The RE4 remake is pretty darn awesome. It's practically like RE4.5 since there is so much new stuff.

So... Shantae games...

I've flirted with the idea of getting one over the years but the price has never come down to hobo impulse buy territory.

Which ones have you tried? Would you recommend them?

There's a gameboy colour looking one i won't get. I'm looking at the gba looking one but the game has no map.

I want the HD ones but the price never drops.

I only have Shantae Half Genie Hero on Wii U. It's a high quality and fun game. It plays a bit like Wonderboy and Metroid.  I want to play more of it, but I can't go back to the U-pad anymore. I need to double dip and get it on Switch too.

That's one I wanted.

I own all the Mighty Switch force games. I find Wayforward and Shinen never really bring their game prices down enough.

And Nintendo, standard 33% discount.

I've played 2 or 3 of the Shante games and I have enjoyed them. But that said, they are completely unmemorable. I couldn't even tell you which ones I've played. They're good, but they're not good enough to play through a second time. So, I'd keep trying to hold off on a deeper sale.

After reading a wiki I realised the only Metal slug games I played was the OG and Metal Slug X.

Metal Slug 2 is doing some incredibly crowd pleasing stuff.

There's a level where you enter a Tomb and fight mummies. You've got round bellied enemies that rip apart and explode. You go into a sewer and Resident Evil style monsters drop from the ceiling.

There's this gatling gun mini boss who falls into the water and a giant Orca rises up and eats him.

There's an epic Hong Kong and New York level. The games art is amazing, I can't even think of a modern pixel art game on the same level. Your character literally flings away weapons when you run out of ammo.

I can see myself buying all of these games.

It's such a shame that the slowdown tars the experience.

Wayforward never reduce their games beyond a certain level, I'm been watching for years.

I have the Metal Slug collection for Wii. I believe it had every game in the series. It's a cool collection with one flaw: No Wii Pro controller support.

Yeah it's fantastic.

A new Sony portable... if it just plays PS5 games I don't really care to use it. Steam deck offers way more value. Also by the time that thing comes out a ps6 is about to hit.

You can use the classic controller?

I didn't even know that collection existed.

You can only play it with the Wii Remote sideways or Wii Remote+Nunchuk.

Weird.

I guess it works, it's a three button game.

I beat MS2, you join your enemies to fight aliens at the end lol

Got my first OLED TV, 55 inches.

Wanted the LG G4 as it has Dolby Vision. There's a Sony thats better for movies but it's over £2000 and it's gaming performance is bad.

Instead got the Samsung s90d, almost as good as the flagship model or the LG G4 but a good £500 less.

Nothing yet but there’s some games currently on sale on the PlayStation store that I’m currently considering.

All of the Black Friday deals I've gotten so far are gifts for other people.
