Re: Talking Point: What Was Your First Animal Crossing Game?

AzzurraIrisLeaMonde

Doubutsu no Mori emulated on pc (didn't have a single Nintendo console back then - wanted to see what was all the fuss about anyway - my japanese was basic back then) Animal Crossing in japanese on n64.
Obviously was not much into it at first but then it grew on me. Then Animal Crossing on gc emulated (Doubutsu no Mori+) (still no Nintendo consoles).. After intergration of full online mechanics in Animal Crossing on Switch I first tried to emulated on my beefy pc but I wanted all content so bought a switch oled (for also other exclusives like 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim and Xenoblade and others e.g.). Now I play very slowly selling my pumpkins to pay my tanuki overlords. I enjoy receiveing letters from my fake virtual mom. Every time a little tear go down my cheek. While slowly decorating my island. I'm still an introvert even in the game lol.

Re: "Retrobrighting" Might Actually Cause More Harm Than Good To Your Yellowing Consoles

Anyway I already knew this since the invention of retrobright.
Authority is brittle.. I mean plastic..
My 286 compaq deskpro white monitor plastic became literally dust without even retrobright like old statues of classic era kings etc.
"And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
Like the Type O Negative singer sang: "Everything dieeessss!!"

There are also a third and a fourth game.
Shin Bokura no Taiyō: Gyakushū no Sabata (Boktai 3: Sabata's Counterattack) (GBA) (JP only)
and Bokura no Taiyō: Django & Sabata (Lunar Knights) (DS).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Knights
The fourth game does crazy stuff a la Sonic & Knuckles cart combos by inserting the the other games of the series in the GBA slot and uses the microphone as whistle..
You can also obtain certain items by trasferring data from the japanese version of Mega Man game Mega Man Star Force..

Re: Random: "That's Wild" - The Fact That Two French Devs Didn't Play Nintendo As Kids Appears To Have Upset Some People

Italian here. Every kid had a home computer (Vic-20, c64, Amiga, IBM PC or 100% compatible) (I had a IBM Compaq clone, a 286) or a Sega console (mostly Master Systems) in the very early 90s/very late 80s with fewer Mega Drives, some had Game Boys, fewer had Game Gear but then when the 32 bit era began most bought the ps1 or the Saturn, I bought the Saturn because Sega was life (grew up with sega arcades).. Few had the n64.. lol
