Happenstance

I wanted to play the original Mario and it was easier than hooking the SNES up!

Finally got around to flashing my SNES mini to add new games to it. Playing through Mario Bros 1 now on Mario All Stars because of that GB video I mentioned.

Typical Nando

I do wish they'd made Kiryu's design look a bit older. The amount of characters that call him gramps etc when he probably still looks younger than them is a bit weird.

I'm gonna have to duck out of this thread. Everytime I come in to read the posts I get more and more tempted to buy the game but I want to wait until I finish Yakuza 6!

Straight swap for Conte? Nope. Joey Barton has cancelled his appointment to Fleetwood and will now be managing Arsenal.

He's going to Chelsea

Its available on Amazon again now https://www.amazon.co.uk/PlayStation-711719386070-God-War-PS4/dp/B01GVRZZGY/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=794DACFECNZ35XMEN4CX

Wenger has confirmed he's leaving in the summer! https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43834283

Just watching Brad from Giant Bomb try and complete Super Mario Bros. I may have to get my NES out tomorrow.

Take the PS4 into the showers with you and yes it will.

Eurogamer did an interview about the VCS https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-04-18-atari-on-re-entering-the-hardware-space-with-the-vcs

I’ve heard that a lot. Apparently it hits a certain point and then really takes off.

Time to trade in your Dreamcast and get a Mega CD

That WCW Mayhem PS1 game I bought came today so I'm just trying it now. ...its pretty terrible!

Dont do it!!!

I'll be interested to see if anymore sales numbers come out now that these extra backwards compatible games are available. Apparently the One X sold really well at launch but then went down quite a bit, which is why there have been more deals and bundles around recently.

To be honest I probably would have bought more by now along with the N64 for the wrestling games but I'm trying to put aside money at the moment for Comic Con at the end of May so you'll probably see purchases from me again in June!

No I'm the same but I know we are definitely in the minority.

We seem to take it in turns to have our retro game purchase flourishes. Who's next on the list after me and SCG?

I wouldn't be surprised if removing the campaign has been talked about for years so im not sure this is definitely a reaction to wanting a Battle Royale mode. Its always been spoken about that the campaign is very much secondary to that series and a lot of people don't even touch it. Its easy enough to get the data on that and probably realise that their money can probably be used better elsewhere.

I thought Jurassic World was ok but that looks terrible.

Don't think I've played a Pro Evo game since the original Xbox.

Just had my first live chat experience in Yakuza 6. I love this series, its dumb in all the right ways

Here we go!
