@CreepinDeth alright... that's pretty cool then!  hm... that makes it a lot better in my opinion.  These games are all about the experience gaming with friends - in my opinion.

@retro junkie - I've seen some potential images so far... but not the real deal for the Neo Geo Mini.

Here's the official SNK Corp website (I keep forgetting they are no longer SNK Playmore):
The NEOGEO mini - a video game console celebrating the 40th Anniversary of SNK's brand is announced! 40 legendary NEOGEO titles will be included! - snk-corp.co.jp

@targetrasp lol... nothing is wrong in reality.   Google pretty much owns the world.   

I noticed this today:
Flashback 25th Anniversary Collector's Edition - Nintendo Switch - amazon.com

I liked this game when I 1st played it many years ago.  I'm pumped for the re-release... thought it's $40.   @targetrasp ... this one isn't showing up with the pre-order discount with prime either.

What I like about this... there is a limited edition numbered metal cartridge, a retro styled metal case... and other stuff.  This looks like a pretty legit limited release.

Image from the amazon.com listing:


@retro junkie Did you ever play this?


Anyone else excited for this release?


Thoughts? comments?  Post it up!

Lol!  Tmi @Kinikko lol.  I totally missed the ripping stomach up comment. 

Healthy eating is hard to start but once you do... you feel like crap if you ever go back.

Brats tonight.

drinking water LOL... had meatloaf earlier.

Jurrasic World Evolution.  Nuff said.

@Kinikko and @Strubes ... I second that... I didn't see this before... hmmmmm.  It's now on the radar.

@Jack and strobe... why will spider-man be sick?

@mastermario yeah... it's just kind of weird.  For some reason, Doritos and Mt Dew aren't weird.... lol... but Nissin Noodle Cups are.  But why should the be?  I guess it's a double standard.

@Kinikko I wonder if they taste better than the game? lol 

How's the UI? My biggest complaint about android devices are their UI. Amazon puts such a shell on top of android it's hard to call it android. Samsung has straightened up a lot, but it still can't touch Apple. If my kids use my phone on a car trip or something I have to spend 10 minutes reorganizing it. there will be apps scattered out all over the place. i'll have to slide three screens left to find my gmail app and two screens right to find the internet browser. I find Bixby completely useless and sliding down from the top does two different things depending on how you slide, which the phone (or my fingers) sometimes has a hard time determining which its trying to do.

@targetrasp in my opinion ... the UI is pretty good.  Apple has better on screen typing in my opinion... but This works.   The apps are scattered a bit like an Android always is... but I organize all my stuff... so that works out.   I had to organize my apple stuff as well.

I'd rather not give Google more business which is why I try to use other manufacturers.  But... I hear their devices are pretty good.   

The motion has pretty good ratings... if you have a moment to check it out... check it

yup, Parker played it until he got hooked on fortnite. It's rarely seen play since and I've yet to pick it up

@targetrasp we should play that multiplayer at some point.  give it a shot!  it's a lot of fun.

Lmao, that guy DOES make Tingle look normal.

so no one remembers this commercial?

Lol @Jack that comment still makes me laugh. Funny stuff...

Personally I would rather they design their AVS controller as the system with the games built in and from there TV hook up. That was what I was originally hoping for. I am not sure, but I am thinking that the cabinet design might not be practical for long plays unless you are setting at the dining table.

@retro junkie I like the concept idea you mentioned.  Make a solid awesome controller and do it all from there.


How would multiplayer work in either case?

That does look pretty cool. Good find @CreepinDeth !

@targetrasp do you have splatoon 2 yet?

@retro junkie that's pretty cool - I wasn't sure how some of those skins would work out. But it looks pretty good!

Dissidia Nissan Cup Noodles .... What?!  Video game noodles???

Lol anyone see these?

My question is... do they eat noodles in the game or what is the draw of noodles and video games?


Thoughts? Comments?  Post it up!

@lamer (kirby) that's your choice. You can use whatever name you want. Just say the word and I'll get it changed for you.

I took the switch out when I knew I was going to be sitting in an office waiting and the stupid thing seemed too big for mobile gaming but too small to play Zelda Breath of the Wild... I don't know about this thing being the next evolution in handheld gaming

@targetrasp I don't know man... I see what you are saying.  At 1st... I had the initial though of that.  But once it sank in... it felt like the next evolution in gaming and the route gaming COULD go.   Mario and Zelda... I see how you could say that... but I really got used to that initial thought... and it works well for me.  Games like Bomberman, Splatoon 2, and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle worked great / translated well to the smaller format.  Those 3 games worked well on the bigger screen as well - So they covered both formats.


@retro junkie - on your pink GBA SP... is that a sticker or cover?  Or is that a special edition SP?

Believe it or not... I'm rocking the Black Berry Motion Android as I highlighted in this topic:
BlackBerry Motion - Smart Phone Review

I've never been a big fan of Android... but I like this phone.   It has all the BlackBerry productivity tools (yeah... I'm business oriented) which is some of the best... and it's on the Android Platform.  I recommend this phone.  For the price it's great.  It's not the most powerful Android out there but it's powerful  enough and is super useful.

I also carry an iPhone 7 for work.

Can you still request facebook friends for more candy and extra stuff? That also turned me off a bit. Kept getting so many notifications and all candy crush requests.

LOL... I don't know?  @mastermario do you know?

That's pretty funny.   UGH... I remember when Facebook would have all the Farmville requests... and "Tim needs 5 Fairy Dust... Can you give Fairy Dust to Tim?"   NO!!!! I don't have that game!

@Mai Valentine What is Animal Crossing Pocket Camp?  I cannot believe I haven't heard of this Animal Crossing game.

@Strubes
Ah man... anything Mario Party.  Anything Bomberman... my favorite is Super Bomberman on the SNES... though Super Bomberman R is a pretty fun game as well.  Bomberman 64... LOL... where you could throw your friends off the ledge in the grassy level.   

New Super Mario Bros Wii made a GREAT Couch Coop game... if you didn't kill everyone in the room by the end of the night lol.

@lamer (kirby)  It's definitely good to have you back.

It's cool to have everyone coming back and I know it's slower... but gaining new members.   As it is now, we are definitely ahead of where we were with the old site. I'll create a topic on this at some point... but if we keep it up and keep attracting new people and add some of the newer features, we will have a super solid thing going on.

@mastermario soo..... where have you been? LOL.. 


This can be for the 3DS... Cell / tablet... any portable device.  I'm looking to get more of these....

Nice @Kinikko Those are pretty cool and creative.

Excellent choice.

Back to the wings discussion, garlic parm rocks. I stopped really caring about BWW wings because they are generally hard and overcooked and they hardly put any sauce on them. Stop holding back dammit!

I actually prefer Hooter's wings and I just finished up some spicy garlic ones. Those things hurt the next day though.

@mastermario I don't know man... I order tradition (not bone in) all the time.  I also order all wings extra wet so I don't have that problem.  I even order Mango Habinero extra wet     lol.


Lasagna tonight...

I highly recommend an emulator then. It actually renders the games in higher resolutions rather than upscaling like the (S)NES Classic.

@CreepinDeth You know... it may be a cool topic to start explaining the difference.  If you do, setup some links and link back to this article as well - just a suggestion.  you don't have to

I agree @Jack   it would be cool to see HD versions.  But those may be better off on the switch with HD remaster.  Ie call it the 64 remastered collection. 


Then we could have hd, portable, and console versions on 1 console.

Then again... they probably would charge like $20+ per game. That would be the draw back. I probably would pay that for a remastered blast corps. 

Does there? Does there really? 

That's all I got, lol. I used to play it but it's a definitely a free to play game that wants you to purchase upgrades to keep going. There's only so much fun I can get out of that.

LOL... @CreepinDeth yes... yes there does! You are right... unless you win... they REALLY want to you pay to continue or to keep more of them gold bars 

@mastermario 1760... that's insane... I thought being at level 200ish was pretty far lol.  I don't play that much at all... just here and there.

@Kinikko I've not looked into Pokémon Shuffle... hm... maybe we need a Pokémon Shuffle topic 

yeah... it's a blast @targetrasp you should give it a shot as well.

@Jack Did you get a chance to play?

My son won the Infinity Gauntlet mode twice.... but they recently took the mode down.   I really wish the mode was still available.   It was legit.

@BLUEVOODU I've never recommended a game more in my life. It is absolutely worth the full price, I don't think the game will go down anytime soon.

Thanks @Jack - sigh... I probably won't be buying a lot in the next few months... I'll need to look at this in the near future.  This is high up on the buy list now. 

ok... Here's the BV list    Not in any particular order


Blastcorps
Majoras Mask
Sin and Punishment
Ocarina of Time
Mario 64
Snowboard Kids
PerfectDark
Goldeneye
Mario Kart 64
Banjo-Kazooie

VERY CLOSE to the list:
Wave Race 64
Tetrisphere
Bomberman 64
Pilot Wings 64
Didi Kong Racing
Turok 1 and 2
Star Wars - Shadows of the Empire
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

It's hard to make a list because my top 10 sometimes changes with mood and circumstance as well

buy it. backlog it.

@targetrasp  I don't have an Xbone... and I doubt I can get myself to buy one .... especially right now.
