Does motion control kill it? And yeah, the GC version is around $70-90 while the Wii version is $10-30. If there are any "refinements", I don't know about them...as far as I know, it's the same game. They just swapped out the traditional controls, and as consequence, mirrored all of the maps/models in the game (to make Link right-handed). It really messes with your head Motion controls I guess is a matter of opinion...aiming and firing the bow is pretty decent, but swinging the sword isn't Motion+ like SS, it's just "waggle to mash the A button", and it killed my wrist real fast. Either way, I would suggest going in with low expectations. Some parts of the game are pretty cool and memorable, but on the whole, it's one of the worst Zelda games. Not that that's so terrible, IMO a bad Zelda game is still a lot better than the other stuff out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that that's so terrible, IMO a bad Zelda game is still a lot better than the other stuff out there I mean, since I haven't played either version I wouldn't have a problem with the mirrored view. I prefer controller controls over motion controls but not so much so that I would pay an extra $60. My current expectations for any Zelda game is pretty low since the only one I've properly played is the original NES title. Some people argue that TP is the best Zelda game, so whatever anyone thinks about the game is just what they think; it's subjective. Either way, I won't be expecting a lot from anything.

Iwantgames:) Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Just got a ps3 (again) the other day with 20games and a tote full of skylanders and Disney Infinity figures for $100. And today I grabbed some more games. Didn’t pay sticker price, ended up closer to $3 each 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you have a WiiU, that version has the best of both worlds IIRC, "second quest" is mirror mode. Though I think the waggle is completely gone? But yeah, if you don't mind the mirror or the waggle, Wii version is probably really cheap now (plus, you can use it to easily soft mod your Wii, if you haven't already). The original NES game is still my favorite, though BotW is really, really good. Link to the Past and Link's Awakening are way up there. Not sure what the fifth game in my "top five" would be... I've never heard anyone call TP the best game o_O Most people give that award to OoT (though I disagree). It certainly tries to rekindle that OoT feeling, especially after people dogged Majora's Mask and Wind Waker.

I've never played the PS3 versions of either game, but either way, they are probably just as awesome as the PC/PS4 versions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 What if I don't own any hardware? You can use CEMU and Dolphin like I do. They both work great with a PS4/Xbox controller. If you have bluetooth then you can also play 2 player games with 2 PS4 controllers wirelessly. I have an older i7 12gb of DDR3 and a 1060GTX. Everything runs very smoothly at 60fps at 1080p in CEMU and most games work in 4k60 on Dolphin. You have access to the entire Zelda library of titles, except the newest released Hyrule Warriors Switch game. I haven’t given Yuzu much play but it seems promising so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejay Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 I finally bought Ocarina of Time. Now that I have plenty of money to spend (but not really) and really nowhere else to spend it on, I'm buying a bunch of games I wanted to play. I suppose Wind Waker and Link's Awakening might be joining my collection soon, perhaps even Zelda II and A Link to the Past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamchevy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 And the Link's Awakening remake remake? [emoji6] That’s true you need Citra for 3DS games and the other GBA/gameboy emulators for those handhelds. Yuzu can handle Links Awakening at 60fps. There are plenty of good Snes emulators that have been around for many years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe people were being freaks and using the Nintendo eShop inside of the WiiU emulator or something crazy like that @_@ Didn't know they had a 3DS emulator. Always seemed kind of silly to me to emulate a handheld on a PC, where the novelty of being able to pull a game out of your pocket is lost. You'd still be out of luck for the DSi Four Swords, though...unless they did figure out how to crack it. Really a shame that they only offered it for a limited time. Ohhhh, I see now, the picture of Barbosa was supposed to represent piracy...I thought you were talking about ways to emulate legally purchased discs on a PC (since a good number of Zelda games were released on disc). I was trying to figure out how you could do that with the cartridge games without buying hardware to dump them with. Also didn't know they had a Switch emulator. So it'll run LA, but not Hyrule Warriors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluejay Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 (edited) This isn't what's normally posted here, but I bought $500's worth of components to manufacture 5 of 3 different projects. Shit turned out to cost more than expected, especially with the more rare/bigger components like the 16x2 LCD and DB19 connectors taking a big chunk. But various ICs and stuff from mouser ended up costing a bunch as well. I won't make any profit from the first batch, if anything I'm losing money. But I didn't start this project to make dough in the first place, so it doesn't really matter. The price ended up being that high because I bought lots of spares in case there were problems. I don't have money to afford spares but I'd rather loan money from my parents than risk being short of components because I made a mistake.

Keatah Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Well all that bullshit aside - I just got me a set of 86 logic chips for the Apple II+. All nice and laid out on a board that seems to work fine. When it comes time to effect a repair, it'll be a pluck'n'stuff operation. From this board to that board.

Turbo-Torch Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The 130XE never got much love due to the hassles of using the SIO2PC cable I built back in the 90s. SDrive-Max just arrived and I have to say it's really slick for only $60 bucks! This is up there with my Harmony Encore and FreHD. SD storage devices are the best thing to ever happen to this hobby. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
