    I own a few of these on switch to play handheld. But mame and emulation on my pc makes it difficult to justify buying these games. 😬

    I have the exact opposite attachment to Mario 64 DS. When I was a kid, my parents were emotionally abusive. Every time I left my room, they would find a reason to yell at me, and usually punish me. I was constantly degraded, depressed, and suicidal. One of very few bright spots was when I managed to acquire a DS lite and Super Mario 64. I would sit in my room, out of sight and out of mind from my parents, and play Mario. It was the safest I ever felt at the time. There's no parents in the mushroom kingdom. No one to yell at you or ground you. I still play that game from time to time well over a decade later.

    street fighter alpha 3 PSP is a better port All these arcade collections are on all platforms and PC. no Collection has a good video filter the nintendo switch has a lot of input lag If you want to play an online match, the best option is PC. SF collection is INCOMPLETE on Switch, sf4 should be included

  • @SquarePegs
    @SquarePegs19 сағат бұрын

    Never played the PSP port, because it's form factor isn't terribly comfortable for me. I don't really play fighting games handheld because of that. Sure, they absolutely are. I just prefer them on the Switch because I can take them with me. That's your opinion. I don't use any screen filters 9 times out of 10 because they always look like shit, but some are better than others. All modern consoles have some measure of input lag if you're playing with a wireless controller. If you're playing competitively, no shit you not playing on the Switch. If you're not, then 6-8ms of input delay isn't going to deter you from playing a game. Not an online player, so this means nothing to me. Then the SF30th collection is incomplete on literally every console because it wasn't included anywhere else, either.

Split Second is NOW one of my all-time favorite racing games. You will love it too.

    The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection is not just some arcade ports, they are all arcade ports. Basically you get a package of 12 of the best mainline Street Fighter legacy arcade games with the only exceptions being that it doesn't include spinoffs (Pocket Fighter, Super Puzzle Fighters II Turbo, Street Fighter EX), fillers (Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition, Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, and Hyper Street Fighter Alpha), and license arcade games (Street Fighter: The Movie the Game).

    Looks like a really fun day you guys had. So weird that you guys were that close to Holland. I would have thought it was further away but then I'm not great with geography 🤷🏼‍♀️ Steve Craig is the man. He's making us all spend money on Xbox 360 and I'm okay with that! I love the Castlevania series as well! I'm torn whether I should play them on the collection or play it OG. I've played all the DS and 3DS one.... Was certainly not disappointed. Hell yeah on the big Sega Genesis pickup. I won't spoil it in the comments but we also have it as well and the label is a bit dingy. Who cares as long as you can play it right?! Great video my friend 😊
