StarTopic Nintendo General Discussion |ST Oct. 2021|

[Red Monster]

Really? I don’t remember this game being hard

It hasn’t been hard up till this point!

 

[MisterSpo]

So what’s the first game you guys plan to play on N64 and Genesis NSO tomorrow? Probably Dr Mario 64 and MUSHA for me

Depends when I subscribe, because I really want F Zero X most of all. Possibly Phantasy Star IV.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

It's difficult to overstate how hyped I am to be playing Sin & Punishment with a N64 controller for the very first time.

Imma vote for it for Fami's first GOTY award.

 

[Red Monster]

It’s N64 Day!

Except the controllers haven’t shipped yet so it’s not N64 Day!

Remembered that I preordered this while forgetting that Nintendo take money a week prior to release, so I've been charged and will be getting a controller (tomorrow?). My plan was to preorder while it was in stock and then decide what to do, but I guess Nintendo made the decision for me.

 

[Nmanic]

I'm very excited for Sin and Punishment but will wait until I get the N64 controller to play it. Hopefully that ships today...

But I will be playing the heck out of basically everything else as soon as the app drops

 

[Skittzo]

The Arena area in Aria of Sorrow is complete bullshit and I am not ashamed to admit that I’m making liberal use of save states and rewind here.

I unashamedly used the rewind function constantly during every game in that collection.

I've yet to receive a shipping confirmation and since we get our stuff from Germany, I don't expect it before mid-November anyway. That won't stop me from playing it, though!

Someone write some code that auto-filters bad N64 games for our vote, please

 

[9-Volt]

For me it's Mega Drive day. Not interested any of the N64 offerings. Yoshi especially one of my biggest disliked Nintendo games ever. If Nintendo went with Cuthbert's idea with Yoshi, we would have had Yoshi in the excellent Croc world!

 

[Red Monster]

For real though, when is the Expansion Pack dropping? It’s 9am on the east coast and I got nothin

That's not gonna stop Sin & Punishment's landslide win.

 

[reconceptualize]

That's not gonna stop Sin & Punishment's landslide win.

That reminds me - I'm fairly positive we need a few categories for our GOTY votes to avoid landslides by Sin and Punishment.

1. GOTY
2. Best New Old Game
3. Best Game that also would have been Great on Vita
4. Best Animal Crossing Item

Still working out some of the kinks.

 

[Phosphorescent Skeleton]

Sin & Punishment is the best game in N64, and soon, the best game on Switch

 

[Red Monster]

I’m seeing on Twitter that NSO has scheduled maintenance for 7pm tonight, I think pacific time? Not sure.

But that’s incredibly late.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Only until Sin & Punishment 2 is remastered.

 

[MissingNo.]

But that’s incredibly late.

The release date for Europe has been announced as the 26th, so that lines up, tbh.

 

[Weebos]

Wasn't it listed as releasing on 10/26 in some regions? That probably means later at night for NA.

 

[Derachi]

I’m seeing on Twitter that NSO has scheduled maintenance for 7pm tonight, I think pacific time? Not sure.

But that’s incredibly late.

Japanese ads for the Expansion Pack list it as releasing on the 26th. It’s a 9 PM Eastern drop.

 

[Derachi]

Did we ever decide if this thread is gonna have 10,000 posts or 20,000 posts? I’ve got a rough draft of |OT 02| / |OT November 2021| in my notes app haha

 

[deiniol]

Hello, I'm new here. I've been playing Metroid Dread since last weekend and I'm on my 2nd run now. This game could be my GOTY

I think @mazi closed the poll and said the majority wanted to stick with 400 pages / 20,000 posts

Although I still really like the idea of a monthly thread

 

[MissingNo.]

I just realised that I haven't even made half of my total posts on this board in this specific ST. Couldn't have been me back on that board.

So yeah, take this is an official FamiBoards appreciation post.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Welcome and congrats on the good taste.

Have you heard about our Lord and Saviour, Sin & Punishment?

 

[Skittzo]

Since Dread hype is slowly fading and I'm onto other things should I change back my avatar to the towerface with Banjo?

The Monthly thread IS a good idea… hmmm… I guess we’ll stick to a 40,000 post thread. Maybe we can revisit the idea later on.

honestly i like it too, but i don't think the majority would support it.

 

[MissingNo.]

Yeah. I plan on changing my avatar to something else next week, but I will bring this one back as an annual Halloween season avatar.

 

[Chippy]

It’s N64 Day!

Except the controllers haven’t shipped yet so it’s not N64 Day!

No sign of shipping here either. Ordered off the German store. Would have been nice if they actually sent them so you could have them on time.
Will definitely hold off on signing up until the controller arrives

 

[Skittzo]

honestly i like it too, but i don't think the majority would support it.

FWIW I voted 200 pages too, I think monthly would be much better than 400 pages. It'll revitalize the thread each month with a new OP, new title, it'll be something very fun to look forward to at the start of the month.

Poll be damned!

What if we DID A MONTHLY THREAD ANYWAY
SCREW THE POLLS

stop… the steal? naw you know what let’s not

it's too soon for the site to go full authoritarian

 

[Red Monster]

Monthly wasn't an option in the poll though. The results aren't scientific!

 

[Skittzo]

I guess that's why our name is Famiboards and not Fasciboards.

 

[mazi]

should we do another poll? i can do that if people want.

 

[deiniol]

I just looked it up and it seems interesting. I'm playing SM64 first though

 

[Derachi]

Yeah, maybe. I think the idea of Monthly Threads would be popular.

 

[Skittzo]

Yeah I feel like people should reconsider the 400 page thing. I don't quite understand why so many voted for it, maybe with a few more options we'll see a different outcome.

Yeah, maybe. I think the idea of Monthly Threads would be popular.

Better yet, weekly polls!

 

[Derachi]

Better yet, weekly polls!

If we don’t run a poll every hour on the hour what are we EVEN DOING

 

[MisterSpo]

Personally I think each thread should have a different number of posts. Each OP is given the number for their thread in a sealed envelope, and when their thread starts, they open the envelope and learn the number of permitted posts in their thread, commit it to memory, and eat the letter plus envelope which contained the information.

This is really the only reasonable way of doing it.

 

[SuperFakerBros]

Will we ever get folders on Switch? I wanna sort my icons, dammit!

Tell me about it. Hell, go one step beyond and give me folders inside of folders. I wanna properly organize all of my games and apps, thank you very much! Makes it much easier to keep track of everything

and if their thread ends up having even one more post than the permitted limit they'll get squid-game'd.
i haven't watched the show i don't really know how it works

 

[Weebos]

Monthly threads make the most sense to me.

Also makes it easier to give threads themes.

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

waiting for s&p

 

[Derachi]

waiting for s&p

when you’re at a restaurant and your soup is flavourless but they didn’t leave salt or pepper shakers at the table and the waitress has to go to the back to get them for you

 

[Bonejack]

I'm honestly fine with everything, monthly threads, 200 pages threads, 400 pages threads ... do what you want and it's fine.

 

[SuperFakerBros]

Only until Sin & Punishment 2 is remastered.

That's the type of out of nowhere remaster I can get behind

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

I'm starting to get worried about your palate, friend

 

[Derachi]

I'm starting to get worried about your palate, friend

Don’t worry about my palate! It’s fine! Spending my early teenage years chugging hot sauce directly from the bottle didn’t cause any irreparable harm!

My joke was mostly about you calling it S&P, the same acronym the “we send you meals in a box that you make yourself“ service my girlfriend and I subscribe to call Salt and Pepper.
