what about handhelds
they've sold a fuckton of those nonstop since the gameboy

I think nintendo has the right idea with the switch being a handheld / console hybrid. But I think they should just go full tilt and go handheld only with a good VC and first party games.

>>3774472
that's what they're doing
it doesn't matter if the switch is too big for pocket size since most people aren't gonna play it outside their house anyways, or they can throw it in womans purse

I had this babysitter named Lisa when I was a little guy, she would watch my brother and I, take us to the park, put on some of our favorite morning TV shows, made us these peanut butter, raisin, and celery snacks she called ants on a log, and would let us play her NES, I remember BattleToads, and Trog! specifically.

Would be nice knowing what ever became of her. I'm sure she dropped us because my parents were awful, either that or she had some awful habits I never noticed. That always seems to be the way with my family.

I was at a friend's once, playing through super mario world, spent the last couple days of that summer at his house and enjoyed every moment.

KEK. If that's not enough to tell you as such, I don't know what is.

>>3774194
Nobody knows. The writing is a clusterfuck in that game.

No, not really. Kind of a douche.

Yes you should forget about trying to get into them. It's clearly not a genre that interests you.

Maybe check out an action rpg of some sort, but likely just move on and waste no more time.

Try Suikoden 2.

I use an emulator for anything that runs well enough on one, even more so if it's portable because I like playing games on the go. I keep hardware around for things that still emulate badly, like most Saturn games.

>>3773489
Emulators are easy to boot up if you don't have a lot of time to play games during the weekday. I think that makes it interesting to use them even if you got the original hardware.

If an LLE emulator exists with high compatability (higan, Mednafen etc), then I emulate on my PC (genesis and NES on my Wii on a CRT). In the case of N64 and 6th gen consoles, I use a flash cart for the former and all real games and hardware for the later.

I've only played the second one, Vengeance and thought it was really hard but very fun. It's a shame there hasn't been anything like it since, and no, that borefest Elite: Dangerous doesn't compete, especially with a name that dumb.

>>3773015
Loved Colony wars back in the day, recently replayed them and unfortunately they've aged like milk.

Before you complain, note that I've recently played Freespace 2 and Star Wars Tie fighter, which came out around the same kind of time (late 90s) and had a blast with them.

Get the third one, it found the happy balance between fun gameplay and difficulty.

That's why the newbs pronunce it "SIGA" to avoid any misunderstanding.
Unless you are a an elite gamer prick.

>>3773435
that's the Italian pronunciation though. The "Italian2english" pronunciation would be "see-gah"

>>3772540
I remember getting most of my info about new and upcoming games from magazines as a kid. We didn't get satellite tv til I was in 7th grade so there may have been TV commercials that I wasn't aware of too.

Magazines. Big name games would have commercials. In-store demos were also used a lot back then.

Also, boxes. Most of the games I got as a kid I picked out because I liked the box art.

>>3772540
You walk into the arcade full of familiar games and guaranteed fun and-
holy cow is that a new machine?

Doesn't it just change the sprites?

Reminder that romhacks are absolutely not worth playing if they are nothing more than graphic and/or layout hacks.

>>3772217
It's just a spritehack, nothing else.

3D is an arbitrary feature not worth rebuying a game for.
