Playasia listing suggest this for Elden Ring: Tarnished edition (not 100% confirmed). This will be labeled on the box at the bottom   Game key cards are NOT tied to a specific account (despite some reports to the contrary) https://www.theverge.com/news/644803/nintendo-switch-2-game-key-cards-trade-borrow-resell Possibly comparable to CD-ROMs in PC gaming when they were still relevant.  (Data was written to hard drive during install, but disc still needed to boot.   A cost cutting measure? Is this why Mario kart world is extra expensive The Biggest disadvantage: Downloads not always available.   Switch 2 Upgrade games such as Metroid Prime 4 will also require a download, even if the switch 2 version is purchased.   Gamecube NSO Day 1: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker F-Zero GX Soul Calibur II Available Later Super Mario Sunshine Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness Super Mario Strikers Chibi-Robo Luigi's Mansion Pokémon Colosseum   NSO Wishlist: Per Presto's Question: Sam: Odama, Custom Robo, Warioware Inc., Viewtiful Joe 1 & 2, Star Fox Assault, Dokapon The World Community Couch Datfast (John) — 4/3/2025 9:38 AM @everyone we will having a Switch 2 conversation on the next episode!   We are going to try to focus more on the Retro side of things but you know we won't be able to help ourselves lol.    If you have any questions or just want to share your thoughts on the direct, tell us here and we will discuss them!   Thanks   Drex1981 — 4/3/2025 9:48 AM When I first saw the announcement trailer in January. I immediately thought to myself this looks like what a switch pro was going to be. However I was curious and looking forward to the direct and after seeing the direct, this doesnt feel like a new console to me. It basically feel like the Switch Pro. For 499 bucks? And 80 bucks per game. I'm going to wait or just buy a steam deck.   Eric Plunk — 4/3/2025 9:50 AM I want to see a TV dinner style tray to use the mouse function on with interchangeable tray tops. Bonus points if they have one that looks like the SNES mouse pad   DoubleD — 4/3/2025 10:51 AM For me, this is exactly what I wanted for the next Nintendo console. This direct was a complete 180 from the previous one, where the only thing that really got me hyped was Metroid Prime 4. I'm 100% on board with being an early adopter for this, whereas, I wasn't when the original Switch was announced. They're truly making a version of the Switch that I always wanted. Not only that, but they also announced games that I'm excited for, which seals the deal that it's going to be a day 1 purchase. I didn't expect it, but the game I am most excited for is DK Bananza! Also, with my kids getting older and moving out, I love the integrated video chat and screen sharing options. I still won't get the higher tier of NSO though, so I'll just keep playing Gamecube games on my Gamecube, but I love that they added it.   SNES_is_Life — 4/3/2025 10:53 AM DK looks great for sure.   txTrey — 4/3/2025 11:29 AM My kids are still younger, but my third thought about that chat stuff was that I could do it with them when they move out or go to college. I still have probably one more Nintendo console release before that happens, so hopefully it carries forward    ChrisHL94

What are your opinions on console iterations? Do you prefer the model of console iteration that we usually get from Nintendo (sometging new and different) or prefer the PS/Xbox (Same but more powerful) route. Also do you like mid generation iterations like pro models or do you usually skip those. Maybe you wait for the pro model lol. Let's us know and we will discuss this on the next show!   5 Ri Sol-ju — 1/24/2025 10:11 AM I prefer mind gen iterations like PS Xbox but I generally get the iterations if there is an improvement on battery or screen. The only one I didn't get was the Steam Deck OLED because it was just a sunk cost of 900 after selling the original, I guess cost also factors in. I usually get everything at launch if available   @Datfast (John) @everyone it's time to dust off the old community couch!   What are your opinions on console iterations?   Do you prefer the model of console iteration that we usually get from Nintendo (sometging new and different)  or prefer the PS/Xbox (Same but more powerful) route.   Also do you like mid generation iterations like pro models or do you usually skip those.   Maybe you wait for the pro model lol.   Let's us know and we will discuss this on the next show! Solo — 1/24/2025 10:16 AM Considering how hugely successful the Switch was I am hearing people say Nintendo played it safe and smart with this new console. I don't see that as a bad thing at all as I feel if it is not broke don't try to fix it. The Switch is being modeled by other companies and to have an entry that is more powerful will be great. Would rather have something that brings more games to play better and more 3rd party releases than the next whimsical features they May or may not stick. Can't help but think back to all the comments of the MK1 pics of people saying “but Nintendo fans say graphics don't matter.” Drex1981 — 1/24/2025 10:17 AM The only iteration I was interested in was the DS Lite. That was a massive step up over the regular DS. I could care less about the PS4 pro or PS5 pro. My OG switch is serving me just fine.   @Datfast (John) @everyone it's time to dust off the old community couch!   What are your opinions on console iterations?   Do you prefer the model of console iteration that we usually get from Nintendo (sometging new and different)  or prefer the PS/Xbox (Same but more powerful) route.   Also do you like mid generation iterations like pro models or do you usually skip those.   Maybe you wait for the pro model lol.   Let's us know and we will discuss this on the next show! Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — 1/24/2025 3:19 PM I kinda just don't really take notice of them DoubleD — 1/24/2025 3:19 PM I definitely get more excited about Nintendo console iterations, but will also always get the next PlayStation console as well, just because that's where the new games are going to be. I will say that I actually delayed my purchase of the PS5 for a while, because initially there weren't many games that I was interested in that weren't also available on the PS4. Regarding mid gen iterations, it's all about the bang for the buck. When the PS4 Pro came out, I was upgrading my TV to a 4K one, so I was motivated to upgrade to the Pro as well to get the most out of the TV, and was very happy with the decision. I also got a Switch lite during the pandemic because my wife was hogging my Switch with Animal Crossing, but now it's just collecting dust. I never got an OLED Switch, because I primarily play it docked.   @Datfast (John) @everyone it's time to dust off the old community couch!   What are your opinions on console iterations?   Do you prefer the model of console iteration that we usually get from Nintendo (sometging new and different)  or prefer the PS/Xbox (Same but more powerful) route.   Also do you like mid generation iterations like pro models or do you usually skip those.   Maybe you wait for the pro model lol.   Let's us know and we will discuss this on the next show!

Do you go often? Running a convention Buying games/merch at cons Personal convention highlight/stories How can they improve? Community Couch All N Eric — Today at 1:16 PM Easily one of my favorite moments was when I got to film all these celebrities giving shoutouts back to my Army unit.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpXgLZkwd-s&pp=ygUUV2l6YXJkIGNvbiBzaG91dG91dHM%3D Wizard Con Shoutouts Eric Plunk — Today at 1:23 PM I got to be part of the Nintendo Dads panel to talk about retro gaming at the con in my home town. And by panel I mean just me and Marty Estes  I was also introduced to the girl that voiced Ash from Pokemon. adam — Today at 1:23 PM i was going to origins game fair with my friends, and one of the features of the con was the ability to pitch a board game you designed to publishers with the intent of either getting advice or possibly being picked up by the publisher and have your board game sold.    my friend sam had been developing a game for awhile called ‘go for the krill' a whale themed trick taking card game, and he was planning on pitching it at the convention. while we were in line to get tickets we struck up a conversation with the guy behind us we all hit it off, and it turns out he owned a board game company and he picked up my friends game and it's gonna be launched in the near future!  OctoRock_1982 — Today at 2:07 PM My favorite convention memory is getting to spending time with Dan, John and Trey.    DoubleD — Today at 2:35 PM A good friend and I took our sons to Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany (pictured is the FFXV wristband I still have from the event). It was such an amazing and over the top event, and while I was originally excited for myself, I quickly switched gears and I let my son take over and decide how we spent our time there. It was my first large gaming event like this, so I didn't realize how much time we would spend waiting in line though. My favorite thing there was the Tekken 7 booth, but it was bittersweet, because we waited in line for a while to play it, and then found out that my son was too young and they wouldn't let him play it even though I was his father. Very strange, but still a great experience overall. Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — Today at 2:36 PM I've only ever been to Anime Midwest, and that was more to chaperone my sister.  It was fun tho.  It was really surreal seeing a bunch of people dressed up in cosplay, and it was fun trying to see how many I recognized.  I got a picture with Pepsi Man.  We went to a few panels of varying quality, from a professional samurai to some people who just bought a ton of Kazoos.  We did Karaoke, and I sang Call Me Maybe, The Kirby Right Back At Ya Theme, Bye Bye Baby (Giants home run theme), Full Disclosure (Steven Universe), and Ya Got Trouble (Music Man).  Someone sang Escape from the City (SA2) and the Phineas and Ferb Theme Song.  It was a good time! txTrey — Today at 5:25 PM I took my son to CGF yesterday morning near opening time and he played a demo of a game called Ghost Ship Grannies.  The game is an RPG about a group of grannies who get shipwrecked and you have to find the other grannies and do RPG things.  Then when I obligatorily signed up for the email list after talking to the game's artist I saw 2 lines up on the sheet someone had signed up with the SAME FIRST.LAST@gmail.com address as my son's name!  It was the most coincidental moment that has happened to me at a convention.  That was the question, right?

Game Year Metacritic Console Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga 2003 90/100[24] GBA, NSO Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time 2005 86/100[25] DS, Wii U Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 2009 90/100[26] DS Mario & Luigi: Dream Team 2013 81/100[27] 3DS Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam 2015 76/100[28] 3DS Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions 2017 81/100[29] 3DS Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey 2018 84/100[30] 3DS The developer of the Mario & Luigi games began as a fledgling RPG house. Making both the japanese only Koto Battle: Tengai no Moribito for GBC and Tomato Adventure for GBA. In Tomato Adventure the player, as DeMille, a tomato-hater in the Ketchup Kingdom, fights his way from his outcast village to rescue his girlfriend. The in-game weapons are toy-like and the battles against opponents involve minigames. Some consider it to be the spiritual precursor to Mario & Luigi. Tetsuo Mizuno, Square's second president, and Fujioka and Yoshihiko Maekawa, who were game directors at Square. The name AlphaDream, meaning the 'first dream', is a play on Final Fantasy, Square's most notable series. Alphadream was also notable for being the developer for the Hamtaro license and created several games using the IP. Specifically, the later games in the series, Rainbow Rescue and Ham Ham games, both of which featured minigames that served as a prototype for those featured in mario & luigi series. 44:52-48:00   On October 1, 2019, AlphaDream declared bankruptcy, citing sluggish revenues and high development costs, and being unable to keep up with growing debt (which as of March 2018 was over ¥465 million) Many of the staff were scooped up Monolithsoft, ILCA, and Nintendo. Community Couch SpiderShan — Today at 6:17 PM @everyone a little late notice but we will be talking about the Mario & Luigi games tonight for the next episode of RetroLogic. We'd love to hear about your experiences with the series?  What games have you played?  What are your favorites in the series? Just being Bruce — Today at 6:50 PM Oh sorry guys, but I can't leave any messages for you about that because I'm concentrating on the Oilers winning all the way!!!!!!!!! Your Wallet's Defense Attorney — Today at 7:08 PM The Mario & Luigi games are my childhood Mario RPGs.  I had Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story as a kid.  I view the series as an underrated classic.  I own and have played the core four games, but I only beat PiT and BiS.  I almost got to the end in Superstar Saga, tho.  I haven't played Paper Jam.  I think my favorite is absolutely Bowser's Inside Story. Eric Plunk — Today at 8:07 PM I've only dabbled in the series but have played enough them to enjoy their comedic charm. Superstar Saga has a special place in my heart because it was the last Christmas gift I got from my Grandmother before she passed. Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!

(edited)   as a kid playing game was for nights and winter when it was raining but every time i had my friends over it was always a compitition to see who could get the best line or the highest score. I remember several weekends we would even carry our tvs to each others houses and have multiple games going at once. pizza tons of soda and nothing but laughs. bozo — Yesterday at 10:14 AM I was very late to the party with THPS - I only got into the series around 2016 as I was building up my OG Xbox library and had 2x/3/4 on hand to see what all the fuss was about. Going in, I was expecting it to be the kind of game that hasn't aged well; one whose reputation was heavily embellished by nostalgia for the era it represented.   Needless to say, I was very, very wrong. THPS totally holds up. And the gameplay mechanics on offer are not only ridiculously deep, but fluid and cohesive in a way few other games can match even today. Chaining tricks into manuals into ramps into reverts is an absolutely sublime gameplay loop that never gets old.   I'm always bothered whenever THPS gets lumped into the generic "Sports" categorization, when in reality it has way more in common with combo-oriented action games like Devil May Cry or Bayonetta than say, Madden. I think that's why it quickly became one of my all-time favorite series despite completely missing out on them when they were in the zeitgeist.   Oh yeah, and the soundtrack? It shreds. As a huge pop-punk fan I couldn't ask for more.   I'll never forgive Activision-Blizzard for shutting down Vicarious Visions and cancelling the THPS 3+4 remaster. 1+2 is arguably the best remaster ever made, and is easily the apex of the entire franchise, despite the moribund state the franchise was in for the previous 15 years.   Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!

While this softens the blow of the 360 marketplace's closure there are still a massive amount of games being left behind. Physical copies of these games will and in some cases already have seen an increase in value. Digital only games like Rush ‘N Attack Expatriot, Rez HD, Vigilante 8 Arcade, and all of the Arcade Kinect games will be largely left to time, piracy notwithstanding. Here's hoping that the recently rumored renewed focus on backwards compatibility from Microsoft comes to fruition.     - PS3 -While Sony had previously announced in 2021 that it was shutting down its PS3 digital storefront, the company reversed its decision after a backlash from fans. Both the PS3 servers and store remain in operation in 2024.   Thoughts -   Community Couch     JosiahP. — 04/22/2024 10:21 AM Super Mario Maker for the Wii u hit me hard- do you think that revival services like RiiConnect24 or PriiTendo are a good option for revival projects? Eric Plunk — 04/22/2024 10:40 AM I wish I had the foresight to download the Konami Rebirth series of games from WiiWare before the Wii Shop closed down. Every company should make a better effort to preserve and make these games available on future hardware.   adam — 04/22/2024 2:21 PM don't have a story to tell, but instead a meme to share! but it's wild to me that games like the crew can get delisted.   Presto — 04/22/2024 2:48 PM What's your favorite WiiWare game?   Mike Writes — 04/22/2024 4:09 PM Xbox 360 store is going offline in June.

I've beaten dread, fusion, and returns remake. Should I walk or run into playing super Metroid? Does it do anything better than the games that came after it? Or was it remarkable for being the first of the great Metroid games?   Dan - RetroLogic — 04/07/2024 5:29 PM I play it for the first time ever a few years ago and it's undoubtedly one of my favorite games of all time now.   BUT I didn't play it without some help. There are a few points in the game where what you need to do next is unintentionally opaque. I own the paper guide so I limited myself to that. But if you get stuck, just look it up.   The game is amazing and 100% worth playing.   OctoRock_1982 — 04/07/2024 6:05 PM As an adult with normal adult responsibilities, there are plenty of retro games that will give you a much more enjoyable experience using a guide when you don't have endless childhood summers and afternoons filled with nothing but free time to explore every single pixel of a game.   Solo — 04/07/2024 6:41 PM After coming off Metroid and many Summer afternoons firing your way thru an underground maze; do you feel Super Metroid in comparison was an easier game to finish since you had a working foundation now?

Interesting tidbits The series is weird about region exclusivity: ReBoot camp has yet to be confirmed for a release in japan Advance Wars (1) was delayed in japan (presumably as a result of the US war on terror, though not officially stated).(the US released coincidentally released just before on September 10, 2001)  It released 3 years later in 2004 as Game boy Wars advance 1 & 2, bundled with the second game. Famicom wars, Gameboy Wars 1-3 were of course Japan only Japan also only got Days of Ruin as an eshop exclusive, not physical.   Designer Kentaro Nishimura stated that the success of Advance Wars shifted NIntendo's attitude towards western tastes and without it Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade would never have been localized.   Reboot camp is not the first time Nintendo outsourced the series development to a third party: Game boy wars Turbo, 2, and 3 were developed by Hudson and Battalion Wars 1 and 2 by Kuju Entertainment.

Played the OG on Wii, it was my first Sonic game, and had good memories.    Bozo F-Zero GX comes to mind. When I first played it in 8th grade I couldn't understand how anyone could even reach the credits, Now after 100%-ing the game multiple times and beating all the staff ghosts, GX provides a catharsis and a sense of mastery that other racing games simply can't compete with. Everything else feels so pedestrian in comparison. It's gaming in its purest, most intense form and I love it. Octorock (Adam) Replaying games multiple times is a luxury that I haven't really had in a long time. The first exception to this is probably going to be Breath of the Wild which I just recently started a quick playthrough in anticipation of Tears for Fears coming out in May. Conversely, having just started playing Metroid Prime Remastered, I'm amazed at how much I actually remember considering I haven't played it in 20 years! SoloSomething Elden Ring currently playing a second time and will say opinion did change on this one.  The 1st play thru I got so frustrated multiple times I literally deleted the game off my PS5 because I was drained by the boss fights.  And now on my 2nd play it is my junk food game that I love to just jump and go raise Hell and see what trophy I can get.   Community Couch Two Dollar Hero Are there any games you actually never want to replay? I call these “big fish” games — I want them to stay rose tinted in my memory; I want to always remember the fish that I caught being massive and I don't want to revisit it and see that it actually wasn't. A good example of this for me is Journey. I'll never play that game again - I had my experience. Danverse Finale (or is it?)   Thanks for listening to the RetroLogic Podcast!
