+adamchevy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 I love my Wii U. I actually just started using Wii Fit U today. It was fun, and a few of the yoga moves were pretty tough. I realized I don’t know how to use a hula hoop very well. I really love the Eshop! My current favorite game is Kirby’s Return to Dreamland. It’s only $20 on the Eshop! Compared to 40-50$ on eBay it’s a really good deal! I think I might need a physical version of this game. It’s honestly one of the most fun games I’ve ever played. I came across it randomly on the Eshop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profholt82 Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Stopped by a local shop last night, didn't find much, but you definitely don't see PC Engine/Turbo stuff often, so I had to snag the controller. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dopy25 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 One of the local veterans thrift stores had a 50% off sale on electronics so I picked up a few cables. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Pendleton Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Well, here it is. This is what I was talking about the other day. I ordered this before the arcade stick, but the stick got here first. Can you think of a better first game to buy this year than Sonic 06? I sure can, but that didn't stop me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the 8K version I have on that cart is the hack by Nukey Shay. This is not the other 8K version of Pac-Man for the 2600. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm kinda a purist, with the Vectrex controllers(where I play for high scores, it's required), even have a video on the oohtube, showing how to safely remove the plastic sticker/cover, for repairs(don't as me how to do repairs, lol, I'm not smart, just careful...), not a lot of views, but more than most of my vids, and has been pretty helpful to people. That said, so many people have problems with them, the Vectorlink does seem like a good idea, for the system to continue to be played in years to come. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ls650 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 A couple of months ago I bought a Hyperkin Trooper and really like it. It has a design very similar to the old CX joystick from Atari, but is a bit more sturdy and hefty. I saw pics of the Hyperkin Ranger and thought the built-in paddle knob was interesting. So I ordered one. I just played some Ladybug and some Kaboom with it. Hmm, not so convinced it's as good of a controller as the Trooper. I'll have to play with it some more and see what I think... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your assessment regarding the Hyperkin Trooper. I myself am a purist when it comes to using real deal joysticks when playing Atari consoles, so I was skeptical. Previously used a 2600 Stelladaptor for my emulation needs, but it's a clunky setup. Bought the Trooper 2 which has additional shoulder and front buttons, and it works quite well. The joystick throw is a bit longer than a stock CX-40, but it's actually a joy to use once you adjust a bit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purist, too, but I swear... The flashback CX-40's are the way to go. Feels like yur gonna break them all the time, and you might, but they just respond really well, once you get used to them. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pair of Flashback 2.0 CX-40s and they do feel almost like the real thing (albeit a bit more plasticky). That being said the Trooper 2 has the extra buttons which makes playing Stella a bit more convenient since I have select/reset and the difficulty switches mapped to them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only had one friend with a 2600 woody as a kid. I don't remember if it was 4 or 6 switch. But the main thing was the button ws on the left. And for a lefty it was a pain to use. I got the original trooper and the biggest thing was the 2 buttons. They both do the same thing. But at least I can use the stick with my left hand and the button with my right. No more reaching over to the left like when I was a kid. So much better. Not sure what the version 2 of the trooper has to offer. But the first trooper is not bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
