It’s first on every list to me. Also - huge nod to the Steven Crewniverse for how often they insert Nintendo knockoffs into episodes. I’ve regularly seen N64s and GameCubes in Steven’s house.

I’m happy this got ported. I even ordered the import special edition for a few extras that don’t come with it in the U.S. At some point though I’d love to see the Wii U stop being the redheaded stepchild everyone bashes. Maybe it had a bad name, bad marketing, bad timing, but everything that people praise the Switch…

At least one game I bought on Christmas Eve was more than 50% off. It was either Lichtspeer, Golf Story or Oxenfree.

It happens to @JonJones on Twitter every time the UFC fighter Jon “Bones” Jones opens his mouth.

Please. I want that and Chloe Kim Snowboarding.

If this goes 75% off on Nintendo’s eShop I’ll plunk down, but the issues you describe make it too steep to pay full price. I love the premise though. It’s the Memento of RPG.

Excellent timing Jason. I just saw a Jim Sterling video about “games as service” where he argues that the $60 price point for AAA games is rubbish since publishers have already admitted they make all their money on “service” any more anyway.

I once made the mistake of asking for “the most Chicago drink” at a bar my friend Keith worked at in Chicago. He gave me a beer, a house made port wine, and a shot of Jeppson’s Malort. I’ll say this about Jeppson’s Malort... it’s unforgettable. Now I know what turpentine tastes like.

Ah! I had completely forgotten that it was a fan translation and not a homebrew game. I apologize for my error! :)

People seem to forget Beggar Prince when Genesis homebrew games are brought up. I snagged that one years and years ago.

Fun platformer games
confound your expectations.
Embrace the weirdness.

I’ve been using it the very way the title of this article subscribers. I alternate between that and The End Is Nigh, or sometimes just Satie’s Gymnopedie No. 1 on a loop (used in the hidden areas of TEIN).

Sweeeeeeeet.

It’s their own lack of standards that have doomed them over and over again. They establish a rule to make setting high scores fair by making every person who submits one adhere to the same standards, but when a golden boy like Billy submits one WITHOUT adhering to those standards, they accept it anyway.

We don’t deserve the Rippon family. They are too cool for this country and our current government.

Jesus. A Taco Bell with beer on tap. You don’t even have to wait to go on a run for the border any more. (Yes that’s what we called it in college when you found the one sober person in the group to take you all for tacos.)

He was already suspect in “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” when they announced that records had to be set live, under the view of the public and referees (which Billy himself said in the movie was the ONLY legitimate way to prove a high score) and then sent in video tapes to take his high scores back. Say what…

The good news for Sabin — at least there’s a cool pro wrestler named after him. #HailSabin!

Fair point. Cardboard just seems flimsy in general but fall on a NES and it’ll probably stop working too.

My lingering and still biggest concern is that you could spend hours building a complex cardboard kit and then trip over your rug, fall down and smash the whole thing. It’s a lot of money for something that’s not indestructible.
