As much as I'd love to post in this thread with my new gaming purchases - I barely make any these days. I've not even got the time to play the games I do have!
I'm slightly jealous of you lot posting images of all your new shinys!!!
Nothing fancy just a halloween set of joycons, my left half of my neon red & blue pairs have finally started to drift think next payday gonna have to cough up for a few more replacement sets. Thankfully the neon yellows havent drifted yet as those are now really pricy, need to learn how to fix joycons at some point. To be fair they have gone though several thousand of hours playtime surprised they have lasted for as long as they did.
Picked that up today on switch, feel it's not fair to just class it as another retro game compilation like a few reviews have it's way more than that, i'd class it more as an interactive museum where you can also try some of the games out. The amount of work they have put in sets the bar on what retro collections should try to do. While i'd have loved to see more games in the collection i'm kind of spoilt as 10 mins away is arcade club where you can play hundreds of classics including pretty much everything atari had. I bought this more for the museum history side, it's really slick.
Bonus points that they made sure to try and give a decent replication of the originals with the actually non **** scanlines and bezel borders are a great touch as is the vector glow while no tv can really replicate that insanely bright intense glow of a real vector monitor it's a nice attempt.
(edit) there's 5 mysterious confidential files in the museum you can unlock by completing certain tasks they give you a hint in each of them to figure out what game & what you have to do to make these unlock, managed to get one to unlock by
Wanted the collectors edition of a short hike for a while but i didn't have the cash at the time and it sold out stupidly fast no way i was gonna pay the prices on ebay from people scalping the hell out of it. Seems the stock SRG held back for replacements and damaged copies in the post got released for sale so i managed to grab one of the last handful they had left so pleased to have this one as it's got some nice things in it.
A visitors guidebook to all the features of the island, even comes with a pocket full of stickers in the back to fill in the circles as you find birds ect...
2 proper quality maps to the island they both have proper covers glued to them like real maps have.
The actual game plus a soundtrack
Plus some other nice bits in the final layer of the box an enamel pin a full set of SRG's usual trading cards and some really pretty postcards
