lol Nice! Neeeerrrdddddd.       That's cool you buy your own realm though @AngelBob .   I was thinking about it at one point.  There was a lot we were doing with Minecraft.   We just haven't played a lot of it in the last 1-2 years.  Before that... we were playing almost every day.

The battle mini games are a lot of fun.  Did you get into those?

Man...  just a little. I can't believe this came out as long ago as it did. This year is rocking by hard.

It'll be interesting to see what they do and come out with from here on out.  I'm hoping it's as awesome as the last decade.   Man... so much life happened during that decade as well. 

That hammer sound at the end end of the movie. Still brings chills a bit.

No.  Because no. 

I guess they struck a deal now.  We will see that'll work out.   I guess the world is no longer coming to an end.

Thank you @CreepinDeth I checked that out.    What about someone here that has played it  thoughts from anyone?

Yeah... @targetrasp ... I get that. Plus there is cross play now!    It's a habit I'm in for most cods...  I didn't get the steel book for WWII if there was one... also for Infinite Warfare and Ghost.  Actually ... it's almost ways been the Black Ops series by Treyarch now that I think of it...  funny I just realized that.

This will be the 1st Infinity Ward steel book.

Yeah... this game is quite fun... I need to play it more.

What was the 3DS that came with this game, @targetrasp   Do you have a link or image?

In Animal Crossing New Leaf on the 3DS, there was this blue gray frog looking shadow that would surface as times swimming in one of my rivers.   I couldn't get it to bite while fishing.     The below describes how to catch this thing... This was a bit tough and requires patience.

It is actually a Diving Beetle.  You need to catch it with your net.  The Shadow will swim / float / glide along the water.  It will surface here and there.  You need to try to catch the Diving Beetle when it surfaces RIGHT NEXT to the shore.    It's a pain to catch, but you will need it if you want to complete your insect library.   It is found in the rivers and ponds from what I've read.  I've not seen it in a pond yet... only river.

Happy catching!  Feel free to post questions, comments, and if you caught the Diving Beetle.

I thought this was pretty cool.  It's not the most favorite game out there of mine, but I know a lot of members were playing: @SpartanEvolved @Mai Valentine @mastermario and others.  I cannot remember if @Strubes did or not.

Anyway, Overwatch Legendary Edition is coming out for the Nintendo Switch:
Overwatch Legendary Edition - Nintendo Switch - Amazon.com

It will be released October 15, 2019.

Who will be picking this game up?  Who's looking forward to the Switch version?   Post it up!

@retro junkie I agree.... I don't know, but the yellow color is just solid.  It screams MOIINNNEe.  It will be interesting to see where the 3DS / Switch go... or if another upgraded *DS* will come out.  The 3DS is 7 years old I believe, right?   There haven't been improvements since the last iteration where they added a control nub (c-stick).  So ... they are coming to a time where an upgrade is going to be necessary... UNLESS... the Switch Lite is it and they're uniting on a single platform.    If they pull a Wii U again on a single platform... they're not going to have a 3DS to pull them through.   This isn't knocking the Wii U... it just didn't sell well.


@targetrasp I had a little bit of a difficult time with Mario Odyssey on the smaller Screen.  But Super Mario Maker 2 is good... as well as Bomberman R and quite a few more titles.  I understand what you are saying though.  It was hard to see everything in the distance (in the back ground or as parts of the game moved to the background... like throwing the cap.

I think instead of tg-16 they should just go ahead and do a Turbo Express.

Bumping an old topic.... lol.. see @targetrasp dreams do come true!  Except the Turbo Express part lol.  At least we have a Turbo Grafx Mini.

@retro junkie you know what... a Jaguar Mini would be awesome.  I'd get behind that.  Aliens Versus Predator that works on a modern Screen... I'm sure it's aged though.  I'd love to see a REAL reboot of the original game for a modern console.  Raiden on the Jaguar sucked though... I love Raiden and Jaguar Raiden made me a bit sad.  Iron Soldier 1 and 2 would be legit entries.

Also mentioned... FM Towns Marty would be nice!

@Jack and @CreepinDeth mentioned N64... those are necessary IMO.  Even an N64 remastered Mini would be cool with multiplayer.     What about a Gamecube mini??

I hate to say it @targetrasp ... Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast don't ever seem to be a possibility.  But who knows... maybe that could / would change.

Nice @Grindspine !   I bet she'll dig that lol.

Anyone have a review of this thing yet?

@retro junkie yeah... it really appears it is all about Monday.   I cannot blame Sony... and to me it seems like Disney is being a turd about it.  They had a good combo together with this thing.  DON'T frickin spoil it over money... come on.

@targetrasp lol... You get outta here with that Tobes comment. 

Awesome @retro junkie ... That  movie was near perfection.    You know... I REALLY liked how they all had their signature at the end.  It really had the feel of the end though.   I know we will have more movies... but after this built up, It really does seem like the end.

I'm sure they will make a 4 movie collection.  They would be smart to make a WHOLE collection and place them in Chronological order.  That would be awesome too!

Glad you got to see it, Retro Junkie!    And yes... it was definitely satisfying @CreepinDeth ... touched the feels a bit too (if those terms are used anymore).

I beat the 1st Metroid without a Game Genie... but holy crap was that tough.  The Mother Brain battle...

In recent game happenings... I've been playing the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta.  It's pretty fun.

LOL @CreepinDeth good meme... yes..   

I doubt it'll be possible... I'm not even sure the total amount of games they have.  Sounds like we need an FM Towns Marty topic... *cough* 

Good luck on the Steel Book.  You probably could pick one up at Gamestop on Launch... though I had to find for my Black Ops 4 Steel Book from Gamestop last year because I totally missed the pre-order.   They had 1 left... and I had to beg to get them to hold it for me.

They did have some extra ones returned... or not picked up for the next week (on the website)... but they don't last long.   It's $110-120 I believe for the Steel Book version.

Links Awakening was in 93' on the Gameboy... Zelda 2 was that balls hard sidescroller with the overworld map...

Good Call @targetrasp   Thanks for the correction.   Derp... and Now that I remember, I've had the least experience with this game.   I played it a bit... got it with a Metallica Blue Game Boy last 90's.

Is anyone looking to pre-order Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One?   I have mine purchased from Gamestop instead of Amazon due to the Steel book version.

IF you pre-pre-ordered, you were able to get into Beta Access.   Check that topic out here:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Beta

If you are interested, you can pre-order through the following link:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - PlayStation 4 - Amazon.com

I will miss the Blackout mode... but it will be cool getting back to a Modern Warfare style game.    Are you buying?  @targetrasp ... we still have other COD Multiplayers to catch up on... and achievements to do lol.

Post it up!

I pre-ordered the new Call of Duty (Modern Warfare) for the PlayStation 4... I was able to get in the beta.

It's pretty fun... I Will miss the Blackout mode.  I really dug it ... even though @targetrasp and I never managed to team up lol.  We need to still do the CAll of Duty Co-Op thing we talked about.

Anyway.. The game really feels like most other Call of Duty Games in the Modern Warfare lineup.  The levels look pretty good.   It ALSO looks like they are trying to do Cross Play.  There are Cross Play features in the main menus... where I think this game is going to work Cross Platform... a lot like Fort Nite.  This is the most exciting feature...  It's about time more games do this!

Is anyone else looking to get into this once it launches?  @targetrasp @Strubes @Jack @HylianSeven @Mai Valentine @Aya-Kun - Maybe you all?  I don't see anyone else with the BETA on my PS4 Friends list.

I was a little intrigued by the Nintendo Switch Lite... it looks like they are trying to replace the 3DS with it.    IS that true or the case?  I don't know.  It used to be Nintendo had "pillars" of products.  Now... I wonder if they see the future of Gaming as more portable handle like the Switch.  It's a great idea and it has MANY  use cases for portable multiplayer gaming.

The price point of $200 is nice... better than a Nintendo Switch, but You cannot remove the controllers.  Does this matter to you?

Here are the Amazon.com offerings:
Nintendo Switch Lite - Turquoise - Amazon.com

Nintendo Switch Lite - Yellow - Amazon.com

Nintendo Switch Lite - Gray - Amazon.com


I really dig the yellow color.  I'm curious how it translates color wise in person. 

Which colors do you like the best?  Are you interested in the Switch Lite?  If so, why?  Post it up!

How many of you are looking into buying this?  I'm highly thinking of picking it up?   Pre-order link is linked above for ease if you wish to pre-order.

HOLD UP.. I never played the 1st one yet!  Come on Nintendo.  What is this... Call of Duty?!  lol.

It is however welcome.  Bring it on!  Good news @Bomber Man   We definitely didn't have enough E3 coverage here.

@retro junkie yeah... it's definitely worth it... Especially for the Trials of Mana in English.

@targetrasp What have you been playing through on this so far??

oh man.... Starfox... and several other games have been a BIG draw.   The SNES Addition easily makes the online fee worth it.

What are you all playing through right now?   Demons Crest... never played through it.  EDF however, I've played quite a bit.   CAN WE GET A LITTLE UN SQUADRON LOVE!??!

@AngelBob @retro junkie  We finally have this game updated.   It would be cool to get everyone to someone's town... or do town visits here and there.

Did you all play yet?

@retro junkie and @targetrasp  - Gate of Thunder.... maybe they'll make a Duo Mini next?   That was a great game.  Also Lords of Thunder.

yeah... Splatterhouse was on the TG16 as well.  I don't know if it was as good as the FM Towns Marty version or not.   Unfortunately, my FM Towns Marty experience was a bit limited.

@targetrasp yeah... me too.  I'm questioning whether it will really help (after watching the video posted by @CreepinDeth ).   Their logic on how this works is spot on and you're still playing with the underlying hardware.

@targetrasp mine arrives tomorrow.

@retro junkie - would you be interested in the Switch release like this?  I'm notoriously a sucker for collections like this.

Looks like more Studio Drama:

Sony Addresses Drama With Disney Over Spider-Man Rights and Departure from Marvel Cinematic Universe - msn.com ET

I figured this would happen again and there would be another rift.  It was amazing some of these studios were coming and working together as long as they did.  Looks like that may be coming to an end.

The claims of both studios are interesting... I wonder what it is... time, money, or both?  Here's to hope they can work it out and re-unite.  I think everyone wins... and hopefully both companies can do it for the better of the story lines and movies.

Thoughts? Comments?   Post it up!

There are 4 new PlayStation controllers coming out :

Electric Purple, Red Camouflage, Titanium Blue, and Rose Gold DS4.  There is also a Gold Headset coming out.

Linky:  https://blog.us.playstation.com/2019/08/15/four-new-dualshock-4-wireless-controller-colors-new-gold-headset-design-coming-this-fall/

I'm a sucker for extra controllers ... I'm generally replacing my main every 2 years as well.  Anyone else looking at these?  What are you favorite colors so far.
