Hi there! Like many of you out there, I have a huge backlog of video games. It often feels like I collect games more than I play them! Well, it's about time I did something about it. I made a list of 100 games in my backlog that I am committed to complete. Starting now, I am...

@MetroidMike64 Shovel Knight had that and it didn't bother me. Same with Hollow Knight and Silksong.

@BacklogJack Same. I want to see what the developers intended the game to play like so I will not be modifying anything on my first playthrough. Although I really don’t like dropping loot when you die and having to go fetch it. I’ll see how that feels.

This game seems very replayable. 7 different game plus modes. Built-in modifiers to adjust gameplay. Lower the Souls mechanics and increase the Zelda style. Do not sleep on Yacht Club!

Hoping to make the game easier? Amp up the challenge? Looking to get WEIRD???? 🥸 We’ve got you covered. Mina the Hollower has tons of built-in modifiers that customize your experience from the lenient to the punishing. 💪 What kind of experience are YOU going to craft? 👾

@AmiiboNews Since there are 2 of them, you can get free shipping, so there's no reason to wait for another retailer. Get them while you can if you are interested!

Ken Levine, le créateur de BioShock, vient de dire tout haut ce que beaucoup pensent tout bas. « Regardez la Switch 2 et les nouvelles machines qui arrivent. Ce ne sont pas des bonds technologiques énormes… et ce n’était pas le but. On commence enfin à admettre qu’on a atteint un point de saturation sur les graphismes. » Il explique que le photoréalisme coûte très cher, vieillit mal, et que BioShock reste encore magnifique aujourd’hui justement parce qu’il misait sur un style artistique fort plutôt que sur le réalisme à tout prix. Le message est limpide : on n’a plus besoin de toujours chercher plus de puissance brute. Un bon directeur artistique et une direction visuelle assumée valent souvent mieux que des millions de polygones en plus. Enfin un grand nom de l’industrie qui ose le dire ! Et vous, vous préférez quoi ? Des graphismes ultra-réalistes qui poussent les consoles dans leurs retranchements… ou des univers stylisés qui restent beaux pendant des années ? #BioShock #Switch2 #JeuVidéo #KenLevine

@MetroidMike64 They go way outside what the scope of the game should be, and then when it's not successful, they will only go back to another remake of the first game. And I know that they are all different (except for SF3D), but they are still all heavily based on that first game.

@BacklogJack It’s crazy that they can’t come up with something new in this vast universe they created. Insanity.

@MetroidMike64 Yeah, that's the one! Once you've reached your limit online, it doesn't reset until the site goes under maintenance, and then they sell out so quickly. Most controllers have a limit of 2, but the GameCube controller has a limit of 1. I got lucky a couple of times.

NES & SNES NSO controllers finally back in stock. Grabbed a couple of more. Wanted 4 SNES ones specifically for my Analogue Pocket Dock.

@MetroidMike64 That's neat. I don't have that one, but I did get a pair of Famicom controllers with the JP collector's edition of NES Classics Remix or whatever that was called. GameCube controllers were the trickiest, though, because there was a limit of 1 online. I bought one at Nintendo NYC

Nintendo should sell a Dockless Switch 2 with no Dock No HDMI Cable. For those that don’t play their Switch 2 docked and sell it for $399 to reduce unnecessary costs. I’m one of those that only plays docked once in a blue moon. 90% of my gaming is handheld only. @NintendoAmerica

@MetroidMike64 Mario 64 easily needs it the most. I know I'm in the minority when I say this, but that game has aged like milk.

I didn’t have Star Fox as the first N64 game to get a full remake on my bingo card. Nate the Hate also leaked an Ocarina of Time remake too. I mean, if we’re gonna remake N64 games, Super Mario 64 has to be in the discussion, no?

Had to take a break from gaming to focus on my upcoming Super World in Mario Maker 2. Updating to version 4.0, creating manual and maps, making insane progress. Yoshi coming soon, skipping LEGO Batman for now, having a baby, then StarFox. Life getting busy.

@MetroidMike64 Same exact feelings. I did believe the new StarFox game was real, but as soon as they said it was a 64 remake, I lost 90% of my hype. I'll still get it, but it's really disappointing that they won't make a new game.

I open Twitter to see a StarFox Direct available, just like that, no announcement. Kinda felt like “yeah this was leaked so here ya go.” I miss actual Nintendo Directs. Excited for a new StarFox, devastated that it’s another remake of StarFox 64. Regardless I will devour this.

Nobuo Uematsu is one of the greatest composers of all time. His work made an entire generation fall deeply in love with music, and inspired countless people, like myself, to become musicians and composers. I met Uematsu-san and had a short chat with him, and I'm so grateful to hear that, even after all this time, he's still on the very same mission: Writing beautiful music for the sake of those who come after. Thank you, @UematsuNobuo !

@MetroidMike64 @YouTube Thanks dude! When I finish the entire soundtrack, I might do a playthrough of the game and replace all the music with my cover tracks. But that's probably at least 2 years away.

My purple 8BitDo Pro 3 controller just arrived. It has a charging dock and there’s a compartment underneath that has extra colored buttons and a little suction cup thingy to extract them. Even got ball tops for the sticks that I most likely will never use. This thing is 🔥🔥!
