All the Castlevania games. Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow are the best ones, and they're both very light on dialogue.

Any mascot platformer is also usually light on dialogue but pretty fun. Sonic, Mario, etc. are good to play.

Fighting games are a fun watch and you can actually play with your friend. Tekken, Soul Calibur, Mortal Kombat, etc. are a fun time.

Sounds fun! Here's my favorite relatively chill multiplayer games:

  • ToeJam and Earl - the ultimate chill vibes game, punctuated with moments of panic, of course.
  • Gunstar Heroes - marvel at the peak of 16 bit graphics, blow up badguy robots, find cool gun combinations, repeat
  • Cyborg Justice - incredibly steep learning curve, but a chill repetitive gameplay loop with lots of interesting mechanics to discover
  • Battletoads vs Double Dragon - Probably the best brawler, with lots of interesting twists in gameplay mechanics. But starting with 3 lives is unfair - use the Konami code for a chance to see the whole game.

Didn't it have a big blank page at the end that wasn't entirely blank? Pretty sure it has a joke (probably funnier to my adolescent mind than it is now) but I'm not entirely sure.

ExtraMedicated OP ,

It sure did:

The tabletop was doing a headstand, right? Not something you'd want to do in a race but could be a great finisher on the stunt courses.

I would be interested, depending on the price. Closed shell design means it can be tossed into a bag without worrying about scratching the screen.

kratoz29 ,

I'd be worried about the unit being scratched ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

NewNewAccount ,

A scratched unit still works. A broken screen renders it pretty much useless.

I picked up a Miyoo Mini Plus earlier this year as an impulse buy, and ended up liking it enough that I regret not buying a higher end model with analog sticks. Still, don't know if it's worth trying to upgrade now - I'm waiting for the day we can get a full SteamOS device in this form factor.

it's not really needed since the only thing that has an analog stick that it can emulate is a PS1.

These sticks look super uncomfortable to use though

dinckelman , in N3DS - how much of a problem is this crack?

I would absolutely avoid that, because the hinge is already really fragile as it is, and by the looks of it, it is ready to snap off at any moment as is. Replacing the shell is a way bigger pain in the ass, than what it's worth

xyzzy , in Love picking up new Gameboy games in 2023

Thanks for clueing me in to incube8! I subscribed to their newsletter and signed up for release announcements for a few of the upcoming games currently in development.

Have you had a chance to play this game? If so, what are your thoughts?

Sabin10 , in Best distro for linux gaming?

I'm going to go against what others are saying and advise against the raspberry pi. If you are serious about ps2, ps3 and gamecube, the pi will struggle with more games than it runs well. Especially for ps3, you'll want at least a 4c/8t CPU, preferably no more than 5 years old, anything less will struggle.

InTheEnd2021 , in Best distro for linux gaming?

You literally just need a steamdeck. The EmuDeck software within it is made for exactly this and docking station it to your TV.

timbuck2themoon OP ,

I assume it can handle multiple controllers via BT or USB? I honestly hadn't even thought of this and it isn't a terrible price for all you get.

Retrograde , (edited )
@Retrograde@lemmy.world avatar

It does, I do this myself and it works perfectly!

Edit: you don't even need the steam deck dock, you can use most USB / HDMI adapters and be just fine

Don't ever make that noise in my ear again, mate.

Regarding your joystick issue, have you considered replacing the joystick module, or taking it to an electronics repair shop? Joystick modules are generally pretty cheap individually.

This is genuinely one of the most useful Analogue Pocket criticisms. Before buying AP you should watch this and either Digital Foundry or My Life In Gaming reviews. I still bought one and don't regret it but you should know what you're getting yourself into.

Wait, is that stretched to 16:9? I may have to rescind my upvote.

But also... cool.

StorageB ,

I found an old TV on Craigslist for $10 for my Genesis.

SquirtleHermit , in I beat Sonic the Hedgehog on Sonic Origins Plus without getting any Chaos Emeralds. Does that count too?

Did you have fun? That's all that ever counts
