3DS eShop games to get before closure March 27th
roots.genoa replied to Ninjabba's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
I'm not sure if it's the first or the second, but one of the Phoenix Wright games on the 3DS has a terrific DLC that you don't want to miss, since you probably won't be able to buy it after the eShop closure. It's a full new case for around $5. -
3DS eShop games to get before closure March 27th
roots.genoa replied to Ninjabba's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
It was a 3DS game originally, though, and it was heartbreaking to do the parts about stereoscopic pictures that didn't work at all on the Switch. 😔 -
Intellivision Amico’s trademark changed to ‘abandoned’
roots.genoa replied to rietveld's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
They were not stolen, they were borrowed™️. Tommy is a good friend of Shigeru Miyamoto and he personally authorized the legendary sound designer of Metroid Prime to use Star Fox's story for Moon Patrol. -
Intellivision Amico Release - What are the chances?
roots.genoa replied to Creamhoven's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
I know Tommy loves funny/symbolic dates but they should stop with this obsession to release a console on December 31st! 😉 -
Intellivision Amico’s trademark changed to ‘abandoned’
roots.genoa replied to rietveld's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
Yes, but at the beginning a guy talks about what he does for a living, and I'm very surprised Tommy didn't name drop people or mentioned his prowess his mother is very proud of. -

I didn't watch the whole video but Tommy doesn't seem to speak at all. That's incredible!! 🤯 -
Are the 'Road Rage' games made for humans?

I just hope you're well aware it's strictly forbidden to create another account on this forum, just in case. 😅 -

roots.genoa replied to rietveld's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
Yes, we know. He has been seen on pictures, he's mentioned in tournament brackets, etc. I'm not sure you would do a good job, but it would probably be hilarious to witness. 🙂 You don't have to buy every game available, you know? 🙄 Nice try to please Beefy! 😉 -
'Gaming Racism' (An essay inspired by Tommy Tallarico)
roots.genoa replied to Creamhoven's topic in Gaming General Discussion
And how would that be a great thing. The OG EWJ has always been an overrated game imho and there's nothing positive about its creator, actually. 🙂 -

I was kidding; your English is way better (I have no idea who Tanooki was referring to anyway). "Conspitorial" is not a word, though. 🙂 -
Atari signs with Talent Agency to Develop TV & Film Content

DLC as in downloadable content? 🤔 -

The way it happened was interesting. Tommy was clearly not very comfortable with the crowdfunding since he didn't announce it publicly, which was probably a first. Obviously Beefy knew he was 'exposing' IE by giving the link in the Q&A thread but he made it in a very innocuous way, saying it was a good way to invest on Amico, so it was impossible to be 100% certain sure he had bad intentions. He could have been just trying to inform people. 😉 So the fact that Beefy was banned because of that shows that you didn't need to break a forum rule to be banned. He was just suspected to be potentially ill-intentioned. 🤦♂️ -
It bothered me at first too but actually the thing is to lower the volume in the settings, not with the volume buttons. The latter should only be used for temporary setting, which is interesting when you think about it.

I'm not sure Steve Wozniak ever was an Atari employee, but whatever. Except if you take into account the fact he was doing Steve Jobs' job (who wasn't qualified at all to work at Atari).

Ethics: Letting your girlfriend win
roots.genoa replied to Creamhoven's topic in Gaming General Discussion
That's why I love coop and hate competition in video games. My older brother used to be sore loser (not anymore, far from it actually) and even though he fortunately won most of the time, it wasn't fun at all to play with him. One of my best friend is also (and still is) a very sore loser, so I (discretely) let him win several times by making mistakes willingly, but the problem is he can't help bragging about his win afterwards, so it ends up pissing me off. 😔 -
But it doesn't seem to fix the problem for good, though. 😒

Yeah, he sounds familiar, I agree. But Beethoven's first name was not Johannes, though. 🤔 -
The Official Nintendo Gamecube Thread
roots.genoa replied to Tanooki's topic in Classic Console Discussion
Thanks, I was thinking about it too. The multiplayer was fantastic with tons of vehicles and every arena outside, contrary to Halo's. -

I heard Amico AC adapter is perfect for powering most footbaths. -

roots.genoa replied to rietveld's topic in Modern Gaming Discussion
When a friend of mine got the Genesis for Christmas (or his birthday, I don't remember), his mother let him have the controller to ease the wait. So it makes me wonder if IE could have at least shipped the AC adapters for the shills to have something to play with. Maybe they can already use them with systems requiring similar power! 💡🎊 -
I don't know if it's related but I bought a UHD drive and I find it very noisy, so maybe they're all loud compared to regular Blu-ray drives.

I wouldn't have used the word "crap" but that was what I was going to answer, though. For legal reasons, it's quite certain they will go for the same publishers (Team17, Gremlin, and Bitmap Brothers, irrc), exactly like the C64 cart had games from Hewson and Epyx mostly.

Female protagonist games
roots.genoa replied to electricmastro's topic in Classic Console Discussion
It would be interesting to see if there's a cultural phenomenon in Japan that would explains it. For instance, I noticed that a lot of video games using Greek Mythology were released in 1986 and in the following years (Athena, Kid Icarus, Rygar, Legendary Wings, Knightmare, etc.) and Saint Seiya started at the very beginning of that year.
