That is a 1 man show ... he was doing it all.  Pretty cool too.

It would be cool to do something video game related and music... to create covers and what not.  I know there's been several groups to do it (IE with Contra and many other songs).  That would just be fun to do.

Speaking of Contra... I had that down many years ago.   I have since forgot it lol.

Obviously we have the last 10 posts at the bottom of the forum right now... but there's also a link JUST ABOVE the [more stats] text in the information center.  This allows you to see all the posts newest to oldest.  This helps to see posts behind the last 10 posted.


I am working on developing a page that will list all the newest posts.  As I mentioned... I was going to call it community, or Recent replies... or something.  This will be in the links on the left side of the page.  I will be working on different views of topics in the future... and trying to manipulate how they are displayed - paving the way for the future of the site.  We'll see how it pans out.

Made Progress on:

Raiden V- PS4.   Completed stages 1 and 2 before I had to quit.

Speaking of Actraiser 1 Filmore level music in the IP comeback discussion....  Here is a pretty cool Actraiser Filemore Metal Remix:



It's done pretty well... impressed.  Grindspine and I should do more stuff like this.

More Actraiser 1 or 2? - I liked the God sim part, it added to the story - I was disappointed when Actraiser 2 came out without it.

TNMT was top of the list when I though beatemups

More of Actraiser 1 for sure.  Actraiser was alright... but didn't get me like Actraiser 1.  I absolutely remember this song too:



TMNT is still at the top of my list!   Turtles in Time was an awesome game.  It's been a long time since I played it... but We need a resurgence in games like this.  I never did get around to playing the newer TMNT games.  I've wondered how they are... definitely been tempted

This allows Facebook style notifications where if you're on board and someone posts, a info screen comes up that someone replied to your topic.

This MAY initial load all your replies at once and notify you about everything.   However, once that initial step happens, it should work find from there on out.  IE I had a ton of new replies at 1st... because it was reading the last 24-48 hours... I think it was.

LOL I almost tried it too!

It's just weird... I've tried to get the switch to make that satisfying sound again without luck.  will try some more... and yes, the sound is satisfying.

I am really starting to think about #2 (lolz...).  I think this solves several dilemmas.    If we start going down this route, we probably will end up like EGA a bit again.   But I'm leaning to start adding Sega, SNK (Neo Geo) and others.

Speaking of that, I'm diving head 1st into some development - I'd like to make a full game repository... amongst other features.   I'm starting to get more and more of a picture of where to progress the site.  While browsing Nintendolife, Gamefaqs, IGN, and several other sites...  the condensed board doesn't seem to work as well.  By condensed, I mean trying to cram several gaming systems into 1.  Though several other "articles and discussions" state super specific boards don't work either in this day and age. 


With this... I'm also leaning towards even creating boards for systems and all games.  Not sure about this yet... It's going to take some planning and thought... will be working on ideas this weekend.

With that... thoughts?  ideas? Suggestions?

that's the goal... I HATE ADS that slow browsing, cause browsers to crash, load slow and then reformat the page after the load.  Bad design... not good.

I plan to never use those types. 

Nope. They're yours as long as you claim them while they're free. I still have all of my games that I got while I still had Xbox Live.

They must've done that to 1-up Sony lol.... since Microsoft didn't have that feature right away but did it to compete with Sony.  Either way... It's cool they let you claim / keep them.   That is a pretty good 1-up

At the bottom of the forum will be a help area... as well as Suggestions / Comments / and Feedback board.

I would like to hear your suggestions and comments... and what you would like to see going forward.  It would also be cool to hear what you like too.

I've been thinking about the site design and looking at sites like NintendoLife, Gamefaqs, IGN, and other gaming forums.  Looking to potentially explode out some of the sections to be more granular - meaning 1 for 1 on systems.  Maybe even create boards for single games for discussions directly on those games.

Also looking to create a link on the left side called Recent Threads, Community, or something like that.  At the beginning... it will be a simple list of all the current discussions.  I hope to develop it to be able to track who has contributed, the ability to follow certain people... but these features will come as time permits.

Please post up your comments and thoughts here... it would be cool to hear your opinions of these "potential" directions.

Diablo 3 is Coming to Nintendo Switch - Eurogamer.net

I am a little pumped for this... don't care if it's a port.  If it supports online play on the go... I'm down.  I'm wondering how the Battle.net integration will be... either way... I am excited for this title.

Anyone else pumped for this?  Post it up!

Features:
•The Diablo III: Eternal Collection is an unparalleled action role-playing experience and contains Diablo III, the Reaper of Souls expansion set, and the Necromancer class together in one definitive volume.
•Rise as one of humanity's last defenders —Crusader, Barbarian, Witch Doctor, Demon Hunter, Monk, Wizard, or Necromancer—and level up with devastating powers and legendary loot.
•Lay waste to legions of evil throughout all five acts of the Diablo III storyline, or explore the open world in Adventure Mode to hunt bounties on the elder evils that lurk throughout the mortal realms.
•Take part in seasonal events and earn exclusive rewards including armor sets, companion pets, and other fiendishly cool goodies.


Update - I noticed the following on Amazon.com for Switch Exclusives:

•Includes Switch-exclusive bonus cosmetics, featuring a full intimidating armor transmog set befit for the King of All Evil, Ganondorf
•Play with up to 4 friends online, offline via local coop, or on a single console couch-coop style
•Supports all Switch controller configurations, including single and dual Joy-Con action

Diablo 3 - Nintendo Switch - Amazon.com


I'm pretty excited for this game.

gamestop - they acted like there wasn't going to be a big supply

I will have to try them. It's a bit concerning Amazon doesn't even have the pre-order link out there 10 days before launch.

I've prepaid mine already.

where at?  I cannot seem to pre-buy at amazon yet.   It says it's currently unavailable for the PS4 at least.  I might just try to pre-buy at Best Buy or something.

OK - I get it now.  I think I have the "Cobalt Blue Game Boy Advance SP."  I don't think mine had the "brighter screen."  It's still pretty nice though

Yeah... it was like the commercials.  For whatever reason, mine no longer makes the click sounds. 

Here is an article from polygon on it:
Nintendo Switch Click Sound Effect Joy Con - Polygon

I'll have to keep trying.... I'm pretty sure I heard it in Mario Odyssey.  I'll try that title again. I don't remember hearing it at the console level... or in Bomberman tonight.

Interesting, not sure how much bomberman fun I can have at 40 but if it went to 20 - maybe even 30...

Yeah... I ended up buying it last night.  It's a lot of fun and a lot like Super Bomberman - one of my favorites... if not my favorite.

This would be a great game for multiplayer gaming.   pretty addictive as well.  I don't get tired of Bomberman... though a lot of friends would.

Yeah... that sucks.

Have you heard if that will change with the pay to play online for the switch?  If they require pay for online... the least they should do is provide some of these features.

MM and I would play here and there back in the Gamecube days lol.  In fact, I still have the broadband adapter.

I wish this would be a thing because the switch would be a great system for it.

AH... yeah.. I see what you are saying.  So Microsoft has none of these issues?

I've never had these issues because I kept PS Plus current.  I just don't like the pay for play scheme.  It is cool we get games... but I don't feel the free games offered have been as good or top notch as of late.

@ Target... Not sure if tomorrow night will work... but let's try for Tuesday or Wednesday.  Let me know if either work for you.  We might be able to get Medatoah to join then.

I've never used discord but I use Slack. I think it's similar so I'll give it a shot.

I've never used slack... I will look into it as well.  DIscord works pretty well.   I Created a ChickenDinnerGaming Battle.net channel... Bnet had a pretty good system now... I dig how they do it.  But it's not as convenient for games outside blizzard.

I agree... Sony missed out on a BIG opportunity.  They had a great concept - and knocked it out of the park with the PSN integration... syncing trophies... and being able to have mobile friends / users lists.  Heck... I would do all my messaging from the Vita because it was 5x more convenient.


@ Target,... I honestly think that's the way consoles will be in the future.  Like the Switch Concept.  I called that about 5-7 years ago.  NOW... will it look exactly like it?  No... but I seriously think large consoles aren't long for the world... and companies are continually figuring out how to push more into less.   Graphics cards will be the hardest part - to keep up with consoles and high end GPU processing in a smaller package.

man I completely skipped over where you lobbed my Adam and Eve joke back at me, such a missed opportunity.

LOL

Hey... opportunities still exist.

I created new section at the bottom - Suggestions / Support / Help.  1st board:
Suggestions, Comments, and Feedback

I'm looking to do a little more with this section... IE a help board of some sort.  Will figure that out in the future.... wanted to get the suggestions, comments, and feedback out there 1st.

I'm starting to rethink some of the layout as well.  As it is... it doesn't give us a good way to expand like Nintendolife, IGN, GameFAQS and other message boards.


Just starting to rethink the consolidation right now... maybe we do need to explode some of the boards out.  I created a topic about the Neo Geo... but I'm not sure that's enough.     I'm going to write this brain crap out and see about coming up with something.  This is a great start... but may be too limited.

Thougts / suggestions... post it up.

You know exactly what I'm going to say 1st.....

I want the following
1.) UN Squadron 2 - Capcom ... please??  PLEASSEEEEE!!!!!???!
2.) Defense Grid 3  - I really liked 1 and 2.. would be down for a 3rd
3.) Super Mario RPG - Yes please
4.) Advanced Wars
5.) Double Dragon - in the old school way... would be cool
6.)  Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Old school as well.... Turtles in Time
7.)  Pulstar -  Need a sequel.
8.)  Actraiser - We NEED a sequel for this one.


My list can go on too... and probably will as we progress with this thread

Probably not as many as 10 years ago

yeah... it's a dilemma right now.  I'm thinking of creating some new categories / boards.  Just not sure yet.  I dig me Neo Geo though.

Ice cream n cake n cake....


Hamburgers tonight.  And salad. Yes, not the salad on the hamburgers ... we have lettuce too. But salad and burgers.

Lol yes.

I thought these were pretty good. Might look for different ones later. 

Thoughts? Keep looking or good to go?
