Modern Video Games / Re: "Limited Run Games" is Producing Physical Copies of Games in Limited Quantities

« on: February 07, 2024, 12:04:30 am »

Got LRG's final 3DS release: Shante and the Pirate's Curse today. The cart still has Rising Star Games's logo on it when they released the game physically back in 2016. Also their name isn't on the bottom of the spine. Thought that was a little weird, but I'm just happy to have a physical copy of the game now.

Started Yakuza 0 and Mega Man Star Force 3: Red Joker. Never played a game from either of these series and have been enjoying both so far (finished chapter 1 in Yakuza 0 and a little over an hour into Star Force 3). Inspired by Jeff Gerstmann ranking NES games, I've been replaying all the Classic series Mega Man games I own in order of release and ranking them afterwards. Twenty-one games in and I'm feeling a bit burnt out, so Yakuza and Star Force are working as my break games.

Only Black Friday deals for games I got was Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe for $30 and Sonic Origins Plus for $20. I was tempted to get Breath of the Wild for $40, but I'm still hoping Nintendo will re-release some Switch games under the Nintendo Selects line at some point like they've done for previous consoles.

General / Re: Good Retro Gaming Youtube Channels

Civvie11- Mostly covers old PC first person games games

I Finished A Video Game- Has very long in depth retrospectives covering the history and quality of game franchises like Castlevania and Parasite Eve.

Jeremy Parish Video Works- Uploads weekly covering (usually in chronological order) the releases for a console. Currently he's covering NES games in NES Works, but has also series for other consoles like Game Boy, Virtual Boy, and SNES.

Kim Justice- A good variety of reviews, documentaries, best and worsts, and top 10...or 100 lists covering European retro gaming history.

Lute- Very chill and laid back videos covering games the creator is passionate about.

tangomushi- Covers retro horror games

ThorHighHeels- A little more unique, this channel mostly covers Japan only games along with their aesthetic and very weird obscure games no one really talks about.

Describing why I like something has never been by strong suit. I just thought these channels were good and a nice change from the norm of reviewing bad NES games, look at how bad Sonic 06 is, and a collector finding a hidden gem or rare game for a nickel.
