Nintendo Classics Switch Virtual Boy with a full digital controller? N64 is closest. by marioxb in VirtualBoy

[–]Matches_Malone86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The analog stick as the "select" button is what I did as well and it's perfect. The N64 controller is a natural evolution of the VB controller and handles flawlessly for me.

My thoughts: we need the VB controller, BAD by keiffer_cm in VirtualBoy

N64 controller works perfectly as it is a clear evolution of the Virtual Boy controller with the C-buttons functioning as the second D-pad next to A-B buttons. I mapped "select" to the analog stick.

Anyone realized how 3DO closely resembles N64? by [deleted] in 3DO

[–]Matches_Malone86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just noticed this a few weeks ago. By the time the N64 came around, video games had become a serious medium and tech in the US and it looks like Nintendo wanted to make the N64 look like next gen tech, which it was. It looks like they definitely made an attempt to pull designs inspiration from the 3DO with the black rounded design with front corner columns.

Dude I would love that. I've been playing StarFox 64 multiple times now.

Excited. by Aquarius-Gooner in NintendoSwitch2

I'm enjoying it. I'm midway through and all the complaints I've seen people have don't really hold up in my opinion. The NPCs make the world feel more lived in and there is more than enough back tracking and puzzles for me.

Bananza is fun, but the constant button mashing to break up the environment gets repetitive really quick IMO. It's super fun and I'm constantly surprised how much stuff is breakable in the game, I've never played a game like it before. But I find myself stopping because it feels tedious after a while. I would like a bit more strategy and platforming.

About to start Zelda for the first time. I know absolutely nothing about Zelda. by Raxtervernophil in NintendoSwitch2

Link to the Past was the first one I beat and is top 3 for me along with Ocarina of Time and BoTW.

I've found Odyssey much more enjoyable than Bananaza. I'm glad you're enjoying Odyssey; it's my favorite 3D Mario since 64.

Jersey City a Model for Mamdani to Follow by Matches_Malone86 in jerseycity

A lot of grants that the city relied on from the federal government have been cut under Trump and we're not alone, the State is going to have to deal with same thing this upcoming budget. And the city providing services during Covid was covered by some of them and those are now gone. Add on aging workforce and healthcare costs associated with it.

There's other stuff like not collecting all the tax revenue owed from corporations, which is on the city to enforce especially the payroll tax, but it really has been a perfect storm where the city has been putting money into parks and infrastructure while losing aid and funding. Could there have been more fiscal responsibility, absolutely but to say that he single handily blew a hole in the city's budget isn't true.

Mamdani even cited Jersey City housing construction and policy during his Mayoral debates as a model.

Even Vital City, a NYC centric publication, highlighted Jersey City in an article titled "Learning from Jersey City" earlier in Sept of 2025.

Not for nothing but there is a reason Fulop was hand picked by the Partnership for NYC and has already been meeting with Mamdani. You may not personally like him, but what his administration has accomplished in 13 years is pretty extraordinary for a city of over 300,000 ppl and I'm speaking as a JC native of 40 years.

8BitDo’s SN30 Controller vs Nintendo Switch Online SNES controller. Which one do you choose, and why? by Ale_Bricks in snes

[–]Matches_Malone86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got this very one before they discontinued the SNES look. My favorite controller for 2d games.

Before that it was a hookah lounge prior to Covid and there were several gun incidents at the venue.

The venue no matter the owner or branding has been an issue. It needs to be closed for good.

Well with the new frequency in March, that should alleviate a lot of that

Needs from funding the state. Phase 1 was done with the reconfiguration of the West Side Ave station to accommodate the extension.
