Amazing vid, thanks for posting. My jaw was on the floor throughout. Anyway, I don’t usually watch these kind of vids where someone is just looking at boxes and stuff (unless I’m having trouble sleeping ) but this one caught my eye as it’s about a complete Goemon collection! A series that I’m very fond of indeed, so I decided to check it out: So cool. Quite a few titles I didn’t actually know about too, including that board game. You can really see where things started to go wrong with that horrible change in style on the later games. There’s no doubt that the best entries were the first ones on both SNES and N64. But yeah, that guy seems optimistic that Goemon will return at some point (nothing new since 2005 now! ) I can’t say I share his optimism, but very much hope he’s right.

I’m on the last few stages now (I think) and things have been getting very tricky indeed! The game definitely isn’t short on challenge, that’s for sure.

New content arrives on Friday, including new Event Quests! I’m really into event quests this time. Got all the low rank ones done, most of high rank and a few g rank, but yeah... event quests are great. Speaking of which, there’s one I did the other day that was absolutely hilarious (anyone that’s played earlier MH games should be able to guess what type of event quest it was now ) and I typically don’t read the description before each quest, so it completely took me by surprise. Was playing solo at the time, but will definitely like to replay that one with some of the N-E hunting crew. Also, have any of you lot that are really big fans of Astalos done its dual event quest? You can get some pretty cool gear from it.

Left Captain Falcon in the wrong place.

Ok, got a hub set up, usual password.

Played through the new area in the "adventure" mode yesterday. Didn't take very long to get through (and the reward for doing so was craptacular) but yeah, better that nowt I guess. Hopefully they keep adding to it, although I'm not going to hold my breath. The new online co-op mode is kind of disappointing too, and playable with swing mode controls only for some bizarre reason.

I'm now at 0 points. It's all good though, as I ended up getting my 12 month subscription to Switch Online for around a fiver. Hopefully I can get next year's (if I decide to continue) for "free".

Yeah, was a good laugh. Especially RCR, that had me in stitches! Shame it runs so badly, although I have to admit that also kind of adds to its charm. The lag in this is a weird one really, it's kind of just like tiny stutters here and there, especially noticeable for me during Balloon Fight though, as it's one of my favourite NES games and something I've spent a lot of time playing over the years. Yep... Incomprehensible. We can only hope enough people speak up about it, and it gets sorted out. Amazed it was left like that in the first place though, like how the hell did nobody twig during development!?

Sorry I couldn't join you last night @Mokong, got your invite upon returning from a quest, at which point your hub was already full. I'll be online today from around 5 - 7pm, and again (after MK) at around 9pm. Happy to help out with whatever, or if anyone wants to help me, my MH "shopping list" currently includes Rajang Horn+ (absolute pain in the arse because I can't hunt Rajang to save my life ) and Ahtal-Ka Alluring Gem (also a pain in the arse, just for different reasons ).

Every time I play Ice Climber I start laughing, the controls on that game just never fail to amuse. Unbelievably frustrating. BTW, what’s the deal with online leaderboards, or has that not been implemented yet? I was just thinking how great it’d be if Nintendo added GB games to this thing too.

I urge everyone to check out the demo for this. You get a nice feel for the combat, story gameplay and can even drive around in Ken’s car while listening to music from Binary Domain and Super Monkey Ball! You don’t even know how much I’m looking forward to this game!

There’s no option to remove all the crap surrounding the screen when playing NES games, is there? How the hell could they mess that up now after getting it right on the NES and SNES minis!? Anyway, got all my save data backed-up (minus Splatoon 2, obviously) but out of everything I own, including all the eShop stuff, that was the only game not supported. So yeah, a sign that most devs will enable the feature, I quess. Feels nice getting my save data for games like Zelda and Monster Hunter on there.

Cheers @Glen-i & @Hero-of-Time for a thoroughly enjoyable Prowler hunting session earlier on. 4 x Prowlers is just chaos, complete and utter chaos! Love it. What a fireworks display. Got a couple of GIFs that I'll post in the other thread in a sec.

I’m still too invested in Monster Hunter at the moment (that, plus the reasons I mentioned above) so decided against picking up the vehicle kit for the time being. Lets us know how you get on with it!

That’s cool, but if you are going to be doing the Prowler quests at any point I’d definitely be up for helping out.

Hehehe. That’s pretty funny as today I made the switch back to hunter! Had so many items collected (from hundreds of quests as a Prowler) that I managed to get some pretty decent hunter gear made up straight away, over 900 defense! Also got a beast of a hammer forged, well over 300 attack plus purple sharpness! Still upgrades available too. I’m a bit rusty with the hammer, but it sure was fun hunting with it again. I also managed to solo the G Rank event quest for the Breath of the Wild’s Link gear, something which I came close to doing as a Prowler, but couldn’t quite manage. Anyway, if you want to meet up tomorrow for any of the Prowler exclusive quests (or anything else) just let me know. Would be great if we could organise an N-E all Prowler session actually. Hardly anyone seems to use Prowler online, and I cannot remember the last time I did a four player Prowler hunt.

I will do no such thing! This is why Karate Joe needs to be included, oh wait... that would be GBA though. Ok, it’s time for playable Nintendog!

No. Just no. I need to lie down...

This is funny in hindsight after that Nakarkos hunt, where our random “helper” decided to just stay at camp for 95% of the fight. It’s a miracle we got through that one actually. Anyway, yesterday’s hunting made it pretty clear that I definitely need to get some higher defense gear for my Prowler. Some of those monsters were practically one shotting me! I’m using the best armour that I can currently make though. It looks as if there is better stuff, but it’s locked behind the Level 3+ G Rank Special Permit hunts. Only other alternative is switching to a Protect Prowler I guess, but that messes up boomerangs, which is how I’m used to playing.

Cheers. I’m available for hunting whenever today (playing right now actually ) until around 10:30pm. Had a few hunts with Mokong and H-o-T earlier on, taking on low rank monsters with 2 players using endgame gear is just ridiculous!

Can anyone refresh my memory about the specifics of weapon sharpness? For example, is it better to use a weapon with a higher attack value and blue sharpness, or one with a slightly lower attack but with purple sharpness? Got a feeling it’s the latter, but not sure. That. Or the fact his insane hunting skills have the monsters in constant rage mode. I’m now thinking about reverting to default shout-outs too though, just incase. Yeah right. Custom shout-outs are funnier than watching you cart... just about.
