  1. Your 2024 Gaming Diary

    @Jonnas You should join me @Glen-i, @BowserBasher and @S.C.G for some of our N-E Mario Party NSO nights. You’ll quickly see how mad fun the N64 Mario Parties can be

    1 million gambling addicts made... Thanks PEGI!

    "Base Game Completion" is treated somewhat seperately from everything that was added after version 1.0 (it's not a seperate achievement list, but the game acknowledges the completion of all of the original achievements seperate from completing everything else; and also gives a particular noteworthy reward who I'm sure you're already well familiar with ).
  4. Virtual Reality

    ... yeah, pretty much exactly what most of us predicted would happen ended up happening. It's remarkable how such massive and established companies keep missing the bleeding obvious time and time again.
  5. Konami were pretty much the only Japanese publisher that really gave the N64 some proper 3rd party support. While most of their non ISS and Goemon efforts didn't turn out all that great, they certainly weren't for lack of trying. Here's something you might be surprised by... combing through the credits as seen on Mobigames, not a single person who worked on NBA In The Zone 98 on the N64 had previously worked on any of the prior NBA In The Zone games that were released on the PS1; and stranger still? Looking at the credits for the PS1 version? Not a single person who worked on that game had worked on any of Konami's other two basketball series that predated NBA In The Zone (Double Dribble and Run & Gun). Konami have always been a very strange company. You'd think that they would've wanted to tap into the institutional knowledge that they had already built from their previous basketball games, but nope. This isn't even all that out of character for them. As I previously explained in my Your Gaming Diary writeup for my playthrough of Castlevania Dracula X for SNES, Konami would often just throw everything out and start from scratch with staff who were completely new to a given established series. It's no wonder that the company was so dysfunctional and it's no small miracle that it actually did manage to put out so many stone cold classics throughout the 80s to early 2000s.

    There is certainly a defined "end", which I won't spoil, but there's a seemingly endless amount of post-game content and DLC that continues to trickle in on a regular basis. Completing all of the achievements and unlocking everything (as well as completing every task checkmark) is what people use to define "100% completion" in this game, and that'll take you a very long time to pull off.

    Wahey! Finally beat White Stake with all the base decks! Just moved on to Red Stake… and I beat it on my first attempt with Yellow Deck. Nice
  8. Fun fact. This game was released on the smallest, cheapest and nastiest N64 cart ever made available (just 4MB/32mbit; the same size as the DKC games on SNES); with the publisher even having the sheer gall to eschew on-cart memory for saves on top of it’s utterly puny ROM size, requiring the purchase and use of the notoriously flimsy N64 Controller Pak if you wanted to save. It is as slight and miserly as N64 games get. You mean Robotron 32 X, PlayStation ain’t got no 64bits! Those extra 32 bits make it a totes different game you fool! There was, it was called Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved
  9. Vampire Survivors

    Yeah, port is rock solid. That being said… … this is true. This game has the good kind of slowdown when you get to late-stage play, the kind where it’s just massively satisfying when you bring the system to its knees as you unleash pure rainbow vomit across the screen
  10. I don’t actually want better graphics, I just want the same graphics we have now with better performance/higher resolution. The thing I really want more than anything else though is some new & interesting control input/communication/screen gimmicks; or at least the return of some of the hardware innovations we lost with Switch (dual screens, stereoscopic 3D, Streetpass, IR Pointer, Active Stylus, cameras, microphones etc). I miss the wacky hardware and interesting gameplay possibilities we used to have in the Wii/DS/3DS/Wii U eras.
  11. Playstation 5 Console Discussion

    I fear for the price tag… considering the current rate of price inflation on all electronics, and the fact that we’ve seen the first ever console price increase post launch with the current PS5? This is gonna get ugly… $699+/£599.99+ is quite possible…

    And you thought that a Polychrome Egg was bad... The closest thing to a straight middle finger that Balatro can throw at you ... ...
  13. It's amazing just how much the original Mario Golf would just utterly blow this game out of the water hazard just a year and a half later. I mean, it's not even like this game actually appeared all that dated for its time. Contemporary releases on other platforms like PGA Tour 98, Everybody's Golf 1 & 2 and Actua Golf all used a similar presentation style, with 2D billboard sprites for your character and rather simple looking 3D graphics. Likewise, Golf games being based on a single course were also commonplace. And it's not like T&E Soft were strangers to the genre, in fact, they were perhaps THE most prolific golf game developer of all time (You may in fact know them as the developers of Nintendo Touch Golf on the Nintendo DS!). Mario Golf on the N64 was just that far ahead of everything else at the time. God bless you Camelot
  14. Yeah... I think I know too... Anyway, Chesnaught deserves better, so does Delphox; like, come on! There's nothing wrong with them! Actually Greninja deserves better too. Leave the poor thing alone Sakurai!
