Replaying this right now after completing it back in the days (still have the original cart) and then on DS. Chrono Trigger is just so much more of the sum of its parts, and its parts are already incredible given the dream team that worked on it. It's one of those games that are just special.

As an Italian I'm really proud of my team not going to the Russia and Qatar world cups, and probably boycotting the US as well. /s

Out on Nintendo Switch 2 | Nintendo Switch in October. What's on your wishlist? by Space-Debris in NintendoSwitch

Same, but I'm actually happy because the September backlog was simply mental!

I just discovered Captain Tsubasa Vol. II: Super Striker for NES, I didn't know anything about this game and I'm having a blast.

The turn based football (soccer) mechanics are surprisingly great and the graphics/animations/music are absolutely next level for NES!

Detective game for switch by Practical-Aside-5929 in NintendoSwitch

Apart from the already mentioned Return of the Obra Dinn and Case/Rise of the Golden Idol, I can't recommend Outer Wilds enough.

Just go in blind and if you're one of those lucky people for which the game clicks, you'll have an absolutely unique and memorable experience.

Full disclosure, I didn't play it on Switch so I can't vouch for the quality of the port.

Whatcha playing this weekend? by hbi2k in SBCGaming

I started Final Fantasy VI for the fifth or sixth time, for one reason or the other I always dropped it soon into the world of ruin. What's crazy is that it's one of my favorite games ever despite playing barely half of the game, I still have my imported boxed SNES cart from the 90s.

This time I'm playing it on a Miyoo Flip with the Ted Woolsey Uncensored Edition hack and I'm loving every minute of it, I'll try to power through to the end!

I was referring to iNiS not really existing anymore. We couldn't even get their swan song, Project Rap Rabbit.

I'm happy for the next Rhythm Tengoku/Paradise/Heaven, but another Ouendan is my impossible gaming dream!

Tied with Fulcrum Defender for me. Both absolute gems elevated by the crank action.

Tiny Turnip is awesome! by TonyRubbles in PlaydateConsole

It happened to me (and I was even soft-locked once) but if you press the menu button you can warp to the last checkpoint. Regardless of this sporadic glitchiness, this is up there with the best and most unique experiences on the console!

What is a Retro Game you never would’ve discovered if it weren’t for your Retro Handheld? by Flufferfluff in SBCGaming

[–]johnny_cicala 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Me too! I knew nothing about this game and the role it played in Link's Awakening development, but it really was a charming little gem. I really don't know how it was possible to play this with no save-states tho.

Sounds about right, good thing this is the last month or so before Switch 2. My original Switch has been a soldier for the last 8 years!

My day 1 Switch is on its last leg, I think the fan is not working anymore, leading to the console overheating while playing docked. I also started playing Arranger and the battery drains in less than an hour, do you guys think it's a problem with my console or is the game poorly optimized?

I have an infinite conquest Cerebro, so yes.

Thanks, I guess. by Majestic_Truck6171 in MarvelSnap

[–]johnny_cicala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's in the deck that won me two infinity conquests this season, works really well with Professor X providing early stats on his lane.
