Holy poo poo that's a great list of games. If I could buy that package for the Switch I'd pay $80 for that.

Aw, my pre-order got cancelled due to the bullshit excuse. I think I ordered about 22min after they became available.

I didn't get the nowinstock alert until 2:15 am. So or course I missed it. What the hell did I do wrong?

Was it the text or the email alert? I got the text way before the email.

Anyone still see small local computer stores anywhere? I think they all died around here a few years ago.

I feel like any cleaning a roomba does is incidental to its primary function, which is to be a cute little robot that scoots around your home.

I'm really interested in playing Secret of Mana. I heard a lot of it got cut but it still ended up being pretty good?

One of the games I had on GBA was Sword of Mana, which was fun but I could never go for more than 5 minutes without getting stuck.

Secret of Mana is probably the best in the series just because the weapons and combat feel so satisfying. The later games always felt sluggish.

I dunno when and for what reason I bought this used wii classic controller but I'm sure glad I have it so I can reset from the couch.

After I bought my SNES Classic I decided to give it to my brother since he was unable to find one and I don't have much free time. I want to open that box and hook it up so bad.

The one I got went from "christmas present for sister" to "my sister will love playing this when she visits this weekend" pretty quick.

Bebe’s Kids (poor framerate)

You sure that's not just how that game is? It is famously lovely.

I think so, yea. The intro cutscenes are fine; the game itself then runs at like 10FPS. I don't want this poo poo! It's someone else's SNES Classic I'm gifting!

So it's somehow worse than this?

It would be an amazing crank to gift someone the SNES Mini with only a broken rom of Bebe's Kids on it and no other games.

Nah it would have to be 20+1 of the absolute worst games the SNES has to offer, the +1 being something not released commercially.

I tried the Brave New World patch and liked what it did for the gameplay but wasn't a fan of some of the dialog changes.

It's not FF6 if someone doesn't say "TunnelArmr!!"

SD3 is worth a shot but it isn't as good as SoM and i remember disliking the PS1 game when i rented it. Brave Fencer Musashi felt more like a worthy follow-up.

What do you all think are the best weapon combinations?

The only weapons I trusted was the sword, axe, fists. The other weapons seemed really hard to use and to get proper damage out of.

The whip is the best because of the range and huge hitbox. Sword/axe/spear are all good. Gloves are less good but fun and the boomerang has squirrly hit detection but otherwise okay. The bow and pole dart are just poo poo.

The best part of the gloves is sometimes you just bodyslam a dude.

Too iconic. It would be like ditching F-Zero or Super Ghouls & Ghosts, even if KDC is better than any of them.

I think it's extremely likely that Chrono Trigger was on Nintendo's wishlist when talking to Square-Enix, but FF6/Mana was the deal they could get.

Yeah, getting the rights for CT on top of what they already got probably would have added another $5-10 to the MSRP.

You make a lot of good points. I had the same experience with bosses. Spam hostile magic until it dies. I could never defeat a boss through skilled regular fighting because most boss special attacks are spells that can't be dodged.

I feel like the gigas-type bosses are generally the only ones with magic dangerous enough to just nuke down. Otherwise i prefer using weapons.
