News / Leaks / Rumors / Re: Nintendo Switch 2
Last post by CreepinDeth - April 26, 2025, 10:59:36 PMMy wife managed to snag a Mario Kart bundle from Target. What a pain the butt that whole experience was.
I will say that it looks like Nintendo is starting to jump on the performance train a little bit. And of course, now that that has happened, prices have jumped.
At this point, it's clear that they want you to go fully digital now. "Physical" carts are mostly just now keys to play the digital version. Reports from Japan are saying nearly all of the 3rd party games are key cards. Not sure how I feel about that. It's great from a reselling stand-point, but it's only temporary. Eventually servers will get shut down.
And then there's tariffs on top of all of this. Going to see how things play out before I start building a library. This might just be a way to play Nintendo games for me and nothing more.

Last post by targetrasp - April 23, 2025, 11:26:58 PM@BLUEVOODU being generally decent human beings, I think we tend to overcompensate for the haters sometimes. Age was meh. I didn't hate it but it didn't hit as hard as its predecessors.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: Pokemon- UltraViolet on my...
Last post by retro junkie - April 11, 2025, 11:50:32 AM@BLUEVOODU I am needing to start the game over again. I was in a grinding mood when I was playing it. I built up my team of Pokemon so much that I couldn't capture anymore. I was wiping out every Pokemon that I went up against. Part of the Pokemon gameplay is collecting as many as possible. Pokemon- UltraViolet is a rom hack of Fire Red. I think it is taken from the Switch Pokemon Violet game inserting the Pokemon and story line. I also have one which is Sword & Shield GBA taken from the Switch games. It also is a hack of Fire Red.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 10, 2025, 12:03:07 PM@retro junkie Yeah... I'm willing to bet this goes down as a 50/50 love/hate movie lol. It would be cool to have something that rivals the prior Avengers movies. However, It's cool to see you down for the experience 
Like I said in the past, I just didn't like Avengers: Age of Ultron... however, once how I saw how it tied a few things together and a few of the nuances in the scenes... I really liked the movie. I was too harsh of a critic - IMO.
@targetrasp --> lol net nerd!

Last post by retro junkie - April 10, 2025, 11:17:10 AMI have not been too interested in this one. But my Daughter has gotten excited about it....(cough)Loki...(cough)Gambit...............and if she is interested then that gets my attention. I am now looking forward, but can't help having a tiny bit of skepticism. The success of this movie will depend how they bring all of this together. A lot of heroes means there are a lot of fans out there eyeing this and can easily be disappointed.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - April 07, 2025, 09:26:08 PMlol Are you going to open it @targetrasp ? Or leave it as a case queen now (generally this is a guitar term... but we'll use it for games this time)?

Marvel's first family has never been done well. 1986 movie was low budget and no one watched, second iteration of fantastic four was better but never caught and the second movie BARELY used the Silver Surfer, and the last iteration was completely forgettable.
Once again a new FF is coming out later this year, and its success will likely have a big impact on next year's avengers flick. I refuse to watch or read anything about these movies outside of the trailers. Lets face facts, the last few Marvel movies haven't been great and the net nerds are in full blown Disney hate mode. I just don't want any bias heading in because I'm already scared its not going to be good.
I got into comics in the copper age and bought what silver age stuff I could. My favorites were Xmen and Fantastic Four. I'm way more critical of those two and may join the net nerds in Disney hate if they get ruined.

Last post by targetrasp - April 03, 2025, 02:44:17 PMIt seems to be getting more and more difficult to find new stuff to binge, Streamers are moving back to the drip feed model and amping up the commercials... wonder where they got the idea?!
With that being said, I've been looking for some deep cuts I've missed. HBO Max has come through so far with Last Ship and Banshee. I finished Banshee and it was pretty great and has Homelander in it! I'm on the last season of Last Ship. also great. Its pacing isn't perfect but there's four seasons and pulling your content from a book or books makes that difficult, but in this case very forgivable.
Prodigal Son is also on Max but harder to recommend. Fantastic show despite following the same formula for the majority of the show. Once it broke that formula and got going it wasn't renewed for another season, leaving on a cliffhanger with no hope of conclusion.

Last post by retro junkie - April 02, 2025, 11:53:24 PMI finished SG Universe. I really got into it and enjoyed every minute. Bummer, they left it a cliffhanger and canceled the series. BIG disappointment. They could at least made a TV movie that gave it an ending to satisfy the fans, like they did with Firefly TV series.
I am now starting the British Primeval TV series, on the ROKU channel. I don't know why but I like this series and would love it on DVD, but I have had trouble finding it for region one.
