talk with amazing people like Grant Kirkhope, Chris Sutherland, and Kev Bayliss. Got my old N64 games signed. Met the AVGN and Justin Silverman. Went to cool panels. Took pics with awesome cosplayers. Bought SO MUCH STUFF. #retrogamecon

Toying with the idea of going to my first con next month, all by mine lonesome. Gonna feel exactly like this.

I’m playing FFIX on the Switch only to find this mod that makes everything look so much better. But I’m already 7 hours in and not doing it again, no matter how much nicer that crisp image and widescreen is compared to my pixelation and mandatory borders, so RIP me.

After trying and failing to get into Blue, Yellow, and Sapphire, PokΓ©mon Pearl was the game that finally clicked with me. To this day, I have never sunk as many hours into a game as I did with Pearl. Throughout 2007, I marathoned every prior PokΓ©mon game, and I continued to be obsessed until Gen 5.

PokΓ©mon Diamond and Pearl were first out in Japan 20 years ago on the Nintendo DS! πŸ¦ͺπŸ’Ž Taking us to the in-depth Sinnoh region (literally, I loved the underground stuff) and rejigging a few 'mons and mechanics. All made even better in Platinum. Media: www.rpgfan.com/game/pokemon...

Naturally, not long after getting into PokΓ©mon, I named my new cat after one. I didn’t take into consideration that in the far off distant future of 2026, I’d be having important conversations at the vet about my Espeon.

Imagine if the Rambi Rumble from Donkey Kong Bananza was a whole game where you could ride on different animal buddies as your favorite DK characters, and race through the jungle, underwater, etc. I wonder why they never thought of this amazing concept! What would such a game even be called anyway?

What mini game do you wish spun off to became its own game?

Getting close to finishing my replay of Super Paper Mario. Yet another game about a town full of people slowly coming to terms with the approaching end times.

Persona 3 sure does hit different in 2026, where powers beyond our control have stolen away our futures, and everyone you know is in a cult, yet all you can do is keep moving forward in spite of it all.

I agree with all of this. Reminds me of just how many screenshots I've taken of Diddy Kong Racing in high-def (with widescreen!) because of how good it looks.

There's a lot I think is correct about how you can't really easily replicate the visual tricks done with 2d pixel art on retro console games that were designed for CRTs but sorry, some stuff just totally fine or better upscaled. You're never gonna convince me this looks worse than the OG on a CRT.

Saw a thread where people genuinely don't understand how people can dislike Pokemon Gen 5. It's called subjectivity. I don't think its a worse game than the ones that came before it. But that doesn't stop its creative choices from being an affront to my personal sensibilities.

I don't like Pokemon Black & White because it's an ugly game with a dull color palette, hideous pixelated battle animations, cringey characters, music that ranges from forgettable to grating, and an awful Pokedex full of hideous designs. I really do like the ice cream and trash bag Pokemon though.
