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! SkinnyMatt — 1/24/2025 8:10 PM Meh. Whatever they want to do. It's their business. Speaking of model iterations, when does the Commodore 65 come out?

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.

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?

John Setka (born September 1964) is an Australian trade unionist. He is secretary of the Victorian-Tasmanian division of the Construction, Forestry, Maritime, and Energy Union which also administers the South Australian division under a temporary arrangement. He is a controversial figure in the Australian trade union movement. He is known for his strong support at a grassroots level, especially among the rank and file of the CFMMEU. His supporters regard him as a strong advocate against political, legal, and industrial opponents; the national secretary of the union, Christy Cain has called him one of the "most fair dinkum union people in this country". On the other hand, Setka's political opponents have derided him as a bully, and criticized his purported stance that it can be necessary to break the law to pursue union interests. He has also faced strong criticism for alleged public remarks on the topic of domestic violence, and a guilty plea for harassing his ex-wife via text, issues that contributed to his formal expulsion from the Australian Labor Party in 2019. In recent years Setka's personal life has been the subject of considerable media attention. His marital breakdown, and associated legal issues, have led to additional public criticism. John Setka was born to a Croatian family. His father was a labourer named Bob Setka, who survived the West Gate Bridge collapsein 1970, one of the worst industrial accidents caused by employer negligence in Victoria's history. Setka began working as a labourer at the age of 19. He began involvement with trade unionism first after joining the Builders Labourers Federation. He was mentored by state secretary John Cummins. Under John's leadership, media commentators have noted the "pervasive power of the CFMEU over construction companies". In 2012 he unsuccessfully attempted to sue the opposition leader Tony Abbott in defamation after Abbott called him a thug. In 2015, Setka encouraged workers within the Rail, Tram and Bus Union to strike during the Australian Football League finals to "use finals fever to their advantage in their bitter industrial fight with Metro Trains and Yarra Trams". The decision was criticised by Victorian Labor minister Jacinta Allan due to the strike's impact on businesses. Setka openly criticised the former prime minister Kevin Rudd in 2018. During a speech, he said: 'he's one of the worst fucking Labor PMs we've ever had ... (because) ... he kept the ABCC and coercive powers and he wants to talk about workers and the trade union movement.' Setka is known for his public condemnation of the ABCC and its staff. In 2017 he publicly threatened to target the home addresses of building watchdog inspectors and lobby local footy clubs so their "kids will be ashamed of who their parents are". These comments were controversial. On the other hand, he is regarded by many in the union movement, especially in the industrial left faction; to be a robust and genuine union activist. He has in the past had strong support from Luke Hilakari, among other prominent leaders in the trade union movement. In August 2022 a unanimous ballot at the South Australian branch of the CFMMEU brought about a co-operative administration arrangement between that branch, and the Victorian-Tasmanian division led by Setka. In 2015 Setka was arrested and forced to appear in court to face blackmail charges. On the day of his court appearance, around 2,000 CFMEU members and other unionists gathered outside the Melbourne Magistrates' Court on 8 December to show their support. Three years later, the Victorian prosecution office dropped the charges, a decision that the Magistrate Charles Rozecwajg described in court as 'very sensible. Setka spoke outside of court saying that he had been the victim of a witch hunt. He later sued a group of executives from the company Boral, successfully obtaining a settlement after alleging they conspired in the tort of malicious prosecution. Expulsion from Labor In June 2019 John attended a meeting of his union's national executive. It was reported by The Age that during that meeting, he made comments to the effect that the work of Rosie Batty had left men with fewer rights. Setka publicly denied that he made the comments. Following the reporting of these comments, the Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese proposed to expel Setka from the Labor Party. John publicly objected to this attempt at expulsion and claimed that there was "dirty politics at work". He made an implicit claim that he was the victim of a witch hunt, driven by his "view of where the union should be in regard to the ALP, and some people probably don't share that view". Reactions to John's behavior and his potential expulsion were mixed. The CFMEU Victoria branch (that he controlled) threatened to cut financial support to the ALP if he was expelled.  The NSW and WA branches also expressed their support. Numerous politicians, as well as the ACTU secretary Sally McManus called on John to step down. Additional pressure upon John arose after the Senate crossbencher Jacqui Lambie threatened political blackmail, making a demand that he steps down or she would vote for a bill strongly opposed by the union movement. This threat was made during a lunch invitation at her Tasmanian house. In the midst of these events, John pleaded guilty to using a carriage service to harass a person in the Melbourne magistrate's court. The victim was identified as his wife at the time, Emma Walters. Following this, more than a dozen individual unions, including the three biggest in the country, renewed their calls for Setka to step aside. Some factional allies of Setka, like the then head of the RTBU Luba Grigorovitch , maintained their support. In July, John applied for an injunction at the Victorian Supreme Court to stop the expulsion decision. He argued at court that the ALP national executive didn't have the legal power to expel him, and that it was instead a matter for the Victorian State party branch. The court decided in August 2019 that the motion to expel Mr. Setka was 'outside the court's jurisdiction', and that it 'could not interfere with internal decisions of voluntary unincorporated associations'. In October he commenced an appeal of this decision, before withdrawing. After its withdrawal, the ALP immediately expelled him.
