    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    I finished the FF7 Remake again! I bought the PC version late last year and slowly went back through it until I beat the main campaign last night. It honestly runs a lot better than people complained about, and frankly it stopped my from having to buy a PS5 lol Gonna try the Yuffie chapter in...

    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    I beat Mega Man 2 for the first time since I was a kid! I forgot how fussy the last few levels are (the goddamn Crash Bomb boss sucks) but it was good times and I was glad I played it.

    My band has a song about my fiancee beating me in fighting games

    Just saw this forum, and even though it's not the sort of art folks usually post here, I thought maybe y'all might like this song my band came out with last year. I'm in a band called Bathroom of the Future, we've been described as various forms of pop punk, nerdcore (in more the Weezer or Nerf...

    XEMU emulator not loading games?

    Hey pals! Not sure if this is the right forum for this so apologies in advance, but I thought GBAtemp might be a place that could help. I recently tried messing around with the Xemu emulator after hearing that Xbox emulation has gotten way better, but I can't quite get it to run games. I THINK...

    Misc Tips for gyro aiming?

    As disappointing as that is, I guess it's sorta nice to know that I can't really do anything about it. I was SO sure that I just needed to find the right way to hold it, or have the Switch dock in a different spot on my entertainment center or something, but if it's just...made like that, then I...

    Misc Tips for gyro aiming?

    So, as someone who has had their Switch since launch day I feel like I should know this, but honestly outside of Splatoon 2 I've never really used gyro aiming for anything. My fiancee and I have been playing a lot of House of the Dead Remake, and while it's...fun enough, I feel like the gyro...

    What version of the first Final Fantasy should I play?

    So I admit I have a pretty basic understanding of FF as a whole - the only ones I've played to completion are 6-9 (nice) and even then I haven't really revisited them since they were 'new', although I did love 8-Bit Theater in high school and could at least appreciate the fact they were based on...

    Your used game/rental game existing save stories.

    As a kid, I tried to start my own save file on a Blockbuster rental copy of Super Metroid until I got lost (like I always do in Metroid games), and then switched over to the other save file (right before Mother Brain) just to see the ending. I regret nothing.

    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    If you're into character-action stuff at all, I think you're gonna have a great time! The jobs and stuff are all super fun and the combat is interesting - it's a little slower and more deliberate than something like DMC/Bayonetta, but you still have a lot more agility and flexibility than you...

    What did you Accomplish in Gaming Today?

    Today, nothing, but last night I finished Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin and loved it. The combat was a ton of fun (and reminded me the tiniest bit of Ninja Gaiden in some ways), the plot and dialogue were absurd, and the overall creature/world design was awesome. I'm gonna go play...

    What version of the first Final Fantasy should I play?

    So I just beat Final Fantasy Origin for Xbox and I loved it - anyone who's a fan of Tecmo's other action games (or character action games in general) should totally check it out. Parts of the story did make me realize, however, that I've never actually played the first Final Fantasy, and I know...

    Loud Switch Fan...But Only Sometimes

    okay, yeah, good point - so it's MOSTLY been happening while I've been playing No More Heroes III and Brilliant Diamond lately, although I remember it happening a ton earlier this year when I was working through Persona 5 Strikers. I play in handheld mode like 99% of the time so it's whatever...

    Loud Switch Fan...But Only Sometimes

    Okay, SO: loud Switch fans. I know this isn't a new, or particularly undocumented, problem, but I've been seeing so much conflicting info about it I figured I'd just ask myself and see how it went. For the last few years, my Switch has made a loud fan noise - not exactly anything 'grindy'...

    Gaming Upcoming Switch Games You're Looking Forward To

    Kinda the entire gosh dang Direct, but Dread, SMTV, and WarioWare are all going to be big for me. (Also pretty stoked about the port of DBZ Kakarot, since I bought it but...never actually started it, and I'd rather play it handheld anyway!)

    Gaming POLL: What features should be added to NS online

    I'm aware of how low the chances of it happening are, but I absolutely LOVE Xbox Game Pass and I'd love to see a similar program come to the Switch. Heck, I'd settle for actually being able to access some Game Pass games on the Switch - imagine being able to pick up in Yakuza 0 where I left off...

    Gaming Wii Classical pro controller vs Hori battle pad ?

    Okay, so I had no idea they made a Samus one, and now I need to track this down because it reminds me of my old Spice Orange GC controller.

    Gaming Upcoming Switch Games You're Looking Forward To

    No More Heroes 3 is a big one for me, as I've been a frequent Travis Touchdown cosplayer, and the first two were among my favorite games of that generation, whether for the Wii or any other platform. Neo World Ends With You comes to mind too, because I friggin loved the first one and never...

    GCN POLL: Is the Gamecube the greatest Nintendo system of all time

    And I would honestly say that most of those were better off for it! Like I would MUCH rather play the Metroid Prime games with a Wii controller than the usual Gamecube layout, but maybe I'm just a weirdo :lol:

    GCN POLL: Is the Gamecube the greatest Nintendo system of all time

    As someone who foolishly tried playing the Switch port of Galaxy in handheld mode late last year, I suppose I'm with you there to a point, but it's not all bad! Galaxy was still a ton of fun...with the right controls, and stuff like No More Heroes worked really well by not having you rely on it...

    GCN POLL: Is the Gamecube the greatest Nintendo system of all time

    I have never had the energy to dislike anything the way you dislike the Wii. I would ask "who hurt you", but clearly the answer is "everyone involved with the design and production of the Wii at every step of the way".
