"Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Metroidvania"
As announced after my 100%-playthrough I wrote down my thoughts on the game on #Questlog. 📝
In the end this #Metroid title couldn't deliver what I expected. Nintendo decided against the continuation of the successful and challenging Metroid (Prime) formula and provided a casual and action-heavy gameplay experience that may attract new players but disappoint fans of the series. 👎

Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 is a 1994 platform game for the Game Boy. It sold more than 5 million copies and established the Wario series of spin-offs and sequels. 🏰
There are 3 unique helmets that Wario can obtain.
The Bull Helmet increases Wario's strength and doubles the length of his shoulder charge attack. 🐂
The Jet Helmet increases Wario's running speed and lets him fly. 🪽
Finally, the Dragon Helmet lets Wario shoot long-ranged bursts of flames. 🐲

Ah ok, I understand. 👍
Actually I read about a lot of players canceling the playthrough due to the escape sequences. I'm curious if the developers changed that approach for the successor.

Did you consider the parts apart from the escape sequences as cozy? I was more annoyed by the difficulty of the normal parts of the game than by the time-pressure parts. 😅

There is a demo for Ori on Switch if you want to test it. I played the demo to get an impression before I bought the retail collection of both Ori titles.
Hollow Knight is also still on my list for the future.

Recently I finished my offstream 100%-playthrough of Ori and the Blind Forest on Switch 2. 🎮
I consider myself an experienced Metroidvania-player and therefore played on hard difficulty. In the end I was facing a tough platformer and more than 1,800 deaths during the playthrough. 🪦

Got all the 7 Chaos Emeralds and therefore the good ending with Super Sonic in Sonic 2 on Mega Drive. 🦔💨
That was quite a grind learning all these special stages for the Chaos Emeralds.
You are "rewarded" afterwards with becoming invincible Super Sonic every 50 rings, but what should be an advantage is actually an disadvantage because Super Sonic is hard to control and you can't get any further continues by collecting 100 rings... 😪

Kung Fu Kid is a beat-'em-up developed and published by Sega for the Master System where the young kung fu master Wang must defeat the evil Madanda and his henchman Kyong Shi to avenge the death of his master. 🥋
It follows the common beat-'em-up scheme: The goal is to make it to the end of each of the 7 stages, where a boss fight awaits. Enemies continually pour in to challenge Wang. 🏯

Second I transferred all the information about my #gaming habits and achievements from the Twitch info panels to my Owncast channel description. ↪️

...figuring out what to request specifically I reached out for my ISP and they luckily could provide me with everything I needed and even unlocked it within one hour only.
I used this telephone call to also upgrade my upload bandwidth to 50 Mbit/s, what should give me the opportunity to host some more traffic intense services on my home server and therefore don't need to outsource this to a #VPS.
It's strenuous but I am sure the resulting opportunities will be rewarding.

The last three days I spent every free minute for getting deeper into the #selfhosting topic I never dealt with before.
And this seems necessary as there is so much to learn, understand and troubleshoot:
After finally being able to flash the SD card for the #RaspberryPi, I had to realize that my Internet Service Provider doesn't provide me with Dual Stack. That means no individual IPv4 address, no port forwarding, no bridge mode and therefore no access to my server from the outside.
After...

There are things going on that demonstrate the importance of independent, decentralized solutions for the way we use the internet for the democratic discourse and to share our ideas, dreams and hopes.
I still use #Twitch but I don't want to wait until #Bezos also officially makes this platform to a place where hate gets pushed and minorities have to fear discrimination.
Step by step getting into #selfhosting, not only for streaming, is my way of compensating. Getting a #RaspberryPi is step #1.

So, let's get to the games...
1 of 12 is the overall Mega Drive/Genesis classic Sonic the Hedgehog. 🦔
With 15 million units sold it's the best selling Mega Drive game of all time, also because it was often bundled with the console. 📈
I had to change the game case's cover due to water stain and the instructions booklet due to cigarette smell. Luckily I still had replacements for these parts and therefore now honorable conditions. 🌟

The 72 Pin Connector is the Achilles' heel of the NES. It connects the game module with the consoles board.
After all those years the pins are filthy and worn out, what leads to insufficient contact between the module and the console and therefore a black screen when playing. 💔
Found some advice about cooking the connector in boiling water, what cleans and adjusts the pins to their original position. 💧
Worked perfectly in my case, but copy at your own risk. ⚠️

For this marketing campaign Sega made use of the so called "irritation" strategy.
First step was causing this irritation by advertising the "Wo ist mein SEGA?" lettering and Sonic on public posters and TV commercials. 📺
Viewers got confused but also curious about what "SEGA" and the illustrated character mean. 🤔
The Mega Drive and Sonic game was then revealed via further, more concrete TV commercials during the upcoming months. ❗

A cool little gimmick coming with the Mega Drive package were these four Sonic stickers stating "Wo ist mein SEGA?", engl. "Where is my SEGA?". 🦔
They were part of a Sega marketing campaign in Germany and Greece from 1992, mainly consisting of posters, TV and radio advertisements. 📺
The marketing campaign was focused on introducing Sega to the German people because the company wasn't widely known as a game manufacturer at this time.

Yesterday I started into refurbishing what I call my "pick of the year".
A couple of weeks ago I got a Mega Drive package consisting of a console, two controllers and 12! games at a price that was far too low for what it's worth. 🎮
Especially the games are in a very good condition. Only 2 of them are lacking the manual. 9 of them are new to my collection. 🌟
I will reveal the games in this thread, escalating to the most valuable ones. 📈

Soldering skills are improving. 🧰
I finished my second 60 Hz mod on a #Sega Mega Drive.
This Mega Drive has the "High Definition Graphics • Stereo Sound" lettering above the cartridge slot and looks better in general, that's why I wanted to replace the current #MegaDrive in my collection. 🔄
The ones with the external port are harder to mod because there is not much space left to mount the switch. Gave me some headache but in the end it worked out. 💪

Made it trough the first bigger dungeon and really enjoyed the game so far. ⛰️
It's quite challenging from fighting and riddling perspective but also looks great and gives me a lot of the classic Zelda vibes.
Would consider it a hidden gem so far, I definitely will go on with this game. 💎

So, we have a winner here. 🏆 🐒
To be honest, everyone who received one of these games for Christmas '94 was a winner these days.
There were many alternatives like Shaq Fu (released Oct 28) that could have caused some sorrow under the Christmas tree...

Do it, I think you won't regret.
Like this me and I think a lot of other people got into capturing the own #retrogaming sessions. Sharing this online on Mastodon or somewhere else is a cool motivation and helps to spread the word of retrogaming.
But be careful, depending on the setup you use, capturing retro consoles can be a huge rabbit hole 😄

"Does everything right, but lacks novelties"
I wrote down my thoughts on Resident Evil 3 on @npub1wca…ncvu and therefore my second game review on the platform. ✍️
Maybe limited by the PS1's capabilities they didn't implement fundamental new features, but it's still a very enjoyable RE title for those looking for the classic experience and avoiding the remake. 🧟
What's your opinion on the third installment of the series?

Yesterday I finished my first playthrough of #ResidentEvil 3 on PS1. 🏁
Checked the guide for the game from my collection afterwards and realized that the game offers a lot of replayability and there is quite some stuff you could miss. 📘
I went for hard difficulty, and considering the information from the guide that's the intended difficulty as the easy option removes a lot of the series' established techniques. ❌

Sonic and the Black Knight is a Wii exclusive from 2009. ⚔️
It is the second and final entry in the Sonic Storybook series, following Sonic and the Secret Rings from 2007. Black Knight's poor critical reception and commercial failure, on top of Sega's restructuring of the franchise in 2010, resulted in the death of the Storybook Series. 📉

I'm quite lucky with having a copy of Mortal Kombat Armageddon for Wii here in Germany as this game was put on the index after its release in 2007. 🚫
They removed it from the List of Media Harmful to Young People in May 2023, but it is still hard to find. 🔍
Reasons for the indexing were that the game invites the player to destroy humans and human like creatures, the detailed violence, the "martial" fatalities and more. 👊🩸

The Xploder already has cheat codes for a lot of Game Boy games.
The number of codes depends on the game.
For example Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle only has one cheat code for unlimited lifes because the game has no more values to manipulate. 🐰
Games like Super Mario Land have more cheat codes due to the fact that values like the ♥ life, 🟡 coin and ⏳ time count can be manipulated.

Yeah, considering the time in between these two consoles, there have been some developments that conceal similarities. But I think it is still detectable that there have been inspirations for the Dreamcast controller from the SNES one.
Btw, the SNES controller from the picture is an official one. These are the ones we received in Europe. They have the four color action buttons. The buttons are also all convex, instead of the two convex and two concave from the US version.

Yesterday SM64 speedrunner Suigi achieved another unbelievable milestone for his legacy. He got the 120 ⭐ WR with a time of 1:35:33h, lowering his PB by 1m 27s minutes and the WR by 29s. 🏆
Once again he now has the WR in 4 of the 5 categories (0, 1, 16, 70, 120 ⭐), only missing the 70 ⭐ category yet.
He was at this stage a year before, only missing the 120 ⭐ WR he got now.

I'm three hours now in my first playthrough of Super Mario Galaxy on Wii and the patch for Classic Controller Support obviously makes an already awesome game even more enjoyable. 👌
The replacement of the movement controls by the right analog stick works out very fine so far and seems well implemented. 🕹️
In the game I especially like the extra challenges forcing you to collect some of the stars in a specific amount of time or reduced HP. ⏱️

I just stumbled upon newly released #indie game Drova and some trigger terms in articles and reviews made me very interested in the game:
- 2D Gothic ⚔️
- no quest markers 🗺️
- no hand-holding 🤝
- enemies not leveling with you ⬆️
...
It's available on all modern consoles and OS, also natively supports #Linux.
Has anyone played it yet and can share some insights with me if this is a worthy #Gothic -like experience?

...by the limitations of the 8-bit NES, Nintendo chose to remake them for the 16-bit SNES. 🕹️
The developers based the updated designs on those from Super Mario World (1990) and strove to retain the feel of the original games. 👌

That's so cool! 👌
Someone made a patch for Super Mario Galaxy to control it with a #Wii Classic (Pro) Controller and therefore get rid of the motion controls. 👋
The aiming originally done by pointing with the Wii Remote is now replaced by the right analog stick of the Classic Controller. 🕹️
The patch is used via the homebrew Riivolution, an on-the-fly game patcher for use with retail discs on the Wii. 💿
So yeah, I think I have found my next 💯% completion game. 🤩

...of Yoshi's Island, Donkey Kong Country was released, which resulted in its computer-generated graphics becoming the norm for contemporary SNES games. 🤩
It was too late for the graphic designers to incorporate such a style into Yoshi's Island; instead, they pushed the hand-drawn style further as a way to "fight back". 🖍️

I had quite a nice gaming experience in the last days. 💭
After finishing #Metroid Prime casually with 78% completion I step by step went for 100% item collection using a guide and watching a 6! hours YouTube documentary about Prime's #speedrun history. 🌌
Both brought me so much closer to the games lore and made me understand why the game is considered a timeless masterpiece. 🪐

This morning I could lower my PB in Turtles III for Game Boy by more than one minute and achieved a sub 33. ⏱️
I am getting more an more confident in the boss fights, going for more risky strats to continuously lower my time. There is still much room for improvement and I think a sub 30 is realistic. 💪
WR is 26m 31s. 🥇

Luckily this could be solved easily. ✔️
I recognized that the issue only came up by moving explicitly one of the four batteries. Looking at the contacts for this battery I saw that there was slight corrosion. I couldn't remove the corrosion but replace the contacts plate with one from a different non functioning Game Boy. 🔁
This Game Boy now runs flawlessly too. 👌

This morning I took care of some Game Boy loot on stream.
I updated my stream setup so we could instantly check and play the games refurbished before live on stream.
I refurbished two Game Boys. One of them works fine but the second one has an issue: There seems to be some kind of defective contact related to the power supply from the batteries. Every time the batteries are slightly touched, the #GameBoy turns off.
@npub1y54…l6va or anyone else having an idea what causes this?

...Jack and the Beanstalk.
The game was first revealed in February 1995, a year before the Japanese release of the N64, but the game was not heard from again. 👂
No screenshots or videos have been publicly released of it, and little is known about what the game looked or played like. 🤷
After progress in the development of Jack and the Beanstalk was deemed unsatisfactory, the idea arose to turn it into a Pokémon spin-off.💡
