I literally just opened the button set the other day. My lady needed some buttons and that’s an item that has stayed at its value. But dang those buttons are a pain. Luke the back is made for storage but I feel like I’m going to stab myself trying to ion it

Had an order of import games come in today. Among other things, it included 5 Mahjong games on Nintendo systems (4 on DS, 1 on Switch). Looking forward to trying them out.

Also finally got a Koopa Troopa amiibo, which I have been looking for a good price on for a couple of years. It was also part of that order.

If that turns out to be real, I won't be disappointed. Looks pretty nice. Not too wild and not too plain.

Just started this yesterday thanks to Feeb. It's fantastic!

Is one of those Yakuman DS by chance?

Not this time, although I've previously bought 3 or 4 copies of it and given the extras to friends who already know how to play

That's a game I need to try to track down cheaply for the collection. Probably the only Mahjong game I actually want... Although I do for some reason own Mahjong Staxx on PC... You wouldn't want it would you?

Frank wrote:

I'll try to pick up another extra copy next time I order. I tried (because you never know who is going to want a copy LOL), but they were out of stock last time.

One of the ones I picked up was Konami's Mahjong Fight Club, which features 48 real life JPML players as opponents, and is pretty highly regarded.

I have a subcollection of "secret" Mario games. Surprisingly decent amount of them.

Frank wrote:

I actually picked it up initially because I wanted a Mahjong game beyond the free mobile games, and it was both fully featured and family friendly. (Well, the game itself is family friendly. No guarantee the things you shout at Toadsworth as he scores a high point hand will be as family friendly).

There was one part of the mission mode that I had trouble with - It's one of last missions so you are playing against some of the higher level AI, and you have to bankrupt a specific opponent. Anyone who has played Mahjong knows it can be tough enough to even win a game, but targeting a specific player is much more difficult. That mission was even harder than the final one.

At this point, I don't even need a GBA emulator on the Nintendo Online service, I just need them to release The Minish Cap for the friggin thing.

Minish Cap was fantastic. A really great 2D Zelda game. Ezlo :)

I think I teared up a bit at the ending.

So I tried out Mahjong Fight Club today. It's good but definitely not as beginner friendly as Yakuman DS.

Though I suppose that's to be expected with the JPML license attached.

Nyxi Wizard GameCube style controller for the Nintendo Switch.

I don't know if it's available for sale yet, couldn't find it on their site.

Looks pretty cool. And the GameCube controllers are very comfortable. I think I'd be interested in this, especially if it's light.

I just unlocked Gradius Music and SFX during play! And for that extra classy touch it switches to the boss music when someone calls riichi.

it's also $5 on the eShop right now.

Wow. If you haven't played this, it's definitely worth a shot at that price. The game runs so smoothly, it's great. And even at times where the platforming was especially challenging, requiring very on target precision, the game still ran smoothly.

Fire Emblem Engage came out today. I thought it had already released. Reviews are generally good, and it sounds like they ditched the 3 Houses stuff and went back to the basics. I'll probably give it a look when it goes on sale. Three Houses kinda burned me out on the series, and maybe someday Advanced Wars will get a release.

My Divine Edition just came in, and of course GameStop didn't send the exclusive tarot cards. Not a big deal. I've played a couple of chapters. I like the fact that it's more combat focused, and the Engage system seems fun.

They don’t send them in the mail. It’s in store only, if you ordered online you can take your receipt to the store and get yours apparently but it’s while supplies last

Yeah, I see that they changed the description. It originally said that the cards would ship with online orders. I'm good, I would just put them in storage with other pre-order bonus junk I have. I'm up to Chapter 6 now. It's 26 chapters overall and 15 paralogues if anyone is wondering.

Has anyone played Fire Emblem Engage? I read they removed the stupid ass soical aspects/Persona crap of 3 Houses. Might be interested in it if true.

Yeah, it's more focused on combat. The Somniel (hub area) has a bunch of really pointless mini games and stuff, but it's all optional. You don't have to go there between battles if you don't want to. You can even access shops from the world map. The Arena is the most useful thing, since it's free experience. You can do it for any character 3 times after every battle.

I didn't hear anything about Fire Emblem Engage, not even the title, until very recently. Didn't know it was being developed.

Uno is the free game trial going on now through the 29th for + members.

Goldeneye comes to NSO on Friday. I barely even played this game back in the day.

I had a feeling GoldenEye was going to be the next game added. They hadn't added a N64 game in 3 months so I figured they were saving the next game for something big.

The amount of time it’s taking them to fill out the NSO apps is unreal. They’re legit just sitting on the games.

Wouldn’t say that. There’s probably a bit of work in bringing multiplayer online for games like Goldeneye. Looking forward to this.

I'm not necessarily talking about Goldeneye, that one gets a pass because they're apparently revamping the controls and everything, but there's a literal no excuse for NES, SNES or Genesis.

theJaw wrote:


They aren't revamping the controls on Switch... that's supposedly only for Xbox. NES and SNES are basically done first party minus some less popular titles and ones they don't own all the rights to. So everything else will cost them $.

Still excited for 007 on Switch. Unfortunately I have a feeling it will play like crap on a standard controller, and I don't really want to buy an N64 online controller for one game when they are still being scalped (I never pay a premium thus don't buy scalped crap). Will see on Friday I guess.

On a side note, I have no plans on getting an Xbox, but I really hate they omitted online play for them. That really sucks the "best" version is local only.

Did they proximity mine a no smoking sign??? Did I see that right?

@KCPenguins Oh what the frig? I thought the controls were getting a Switch makeover. Well that significantly dampens my hype for its release. Phooey.

And I also didn't realize how close they were to being done with first party SNES/NES games... or how lacking that library is at the end of the day. They should 100% shell out for some other games. Get some NHL on there damnit!

I didn't see nearly as much slowdown in MP in that video. Will wait and see. Debating letting my oldest two try this... they've played Minecraft. lol

(Goldeneye 007)

Also, social media is going to rip this (these) game(s) to shreds. They have been for years, pretty much since Halo from a console perspective. Earlier on PC.

Welp what else is new tbh

Just stating the obvious.
