For Trade: Super Mario World for a better looking copy
DaytonaUSA replied to copper20's topic in Buy, Sell, and Trade
Looking to trade this Porche in rough shape for one in mint condition. Willing to throw in a free tank of gas, along with a copy of Golf for the NES in like-new shape! PM me if you're interested. -
I want to buy a US region Dreamcast. Needs to work perfectly, cords are preferable. I don't need a controller, but I guess that would be a nice added bonus. Thanks guys.

People are so rude sometimes. Maybe they're all from Ohio...

Exactly, and it's what I discussed in the video. Joystiq didn't really go for click bait, unlike the others out there. I think that was their downfall. They were the last place I could go to and just get straight up, unbiased news. Thanks to those who subbed. I really don't understand what was wrong with my video, as I just rewatched it, and I literally said everything that was written in the original article by the 1:00 mark, which is about as fast as it would have been to read it.... The rest were simply my thoughts, and frankly, a bit of emotion. The people at Joystiq are really good people, and I've worked with a couple in the past (of the group that are no longer writing for them). The video was more about the dangers of where our gaming news industry is headed, and what kind of companies we ARE supporting vs which ones they SHOULD. It's a real shame the place had to go away. I can think of a dozen more than should have in its place....

Wow, never heard of this one. Good luck with the sale, looks like a fairly fun game.

That guy is me, and I'm not yapping off. But thanks for the input! I'll be sure to not talk on my channel. Maybe the next video will be "Darryl Staring at You....." If you want an article, obviously Joystiq.com will have it, as they've been talking about their closure all day.

It's a website...called joystiq.com I'm really sad that it's closing its doors. It was one of the last honest professional review sites out there.

Modern, innovative games: "Put up or shut up"
DaytonaUSA replied to Rhomaios's topic in Modern Console Discussion
Great response Keatah. Yeah, I think things were ok post NES/SNES era. My examples would be many PS1, 3DO, Saturn, and N64 games, for instance. Even EA joined the quality fray. Games like Need for Speed I and II, WaveRave 64, Starfox 64, Rival Schools, Wipeout, F-Zero X, etc.... those games feel just as classic to me as 2d early 90s and late 80s games. It started with the PS2, GC and Xbox generation that I started noticing things were going to crap. GC's exclusives didn't hold a candle to N64 ones. WaveRace Blue Storm vs WR64, GC loses. Starfox 64 vs Starfox Assualt, GC loses. I know the PS2 has tons of games for it, but again, it started to feel extremely generic. FPS titles started to get popular as did online with the Xbox. It all just fell apart after that for me. -

I've tried getting into Y's so many times. Always makes me want to fall asleep. Not my cup of tea. -
The disk drive issue was pretty common. And yeah, figured a few people would have owned a Katana here. This is when Assembler Games being down for the count really hurts.

Modern, innovative games: "Put up or shut up"
DaytonaUSA replied to Rhomaios's topic in Modern Console Discussion
I totally agree. I'm not saying there wasn't a wave of shovelware for old systems. But the non-shovelware, the meat and potatoes.. just felt so much more creative and significant. Seriously, in 20 years, will ANY copy of Call of Duty be worth more than a penny? Generic, online will be cut off, hand holding, extremely common.... this is what we have to look forward to in the future. Collecting worthless coasters that weren't that fun to play even when they were fully working. -
Modern, innovative games: "Put up or shut up"
DaytonaUSA replied to Rhomaios's topic in Modern Console Discussion
The DK game? Have you gotten past the part where you go back and forth? I rest my case. Aggravation isn't innovation, and that's all that game was for me. But I digress. There's not much innovation anymore. It's why I've been focusing on older stuff. I'll be honest, if it wasn't for games like SW BF III coming, and the fact I use my XB1 to talk to my best friend in Canada, I wouldn't have much use for a modern console. I find modern games to be horribly dry and devoid of fun, and the reason this is a reality is because everything has to be a franchise. Everything has to be safe. Everything has to be beatable. Everything has to be generic. When was the last time you saw a character as cooky as Dig Dug, or a game as out there as Rez? Frankly, I think indie scenes are where all creativity is at now a days, but the problem there is two fold. 1. The assumption that anything with 8 or 16 bit graphics is awesome... because 99% of indie games are rendered this way, and it's f***ing annoying. 2. Many indie games simply aren't made by talented/experienced enough people to create something that feels polished. The problem is that the people who ARE making polished games, are working for companies like EA who are literally sucking out the soul of what games used to be. We have no games like Clayfighter (graphically speaking, not gameplay), we have no racing games with music like F-Zero where the music was original, catchy, and wasn't licensed, and we have no color (apparently everything has to be rendered in the same engine to look as boring as humanly possible). Call me jaded, and maybe I am, but most of modern gaming can suck it. I've been gaming since the NES, and it's gotten worse and worse since the DC era, and frankly, I don't see that turning around unless there's another crash. -
Figured out a way to fix it. Surprised no one here could help...

I review the Game Boy Light!

Looking for a loose copy of choplifter III for the game boy. Condition isn't terribly important, need it for a non-extravagant price. Thanks.

OMG, have you guys seen this? Retron 5
DaytonaUSA replied to 82-T/A's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Wow, this is getting a bit out of hand. Just because the system is for you, doesn't mean it is a product for most people. If you want to emulate (ie: not run on original hardware), you can use devices that have better compatibility than this device, are cheaper (or you already have one, like a PC), don't have the clutter and cost of buying used games, and have all the controllers you just mentioned via the power of USB. In the case of modded Xboxes, you have plenty of options for classic gaming controllers as well (I won't get into that unless you want me to...). If you want original carts on original hardware, this isn't really the device for you either, and there is really only one choice. You have to want the flaws of running roms on iffy hardware with tons of bugs, while using real carts and controllers. Seems like a weird half-way that feels more of a compromise than it out to be. Not counting the power base converter, as this doesn't come with it, if you go out and buy a Gameboy Advance SP, an NES, a SNES, and a cheap Genesis, it'll cost pretty much the same amount as this, and they come with their original controllers. I personally am not trying to "call it junk or trash", but there is PLENTY to be critical of here. The controller it comes with complete junk, you have to buy (or own) controllers for the systems you don't own (if you're buying something like this you wouldn't own the real systems, after all...), you're emulating on iffy hardware to TONS of issues while having to deal with the collectable used game market which isn't cheap, and the system itself is very pricey. I'm glad it fits people's wants and desires, like you, but this is NOT a system for most classic gamers. MOST will find either original hardware or pure emulation to be the best for their need, as each side has less compromises, depending on your tastes. The only positive, frankly, I can come up with is the high def output. But then both emulation and simple RGB mods take care of that. Once again making this feel like a compromise of each side instead of the positives of each side.
