I am certainly willing to give it a try. I would think it should be games that actually try though - not just weird shovelware asset flip stuff ;)

Takeshi’s Challenge? It was made to be deliberately unfun and obtuse because Beat Takeshi thought video games were dumb, and it’s infamous as one of the worst games of all time.

I finished RE Village over the weekend, and so ends my Resident Evil summer. I had a fantastic time. I'll probably get to the games I missed at some point, but I just need a break I think.

Do I wanna play Devil May Cry (a sister series to RE, of course) or Bayonetta next?

Finally picked Metroid: Dread back up this weekend, along with starting a new Binding of Isaac save on Switch. Dread is really, really good and I'm disappointed with myself that I waited this long to pick it back up.

One of my favorite Giant Bomb shows is Game Tapes, where they just watch footage of old events and sometimes B-roll marketing reels gamespot was given back in the day

I was about to reply and couldn't figure out where the post button was and realized the thread was locked lol. This sounds like what I'm looking for so I'll look it up.

I also just remembered watching a making of video for Shenmue that had footage from when it was still a Saturn game. It was really cool to see how it wasn't far off from the Dreamcast version. Granted it ran at like, 15 fps, but it was still impressive.

It's pretty impressive how between the popular face button layouts, humanity has managed to put the same symbol in three of the four available spots. It's made jumping between emulators a bit tricky.

This is why PC gaming is the best you plug in a controller and it says "okay you have buttons 1 through 22" or whatever and there is no logic at all about which button is which number so you just go bind things and hope you get them right (you did not get them right) and instead of playing games you just spend your entire day in the keybinding menu.

Button mapping has actually gotten better since the last time I checked in. A number of the emulators now auto-bind to the obvious layout.

But the Wii got me curious about emulating the Wiimote (plenty of stuff requires it). Move controllers, which I have, apparently aren't easy to set up with Dolphin.

That's very true for regular controllers, less true for other control peripherals like wheels and flight sticks, though.

I was looking at wiki pedia’s top-selling video games of all time list, and learned some stuff

quote:

3 Tetris (EA)

EA being electronic arts of course

quote:

The game reached 100 million paid downloads by 2010,[1][2] making it the best-selling paid mobile game of all time, and third best-selling game of all time altogether.

quote:

In January 2020, EA announced that they would retire their mobile version of the game on April 21, 2020, and the game became unplayable after this date, even if the full version was purchased.[18]
