The RETRO Gaming Thread!

[thebtcbtq]

Cloud stream gaming makes sense for next generation consoles. I'm excited for that. But, manufacturers like Sony and Microsoft always hold back on releasing the best of their in-house technology so they can milk profits from hardware sales. It's this way with gaming consoles, cell phones, computers, and tv's.

Imagine if there was a 4K resolution Sony cell phone that:
1. Came with stereo speakers and HDMI
2. Was fast enough to stream Playstation games, tv, and movies from the cloud
3. Had enough memory to be a PC
This would be the ultimate device.

I still get down on my NES and SNES Classics.

What happens when there's network maintenance or internet trouble? Can't play that always online nonsense then. Meanwhile, I'll pop in a good single player game and still enjoy my console.

Y'all were fans of the turbo grafix 16?

My cousin had it, thought it was ok.

They have those “play anywhere” games Maybe you’ll be able to play those

joe billionaire All depends if they'll have some type of storage media on this console. If it's purely streaming with no storage media then an 'offline' mode won't be happening.

I will never buy anything off wish

A Mario game on an Xbox console with a PlayStation controller. Seems legit.

Never knew anyone who owned that system. The Nes, Genesis and Snes was pretty much the best you could afford.

I can't even begin to process this right now. That's nutty. This needs to be a daytime TV mystery documentary.

MM ain't the GOAT at all, but it's highly underrated. Solid #3 or 4

What’s your top 3 then?

I’m not even sure I can choose. I just know that MM is my favorite. I’m a sucker for side quests and I love the darker/sinister storyline.

OoT, LttP, then this for now. I'll see how BOTW ages but I got em neck and neck. BOTW literally made me enjoy games again for the first time in yrs felt like a kid again

 

[kdslittlebro]

I still desperately need to play WW. Nintendo gotta get this VC figured out

In the meantime, get yourself a cheap price on a OG model Wii with Gamecube controller ports and memory card slots..........find yourself a copy of Windwaker and a Gamecube controller, and that'll hold you down until Nintendo is done "slowly" rolling out retro games through their Paid Online Service (we have no idea if NES titles will be the only Classic games coming out this year on that new Paid Service).

BOTW made me feel the same way but then the luster wore off after a couple weeks. If they make BOTW 2 and keep everything the same while adding traditional dungeons it'll be the GOAT no doubt.

I have to replay Wind Waker too. Only played through one time when it released and I was like 11 years old then. Also never played Skyward Sword.

Stopped in my local mom & pop game store and picked up a few cheap games I didn't have in the collection. $4 each is pretty good considering these things hardly show up at thrift stores.

8 Eyes


American Gladiators


Cyber Stadium Base Wars


Rocket Ranger

Anyone here planning getting an Arcade1Up cabinet?

[TURBO UNO]

Meh, it would just take up space. I'm happy with a vintage 80s crt, rolling cart and a original console. Just me though.

 

[alchemist]

Those look cool but no titles that make me want to buy. I really want to build a MAME arcade.
