I’m at 68 stars so far, and I don’t think I’ll aim for 120—this old game isn’t exactly easy. I’m curious if the N64 analog stick might be better suited for this than the sticks on modern Xbox controllers.

Even playing starfox 64 - let alone goldeneye… the n64 controllers while odd- everything was very made to fit the controller and how it was- it does not translate well to any mapping of a modern controller really lol

Nerd game alert: I started to play The Message from Deep Space. It's a game about communicating with aliens except you start from absolute scratch and little by little you develop a communication system. It is arid and some affinity with math, logic, programming and/or linguistics is required, but it's pretty engrossing how you build a language from universal things. The game seems pretty damn long also. I am 7 hours in and still in Act 2 for a game that has like 14 acts! HowLongToBeat suggests 46 hours. I'll let you know.

Yeah, I can imagine. I might give SFox64 a try now since I just finished M64.

Starcom: Nexus. Beat this a few days ago. Great adventure with a good story and crazy twists. Decent 2-d top-down space combat.




Playing the sequel as I write this. I doubt that it's going to be a better story than Nexus, but we'll see. It's got a murderous technophobe cult and a certain alien race just pissed me the fuck off with some Pearl Harbor type bullshit and now i'm in a genocidal mood. So it's off to a good start,

I've had both of these games on my Wishlist for a long time. I may just pull the trigger.

I bought a Switch 2 to play with the wife. I got it takes 2 based on the pig video Utnayan Utnayan posted. Unfortunately, she just cannot get used to the controller. I do recall how hard it was for me at first and I don't want to discourage her. She can do Mario Kart alright though. I still kick her ass, I am not throwing a game. you win you earn it!

um yeah that's what I meant. Not sure where I came up with it takes 2. She cannot grasp the controller so it doesn't matter.

Real talk if she wants to learn and you enjoy playing with her print out a large basic poster that says what the buttons do. You put it right below or right next to the TV. I did this with my wife years ago and now the bottom button is always X and the top is always triangle no matter what controller she’s using and she no longer has to look down.

The Lego games are great co-op low pressure tools to learn. Fighting games give a thrill. And any kind of arcade game like Mario kart are easy to learn hard to master.

she struggles with 1 thumbstick. I was trying to show her how to use the right one to move the camera and it was not taking. I don't want to discourage her either. I can see what you suggest blowing up in my face when she thinks I'm calling her dumb. Lego game is a good idea. Wonder if Nintendo wants $70 for a decade old lego remake.
