What is your favorite Xbox Console and console design?   For example, it could be the Xbox 360 Halo 3 edition... or the Halo Reach Xbox 360, or any of the other released Xbox Consoles.  There have been many console editions released over the years (though it seems all companies are not releasing the custom designed consoles).

There was this Xbox One Crazy Tomb Raider one of a kind console I posted awhile ago that was really cool:

The Mario + Rabbids Dual Pack is an Amazon Exclusive for the Nintendo Switch that contains both released Mario + Rabbids games.  I thought we had topics on both of those games on the forum, but we do not!

The games included are Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope.  These are pretty fun games in an XCOM style... which is a turn based tactical style game.  I am a sucker for these type of games. 

This pack is a great deal.  However, my only annoyance (and it's a big one for me) is that the games are a Code in the box.    Other than that, this is a great collection.  Right now, it is $29... it was on sale just recently for about $25.  See the discount post in the deals section:

This is a great collection and is a great package of games for a great price.  I wish it was a physical release, but if you don't care, pick this up.  You might be able to find more deals coming up for the holidays.

If you have these games, post up what you like about them.  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Rick Henderson... yes, another Shmup!     Am I on a Shmup kick?  perhaps! 

This is a 16-bit styled shooter ... in your typical Shmup format.  You can get it for the Nintendo Switch or Playstation 5 in standard edition or Nintendo Switch in the Extra edition.  This game apparently was released in the digital platforms on the Nintendo store (and potentially others).  This is a physical edition and will be released November 7, 2025.

Below is a screenshot of the contents of the Nintendo Switch Special edition.  There's even a floppy with a USB key in the floppy lol.

I'm a bit excited for another Shmup... I like Shmups, shmups are my favorite. I am going to wait though to see if I can get it at a bit of a discount.  The Extra Edition looks really cool... though I probably won't bite at that version.

@SpartanEvolved mentioned this the other day.  At least on its current versions, Costco will no longer be stocking Xbox Series S and X systems.

Link:  https://www.thegamer.com/costco-retailer-xbox-series-x-s-microsoft-gaming-no-longer-sold-confirmation/

I almost bought an Xbox Series X Halo limited edition back in... 2021 I think it was.  What I will say is, limited competition is not good.  I hope it doesn't mean that Xbox is doomed. There seem to have been more limited releases for the Xbox during this generation.  In terms of unique games, it seems there are limited number of options.

2025 marks 40 years of Super Mario Bros.   Holy crap. Where did the time go?

I don't know about many others, but I had the pleasure of playing Super Mario Bros for the 1st time in the arcade. I post up on this in the What was your 1st Arcade Experience? topic in Arcade

The following Mario website is really hammering into the 40 years of SMB:

There also a Super Mario Galaxy movie coming April 2026 - this is in collaboration with Illumination. Im a fan of several Illumination movies.

This is pretty cool!  I wondered if this was going to happen.

The Virtual Boy is being added to Nintendo Online for Nintendo Switch and Switch 2!  This is coming February 17, 2026.

This will be cool and will be an accessible way to enjoy Virtual Boy ... although, if you haven't tried the Virtual Boy on an actual system, you are missing a bit lol.  It was a unique experience. 

However, you CAN add a Virtual Buy Accessory for $100 - yes...  a Virtual Boy Accessory which is a replica of the old Hardware!

Or you can do cardboard mode which is literal cardboard accessory that fits over your console and you view through it to your screen:

Personally, I'd want to skip cardboard mode and do the full accessory. Maybe the cardboard accessory would work well... I just don't see it translating well...?

What would be cool is if they added new games!  I'm not holding my breath for that... but how cool would that be?

I'm pumped for this.  What about you?  Thought, comments... post it up!

It looks like Final Fantasy Tactics has just been released for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series and playstation 5.  This game looks rather cool. It's been a LONG time since I tried the original and memories have faded a bit.  However, I remember it being an enjoyable experience back then.  This game is on my radar for the future... I am a sucker for tactics games like this.

Have you played Final Fantasy Tactics?  What are your best memories of this game?  Are you excited for the new version?  I figure @Mai Valentine, @targetrasp and @retro junkie might have something to say on this topic lol

It appears they are launching Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 single pack for Nintendo Switch.  Both games are included.   This is a pretty cool package, however, the price is going to be $70. 

If you already have the Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the Nintendo Switch, then you already have Super Mario Galaxy on the Switch. The Super Mario 3D All-Stars is going to run you a lot of money these days, so if you do not have it, the Super Mario Galaxy 1 an 2 collection will be the best way to go. 

It's cool they're releasing this... and they know people are going to pay.  I'm going to hold off, but I'm sure enough people are going to tell Nintendo to shut up and take their money lol        I'm also wondering if this will become a rare gem... somewhat like Super Mario 3D All-Stars at this time.

This game comes out on October 2nd... here is our Amazon affiliate link:

I didn't notice that I missed the achievement "Metal Slug Attack" in Metal Slug on Steam.  As of writing this message, it is a 6.9% of players completed achievement.  I just got the achievement.

Essentially, you just need to defeat a boss with the Metal Slug Attack.  This is the attack where you send the metal slug flying in front of you and explodes on whatever it hits.  You can do this attack with your Fire and Jump button, hitting them at the same time.   It's a pretty easy attack, timing it to kill a boss is not always the easiest.

The easiest way is to do the 1st stage on easy.   Your mileage may vary... but get the metal slug, keep it and ensure you pick up the extra bombs on the way hidden in crates and with POWs that you rescue.   When you get to the boss, hit the boss with about 8-10 Cannon shots (bomb button).  For the 1st boss on easy, I used 10 shots.   I dodged the next 2 attacks (ducked and jumped)... and then performed the Metal Slug attack slamming the metal slug into the boss.

It worked, achievement received... and this is a pretty easy way to do it.

Here is a good guide and video to show how it's done as well.

Alright... it's time to Vote it up!  What is your favorite Counter-Strike version?

I've been playing Counter-Strike since it was a half-life mod in 1999... and have been back into Counter-Strike 2.  There's a ton to love and hate about this game! lol  If you've played it, you know what I mean.  It's also the king of "Just One More." 

What is your favorite version?  Poll it up!

Ok - I have Metal Slug on many platforms.   Steam offers achievements, of course.  Due to this, plus playing on Steam Deck and other resources, I also bought Metal Slug for a great deal on Steam.

With that, There is 1 achievement I'm having a hard time obtaining.  @SpartanEvolved knows what I'm talking about LOL     That is, beat the game without using a continue.     There is a 2.1% all inclusive achievement rate for this achievement.  That means... 2.1% of players have achieved this.  I have not. 

Have you ever completed Metal Slug without using a continue?

If you had a Steam Deck and you were thinking of upgrading to the Steam Deck OLED... would you buy the Steam Deck OLED OR would you wait at this period in time?  Why?

Hallow Knight Silksong has been released!  This was a highly anticipated game!  The release was so highly anticipated, it ended up causing crashes to several gaming stores.

I don't have a ton of time into the original Hallow Knight.  It was definitely fun... and challenging. It appears many others agree as the new release crashed stores LOL     I don't see this happening very often for a digital distribution game these days.

Here's a wired article on those crashes.

Thinking back... a long time ago or even more recent times... what was your 1st arcade Experience?

For me... it was awhile ago.  I cannot say it was my 1st experience, but it was the 1st and most profound experience.  I was on a trip with my parents and happened across a new Super Mario Bros arcade machine.  I was hooked.  From this point on, I was hooked to arcades.  I had played other games on older home consoles, and enjoyed them.  There was something about Super Mario Bros that just resonated and clicked well.

What about you?  Thoughts ... comments... Post it up!

It's been a long time since I've been to a Buffalo Wild Wings and ate inside the restaurant... pre-covid was the time frame.  However, a long time ago, my buddy and I would go there, get wings and beer and play Golden Tee.

Golden Tee was was never my favorite game... but it was fun at the time.  We would smash the stupid trackball (or roller ball) to drive and chip a like.  The thing that perplexed me - how the trackball never was greasy and slimy with wing and beer residue... LOL OR maybe I just didn't notice it 

Did you play Golden Tee?  Is it still a thing?  What are your thoughts and comments?  Post it up!

Right now, I am thinking of breaking down the forum into digestible Chunks.  What do I mean?  currently, we have the gaming forums where retro is it's own entire board with everything slammed in there.  This includes the Descriptions.  Another example is the Nintendo section.  It has the Switch, Switch 2 and many others crammed in there ... including the board descriptions.

I'm thinking of sub-boarding all the systems each in their own board in Nintendo (for example) to try to make things a bit cleaner for descriptions and in terms of URLs.  I've established "pretty URLs" not that long ago to try to do better on the search engine ranks.  This is also how we used to have things divided up, and I get the concern that many boards would look a bit under utilized due to activity.

Here's what the "pretty link" looks like for the Nintendo section:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/nintendo-switch-2-switch-3ds-and-wii-u/

Instead, examples could be (removed https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/ from URLS as links are not real):
/forum/nintendo/
/forum/nintendo/switch-2
/forum/nintendo/swith
/forum/nintendo/3ds

In terms of retro... I don't know yet, I don't think we are ready to break everything out there either.  Trying to come up with a plan.

I would like to get fresh thoughts on this.  This is open to everyone... and I am tagging a several people here to try to ping them for opinions.  I appreciate your help, time and participation.  What I don't want to do is make the experience worse.  This is to try to balance certain objects and try to gain more participation

I bought Ghost of Tsushima for the Playstation 5 and I have never played it.  It's still sealed.  The reason I got it is because the PS5 was extremely hard to get and the game was part of a bundle.  Bundles were a way stores used to help stop some of the scalpers... or at least move more product lol    By the way, I used to call Ghost of Tsushima... Ghost of Sashimi 

Ghost of Yōtei is now coming out October 2nd, 2025... and it looks interesting.  Ghost of Tsushima also looked interesting, I just never played it.  It sounds like the story has progressed and you are now 300 years after Ghost of Tsushima took place. 

Amazon affliate link to game - https://amzn.to/3VMLy0R

I'm looking for opinions of both games and a reason to crack the game with my currently limited time.  Did you play Ghost of Tsushima?  Did you enjoy it?  Are you looking forward to Ghost of Yōtei?  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

The PlayStation Vita had a "blue light," Just like the Wii, that would go off during certain events.  You used to be able to message friends on your friend's list.  This would cause the blue light to go off, game updates, news, and other events such as successful game save uploads that would happen when the system saved to the PSN.

Most of those features are now done... closed down due to the support for the console ending.  However, you can still get the light to activate by turning on the game data upload to PSN.  The data uploads every morning (early) and kicks the blue light lol.

The interesting part, and what I really dug about the Vita, is that it made it so much easier to message friends.  It was much harder and disruptive to message on screen with the PS3, PS4 and PS5.   I would offload that to the Vita and it was also touch screen... so much easier to get a message out.   This feature is now gone with most other features as well when the console was shut down.  When you would get messages, this would also kick the blue light into gear.

Here is a way to get that old light kicking up again.  Do you remember this blue light?  Does it kick memories for you?  Thoughts... comments... Post it up!

Here are a couple topics on the Nintendo Wii Blue Light... and a little bit of nostalgia:

There seem to be several offerings for gaming subscriptions now.  You have the Xbox game Pass, Playstation Network (Extra and above) and several others.

Have you bought into these?   I personally have not.  I tend to buy games I want, they tend to be physical games... but I do utilize services like Steam, Blizzard and others were the games are not really physical anymore.  If you have bought into them, why have you and are they worth it to you?  If you do not, why are you holding out?

Post It up!

I had a weird thing happen with my Vita today.  I was switching between games and was trying to set the automatic upload for game data.  The screen wouldn't allow me to select certain things... it's like the touchscreen wasn't responding and was jumping everywhere. The touch controls on the back of the system were also causing the game menus in the main screen to jump everywhere.   This evolved further where I couldn't get out of the menus or select anything... and the menus just kept jumping around.

I couldn't power off the system because I couldn't select the power off button lol     I corrected this by pressing power and the system screen turned off.  I was then miraculously able to hold the power where it gave me the power off button again where it allowed me to power off (screen was still acting funny).  Once the console rebooted, everything was right.

Has any one else experienced this?

Alrighty then... Another one down!   This time, it was Lego DC Super-Villains for the PS4 with a 100% Complete Platinum Trophy!

I use the term "glitch" in many capacities for video games... ahem @SpartanEvolved ... However, without a doubt, this is the glitchiest Lego game to date that I have played.  Most Lego games are not perfect and have issues here and there with operations not working totally right. They're still fun and work well for the most part. 

From the start of playing this game, we had to reset, stop and start and accept losing saves due to game crashes over a ton of sessions. The other pieces to mention is, the races are more painful in this game compared to other Lego games.  By painful, they're just hard to complete sometimes and mechanics don't always work right with the vehicle required to finish the race.

Overall, it's a fun game, great puzzles, really good music, cool levels and fun challenges.

I missed this topic 2-3 couple weeks back.  We ended up watching Fantastic Four: first Steps, Marvel's newest edition to the line-up.  There was 2 after credit scenes as well that were worth watching.  Personally, we all loved the movie and thought it was great.   We didn't watch many of the reviews ahead of time as we wanted to stay as neutral as possible.

Who has seen this movie? What are your thoughts?  Are you excited to see this movie if you haven't already?

Not sure if everyone knows.  If you're planning to buy a Nintendo Switch 1, do it quickly or buy a Switch 2.  The Switch 2 is not increasing in price.  Prices are supposed to increase today.

Switch Lite --> $200 to $230
Regular Switch --> $300 to $340
Switch OLED --> $350 to $400

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!

@SpartanEvolved sent this one to me... and it's pretty cool, but (imo) not for the price tag. I'd actually really like to try this out.

7.8 inch foldable screen with a 5.5 inch outer screen. Except... it's $2000. The iPhone... and many other phones... are already salty. This is extra salty. For as salty as this is... there are a few saltier options!   

Apple's first foldable iPhone tipped to feature 7.8-inch display, A20 Pro chip, and 48MP cameras

I really think foldable phones are pretty cool ... ever since I saw the razer reboot that included a foldable screen.

Donkey Kong Bananza for the Nintendo Switch 2 has just been released and is available. This game actually looks like it's worth buying... albeit $70 is a pretty steep price tag imo. The graphics look pretty good, and the gameplay looks like it could be another solid Donkey Kong game entry into the franchise.

I am actually interested in this game, though I think I'm going to wait to see if it hits a sale at some point.

I was curious what Anthropic Claude Sonnet 4 had to say in regards to Super Mario Sunshine for the Gamecube... and here is the review:

Super Mario Sunshine stands as one of the most divisive entries in the Mario catalog, and for good reason. Set on the tropical Isle Delfino, Mario's beach vacation quickly turns into a cleaning mission as he's framed for vandalizing the island with graffiti. Armed with F.L.U.D.D., a water-spraying backpack device, players must restore the island's shine sprites and clear Mario's name.

The game's tropical aesthetic is undeniably gorgeous, with vibrant colors and creative level designs that make Isle Delfino feel like a genuine vacation destination. F.L.U.D.D. introduces genuinely fun mechanics—hovering, rocket-boosting, and pressure-washing enemies creates a fresh Mario experience that feels distinct from its predecessors.

However, Sunshine's ambition often exceeds its execution. The notorious blue coin collection becomes tedious, voice acting feels stilted, and the camera system fights you at crucial moments. Most frustratingly, the F.L.U.D.D.-less platforming sections expose imprecise controls that make challenging sequences feel unfair rather than rewarding.

It also gave the game 3 out of 5 stars!  What are your thoughts?  Do you feel the review is accurate? Do you think it's flawed?  Do you agree?

Critique the AI review!  Thoughts, comments, post it up!

We just came back from watching Superman... needless to say, I was very skeptical.  I wrote off many DC releases. However, I decided to give this movie a shot.

@SpartanEvolved mentioned Superman was awesome, reviews seemed really good... so I gave it a chance. I did like other Superman movies... it was several other DC movies that soured my opinion of DC over the last many years. Now there are a couple DC movies I want to catch up on lol 

I would say it's worth a view - pretty good to great movie.

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?
