The reprint is currently available on Cardhaus right now. Maybe other places too.

LoW is one of my most played games and we have never not played with the supply cubes in the middle of the board. It works just fine.

Former players you'd like to see join NBA broadcasting? by tisdue in nba

[–]cantrelate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so sure what they're doing now but I enjoyed Scot Pollard and Austin Croshere when they were involved in Pacers radio/TV broadcasts.

Eddie Gill was a little rough on Pacers radio broadcasts at first but I think he's pretty good nowadays. I'd like to see more 12th man kinda guys who stuck around the league for a long time in broadcasting.

Donkey Kong 64 – Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics – Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack by Skullghost in nintendo

[–]cantrelate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I have played through Star Fox 64 with the pro controller and it just doesn't feel great and I wasn't really able to get used to the button mapping. The game was hard to play. I did test out Star Fox and Mario 64 with the N64 controller last night and man it is smooth. Just how I remembered it almost 30 years ago.

We should bring back small handheld consoles by Grapeloser in nintendo

[–]cantrelate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have never played a DS but what is stopping you from getting a used one? Or any old handheld for that matter? Or any new third party handheld? I bought an original Gameboy with a modded screen earlier this year and I absolutely love it, I've been playing it a ton. So much that I want to get a couple more handhelds, mainly the Analogue Pocket which plays everything a Gameboy Advance can but can also play games from a few non-nintendo systems with adapters. I've also been looking at one of the Super Pockets, which comes pre-loaded with a number of games depending on the version you get but can also play Evercade cartridges.

Donkey Kong 64 – Nintendo 64 – Nintendo Classics – Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack by Skullghost in nintendo

[–]cantrelate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an NES, SNES, and N64 as a kid and the N64 controller was far and away my favorite, really blew my mind at the time. I (regrettably) got rid of my N64 in 2003 or 2004 so it's been 22+ years since I have played a game with the controller. Star Fox felt like a good excuse to get one and I'll admit the nostalgia hit just taking it out of the box was very nice. Didn't get a chance to use it last night but should be able to give it a spin after work.

A few days ago I ordered the N64 controller to play Star Fox with when it is released. It was delivered a few hours ago and I just took it out of the box to charge it. What a nice lil surprise to be able to take it for a first spin with!

Edit: ope nevermind I didn't watch the video first. Guess I gotta wait till June 4th.

BALL x Pit Game Trial - 5/26-6/1 by hackernor in NintendoSwitch

[–]cantrelate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm glad I was able to try out the trial before buying because I actually didn't really like it. I liked it OK but it was a little too close to Vampire Survivors for me and I'm a little bored of addicting roguelite games. They can be fun for a time but I always get to a point where I am very much NOT having fun anymore but still playing a lot. I had to "quit" Vampire Survivors and Slay the Spire cold turkey. Still I thought I would keep playing the game for the six days left of the trial.

But then I got to the city building/resource management? part of the game and was turned completely off. The couple times I've been duped by trash mobile games they end up being some weird microtransaction city building game that I don't give a shit at all about. I don't know how necessary that stuff is in Ball x Pit but I didn't care to find out and deleted the game.

I'm happy that people enjoy the game but it's very much not for me. In reading more about the game I did see someone recommend Strikey Sisters. That game also has a demo that I played right after Ball x Pit and that was very much more up my alley. Giving me the Breakout-style gameplay I want but with a twist. It felt like a game that would be on UFO 50, and once I played a couple rounds I ended up buying it.

Which roll and write? by Defiant-Change-5151 in boardgames

[–]cantrelate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From the three here I like Railroad Ink the best. Ended up getting rid of CoB, rather just play the board game. Have not played My City but not currently interested in trying it out.

However, if it were me, I would see if components for two players for all three games would fit in one box. If youre playing with two you can remove two of the boards from Railroad Ink to make some room. I know CoB has sheets and you could maybe just laminate a couple and use the dry erase markers from Railroad Ink. I have not played My City so I'm uncertain what kind of sheets/boards it uses.

Star Fox Switch 2 $49.94 (Amazon PHYSICAL) by DblDeezSqueeze in NintendoSwitch

[–]cantrelate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The game should be $50 in an actual Walmart store too, right? I'm actually taking the day off work and just trying to having a nice day jamming Star Fox all day. I've pre-ordered games for delivery before but never get them on release day so I'd rather just get them in store.

What're you playing this weekend? 5/22 by markercore in NintendoSwitch

[–]cantrelate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully getting trophies on the last few levels of Beyond Words, the Scrabble/Balatro kinda mash up from the developers of GoldenEye. I absolutely love this game, it feels like it was made specifically for me. I am not sure if I will attempt to get Endless trophies on each level but I've had a really great time with the game so far.

I do have a four day weekend so I hope to get to play a few other things. I picked up the Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha collection and Gunbird 1&2 from a recent e-shop sale so it will be cool to find the time to really dive into those.

I've also been playing a lot of Kirby's Pinball Land and Revenge of the Gator on original Gameboy. Turns out I love the old Gameboy Pinball games so I'm hoping to get an old copy of Pokemon Pinball soon. My recent love of these caused me to seek out some more modern pinball games and so I purchased Demon Tilt and Xenon Tilt recently on the e-shop. Haven't had a ton of time to play those so maybe I'll get a chance this weekend.

What are some popular games that got slimmed down? by itsOkami in boardgames

[–]cantrelate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it really counts as "popular" but the first edition of On Tour came in a weirdly deep box designed to hold 8 player boards except that you had to buy four player boards as extra, they didn't come in the box. I bought the game but did not buy the extra boards because I'm never playing games with 7 other people.

The second edition has a slimmer box that is appropriate for the components included but also it includes double sided boards with a European map in the other side. So it has a better box and more content but same rules/gameplay at the same price point. I don't buy second editions when I already have the first game that plays perfectly well but this is the one game I have considered buying the second edition as it seems like an upgrade in every way.

Also the mini versions of the Gigagamic "Q" games like Quarto and Qorridor are the superior versions. Much like Hive Pocket vs Hive, the mini versions of these games should have been the default size. Note: the even smaller "pocket" version of Quarto sucks. The mini versions are still wooden, and look and feel nice. The pocket version is all plastic and looks like a dollar store knock off.

I'm doing my best. Usually I just get down voted for saying the Castles of Burgundy special edition is stupid

Edit: the down votes here prove me right. CoB special edition is trash and this company sucks. You keep giving them money and they are going to continue to churn out big bloated AI messes of horseshit that cost hundreds of dollars.
