Yeah it looks like a simulator more than a straight game.


Hmmm.... Have you hard restarted the system since you got the game? Some games have weird first launch issues like that.

Charging, playing while plugged in, updating, calibrating controllers, updating controllers, full shutdown and reboot, whole nine yards of troubleshooting. Delayed input compared to PC.

Also runs at half the framerate; related? :shrug:

If you just want to play NES games and don't care about portability, maybe. If you like the game lineup or don't mind modding it (super easy) to have the entire NES library, yes. If you don't like the game lineup and are unwilling to mod one, no.

If you do get an NES classic, get extension cords for your controls.

maybe I'm lucky that the web version of the eshop still looks like this for me:



Europe and Australia doesn't get it til the 27th cuz of different store schedules apparently if you're in that region.

And huh that's a shame about the input lag, hopefully it's something that can be patched away. There's a PS4 version too and I don't remember hearing anything like that about it

Porting devs are looking into it apparently so fingers crossed

I should not have played Diablo before bed last night. Ended up staying up until 3 and am paying for it today. I got my character up to level 26. Am I supposed to get him to 70 before the season ends? If so, what does that get me?

If you press uh like left on the dpad I think, you bring up the season journey, which is a series of challenges associated with the season split into 9 chapters. If you complete the first four chapters you get a set of class armor, which is normally kind of hard to get, plus a pet and a seasonal portrait frame. Getting to 70 is just one of the challenges in I think chapter 2, the first four chapters are mostly just about beating a bunch of bosses, upgrading your merchants, and then dipping your toes into the postgame, nothing too hard.

Just buy a Pi, I'm a big dummy and it took me like an hour tops to get RetroPie and all them sweet SNES games on it.

NES games are rear end these days tho, they're so archaic

Why buy a Pi when you can get an SNES Classic, mod it, install the same RetroArch emulator cores that RetroPie uses, and never shut the gently caress up about it?

Old games are bad. New games are good, until they become old, in which case they also become bad.

Almost feels like we need a site wide substitution for SNES Classic to be "SNES Classic IF YOURE A WUSS AND WONT GET A RASPBERRY PI :smug:" just to spare everyone the time and extra posts.

There are plenty of nes games that still hold up, especially from later in the system's lifespan
Castlevania III is still one of my favorites

Games from early in the NES's lifespan that were mostly arcade ports hold up well if you like competing for high scores, as do games from late in the lifespan like Kirby's Adventure and Mario 3. The games that don't hold up are the ones that came in between, where developers were making games that were less arcadey but padded for length by being bullshit instead of actually being interesting or having content.

Most of the NES puzzle games are fantastic. Tetris and Dr. Mario of course, Wario's Woods, Pipe Dream, all of the Lolo games, Solomon's Key and Fire 'n Ice, Kickle Cubicle, Mendel Palace, Klax, Qix, Puzznic, Yoshi and Yoshi's Cookie. All of those are still very playable.

If anyone's still doing challenger fights in Smash, the new patch massively nerfs them. I was kind of disappointed when I got on today and didn't have to work hard to earn all these dudes that had been crushing me 3-4 times in a row.

I'm experiencing the opposite, where after the patch the challenger fights are now curb stomping me even harder now. Shulk destroyed me before I could even get a hit in, it's loving ridiculous.

Ok, thanks. I guess I get this stuff once the season ends? Sorry for all the Diablo questions, if I should move this into the Diablo thread let me know.
