Also, don’t forget emulation! It’s an amazing retro gaming device.

Well, switch means easy PC play via Yuzu/Ryujinx!

I just couldn’t get into 16 at all, and this is from someone who loves everything right from the NES up to and including FF13 and 14.

Xenoblade has filled in the gap FF has left for me in many respects.

Yeah I retract my comment, I’ve worked with people in Germany and Japan before. Faxes were required for both!

I played this on my M1 Macbook when I got it a couple of years back. I had a free 6 month trial of apple arcade and it included Fantasian

It was great, and the dioramas they built in real life then 3D scanned make for some really unique looking worlds

If you’re in a modern country, sure.

If you live somewhere rural…birdwatching.

Combination is the best way.

Want to reheat a pizza slice? Microwave for half a minute/minute then in the air fryer to crisp it up. Ends up better than the first time around many times imo and done in seconds if you heat the air fryer up to 200°c first

Only the Wii generation? You mean, for the past 22 years (as it includes the GameCube).

Me, with a mate a week ago on Resident Evil 5.

In what world would you expect it to NOT be compatible with Switch cartridges?

• Game Boy, Color, Advance - backwards compatible
• GameCube, Wii - backwards compatible
• Wii - Wii U - backwards compatible
• DS - DSi - 3DS - N3DS - backwards compatible

For all their faults, Nintendo have been strong with backwards compatibility for 30+ years, the only exceptions being the SNES (NES backwards compatibility existed initially but was dropped), N64 (fucking complex custom architecture and final cart based console) and Virtual Boy (lol)

This is 7 years now since the launch of the switch. That’s longer than the period between the NES western launch to the SNES 1985-1991, longer than SNES to the N64 (1991-1996), longer than the N64 to the GameCube (1996 - 2001), longer than GameCube to the Wii (2001 - 2006), Wii to Wii U ( 2006 to 2012) and Wii U to Switch (2012 - 2017)

The ONLY exception being the OG Gameboy to GBC, 9 years.

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

That would be incredible

Spoken like someone who clearly doesn’t work in finance.

The numpad is essential for my work. You’re not seeing it from the perspective of myself who uses it as a calculator with automatic text entry while producing documents and estimations. That is my job, and it requires the numpad/calculator layout.

Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. Getting ONLY the green melons on each stage has always been the goal to get 100%. I remember vividly filling up the records screen and even sending a results photo in the post to N64 Magazine back in 1998.

I’ll try and dig up the issue that confirms the goal is to get the green melons. It’s hard mode yes, but it’s not exactly a hidden goal. Yoshi’s Story is very intentionally vague on providing any instructions or written goals to the player, but the instruction manual and guides do.

Edit: here we go. Instruction manual scan, page 18. Specifically tells you to collect all melons for the best score. It was always there and the game guides of the day made it very, very clear. https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_N64/Manual/formated/Yoshi-s_Story_-1998-_Nintendo.pdf

Edit edit: this is a sore point for me as there are a lot of traumatic memories being bought back now of getting to 29 melons then accidentally eating a banana and having to start over! Was a fucking pain in the arse and I remember spending hours and hours on it.
