  1. I went and bought it the night it came out. I was paranoid about stock so I reserved a copy. Over the weekend I ended up beating it. At first I was collecting as many power moons as I could, but as the game went on I found myself not really going much beyond the number of moons I needed. My impression is that it's a FANTASTIC game. It fits right in with the greats. Also it's so relieving that a major AAA title lets you unlock loads of costumes, as well as an additional level, by playing rather than paying. This game is worth every penny.
  2. I can't really tell from the photo whether or not that screen is flat, but the pro-CRT stance isn't about the thickness of the screen, but how the image looks. Did the screens on SNES kiosks look more like modern TVs than old ones? I'm also not saying that you have to or should play on CRTs.
  3. As mentioned, CRTs have pretty much zero lag. I can handle gaming on a modern TV, but it's definitely a plus for CRTs. On that note, maybe I should see what used Guitar Hero and Rock Band parts I can get for older consoles? Though weight and space are real issues -- my CRT is around 36" and it weighs a ton. My dad and I had trouble carrying it from the car, while a modern 50" can be carried with one arm just fine. Also, I know it's going to eventually start breaking down, and the world's CRT supply will start going down. I almost wish somebody would start making lightweight CRT TVs to cater to the retro gaming crowd, but they would probably suck in some way and be really expensive.
  4. I think "authentic" is a nearly-useless word in this context; it makes it sound like it's the best or only way to play. I've found that I definitely prefer playing older games on a CRT, but if you like playing them on a modern TV there's nothing wrong with that. Though I will say that I don't use any of the other things you just listed lmao. I put my old carts/discs in my original console and plug them in either via composite or rca. If I ever get to the point where I'm trying to make my retro games look as HD as possible on a CRT TV, I've defeated the purpose I started with and I'll just go back to modern probably.
  5. It doesn't stretch on a CRT (any more than it does on an HDTV with bars) does it? I'm as Spock as they come but I'm warming up to the idea of celebrating "the good old days" in a few ways, this being one of them lol
  6. What do you hook your retro consoles into? I haven't had a CRT TV in my house for several years now, so I've been plugging into an HD TV for a while. But I recently bought a huge tube-type from a friend of mine for $20, and it's made a pretty big difference in my opinion. No black bars on the sides, the pixels aren't so sharp, etc. There's something so nice about living in a world where everything is "smart" and then plugging a console without an operating system into a TV without an operating system. What's your opinion? Does the kind of TV really matter to you? Do you prefer HD TVs for retro games?

  8. I think it's basically a guarantee that it's a proprietary engine. The most unusual engine I've ever heard of them using was their HTML5 engine for Mario vs DK: Tipping Stars.
