• Gunstar Heroes

• Castlevania: Bloodlines
• Contra: Hard Corps
• Shining in the Darkness
• Shining Force
• Shining Force II
• M.U.S.H.A.
• Adventures of Batman & Robin

Making this list makes me realize just how neglected my Genesis collection is.

Off Topic / Re: What TV/Netflix show are you currently watching? (Megathread)

I've re-watched Bly Manor.  That show is so perfectly crafted, easily Mike Flanagan's best work.  Also re-watched Midnight Mass, which is also excellent, right up until the final episode where it and everyone's intelligence falls right the fuck off a roof.  Those first 6 episodes though are so good, it really makes me sad it ended with such a poorly thought out "happy ending".  Watched the first episode of Midnight Club (Mike Flanagan's new thing) and it definitely has the Are You Afraid of the Dark? vibe going.  Wasn't terribly interested but it's Flanagan's work so I'll at least finish it.

Anyone else watching House of the Dragon? 

When it started I was really down on it.  Likely because I hated the last 4 seasons of GoT.  The farther it goes the the more I find myself really enjoying it.  I'm super worried about the next time jump though when the actresses will be replaced.

Harley Quinn season 3 is some of the best comic related media released in the last couple of years.  Terrific takes on multiple DC characters, although 3 seasons of this Clayface is wearing thin.  A terrific Batman story wedged in here.

I started season 1 and couldn't make it through.  Does it improve significantly? or is the show just not for me?

The Raid - The only movie other than Mad Max: Fury Road that might have a claim on best action movie since 2000.

If you haven't watched Dredd, I would implore you.  The Raid is what happens when your script (in this case, the script for Dredd) leaks online and other people (allegedly) make a different movie (The Raid) based on it.

Hardware and Tech / Re: Steam Deck is Glorious - Change my Mind

I just have zero interest in a handheld or console without physical media.

This uses all of the physical media.

I can dump my GC games to a USB drive with a Wii then drop them on the Deck.
I can use a Retron 5 to dump my NES/SNES/GB/GBC/GBA/GG/Genesis/SMS et cetera.
I can dump PS games to my desktop and then load them on my game drive and cart them around with my deck.

But if it's not your jam that's cool too   Leaves one for someone else in the queue.  Happy gaming!

Got mine last Thursday.  I've replayed Bastion.  I've played a bunch of Death Road to Canada.  I've finally started playing some of the PS1 games I missed out on as a kid.  Valkyrie Profile seems really good, only 2 hours in though.

Where can you pre-order BotW 2 and Metroid Prime 4 already?

General / Re: Cheapest game or console you ever bought?

I got my black Wii for $1.  No cords or peripherals, but can't beat $1. 

It was a bundle deal at a garage sale, stack of games and the console for $20.  I don't remember the games, but I know there was 19 of them and I was not impressed with the games themselves, but just about any pickup is worth a dollar.

Someone made some bad listings this morning or last night

https://vgcollect.com/item/144431 is a badly named https://vgcollect.com/item/17771

They did the same with the second game

https://vgcollect.com/item/144433 , https://vgcollect.com/item/17772

This person isn't even using the english name of the game.  >.<  Stuff like that bothers me.

I apparently messed up making this listing a while back.

Made a PS4 title instead of PSV, since I made this, a correct listing has been made, making this one not worth correcting and prime for deletion.
