Great news! I’m gonna shove it in my Everdrive ❤️

@Xerox1919 I somewhat agree. I found Expedition 33 pretty average at best. Tons of rpg clichés, an empty world, boring locations, confusing, predictable twists, slightly pretentious and that weird feeling of playing a « fake Japanese RPG » mostly made by French people that screams « we’re French, bisous baguette » every five seconds (I’m French myself).

Technically it’s not even that impressive imo… It honestly looks like a AA-budget indie. Definitely not what you’d expect from a true AAA production.

The game is okay but it’s so overrated it’s unbelievable. Lost Odyssey destroys it in almost every aspect (music, world-building, story, cities, battle system…) and… it’s 100% Japanese.

I don’t get it. It plays perfectly well on Xbox Series X and S so it’s not as if the game was locked on an old dead system for ever… Anyone can play it for 5 bucks during sales.

Just grab a cheap Xbox like you would buy a Switch to play Zelda. The game is rather popular among Xbox players anyway.

Microsoft working with SEGA on one of the Dreamcast’s OS didn’t stop them from releasing the Xbox 3 years later though but the deal (software not hardware) was certainly less restrictive.

PlayStation having no « cool » identity of its own, needed to buy and lock down everything from third party studios, unlike SEGA and Nintendo who built their own universes. It was a toxic era, even though I loved it. Games, including Wipeout 64, were amazing.

Xbox AND Sega layout.

As a SEGA fan, I vastly prefer this layout.

Anyway, I prefer open source retro systems for obvious reasons.

Using AI to replicate the voice of one of the most famous French dubbing actresses is beyond stupid haha. They’re probably not even French and just assumed she was some random dubber from 30 years ago when in fact she’s still very active and well known today.

I do love the remasters though even if they broke the reversed camera in the first trilogy with the latest patch and never bothered to fix it.

The ridiculous price of that official VB device plus the fact you’re forced to rent the games will make the whole thing pointless in a decade or two. What’s the plan when Nintendo decides to shut down the rental service? Because you just know they will. And of course, they still refuse to let us actually buy Virtual Console titles on Switch.

Honestly, emulating VB on literally any VR headset is way more comfortable than paying a hundred bucks for that thing… and at least you’re not chained to a membership.

Anyway, almost nobody will play these games for more than 20 minutes each.

M64 like… MAGA 64? No… thx… I won’t fund that. I’ll stick with my moded fierce N64 👠

I replaced mine before it could happen a couple of years ago with an unofficial one that last MUCH longer than the original battery.
