Topic: Recent Retro/Misc Gaming Purchases? (Not PS4/PS5)

@crimsontadpoles Realistically, the Splatfests were cool, but the game is jam-packed with content otherwise (assuming you engage with the online content, that is). I'd highly recommend grabbing the Octo Expansion DLC at some point. It provides a secondary single-player campaign that is, imo, a lot more challenging and fun than the base game's campaign.

Well, with Numbers vember being a quiet month for pick ups, December is wild.

Pokemon Shield for streaming
Bubble Bobble 4 Friends Special Edition
Shovel Knight amiibo Three-Pack

Devil May Cry 5
Final Fantasy 15 Royal Edition
Wipeout: Omega Collection

Purple and Orange Joy-Con (SPYRO!)

Also got my sister Spyro and Minecraft for her Switch Lite, since she asked and it's Xmas.

And for retro stuff...well...

After finishing the Battle Network series I've moved on to Castlevania.

So this month I have Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow coming, to sit alongside Aria, Mega Man 4 (Game Boy), Bubsy 3D (Don't ask), and Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

I ordered Luigi's Mansion 3, and I should get it sometime this week.

Never played any in the series before, but I always hear good things.

@RogerRoger i still have my copy of that game, i still play it from time to time as well

but Jedi Power Battles was a much better game

@RogerRoger i have the Dreamcast version actually, great little system

@RogerRoger oh i have Demolition on the Dreamcast too

the Dreamcast also had the best version of the original Resident Evil 2

@RogerRoger the Dreamcast was and still is an awesome little system but it just came out at the wrong time, it pioneered many things that consoles use today such as online gaming and DLC

it was a hell of a system for SEGA to go out on

@RogerRoger yeah it was the VMU and it was awesome especially on Resi 2, it showed you your health and ammo without having to keep going into the menus all the time

@RogerRoger yep, it was a great little system

@RogerRoger @FullbringIchigo The Dreamcast is still one of my favorite systems. To me the Dreamcast marks the beginning of modern gaming. Games looked like actual games that you played in the Arcade or in the back of your local pizzeria. It had online connection. It just felt so more advanced then any other system at it's time.

I still have two of them and break them out every so often for a game of NFL 2K, Fur Fighters and a few others.

@Tasuki i still have it hooked up to my old tube TV and still play it regularly

@FullbringIchigo 👍👍👍

@KratosMD Noice. Xillia is one of my favourites! There's a greater focus on story and the battles are quite fast-paced and fun.

@RogerRoger Another one of my favorites was Metropolis Street Racer. My friend and I use to play that one all the time at his place.

Sega was trying a lot of cool stuff out in the 90s. Like the Nomad, which was one of the first hybrid video game systems. It was sort of like a Switch, but for Genesis games.

In the 90s.

The VMU was another cool idea. It's very cute, and, when playing Sonic Adventure, it was cool that I could take out the memory card and play a little minigame on it, and then get benefits once I connected it back to the Chao Gardens in the full console game (if I'm remembering correctly).

DC was never one of my favorite consoles, but I do miss Sega's ingenuity and weirdness from back then. I guess, at least, Nintendo post-Wii inherited some of that creativity when it comes to hardware ideas.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Torna, the Golden Country.

I'd put it off for a long time because while I loved the main game, it was pretty complex from a combat/systems perspective, but I think it's time I finally tackled it. I got through the main game, so I should be able to get through this as well (I think they streamlined the combat in this one a bit as well, which should help).

Oh, and it's not a game, but I bought a new game card carrying case as well.

• Blade Strangers
• SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

Both on Switch. I've been interested in both for awhile, though not games I'd normally really get around to in my normal buying cycle. However I got a $50 Amazon gift card for Christmas, which was enough to get new copies of both.

@RogerRoger check it out

awsome game

@FullbringIchigo oooooh!

@RogerRoger - jealous much?

Acquired Dino Crisis, C-12: Final Resistance, and Oddworld: Abes Oddysee on PS1. I also got Eternal Ring, Genji, Vexx, and Armored Core 2 on PS2.
