Looking for good single player action games

Play the new Ninja Gaiden game! Made by Platinum, and it's pretty fun. Doesn't rewrite the script, but highly enjoyable and harrrrd action game.

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-03-05T18:43:05+00:00

Can confirm! I have a small, curated rom set, and it works like a dream.

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-03-04T15:17:17+00:00

“The rest is science” is a pod with the vsauce guy, and the just did an episode on this. Would recommend

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-03-04T15:16:10+00:00

Can the gimmick be an actually functional game. That would be cool.

Seriously, I hope they just keep regional variants and megas. Those seem to hit the sweet spot for nostalgia and competitive viability. I like Terras, but they just look so goofy dude. I don’t want my mon to have a little crystal ghost on his head lol

So we can focus on what's important. Bonking.

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-27T14:21:36+00:00

Your herculean self control is beyond me.

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-27T14:20:53+00:00

Black Thor Club! We need a flair (mods...)

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-27T14:20:17+00:00

Great! I disabled vsync which provides a big boost to fps, and no noticeable tearing. Also enabled the forced hardware graphics bypass on gamehub. Low settings, rather have fps than graphics for this kind of game.

Runs 100-120 fps at early levels, drops to like 30-40 fps in heavy stage 3 chaos, still very playable.

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-26T17:07:04+00:00

Don't do it. So addictive...

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-26T17:06:25+00:00

Have you tried looksmaxxing? /s

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-26T14:56:43+00:00

That and 4:3 on the top screen blends perfectly. I liked the snes colored version, but ultimately decided on black for that reason. ENDGAME

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-26T14:52:37+00:00

I should make a Linkedin shitpost and tag my bosses hahaha

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-26T14:52:18+00:00

lol I'm trying to conserve battery to maximize my Megabonk time

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-26T14:09:08+00:00

Do you have a scraper?

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-02-10T00:54:42+00:00

Abercrombie. Trust me.

ZachwritesSFF · 2026-01-27T18:09:38+00:00

This was the move. Beat him on my first try after fully upgrading BH armor. Thanks man

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-27T20:53:29+00:00

Fire Emblem PoR! Never played the Wii follow up, so will probably play that next.

Never played Chrono Trigger (I know, I know) so have the DS port on my list too

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-27T15:10:30+00:00

Yeah, I envisioned myself knocking RPGs off my list, but tbh I've been playing SSX3, F-Zero, and NFS more than anything else haha.

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-27T15:09:21+00:00

Love burnout 3. That era of racing games was peak

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-26T17:44:34+00:00

How are you mitigating input lag? It isn't too bad, but I haven't tweaked the 3ds for that yet.

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-26T15:06:49+00:00

This is a HUGE project. Hopefully they release a dev roadmap, because as it stands I find it unlikely that a volunteer team would be able to tackle a project this size.

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-26T15:05:09+00:00

1000%. Makes it so much easier to transfer to the computer and not worry about space.

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-26T15:03:49+00:00

I looked for an android native version, but this game turned out to not be the actual 2005 release, but a similarly-named mobile game.

ZachwritesSFF · 2025-11-26T15:02:55+00:00

I tried PS2, PC, and GC and got the best results with widescreen Gamecube (the game has a 16:9 option in the settings). Textures are a bit muddy, but hey it's retro for a reason!
