It’s like Christmas at Jackie Chan’s house!
I think the most fun I’ve ever had with Gex is watching Dunkey’s videos making fun of it lol
It’s a fun game with some nice visuals but for whatever reason I lose interest fairly quickly. Like it’s a nice little Saturday afternoon game - I’ll have some fun with it and then move on to the next thing. Worth the $5 or so it goes on sale for quite frequently
If you’re feeling confident to open it up you could try loosening the screws a little that hold the board to the shell on the Dpad side too. I’ve had to open mine quite a bit to get it right lol
So I had this problem on my modded GBA, my solution was to ever so slightly loosen the screws on the dpad side of the shell. Turned out I was over tightening them
Yup you nailed it, think classic top down Zelda but with more fast paced bump combat/hack n slash combat depending on which game you’re playing, and less puzzles. Don’t be ashamed to use a walkthrough for Ys 1 and 2 as they are originally made in the late 80s/early 90s and have some obscure elements to them (find a boss before getting x item and you will get one shotted/ won’t be able to damage him, etc)
Check out the Ys series on PSP and Vita, they are some of the best games I’ve played through on my Vita. Digitalemelas.com has a lot of really good info on it.
Also obligatory Persona 4 Golden
Yeah he’s one of my favorites, I think he had a pretty rough year last year and you could see it in his content but it seems like things have been better for him lately - his Japan videos are really cool.
The Retro Future made a hilarious parody of those videos, I think he was pretty fed up with them
Steam but mainly because I have a steam deck so ease of use.
If durability is a concern with the switch I’d definitely recommend you play docked with a pro controller or 8bitdo controller as your joycons will start to drift - happened to me about 1.5 to 2 years into owning mine.
I haven’t owned a PlayStation since PS3 but it sounds like PS5 is a solid choice for you
Just want to drop this excellent resource here on everything Ys: https://www.digitalemelas.com
Ys 8 is a great entry point which got me hooked on the series. Each game is self-contained, however Ys 9 does reference previous games more as an easter egg/fan service than actually affecting enjoyment of the story.
Same, I’ve been dabbling in these handhelds for about a year or so now and I always tend to go right back to the Vita, it’s such a solid device.
I run AmberELEC on my 351V and have a Miyoo Mini+,I just really like how OnionOS boots you straight to your game and I use the game switcher a lot on the MM+. AmberELEC is good for tinkering but I guess I just like the simplicity of Onion OS for quick pick up and play sessions.
Yup Lemmy rotated my pic lol. I rarely use rumble but that’s because I mainly use mine for 16 bit and below. Hopefully you get it sorted out!
Wow I’m seeing the Stadia bundles on eBay with the Chromecast for like $25-35 too, that’s hard to resist
I’m playing it right now, it’s pretty fun! Playing on the Miyoo Mini+, having turbo and fast forward is a huge plus for battles.
I remember the one with gorillas throwing explosive bananas at each other
SNESDrunk and Summoning Salt come to mind!
Cool, I guess I should have clarified that most I’d be doing is throwing it into a backpack if anything.
Pretty glad I skipped the current gen consoles - my last one was an Xbox one S. Still have it around to play DVDs and blu ray lol. Steam deck has been the best gaming purchase and I don’t see myself going back.
