@BLUEVOODU personal Q would not boot up. Totally dead just like the other game.
It makes me sort-of hesitant about purchasing any more 3DS games.

Right now, only Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes which is pretty fun and a good time-waster.

You were at a ridiculous level of Candy Crush @mastermario --> That was ridiculous lol.  :))

We probably need a topic on Pokemon TCG Pocket @Mai Valentine lol  ;D   I'm curious how the battling works

Quote from: retro junkie on July 26, 2025, 05:38:49 PM@BLUEVOODU I found only two out of my 3DS games, Monster Hunter Generations and Persona Q.
I am glad that my Batman Black Gate worked because I have seen it turning bad too.
@retro junkie -- were you able to see the settings screen for WiFi with Persona Q?  Just to at least see the settings and see what I was showing?

Both games are now available if you have the Nintendo Switch Expansion Pack.  Super Mario Strikers from the Gamecube and Mario Paint for the Super Nintendo are now able to be played.  The cool part about Mario Pain is the Nintendo Switch 2 has "mouse" functionality with the Joy-cons.  This works pretty well and is intuitive for the most part.

Metal Slug Tactics takes the Metal Slug franchise and throws it into a Tactical style of play. It is now coming to the Nintendo Switch in physical form for a limited release.  The price is $35 right off the bat... and that's not bad in my opinion for a Limited Run game.  I ended up pre-ordering it.

 @SpartanEvolved got me very interested in this title when he got it on the PC.  I about bought it on Steam but just decided the backlog was too long.

According to the description, it's more of a tactical rpg... and I'm pumped for this title even though it's not "new."  It is new, However, for a physical release... also released on the ps5. Single player only!

Retro Gaming and Hardware / A DS ML Console? Whuuut?!
Last post by retro junkie - July 28, 2025, 02:24:17 PM
I purchased this console back in May of 2024. I have no idea why it has taken me this long to post something about it. Maybe it is because I have been enjoying it too much? When I saw it up on AliExpress I had to have it. I would say it was $50 well spent.

Back when the first model of the DS console was released into the market from Nintendo, my personal thoughts were, "That has got to be the ugliest handheld ever." But I purchased it anyway. It was another innovation in gaming from Nintendo. The DS ML is that original console taken and re-shelled. This is a recycling of the original DS. I would say a big "thank you" to whoever that Chinese individual was. They are a genus. Because of it being a recycling of the old hardware it is a shot in the dark whether you get a nice unit or dead pixels on screen, etc. I am happy that the unit I got is perfect.

The interesting thing about the console is that there is nothing anywhere on the box or the console itself which gives you any idea that it is Nintendo related in any way. Even the preview of games on the back of the box says nothing about them being Nintendo DS games.

It came with some simple instructions and an AC adapter.

All of the buttons work and feel like the original DS. It plays great, both GBA and DS games. Surprisingly the shell is solid and of good quality. A big thumbs up.  :great:
