Now that Metroid is dead, can we discuss why the genre peaked here? why can't they even replicate a tiny bit of its genius? Also, why did the Nintendo give up on developing the series in-house?

they should put the speed booster in prime 4. even if it's limited like how the screw attack was implemented it'd be a lot of fun to shinespark in 3d. they managed it in other m apparently so it can't be that tricky to do.

SR388, a cancelled Metroid 2 remake fangame. AM2R is called Another Metroid 2 Remake since there were several other projects back in the day attempting to remake the game.

I don't give a fuck what some autistic nerd has to say, every cartridge I've blown into has never gotten any corrosion whatsoever. It's yet to have failed me. Q-tip and isopropyl is the best method but blowing works just fine in the moment.

Did you know that you've been doing everything wrong this whole time? All those things you thought were true weren't, because science says.

Yep, now you can join the elite knowers online club, the only cost to you is liking and subscribing to the youtubers who bring us this glorious content. Everything they say is true because not only does it appear on video (making it almost definitely true), but the people that see it then say did you know this was a myth? That's how you know they are a knower and not a commoner sheep who doesn't know about science and online youtube.

>Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires
N64
>Perfect Dark
>Jet Force Gemini
>Conker's Bad Fur Day
I'm the kind of faggot who spends most of his time isolated (it's comfy). These are the best for that vibe. Monster Hunter Dos has a gorillion hours to offer, and nowadays you can play it online with other fags. Gran Turismo is packed with content, you can get so obsessive with its license system and unlocks. Dynasty Warriors 5 Empires is peak repetition, pure autismo core (as zoomers say).
Perfect Dark and Bad Fur Day let you play multiplayer against the machine, and believe it or not, it's awesome. I spent several nights killing sims or sniping fucking teddies. Jet Force Gemini has tons of content and insane replay value (rescuing tribals is great).
I grew up with a Dreamcast and original Xbox too, but I enjoyed them like a normie, playing online and interacting with people calling them niggers and other slurs.
Honorific mention:

I hate how good the marketing for Jack Daniels is. They've successfully crafted this image for themselves of being the one true classic 'cool' whisky, something that's practical and popular, for the rugged everyman, and yet also something celebrities will be shown downing by the bottle, which implies you're a little bitch if you think you're "too good for it".

It's done really cleverly overall, so than even better value for money brands that ought to have a 'more manly' reputation, like Wild Turkey, don't come off like that in comparison.

John Carmack thinks Rebecca Heinneman was a smarter and more skilled programmer than he ever was. She made even the most venerated programmer in gaming history fall on his knees. Of course she had her own flaws, like she was apparently bad at project management unlike Carmack, but as a programmer, as a purely technical person, she was perhaps among the best of the best. Rest in Peace, Legend.

>>12189640
Sociopaths who are stupid are the kind of people who make up most of the general prison population, and the average autist does not have the social wherewithal to survive in prison for a week.

What is its legacy 35 years later? The original lineup from the fall of 1990:

>Card games: Cruel, Golf, and Pegged
>Minesweeper
>Taipei (a mahjong program)
>Tetris for Windows
>TicTactics (tic-tac-toe)
>The IdleWild screensaver program

3 additional packs came out by 1992, with pack #3 from the fall of 1991 perhaps being the most notable (it included SkiFree and Klotski).

Shovelware slop that appealed exclusively to literal, actual, tech illiterate, boomers. Except for Minesweeper, that's pretty good.

They were actual demo apps made to "prove" you could make games for Windows because nobody was doing that.

You have to pick 15. No more no less. Add-ons don't count, so if your favorite console is Sega CD just list Mega Drive. Same with console upgrades, GameBoy Color goes just under Game Boy, etc.
I'll go first:
Coleco Vision
NES
PC Engine
Mega Drive
Game Boy
Game Gear
Super Nintendo
Sega Saturn
Playstation
N64
Neo Geo Pocket
Dreamcast

Is this worth my precious time? It's referred to as the action version of Deus Ex that was supposed to be part of the series. The screenshots look cool but I'm still not sure about it. Would like to hear your experiences with it.

Let's be honest here, your time isn't precious. Most people's time isn't. In fact, I'm sure it would be more useful to society if you wasted it on playing video games than doing other things.
