I believe @Jack said this was a pretty good game.

@MegaDrive20XX WWOOOTT  Welcome back Mega!  Glad to have you back on board!  I hear you... we need to catch up.  It's been awhile.

@retro junkie - It's live now!  After @targetrasp said he purchased, I checked the link and it's live.

I was checking out the Crash N' Sane Trilogy and Horizon.  Kingdom Hearts 3 looks like a great deal...  very good.  Dangit.. I might have to pick that up as well for $20.

@AngelBob lol... hey BTW... bomberman posted Animal Crossing Wild World in the Retro Section.  It's a really cool game... hard to believe it came out in 2005.

@retro junkie What in the world...  I tell you.   No love for the US market yet.

Hopefully this is coming soon.   I'm with @targetrasp on this one... I cannot wait for Blazing Lasers.   My Turbo Express died awhile back... I just haven't fixed it yet.  There are how to articles and I do stuff with electronics, but I would hate to screw it up 100%.  Another look into this needs to be done.

@MegaDrive20XX - Not sure you will see this... but are you looking forward to this as well?

lol @AngelBob Tubthumpin... that's pretty funny.   I Think that's the only song they really did lol.

@targetrasp no kidding... so much awesome riffage... I was learning this a bit on guitar.  I've got a couple parts almost down.   I was trying to get @Grindspine to listen to it... he would absolutely dig it.

If I remember right, there really weren't a ton of differences.  This is a pretty fun game... I think it's time to break it out again and play.

You know... I remember back many years... tons of people were asking for Mario Kart online.  Now we have it... and no board members are playing together lol.   It would be cool to start that up somehow.

The 2019 topic!   I ABSOLUTELY missed this one...  I Think it's the 1st time in 9-10 years I missed the Steam sale.   

However, what did you end up adding to your Steam Library?  Post it up!

This game is a lot of fun.  I was thinking of creating a topic on it.   I used to play in town with other board members as well - @MegaDrive20XX and a few others.  In fact, I still have characters that show me letters they sent lol.

I almost have everything complete and still play it here and there.  It took a bit to grow on me because I was used to the Gamecube version, however ... Wild World grew on me.  We still visit our towns every once in awhile ... fish, catch bugs, and try to run around smacking each other with our nets lol.

Does anyone else still play?

Yeah... for whatever reason, the Turbo Grafx-16 Mini still isn't available today.  Maybe they are delaying it or something lol... NOOOO

I will use this topic for the pre-order.  You can also use the Prime Day link in General in the Prime Day topic.

As of right now, I don't see the Pre-Order Link / product page for the Turbo Grafx-16 Mini.  There are Hori Controllers and other products out there.

• Hori Turbo Controller for Turbografx-16 Mini - Not Machine Specific - Amazon.com

• Hori AC Adapter for Turbografx-16 Mini - Not Machine Specific - Amazon.com

Release Date: March 19, 2020

I'm definitely pre-ordering tomorrow... I've dug many games on the Turbo Grafx and Duo.  It would be cool if they offered a Duo version in the future.

Well... tomorrow starts prime day.  I'm definitely checking out the deals.

I totally missed the Steam Summer Sales this year.  I think this may have been the 1st year in 9-10 years I missed it... studying this year.  Good news is, I passed my Linux cert lol.  ON to the next ones.


I'm still waiting on the Turbo Grafx-16 mini pre-order link to be live...  They have something out there... but no preorder yet.

@retro junkie @AngelBob  - Bomberman... Now that game is a blast.  No Pun Intended...  Even Bomberman R on the Switch is awesome.

My favorite is still Super Bomberman on the SNES... though the Switch and DS versions are fun.

Yeah... I'm pretty excited about this. Pre-ordering as well. I'll set up pre-order links if you guys want to use them.  You should also be able to use the standard prime day link I have setup.  Shameless plug to help the site 

A notification topic will go out tonight on Prime Day as well.

Blazing Lazers. I haven't played it since my Turbo Express bit it. I need to have the capacitors fixed.

@retro junkie I wonder if they didn't include Lords of Thunder and a few other Duo games because that was Duo and technically not Turbo Grafx 16.  MAYBE we will get one of those as well 

OK. We saw it last night. Yeah... it was really good

A couple crazy unexpected things happened as well. Man... you're right @CreepinDeth ... this guy nails Spider-Man's character. 

@retro junkie Oh man... the PC Engine does have Rondo!  Hopefully that'll work in the states.  The engine also has awesome shooters! @Grindspine

I'll put up pre-orders of this stuff shortly in 1 new thread. So far, only Hori controllers are available.

Oh mannnnnn!  So much want

Lol @targetrasp got his wish for Blazing Lazers (awesome game) and Military Madness (also awesome)

I'm pretty excited for this title.  It appears to be a re-imagined Link's Awakening.   I never did play much of the NES version... and I'm wondering if they're going to expand on it... or stick to the original story line.  I haven't reviewed a TON of the information out there yet.

It comes out September 20, 2019.

• As Link, explore a reimagined Koholint Island and collect instruments to awaken the Wind Fish to find a way home
• Explore numerous dungeons, riddled with tricks, traps, and enemies, including some from the Super Mario series
• Meet and interact with unique locals to get help on your adventure
• Listen to a reawakened soundtrack that helps bring life to Koholint Island
• Earn Chambers (Dungeon Rooms) and arrange them to complete objectives in the all-new Chamber Dungeon.

There's a cool Special Edition with a sweet art book... but It doesn't appear to be available at this time and not sure when it will be available for pre-order.  Hopefully it's not already sold out.  I'm a sucker for some of this stuff in the Zelda Realm. I
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening: Dreamer Edition - Nintendo Switch - Amazon.com

I think this will be a cool title... I have nearly all main release Zelda games (not CD-I titles)... and Breath of the Wild yet.  I might need to pick that up as well.

Thoughts?  Comments?  Post it up!

@targetrasp LOL... was that sacrilege to her?

Yeah... I think I am as well.  I really want to play these games.  I've wanted to finish a "Mana" game for awhile.  I have a couple of them for other systems and never finished them.

This version of iPad isn't as sleek as the Pro iPad... but those looking to get a good iPad for decent price, Amazon is having a sale on Apple iPads.  I noticed this in investment financial news... and this is an abnormal sale.  Normally Apple products don't go on sale.. and I haven't seen the sale at other stores. To be fair.. I'm not sure how Amazon is doing this and or Apple is allowing it. The financial investment site noted it was a bit bizarre too.

With that... if your kids need one for School, if you just want one... or are giving a gift.. this specific 128 GB iPad is $329... which is about $100 off.  The iPad pros are on sale as well if that floats your boat.   I highly recommend this version on a budget.  128GB is still plenty of storage for most everything you need to do... unless you are storing tons of videos or making tons of your own stop animation.  At that point, you would store those off site.   Either way, this is a solid piece... if you are looking for the functionality of an iPad.

you know @retro junkie ... I looked at your CGI leak image again... that's still hilarious.  I'm saving it for the future as well. 

@AngelBob lol.. toddler's favorite?   Man... they are pretty good at what they do.  I guess they have everyone from Toddlers to the elderly enjoying what they do.

@targetrasp @Grindspine did you listen to the song at the end where they are jamming out?  I'm sure it's a song they sell separately in the store... but it's pretty awesome.

lol... daddy shark...

Lol... shortly after I mentioned that... we found them on sale and bought them.  So... I've now seen Thor 1 and 2.  They were cool... not super significant.. but I liked them.

It's interesting they didn't use Natalie Portman more...

Oh man... good topic @CreepinDeth -  I CANNOT WAIT for this movie.  I think we are going to try to see it tomorrow... though I don't know at what time.

It's great that we have another Marvel movie after Endgame... though I'm wondering how that'll all fit together.  I haven't read up much on this movie for a reason lol.

Who else is looking forward to this movie?

yeah... still on my Wii U kick.  On one of @retro junkie 's threads, I posted the link to Amazon.com for Star Fox Zero + Star Fox Guard - Nintendo Wii U.  The price has dropped under $11 now... and I figure this price won't last a super long time.  I could be wrong.   This isn't my favorite Star Fox.  I still really like the flying only Star Fox games... but I give them credit for trying this out.

It's actually pretty fun.  Reviews don't give it justice and there seems to be a lot of hate for this game.  Whether you're a collector or gamer, you should think about getting this game brand new Sub $11... for the standard edition (not Player's Choice).  It includes Star Fox Guard that is something like Tower Defense... but I don't have a lot of play time in Guard.

If you have played this game... post up your experience with it.

I picked this up already.  The Mario Tennis games have always been fun in my opinion.  Has anyone else played the Wii U version?

I couldn't believe when I saw this game at $14 on Amazon while searching for other games... I figured I'd post this here as a topic of discussion and to let people know.  In the past, it was hard to find Mario Tennis for reduced pricing... and it's not the Player's Choice version.
