I hope this isn't another Mighty No. 9.

I never was into Banjo however I am constantly looking for games to complete my game console experience.

I had visitors today and we played Lethal League, we play Pac-Man 256 at night because the multiplayer is awesome. And we play Disco Dodgeball sometimes.

I just started playing CS:GO with Xbox 360 Controller on my Steam Box, and I gotta say it immediately perked my interest as my Halo 3 strategy and style is more transient than it is via keyboard.

I'll collect all old and new games that fill a place from the 90s.

Wonderful, I have eyed this game up of course nowadays I really go for the console experience - so Cross Platform, Controller Support, Cloud Sync, and Local Multiplayer are a big deal for me.

I think it's time I add it back to my wish list after purging all wish list items.

Quoting: burnallThis will be the closest thing to Starcraft on Linux then, I guess.

Wow I never realised it was a RTS. This could be big in my book.

Though, AMDGPU plays StarCraft 2 wine like a champ (If only the Map Editor worked so gracefully.)

Fsck. I just started beige playing 2 days ago. It's so bad I was up till 5 am last night throwing down bundles at the community center.

I haven't had this reaction with a game since Terraria 2011 or Metal Gear Solid 2.

Is this that game everyone was super upset and mad at? If so is it fixed now?

Ah now is the perfect time to remind me why I have never bought a Nintendo Console after Wii.

A long time ago on a cold November night I camped out to get a Nintendo WII on launch - 2nd in line I waited for 2 days with friends and I purchased Twilight Princess and the extended warranty.

Fast forward about 1.9 years and the DVD drive breaks. (Oh no problem - I have a 2 year warranty I thought to myself.) Calling Nintendo resulted in Tech support from what I presumed sounded like a 17 year old girl who insisted that I repeat powering on and off and pressing the A button on my controller instead of listening to my diagnostic or notation of problems. But alas, powering on and off the device did not avail.

She told me I should go to the brick and mortar shop where I bought it and have the warranty replace it. I said that I had bought a lot of games on the Wii Shop -- well over $200 in games NES, SNES, N64 (you name it I bought it) and I needed to have them transfer my account to the new console.

She told me that I wouldn't be able to move any of my purchases to the new console, I forgot the exact BS she excuse she gave me.

So I decided to wait and keep my DLC until the warranty was on the last day and I decided fsck it. I Go in to replace the unit so I could play DVD games again and the store informs me that their warranty center HQ is closed which is located somewhere far away or something I presume and that they can't make good of the warranty I purchased.

So in recollection I bought a Nintendo and an expensive warranty (60-100$?) and they both fsck'ed me over. Twilight Princess wasn't even "brilliant" it was "good", but not "A Link to the Past" good, or "Ocarina of Time" good.

This is why I don't buy Nintendo Games, DLC, etc... and only buy games on Linux that I know will work quite probably for the rest of my life.

I fully support emulation, go ahead and buy the discs, create .iso backups or whatever and play via Disc or ISO.

Not to mention the Anti Aliasing on Nintendo Wii was extremely terrible - rendering at 1080p or 4k requires better AA and resolution to not make the game look like they're stuck in a Time Warp.

You can use the Wii Controllers via Bluetooth and a Wireless Sensor Bar (5$ Ebay?) on Linux PC if you like too.

Nintendo can go jump in a volcano and never come back, and take those damn Miibos or whatever the hell they're called - those crooks are worse than Micro Pay becuase now you have to buy a 60$ game + 20 x $10 toys just to play - $260 to play the new Super Smash Bros, and wait there's more, 60$ for the game, and what 200-300$ for the Console and + $50 per extra controller, and don't forget that each controller will require some $20 accessory, wheel, nunchuck or some other crap.

With Steam & Linux it's simple - games cost between $5-60, a Steam Controller is like $50, a GPU is $150-300 for a decent one.

So FSCK Nintendo, or dd if=/dev/zero of=/Nintendo.

The endless cycle of consuming controllers, accessories, game discs, bookshelf to hold the game cases, game consoles is a nightmare. Console Gen 2 doesn't play Console Gen 1 games, Console Gen 3 require's SD Cards, Console Gen 4 require's RFIQ Potatoes, Console Gen 5 is BluRay but can't play Console Gen 2's DVD. Console Gen 6 requires that you repurchase games in the form of DLC at a premium price because it wont play the DVD/Cartridge you already own.

All these jerks want to extract as much cash as possible while fscking everyone and everything they can.



Meanwhile gaming on Linux be like:
