I didn't grow up with Atari, I was born a bit later. So I don't have any memories attached to it. But I really liked the format and I think you can really enjoy the games more in the context of the interactive documentary. And some of them are just timeless classics. Llamasoft is the story of Jeff Minter, one legendary game developer who's developed so many games. It must be great to learn about his career and play the games in this doc format.

I hope Retrorealms is doing well, because the game hints at new games in the future. I can imagine Freddy Krueger being next...

 

Tune in on 11/11 at 2 p.m. PT for a SUPER NINTENDO WORLD Direct livestream! The stream will be roughly 10 minutes and showcase Donkey Kong Country of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD at Universal Studios Japan. No game information will be featured during the presentation.

I've been playing the Retrorealms Halloween/Ash vs. Evil Dead games. Mostly Halloween. They're pretty fun so far!

I got Atari 50: The Anniversary Cellebration Expanded Edition on Friday, and I've been really enjoying it. I love the format of interactive videogame documentary, it's amazing and there's so much interesting content. I'd love to get Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story too in this same format, but as of March 2024, physical was in planning stage with platforms to be determined. I haven't found any news since then :(

Also looking forward to being able to get Tetris Forever, another an interactive documentary videogame, physical version apparently next year...

It's good to have official confirmation 🙌

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yeah, the worst day was when I was too sick to even look at a screen 😅

I did get Brütal Legend in a Humble Bundle yes. Looks like it was Humble Indie Bundle 9 in September 2013, back when they were cool!

The game is still quite fun. Other than the humor (if you don't like Jack Black, it might not be the game for you), the gameplay is good and has lots of different mechanics.

I was off work sick for a few days, so I decided to catch up with Super Mario RPG on Switch. I finished it and did a bit of the aftergame stuff, and it was quite fun. The style is amazing, I really enjoyed how pretty everything looks in this remake. The easter eggs and the humour in general are really good.

The negatives are the battles get a bit repetitive at times. And:

spoilerWhoever designed the 3D maze seems to have a personal vendetta against gamers and hates us with a passion. It did some damage... 😆

I also played some stuff on Steam. Titan Attacks (a modern Space Invaders with a cool style) and Syder Arcade when in a mood for pew pew games and Brütal Legend which I've had for years and only just now can play with a decent set up.

 

Rage of the Dragons NEO will be available on November 14th for Steam, Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series S|X

Rage of the Dragons brings back the adrenaline of 2D battles with refined gameplay, charismatic characters and a dual combat system that demands strategy and precision. In this game, every blow counts and every decision can be the difference between victory and defeat.

Rage of the Dragons NEO is a new version of Rage of the Dragons, released in 2002 for arcades. It was a unique and innovative game, mainly due to its highly praised visuals and technical aspects at the time. With beautiful scenery and animations, incredible moves and an acclaimed soundtrack, it's a must-have for any fighting game lover.

Famous for being very challenging, Rage of the Dragons NEO is based on tag team battles where the player uses two characters, controlling one at a time, being able to alternate them during combat, and being able to use both at the same time to perform unique special moves.

Rage of the Dragons NEO features:

  • Dual combat system: choose two fighters and switch between them in real time, creating devastating tricks and combos
  • Iconic characters: Meet a gallery of fighters with unique styles, each with their own story and abilities ranging from the traditional to the supernatural.
  • Classic arcade mode: Relive the golden days of fighting games with arcade mode, taking on a series of opponents in pursuit of the title of champion.

And more:

  • Versus mode
  • Training mode
  • Dragon Challenge - new exclusive mode
  • Ranked or casual matches
  • Lobby for up to 8 players
  • Replay with take over
  • All online modes with netcode rollback
  • Jukebox - choose the music to play in the menus
  • Over 80 team combinations in classic mode

I use ~/workspace . I think I got this from when I first started using Java years ago. Eclipse created new projects in this directory by default maybe?

This game was so impressive and really fun on the Wii U. It could be a big seller for the Switch!

I wonder why it took them this long to bring it to Switch. Maybe there's a sequel coming out for the next console.

This looks amazing, but I can't get another Sonic game before I finish playing the ones I got! 😆

What? The weekend's already here? Where did the week go? I need to look at my backlog and choose some games!

I remember Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition for Wii U was amazing. One of the few games that did really good use of the Game Pad, I had a lot of fun with it. I was tempted to get the collection for Switch, I assume it looks way better than on Wii U (which wasn't really an issue for me). But I don't know if I'd play all three of them from scratch...

[–] picandocodigo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, back when I saw this (was it on the Indie showcase?) I thought it'd be Silksong!

 

I'd say the fact that we see the Nintendo logo instead of the Nintendo Switch logo at the end of the video means something... Also the eyes on top of the Nintendo logo at the end are very similar to Cappy's eyes in Super Mario Odyssey. And they just show up from the left and stand on the logo, looking at you...

GOG games I've been having a harder time making them work. At least the Mortal Kombtas on fullscreen mode, I'll eventually figure that out.

I play random characters on Injustice too. I had it on the Wii U and I think I did the whole story mode there, but it's been a while.

Let me know what you think once you play Halo. The first one at least was fun for me. I never played multiplayer though, I think that was the main thing back in the day? I'll see how far I get on the first one before I move on to the second one...
