I got a wired Rock Candy controller to save on batteries and use for my PC. I'm a fan as well.

Waiting for Persona 5 to pull out the PS4 again...

I was going to pull it out for Helldivers then I learned I could just play that on Vita so in the box it stays.

Look who you quoted.

The man had the graded acrylic on his sealed Wii U graded.

This man buys 4 of every Wii U game so the open and the sealed copies will never be lonely.

This man coined the phrase Amiibo after Big Reg wanted to go with AWiiaboo.

This man is the father of every child on this forum.

The lack of worthwhile games is mind-boggling.
There are plenty of great games on the Xbox One and PS4. There just aren't many (any?) must-play exclusives yet.

If I didn't have a decent gaming PC, my PS4 would be getting all kinds of use. :lol:

... Okay fine.
I'm just giving you a hard time, but I am thinking of the games. Clean them when you get them and when you have a problem. You only need to use abrasive stuff (like metal polish or harsh scrubbers) if there's bad corrosion. Contact cleaner or alcohol with a vinyl eraser or a soft cloth is that that should be needed for the occasional clean. Breathing on them is bad, just think of all the moisture that gives you winter and things that lead to occasional bad breath. You don't want to be getting that all over the carts. :mrgreen:

Same.

I never had issues until Contra / Super C.
I use an older 360 pad on my PC. Having it suddenly move some direction other than the cardinal direction you're clearly pressing just one cardinal direction if using the D pad is maddening. I hook a different pad up if I'm not using analog sticks now.

lol I know, I know, and I do know how to take care of my games and make it a point not to blow on them.

Still, watching my actual 3 year channel my inner 3 year old was adorable.

Actual random gaming thought of the day... Why the @#$% am I collecting GB/C games? Everything I've played for it for my project so far has been barely decent at best... Dragon Warrior Monsters is putting me to sleep. Hopefully Revelations: The Demon Slayer will be better...

I don't buy 4! :oops:

AWiiaboo was pretty good. But Amiibo?? C'mon!

Yeah, that was the only potentially worthy exclusive I could think of.

That's what I was trying to get at. Hmm, the Witcher 3 at 1440, REDkit and enhancements out the wazoo OR blandPS4/Xbone version? I mean, if that's all I had that'd be cool. Never mind, I'd just avoid it. :P This isn't just about the Witcher 3. :lol:

...because they're great.

If you need a list of really fun GB/GBC games that still hold up really well, let me know.

Based on your other posts, I suspect that you would really like:

Dragon Warrior III (GBC)
Final Fantasy Adventure (GB)
Final Fantasy Legend (GB)
Final Fantasy Legend II (GB)
Final Fantasy Legend III (GB)
Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (GB/GBC)
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages (GBC)
Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons (GBC)
Lufia: The Legend Returns (GBC)

Moreover, no GB/GBC collection is complete without:

Donkey Kong (GB)
Kirby's Dream Land (GB)
Kirby's Dream Land 2 (GB)
Mario Golf (GBC)
Metal Gear Solid (GBC)
Operation C (GB)
Super Mario Land 2 (GB)
Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land (GB)
Toki Tori (GBC)
Wario Land 2 (GBC)
Wario Land 3 (GBC)

...among dozens and dozens more!
