What uh... What's happening with Rorie in this one?? Is he not someone who played much 64?

His questioning Brad about what this device does makes it sound like he thinks the N64 had HDMI?

@djredbat: Those converters are typically very low quality. If you're wanting to play an N64 in 2019 on a modern hdtv, I would assume you would want it to be pixel perfect, or as close to that as possible. There's a reason why things like the Super 64, RetroTink, and Framemeister cost as much as they do.

I have immense nostalgia for Pokemon Stadium's minigames. Like, i can still remember all of them and I have no idea why they're so burned into my brain.

There's also a distinct lack of Mario Party 64. Cowards!

@hippie_genocide: I was just giving a cheap alternative not something I would use personally hell I still own a tube tv for my old systems so they look just fine to me and if I want HD quality I just load Dolphin and would pay a lot for the things you mentioned I just cant see buying this thing for it to only work on 1 system

@nukleon:

That's unnecessarily rude. They aren't experts like Peter Brown or Jeff.

How were they able to switch out games without changing carts?

Rorie seems super annoyed to be on this stream.

I feel like Rorie would like Pokemon more if it was a Ubisoft shooter

The second PS2 Castlevania Curse of Darkness is very much Castlevania. It´s very similar in structure to the 2D GBA and DS games only it lacks any verticality or basically any feature that really takes advantage of it being in 3D. It feels very flat as a result, but has some of the same satisfaction as the 2D ones when it comes to the simple pleasures of getting new stuff or grinding to upgrade spells or whatever. It´s not terrible and, while not a high bar, it´s probably my favorite 3D Castlevania.

I never played Star Fox growing up but their continued appearences in Smash Bros has endeared them to me. I really wish that the franchise could get a cool new game, and boy did I try to like Star Fox Zero but that games writing was so incredibly run-of-the-mill and the gameplay was a mix of not that interesting, and overly annoying to control.

Aw man trashing Star Fox Assault. I really enjoyed the story because it made it felt more Space Opera-y but I the out of ship gameplay wasn't very great
