Dragon Warrior was my first exposure to console RPGs, along with the NES version of Ultima III. Its reminded me a bit of Alternate Reality, an Atari 8-bit RPG, though that game was in first-person mode for exploring as well as fighting. I'm still a fan of the series.
Capcom considered the "real" RE3 to be Code: Veronica. RE3 was originally a spinoff, and was retitled as RE3 to satisfy an exclusivity agreement with Sony. Given that it was released when the PS1 was on its way out, and in the same time frame as the Dreamcast and bigger games like Final Fantasy VIII, RE3 kind of got lost in the shuffle.
I played the Adventurer's Edition of Pitfall II on Atari 8-bit. The second cavern was brutal.
FFT was the game that got me into tactical games. I did play Desert Commander on NES (which looked very much like Advance Wars) and a huge tactical game about the Napoleonic Wars, but FFT was a gateway drug to games like Disgaea, Sakura Wars, and Valkyria Chronicles. I did a BaD on FFTA a couple years ago.
I have Scramble on PS1, and I played the Atari 8-bit version of Super Cobra. There was a really good knockoff of Scramble on the TRS-80 called Penetrator.
This is a great game. I'm playing it now. Between this, Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4, Xenoblade Chronicles, plus the upcoming releases of Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, and hopefully Dragon Quest XI S, the Switch is becoming an RPG and arcade dream machine.
The remaster has content that wasn't in the 360 version. Namco did that with a lot of its 360 titles. They made them limited exclusives in exchange for money from Microsoft, then released better versions on PS3 once the exclusivity window was up.
I've dabbled in streaming but it's been over a year since I did. I've never shown my face on YouTube.
I guess they don't have Kinect for Xbox anymore?
This was a bit surprising. Labo isn't my cup of tea now, but I probably would have been all over it when I was a kid. I got a lot of these kinds of kits and add-ons when I was a kid. It's a pretty neat concept and pretty interesting how Nintendo made the Switch work with cardboard.
I haven't dusted off the Vita in awhile. On the Switch, I've been doing Vesperia and old arcade games lately.
