Yeah, I'm just happy Prime 1 got this treatment. So I was facing off against Thadus last night and it rolled into a corner and got stuck in a corner of the room and never got out. He was an easy target but took far longer to finish since his weak spot was partially hidden. Guess I could've restarted but I was in the zone. Nyaa

the lazy, cheating, ass zone. 😅

Do we even know who developed the remastered version of prime?

According to Nintendo Life, it was done by Retro Studios and another company.

Not since the early '90s. They were owned by Atari IIRC

Tengen Ms Pacman for the Sega Genesis would be a fantastic NSO release. They updated the arcade graphics a bit and added some fun new gameplay options.

I. M GALAXY and retro apparently.

Guys check out the Gamexplain review on YouTube. Some awesome footage. And some high praise for the work done.

I never played those on NES. I had the SMS versions of both great games.

So you played the inferior versions? Nyaa I dont recall the NES having those games back in the day. I was all for Rolling Thunder, Pac Man and Tetris  instead. Did any Tengen games have the Nintendo seal of quality? I felt like a rebel playing those games.

We went camping in the mountains of Tennessee one time in a campground with an arcade. They had a Rolling Thunder arcade cabinet that was broken and allowed you to have unlimited continues. I still didn't beat it.

RBI Baseball had the seal. I think there were a couple others as well, but there weren't many compared to the unlicensed ones they had.

Horizon Forbidden West's gameplay is so similar to Rise of the Tomb Raider that the slightly different controls are driving me nuts. I'm tired of hitting the wrong button and falling off shit or failing to attack something correctly, lol.

Tengen's NES games were licensed until they found Nintendo's lockout chip patent and used that info to bypass it, which was a copyright violation.

I'm having button issues with Metroid Prime because the A and B buttons are in reversed on the pro controller from yhe Xbox controller. A should always be on the bottom.

I'm sorry, but that's simply factually incorrect.

Ugh. It's Splatfest, but my internet connection is wobbly at best. Half of the matches I'm suffering disconnects.

It's even more rage inducing than my current losing streak!

Anyone here try the Hori Split Pad Pro for Switch? I was this one at Walmart this morning; considering getting it. Might be nice for playing Tetris and Civ 6 while watching videos.

They also do a slim one thats still wider and flatter than the OG joycons.

I hear these are not wireless and there's no motion sensing.
