Yeah sure, from time to time I get bored of modern games and I dive straight into emulation or some old handheld for a couple of weeks. Just last month, taking a break from MAME, I was trying a new build of retroarch on the PC and while browsing games and platforms I got into GBA's Medal of Honor and I was happy to finally able to play it on a big screen, with nice scanlines and a controller of my choice ( my main complain back than was the difficult to aim diagonally with the GBA d-pad and the small screen ) and with a little help of the save state functionality I actually managed to finish it, tough little game ! Then I was in the mood for some Castlevania and I finished Circle of the Moon, which on the original hardware was way too dark and had tiny ( but great ) graphics as well. After that I found a hack to remove the awful bright outline from the sprites in Harmony of dissonance and I decided to give it another go, but this time I remembered that I still have a great 30" CRT TV and after (lots of) trials and errors I managed to find a reasonably stable version of retroarch for the Wii and proceeded to play Castlevania HoD like never before on a big CRT TV in 240p RGB with authentic scanlines and a Wii CC pro for the ultimate experience.
But since I was in the mood and already set up why not go for the original Metroidvania itself ? Excluding Super Metroid which I finished several times over the years, on the same setup I finished Zero mission, which led me to the discovery of numerous Super Metroid hacks and I found the excellent Hyper Metroid, which I started but I haven't got very far into it again.
Since my Wii was up and running I decided to play some last gen games and proceeded to collect a few more stars in SMG 2 , discovered one of the beautiful hidden gem Trauma Team ( which unexpectedly took me over 20 hours to finish ! ) and a few Wiiware racing games, even restarted Excitetrucks on Dolphin and let me tell you, for a Wii launch game, at 1080p@60fps and a real wii remote, plus the ability to mount a virtual SD card in dolphin where I stored and played my favorite tracks while driving trucks, I'm just amazed how good the game really is even by today standards and as far as an arcade experience, it's certainly timeless !
Then I went back to Dark Souls 3 and prepared to die again.... In the past couple of weeks I've been endlessly playing Just Cause 3, but open world games get tiresome at some point and thanks to sites like GBAtemp and the occasional retro gaming video that pops up on youtube, I constantly discover old favorites or overlooked gems of the past ( even new ZX Spectrum games ! ) and since most emulators are already set up on my devices, it's easy to dive back in every now and then.
My next priorities are now Super Mario RPG and Hyper Metroid on the CRT TV.
Sorry OP, did I get off-topic ? Looking back at this wall of text I asked myself why did I type all that. It must be the pleasure of typing on my new mechanical keyboard ( Logitech G810 ) !
