Modded yourself or bought that way? I've been considering doing one or the other myself, but at this point in the Switch's life, I might hold off for the next generation Nintendo

Bought. It's this guy: https://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&lo...

Oh I remember those!

I want it for docked play. I have sealed split pad pros that I never used. I don't play handheld much

Since interest in 20 Questions died, I'll just reveal next month's game...

Metroid Prime.


Although sadly I think I will be out this month as well, as I can't fudgein find a copy at retail!

I would have asked more questions. I was just waiting for someone to ask the next one, since I had asked the previous one.

Metroid Prime? Hmmmm.

Are both and good? Maybe you can play the version.

Prime is easily my favorite title and I haven't played it since originally playing back then. I don't have a but I think I could play it on my since I've homebrewed it and if that's the case, playing on a big 4k screen could be awesome... But using the WiiU controller could stink. I really need to get a pro controller, or consider just playing on my with the Wavebird.
I have wanted to replay it and then finally get into 2 and 3 which I own but never touched.

Yup, GC or Switch is fine!

I'm honestly only willing to play on Switch at this point. The graphics aren't the issue at all, but the quality of life improvements done to the controls... That's my main draw for picking it up on Switch.

I think a lot of the QoL improvements to the controls are available through emulators.

Looks like @EB @Renaissance2K and @Slickriven are the only three to complete Cuphead. Since EB is the one giving away the gift card, it comes down to two...

Congratulations to all three of you for completing this challenging game... and @Renaissance2K for winning the prize!

Awesome! @Renaissance2K I’ll PM you to get you your prize!

I totally forgot that there was a giveaway last month! I 100% beat it b/c it was a challenge I wanted to overcome and that was worth it.

Hey, everyone. Thanks to @EB for donating a prize last month.

Since paying it forward is cool, I'm going to do the same for Metroid Prime. Frank will draw the name of someone who gets the Metroid Prime badge this month, and whoever wins will get a $10 digital game store card of their choosing.

Good luck!

You gotta love GTZ. People being generous are part of what makes this a great place. Willing to give, whether it's time, an item, a joke, a recipe, etc. Not just all focused on one's self.

Mir_wan hooked me up with a copy, and I started it this evening. So far I'm at the Chozo Ruins. Enjoying it so far!

Just defeated the

boss, and aquired the

.

I'm not going to lie, I had to look up a guide. I totally missed picking up the

and had to figure out where to go to get it.

The game is difficult (first playthrough and I'm playing the normal/default difficulty) but I'm really enjoying it. When I get stuck, I take a break and come back to it later.

Got mine in today. Just acquired the morph ball.

I was confused a second because I couldn't find your name

Congrats on being the first to complete and welcome to the club!

Also totally forgot to grant @EB his contributor badge for last month. Also giving @Renaissance2K his for this month as well, so I don't forget.

Thanks for giving back to the community!image

Thanks

Woah, I'm finally playing the game of the month! Thinnking I'm at least half a day done or so. Got the varia suit and just made it to the Phazon Mines.

Finally started this tonight and played the first intro mission... Dear God those Wii controls are rubbish. I'm no big fan of the GC controller especially with the goofy overly long travel of the triggers but man I didn't like the setup so far. I loved Prime on the GC but while I've owned both 2&3 for a long time I really never touched them and am thinking I want to play them all in close succession... So I think I'll have to try to stick with the controls since 3 only supports them, vs trying to play this on either the GC or Wii with that controller, vs where I tried tonight on the WiiU.
For some strange reason with 2 basically independent controllers in my hands like the wiimote and nunchuck I don't link them together great for shooters like this in my head... It just feels very odd. Anyone else playing with the Wii control scheme?

Just got 100% items, ready to go to the end. Yet, I came in at 87% scans?! Damnit! I don't even remember what you get for this... But kinda bummed. I'd assume some were missables on bosses.

Done, 100% items, 90% scan

I just got to the Phazon Mines. I missed a wasp enemy during one of the boss fights, so I won't be getting 100% either.

I missed one scan (wasp enemy during incinerator drone boss fight), so didn't bother looking for the missile expansions I missed. I started over on hard and was pleased to see that you don't have to scan everything all over again. Good to know for when I decide to fully replay it.

Alright, everyone who completed Prime should have the badge. I finally finished it this afternoon myself...

I didn't do as well as you guys, but this was my first time ever playing it and I feel accomplished. Prime has been a game on the backlog for so many years! I guess being bed ridden for a week has had it's benefits

RE4April

I just picked up the remaster, had a little birthday money. I was 10 when the original came out and played it not all that long after, so I was probably too young to appreciate it fully because holy crap what little I've played so far absolutely fudges.

RE4 came out when we were in 4th year clinicals vet school. I remember talking about it as the world went to hell around us. The surgeon was like “yeah that is badass” as the EKG flatlined. ( slightly dramatized)

Thanks to my recent acquisition of a PlayStation Classic (and a little tampering ), I am now playing MediEvil. This game is quite fun so far!

I'm too broke to pick up the remaster right now, but since I've been sick I neglected to pick a game for next month, so it COULD be RE4.

I would definitely be up for RE4 next month.

I just beat Metroid Prime Remastered 2 days ago with 100% scan logs and 100% items... great game! Fingers crossed they remaster Prime 2 and Prime 3!

16 hours? Wow, you really explored.

EDIT - I don't think I have the badge. Do I need to do anything to get it?

Nah, I kept getting lost and stubbornly getting further lost until finally looking up a guide for assistance.

You have the badge. If you click on the Members spoiler tag, you're down the line alphabetically. I added you in on the 11th when you posted your screenshot

It's been a while! I was part of it back in 2019 when I beat Super Mario RPG haha.

Speaking of Metroid ... F4F is offering $50 off their Ridley statue. JESUS CHRIST is it huge ... but wow do I want it!

I'll have to double check. At some point I must have somehow removed you from the list.

No worries - don't waste time looking, it's all good

I will send in my completion photos as time permits!
