Well, I just started thinking about upgrading to the Xbox One X. I don't have the TV for 4K but I would like higher performance. The new one. . . I think it's the Xbox Series X or something? It's interesting, and if I was well employed I wouldn't think twice about getting it, but right now i'll probably wait. I also want to see what games might come exclusive to it. That's usually what pushes me over the edge in getting a new system. Also, they will likely offer it with monthly payment plans which might get me in the door earlier. I hope to see more of it soon, but isn't E3 cancelled or something? 

I remember being so into sports games but these days it doesn't interest me much. I do look out for a good arcade style sports game though like Super Mega Baseball or Everyone's Golf. I will try a sim though if Game Pass makes me do it for a Quest Reward. Heck, maybe I'd get interested again.  

It'd be a beat 'em up for sure. 

Japanese versions are easier? I always thought the Japanese versions must be harder and they made things easier for the American audience. But I noticed on the Konami shooter collection I have that achievements aren't allowed on the Japanese versions of the games, which suggests they are easier. I guess my preconceptions were wrong. 

In the 90s, my friend Mark and I had both SNES and Genesis, gotten from flea markets maybe a few years after they came out. I think we played more Genesis because of games like PGA Golf, Shining in the Darkness, Monopoly and Risk, but we also played DKC, Contra Alien Wars and NBA Jam on SNES. So maybe it's a tie actually. I don't remember making any distinction between the two other than games seemed to be cheaper for Genesis. I always wanted various RPGs for SNES but could never find them for a reasonable enough price used. I'm dying to play Yoshi's Island right now and Super Mario RPG. 

About Contra though. I want to get that collection on Xbox right now, but I remember those games being so darn hard. But I might get it anyway at least for Alien Wars. 

Ah well. I might try the Space Invaders inspired Doughlings game once I'm finished with Doughlings Arcade. 

That sounds cool. I want an excuse to try No Man's Sky again. 

I remember playing Uncharted 1 when it came out on PS3. I think I rented it. I liked it pretty well but I didn't play any of the others 'til much later. 

Xbox One used to not let you capture video or screenshots from 360 games, but now they do. 

That's the extractor device in my left hand. It does look like I'm about to explode the fish, doesn't it. 

So far, I've been fine with the controls in Dante's Inferno. I mostly use this dash move with my cross for bigger foes that works really well since I improved it with relics and skill boosts. 

I keep telling myself to just use streaming and forget collecting, but it's in my blood. 

I got to thinking about Galaga and the time it came out in arcades. It's quite complex compared to the other games out during that time, especially in the behavior of the enemy ships.
