People still shop at Best Buy?

The last time I set foot in there was also the last time I bought a physical compact disc of an album (The National, High Violet, for the record).

edit: I'm obviously not counting the dozens of CDs I've bought at shows directly from the bands since then

last time i went to a best buy was to use up a gift card somebody had given me to there.

ended up buying saints row 3 for pc.

nintendo never really got over the good old days when they had the industry by the throat and could blackball retailers for selling super mario bros 3 for 59.00 instead of 59.99

The Wii U still uses points, last I checked. My buddy was bitching about how you can't buy exactly enough points for a specific purchase, they designed it specifically to make sure you have some odd leftover amount wasting space.

the wii mode of the wii u uses points. the wii u eshop uses regular currency.

really at this point the NES and the SNES are just flukes.

The Wii outsold both the PS3 and the 360.

all of nintendo's portables, save the virtual boy, have been money-printing machines

Is it? For this price I can buy a more recent AAA game on a steam sale or just some decent mobile game. Do they sell remakes or just straight up ROMs you can play using their proprietary emulator?

depends, the virtual console games on there are just roms in a customized emulator, the "3d classics" are remakes that keep the original graphics but add saves and support the 3d screen.

the dreamcast had the best version of rush 2049 and the star wars pod racer game

plus segagaga was hilarious in the sense of "gently caress you guys for not believing in my GENIUS"

Mischief Makers was an amazing game that unfortunately was pretty much custom made for the N64 controller making it really hard to put on anything else.

it's also the one game to use the D-Pad and L button on the N64.

yeah 360 is 720p and it runs good. xbox is 1080 except when its 900 and if you break stealth the AI scripts cause the game to drop to the low 20's fps and the screen to tear if there are a lot of ai's at once.

i have tr2013 on my pc and it runs fine most of the time, but lara's hair causes the framerate to dip when it's on screen.

The irony being Final Fantasy VII's infamous development history with the N64. Cloud's only been in the spinoffs on Nintendo platforms. At least Twin Snakes [and uh the original(ish) Metal Gear and Ghost Babel) was a thing when Snake showed up.

Not that this isn't cool, just kinda funny.

the closest thing that the N64 got to a final fantasy game with this tech demo that was done on an SGI Onyx:

Tried playing spec ops and it's really not my cup of tea. This 3rd person shooter with chest-high walls mechanic does not work for me at all. I just could not finish the game, and I kind of wanted to see the ending but since the story so far is really bland, I don't know why I would want that.

what if the real villain... is you.

there i just saved you the effort.

my high school had laserdisc players in every classroom for some reason and they were pretty much never used (this was like 2001-2005 so dvd was definitely around by then)

i do know a lot of people who are snobs about laserdisc because it's the only way to watch the original versions of star wars (barring like a single out of print dvd release that came out in 2006)

also each disc only holds like 30 minutes of video (later ones could hold 60), so to watch a movie you had to flip and change the discs a poo poo ton of time.

but yeah in terms of quality it was better than vhs and according to some picture snobs i know, theoretically better than dvd if the dvd had poo poo for encoding (which a lot of the earliest dvds had)

Watching Star Wars on my rich friend's laser disc player in 94 was neat.

Or uh maybe just on Netflix too because this is 2015 people come on

it's going to be great in a few years when the home theater people start rallying around blu-ray as the peak of image quality because "my bitrates" as everybody else moves to streaming and away from physical media.
