Last post by Mai Valentine - May 11, 2025, 05:28:36 PMI'll eventually get a Switch 2. Nintendo still has a few franchises that you just can't get anywhere else. But I can't fit it in the budget currently. I have enough games from current consoles that I haven't finished to keep me going for a few years at least.

Last post by Mai Valentine - May 11, 2025, 05:09:27 PMThe most recent binge was Frieren: Beyond Journey's End on Netflix. It's soooo good. I ended up buying the physical version so I can still watch it when I eventually cancel Netflix.

Last post by targetrasp - May 11, 2025, 01:32:22 AMyeah maybe if we get out of this multiverse phase things will start to work out. Its only seemed to have worked out for No way Home, the rest of the multiverse stuff fell flat.

Last post by retro junkie - May 07, 2025, 11:18:39 AMIt is amazing what they do. The game has all of the Pokemon that the game they are hacking the Pokemon Red into. They also have the story line to match also, even the cut scenes. Even though those cuts scenes are three-quarter view with the conversations, it gives you the feel of that game.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 07, 2025, 10:43:33 AM@retro junkie --> so it's a hack of Fire Red. I am not aware of this as much. How much do they change?
LOL... and you over ground your characters so they pummeled everything. That's pretty funny. Always keep a nerf

Last post by CreepinDeth - May 07, 2025, 12:23:49 AMI'm personally stoked for this movie. I've been coming around to it. It's not because it's a huge cast and they got the Russo Bros. back, but because this will be a reset for the MCU that is badly needed.
Even if the movie turns out meh, the movies that come after can have a cleaner slate and not have the phase 4 slop dragging them down. Can't wait.

General Discussion / Thunderbolts* - In Theaters!
Last post by BLUEVOODU - May 06, 2025, 05:45:32 PMWe just got out of the theaters for Marvel's newest move Thunderbolts*. In this movie, a band of misfits and loners get together. This movie features a few characters - namely Red Guardian, Winter Soldier, US Agent, Ghost and of course Black Widow (Yelena).
Spoiler - in case you have NOT seen the movie or previews:
^^^^ I think this was more tongue in cheek though.
This was a pretty good movie, it received great Reviews... and I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.
Has anyone else seen this movie? If so, what are your thoughts? If not, is it on your list?
Thoughts? Comments? post it up!

News / Leaks / Rumors / Re: Nintendo Switch 2
Last post by retro junkie - May 03, 2025, 11:55:15 AMThe "key-carts" kills any desire to have a Switch 2 for me. I like my physical games in my hands, complete. But I knew this was coming. Another thing, I have also had a very difficult time just trying to get into the Switch. It seemed such a step back in time to the days of the first GBA for me. There is so much about the features of the 3DS, or NEW 3DS, that I like and enjoy. And do we get a Switch 2 lite? The Switch lite is the only thing that pulled me into purchasing a Switch system.
And the price of admission is a big hindrance for someone like me on a fixed income. (like a kid with a paper route) One would have to weigh the pros and cons very seriously before pulling the trigger. The concern also is the price of the game plus the memory card needed to store your games doubles the empty spot in your wallet. Plus what parent is going to make the investment toward getting something like this for their child? They would have to be a hardcore gamer themselves. They would then understand the tech. What, you need a memory card too? Wait, you need to download the game also? Nintendo never relied on the parent being a gamer in the past. At least I don't think so. The price point really limits the marketing strategy, I would think. Who is the target gamer? Hardcore? Nintendo fanboy? The physical media (with the complete game) addicted crowd, like me, would shy away from this new idea of the digital world. But you are still tethered to a card, that if misplaced, no playing that game? That is downloaded to your console? Nintendo is going to need some killer games to push this thing and have any success. Of course that is just my opinion. I don't mean to be so negative. Nintendo needs a handheld that is a different console than the Switch which is budget priced. That would peak my interest. I miss those days................
edit: something else just popped into my head concerning the Switch 2,...................What is that odor?.....hmmm..... do I smell the Wii U here?

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Lunar 1 & 2 Nintendo Switch!!!
Last post by retro junkie - May 02, 2025, 11:26:55 AMThis came out of nowhere for me. I recently played through the GBA Lunar, again. I have both collectors editions of Lunar for the PS1. I had pulled out Lunar 1 thinking I wanted to play it again so I would have to get out my PS1 and hook it up. For some reason the PS 3 would not save this game even after I set it up for PS1 saves. Then out of the blue, I did not see this coming, they are going to release the Lunar series on the Switch? And this got me excited, I got up early on the release date, got it from Amazon. I was thinking, this will be one of those games if you don't get it now it will be at a hefty price in the future.
This game has gotten me into my Switch like no other game. Playing my Lunar, grinding, and enjoying.
Anyone else interested?
