I'm on a Switch and shmup kick... and I found another one recently on Amazon.  This time, I found Syder Reloaded - LIMITED for the Nintendo Switch.

It's a pretty cool looking Shmup by Strictly Limited Games. Check out this Syder Reloaded Game Trailer:

It looks cool. It's $40, not sure it'll drop... but thinking about buying this one at some point. What do you think?

Thoughts, comments... post it up!

[REALLY]

@CreepinDeth I wondered about that.  @SpartanEvolved also sent a story via text.   I am wondering if this is something that maybe happened once and by some fluke.  At the same time, I'm REALLY hoping this is NOT a future trend.  This would be a bad future trend...

@Mai Valentine - nice post!  Have you got back into Pokemon Go again?   Do you have others you play with?  If you want, you can use our Discord to help coordinate... It would be 100% awesome for them to join and if you used the Discord for multplayer sessions (etc).

What other thoughts do you have?  Most people I know have now stopped playing again, but... it would be interesting to pick it back up.  My backlog is so large now... it's getting embarrassing... lol 

It's been awhile since I have played any mobile / phone games.  I was playing Zinga Poker and Minecraft on the iPad and iPhone.   Every once in awhile, I would break out Candy Crush like @mastermario lol 

It's been awhile since we've had a mobile game post.  What are you currently playing, what should others check out for mobile gaming?

@AngelBob -- this is probably a long shot.  Checking in -  Are you still playing Ingress?  I hope you are doing well and see this ping.  Would be cool to see you come back.

you know what, @retro junkie, we definitely need a new topic.  Shall we create one?

The world has changed a lot in the last 20 years.  I still have my MVS single slot original Neo Geo MVS cabinet.  I have not played it for more than 1 hour in the last few years.  I turn it on to ensure the monitor and everything is functioning well.  It has an original working CRT monitor... which takes about 10 minutes to warm up.  It looks great after warmup (pretty standard).

Do you own a cabinet?  If so, what do you rock out?

@retro junkie - Did you every end up picking Andro Dunos2 for the Nintendo Switch?

@Grindspine - you can upload your images to this site. Might have to resize a bit, but you can add them as attachment and insert into the post 

An arcade section has now been added.  Relive the past, add new memories...etc.  Please check it out and post up!

Kicking off this new Arcade board!  It's been awhile for me ... but there are a few places that still have active arcades around here.  Have you been to an arcade lately?  IF SO, what have you been playing

Might be one for @retro junkie or @targetrasp

Yeah - Nintendo prices just don't fall LOL... 

I don't see discounts on Switch 1 prices as well.  I upgraded my original Switch to the OLED version.  The original Nintendo Switch is 7 years old?  2017.  Joy Cons were sent into Nintendo and fixed.  They work pretty well and have been working.  I might be interested in parting with it... maybe not as well.  I need to think about it - if interested.  Boxed... box might be a bit sun faded.

Anyone else looking to pick up a Switch 2?

ok - so the grind is pretty hard?  That was my worry on the Lunar games.  If I remember correctly, that was a thing in the past.  They are definitely great games.  Hard to put a ton of time into them with life as is and current gaming ADD 

Who has been playing Mario Kart World on the Nintendo Switch 2?  I believe at least @Bomber Man and @CreepinDeth has been lol 

The open world is pretty cool... interesting in how you switch between objectives and challenges while driving in the open world. I have very light experience so far... but watching and playing more.

Outside the $80 physical media cost ($50 with Switch 2 Console Bundle)... what excites you about this title?  Anything giving you pause?

If you partake, post it up!

Does it blow any one else's mind that "remastered" could ever be added to a Crysis title? 

Well... this has also been released for the Nintendo Switch. It was released a long time ago - July 23, 2020 and I totally missed it.  I am going to give it a shot... just because.

It's still about $40 and is on Amazon and other stores (Amazon affiliate link):

It has been confirmed - Nintendo Switch can run Crysis lol    I am pumped to try it out.

Have you played Crysis on the Switch?  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Old post bump - has anyone tried this out?  I have yet to try it.

I had a whole response I was writing and lost it.      This will be the shortened version.

Neo Geo cart games back in the day were super expensive as well... while SNES games were in the $49-69 range, they were going for $150 each.  There was a Genesis racing game (Virtua Racing) with the SVP (Sega Virtua Processor) chip that I think debuted for $99 if my memory serves me right.  I remember back in the day... I was like "$100... what the heck?!"  Star Fox with the SFX chip was $59.99.  Those were expensive... but I do remember some sales... also remember mowing many yards to purchase more LOL.    N64 games jumped up to the $75's if I remember those right.

Thank you for the heads up on Bangai-O.  I have one excellent in box... I might look to lighten the collection soon.  We will see.

It is awesome to see the home brew communities. I was trying (way back on the old store) to give a platform for home brew communities to launch titles for different systems.  It didn't work out at the time - long story... but it was an interesting run at the concept! Glad to see they're still live and well.

$80 for Mario Kart world is a bit pricey... though the arguments for inflation aren't wrong... it still doesn't take away the sting of the game prices.

LOL @Grindspine ... great reference.  We need another cook out with huge prawns again. Or whatever those large shrimp are.  I haven't seen them for a long time.  It was at least a few years before covid

I ended up watching and watching.... and watching for a discounted price on a Physical copy of the Playstation Vita Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours.  I found one a couple or few years back.

I'm happy I bought it new on the drop... as it was a one time opportunity.  Funny enough, I've only played it a few times... but it was a great snag.

I Am doing a necro bump on this topic.  I know we had a couple other topics on the Vita... but this one needs a bump.

Early 30's Dave, dood's mid 50s now. Makes you feel old...

You are 100% right on that.  If you look at Max Cavalera from Sepultura / Soulfly, Metallica, Megadeth... Anthrax... Offspring... basically any bands LOL.  This getting older stuff... what in the world.

On 07/02/25 the forums were upgraded to the newest version for some bug fixes and security features.

* Yesterday and on the weekend, I did a bit of SEO work to start trying to get the forums moving forward.
* Today, I added a feature that makes the URLs a bit prettier... we will see how that goes. 


Please let me know if you see any issues and/or have questions.  I am continuing to perform upgrades and add new features.

LOL     @targetrasp come on buddy!

LOL man.. what an epic ride though.   

DONE ... DONE... on to the next one!

lol @retro junkie --> In this case, you won't want WEP.  It's been hackie hacked.

As far as the refund... good idea!  However, I'd say... don't be afraid to try again. Just ensure you get it from somewhere that will refund in case there is an issue.

At this point, game offerings on the Nintendo Switch 2 are pretty light. However, what games are you looking forward to that have been announced?  ALSO... what is your dream list of Nintendo Switch 2 games that you would like to see hit the platform?

After the current upgrades, I'm trying to get back on top of the social logins.

Has anyone noticed any issues with the Social logins?  do you still use them...etc?
