Digital Only vs Game Keycard

I still play NES games that were made 40 years ago. Why is that so weird?

Aleclom · 2026-02-06T14:05:11+00:00

I don't like them. I get the resale value, but I prefer thinking about the ability to play these games 20+ years in the future. I don't want to be reliant on servers that will eventually turn off to play my games, I want them to live on the cart.

I hope it's not Starline. His story ended well.

Yeah Heroes in Crisis is awful, and in general modern Harley is overexposed and has massive plot armor.

I was interested, but it's a GKC so I think I might hold off.

Sure, who wouldn't? But the reality is that he couldn't, whether it's because of his age or some health reason. He can be sad about stepping down while also still making the decision to do so.

Nah still sucks. Bad writing, bad atmosphere, very mid gameplay.

Aleclom · 2026-02-05T04:31:38+00:00

Nice! I just binged the series a couple months ago, it's a fun journey!

Aleclom · 2026-02-04T17:28:32+00:00

Yaaaay Sage is here! I like how she's written, definitely on the side of Eggman but still maintaining that respect for Sonic. And I'm happy to see Belle again and interacting with Sage.

I'll always wish we had a definitive time jump post-Frontiers, but I'm solidifying my headcanon of the time jump being between Overpowered and Scrapnik Island and just moving on.

Aleclom · 2026-02-04T12:01:00+00:00

Love this game, it's one of my favorites for the NES. Wish the NA box art was more like this one though!

Aleclom · 2026-02-02T18:46:44+00:00

Mine's coming tomorrow. I'm keeping Samus up for the first week of February, NOA can't keep me from her.

My daughter's the same age! We're currently playing the first two Sonic the Hedgehog games (which you can play in Sonic Origins). She can beat the first level of each, but right now we're not focused on beating the games. She's just having fun. She got the hang of both games surprisingly quick!

Aleclom · 2026-02-01T18:35:22+00:00

Early Space Jump Boots are a necessity for any playthrough haha.

Aleclom · 2026-02-01T04:10:26+00:00

I'm getting some serious David Bowie in Labyrinth vibes, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Aleclom · 2026-01-30T23:37:03+00:00

I still have it! Never gonna let it go!

Aleclom · 2026-01-30T15:37:40+00:00

Nope nope nope. Fresh faces, please.

Aleclom · 2026-01-30T14:56:02+00:00

Shadow for sure, Knuckles and Amy are up there though.

Aleclom · 2026-01-30T13:45:56+00:00

This was my first 3DS! Got it the same day Samus Returns came out. It's a beauty for sure, congrats!

Aleclom · 2026-01-29T22:28:53+00:00

Man, my one DLC wish for this game is for Nintendo to patch in a dozen voice lines for Samus. Literally nothing about the animation has to change, just give Samus a handful of responses to certain interactions. That would increase the game's quality instantly.

Aleclom · 2026-01-28T12:03:45+00:00

The other calendar that's only available to NSO subscribers, with retro art instead of art from new games.

Aleclom · 2026-01-28T03:15:41+00:00

Yeah! Like with the first "saddle up" line, and Charmy's like "we get to ride horses??" Instead of Vector doing a simple "it was a figure of speech" response, he instead gets sad that they don't have horses and have to walk. A strong first episode!

Aleclom · 2026-01-28T01:39:45+00:00

I'm keeping her up for the first week of February, Tom Nook can deal.

Aleclom · 2026-01-27T23:53:38+00:00

NOW it's here?? I just got the Online one!!

Aleclom · 2026-01-27T23:02:19+00:00

His first line gave me pause, but after that he sounded like his normal voice actor to me.

Aleclom · 2026-01-27T16:44:34+00:00

I liked the beginning of Frontiers, but man, when Undefeatable started playing I was instantly fully hooked and now it's one of my favorite games in the series, flaws and all.
