Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: SHMUP Collection - Nintend...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 21, 2025, 09:36:07 AMI ended up pulling the trigger on this game... I'll create a topic on it at some point. It's fun... it's a shmup lol 
The price came down to $33-35... and it's been awhile since that happened. I wanted to pick it up before it was not available anymore.
@retro junkie Just a heads up, not sure if you're still interested. I know it's not as low as I wanted, but some of these games just aren't dropping anymore like they used to drop.

Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / The PlayStation Vita's Blue Li...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 21, 2025, 09:30:13 AMThe 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:

General Discussion / Nintendo's New Patients?
Last post by retro junkie - September 20, 2025, 10:51:33 AMWhat are your thoughts on Nintendo's New Patients in how they are going to effect the gaming industry?
I feel that it might impact the independent developers and stifle their creativity in certain ways. I think this has sent shock waves through the whole industry. I also feel that Nintendo has lost their way, not the same company that they used to be.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 19, 2025, 03:48:49 PM3 peat... I've been making progress on Angry Birds Star Wars on the Vita. I plan to play play the PS4 version as well lol. It might be a double platinum trophy situation. I haven't looked at all the trophies yet to make sure it's still possible. Hopefully that's the case!

General Discussion / Re: Superman 2025
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 17, 2025, 01:39:31 PMI see what you're saying @CreepinDeth - I wondered that about the humor as well. At the very least, it is noticeable. How could they not after Guardians of the Galaxy... That movie and reactions to that movie changed a lot moving forward. I will say... some movies after Guardians didn't take the humor though I'll say thing, Age of Ultron does not feel like the same director / humor as Avengers.
It would be very hard for me to pick which director of the Marvel movies I like better/best as I like most for many different reasons... except the Eternals lol.

General Discussion / Re: Game Subscriptions
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 17, 2025, 01:02:05 PM@CreepinDeth the MS Rewards thing is still going? Feeling De Ja Vu here... This used to be the program where you could use Bing search and earn real rewards such as Xbox Live (back in the day) ...etc?
I have drastically reduced subscriptions. Outside prime, Nintendo and PSN... I believe I have cancelled all other subscription services. Long story as to what caused the final cuts... but it's done. lol
I was curious though if other programs are worth it. The PSN (IMO) isn't really worth it anymore except for online play... Especially as they restructured the program.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 17, 2025, 12:44:21 PMInteresting... it looks like there are about 5-7 potential Block Buster releases and Stunt Racer 64 was initially one of them. It also looks like it was then saw a release.
I probably knew this forever ago... lol... I just don't remember these days.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: Evercade
Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 17, 2025, 12:36:44 PM@retro junkie That's awesome. R-Type is definitely worthy. So the tariffs are impacting these games and the ability to bring the into the US? Is this a reality right now or a "maybe not going to accept" orders from the US?

Last post by BLUEVOODU - September 17, 2025, 12:30:18 PMHey @retro junkie - we have not put this into action yet. I was hoping at least a couple people would chime in that the time specified would work.
@Jack @Mai Valentine @targetrasp @CreepinDeth @mastermario @Grindspine --> Would this time work for you?
Also, What did you do Retro?! LOL... it looks like you spammed someone or did something nefarious You could always recreate an account. I need to re-implement the login integrations mod to include this new theme.
