And I thought my issues were because the dongle was bad. I mean, it’s still bad (lack of shielding) but I thought it was a range issue.

Nintendo has a bad track record on this though, the recent Donkey Kong release has this issue.

A JSAUX Dock, Vader 3 controller, and Phillips SHP9500 headphones.

MK8 is amazing. I was actually playing it again this weekend with my kid, the Wii U version. It’s fantastic.

That’s what the hard shell case is for, just prop it on top of it

That’s a shame. I remember I was very impressed by this game when I played it back then! I didn’t finish it though.

Good to know it runs well! Games from that era sometimes are very picky with controllers. Try this:

Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown

I used to be stricter with that. Now I consider retro any platform that are 2 generations behind (for the ones still active in the market). So PS3/360 and earlier.

I didn’t play the others to say it for myself. People have said exploration is more organic on the other games of the series.

I liked the gameplay but I disliked the mechanic of having to beat an arbitrary amount of bosses to unlock the next area.

Awesome! My first was Samus Returns on 3DS and I heard it isn’t the best to start with. I’ll try this one!

That’s the major factor in play here for me to get it

I loved mine so much!

Hopefully it has better buttons! I have a R36S and it has a nice screen and performance for the price but I dislike the buttons.

And here’s me replaying some of those and using save states like a mad man

RP5, but shipping is a pain. I can’t wait!

Looks great! I’m waiting for a Retroid to ship, meanwhile I have a R36S.

I would never do this but it is fucking amazing. Great job!

Mine is docked in a utility cart with a 27” monitor on top 70% of the time. I love these ideas 🤣

That’s how I’ve been treating any other dev that mistreats the Deck, Rockstar won’t be different. That’s how it should be.

I played both ports on Steam recently as I’m taken by a Sonic nostalgia wave. One thing that I like more in the original Adventure is that I can skip the characters I don’t like. But I have mixed feelings with the Sonic levels - there’s just too much camera and collision problems in the way. The second game fixes some of that, but the Tails and Knuckles levels are kinda boring.

Overall, I liked the games. My nostalgia was satisfied.
