Beat Nightmare on Elm Street on the NES yesterday. Pretty straight forward game but it seemed pretty lazy with the repeat assets and bosses. Once you get the Dream Warrior power up the game gets way easier. And Freddy at the end was a breeze compared to the boss rush prior.

Really wished more people can over from Vintage Retro Game Club. I talked to a few people from there in the final days. It was the ONLY form of social media they used. Mainly because it was easy to access and they were on their Xbox anyway. I still keep in touch with RetroGameGeek from time to time too.

They are all very different style of RPG.
Landstalker is a isometric ARPG.
LadyStalker is a isometric SRPG
Dark Savior is a isometric fighting RPG with multiple endings.
Time Stalkers is a isometric JRPG with pokemon style elements.

Evidently if you guys are planning on getting Castlevania Belmonts Revenge, don't get it on Switch or Switch 2. It runs in the sub 30FPS and has all kinds of pairing back to the visuals. This is crazy. It's a 2D platformer. No reason for it to run this poorly on the Switch.

I have enjoyed the Climax series of games. Though not directly connected (sorta) it's in the same universe.

I have read that too but that was a few days ago. But with it going directly into Gamepass I expected most of the people to play it there. This also attributes to the time played. So many people have nothing to lose by giving it a shot and playing it for less than a few hours.
Halo Infinite, Forza and Halo CE have similar issues. Gamepass is a gift and a curse.

I respect your opinion but the facts are that they had 3.2 million players since last week. The second largest Xbox launch this year next to Forza Horizon 6s 5.7 million.
Sales no longer matter. With over 2 million of the 3.2 playing on Gamepass. Myself included. I'm just over an hour in and blown away. I haven't seen all the "wokeness" I keep hearing about but the game already has give me 2 "HOLY SHIT" moments.

Got this on Saturday. Loved playing it as a kid and playing part 1 on Antstream. Been at it all day and can't get past level 4. The auto scrolling one with the Kracken chasing you. Any pointers for those who beat it?

RE: https://retro-gaiden.com/@dailysms/117427824863090416
The Game Gear version is almost identical to this one. Great game and has a different vibe than Castlevania but still very much a rip off.

Watched some of [@Oregon_Pacifist](https://retro-gaiden.com/@Oregon_Pacifist ) stream last night. Looks like Castlevania 64 and Legacy of Darkness only share the same assets. Other than that its a completely different game. Like LoD is a ROM Hack of Castlevania 64.

Introduced my wife and kids to Pet Cemetery last night. Boy were they in for a surprise. My kids think anything old is lame and my wife expects my movie choices to be testosterone filled kill fest.
My kids were hiding under blankets and my wife was in disbelief at the semi truck/kid part. They were scared, uncomfortable and couldn't believe this movie was ever released. I, as a dad and a husband became victorious last night.

2026-10-03 15:27:12 UTC

Picked this up yesterday. Gonna see how it compares to Legacy of Darkness.

What's cool is that if you have a old Xbox One laying around you can use that to claim your digital license for games. Even Xbox Series X physical games. Just pop it in your XBO and claim then download the game on your all digital Xbox Series X or S.

PSA: Microsoft launched its Disc to Digital program for all Xbox users. The program let's you put in the disc into your Series X or Xbox One console and claim the digital license for that game that can be played anywhere the game is supported sans disc. You just have to be signed in.
IMO this is the correct way forward for physical games. Just over 2000 Xbox One and Series X titles are supported and 1 Xbox 360 game so far. With more getting added every week.

The momentum is different for sure but not horrible. The art style of 4 also put alot of people off since it wasn't 16 bit looking. I personally think 4 looks great and feels like a natural progression of the series.

2026-09-24 00:53:23 UTC

Was bored the other day and started browsing my digital library of games and decided to play Sonic 4: Episode 2. I was told for years it was crap. They lied to me. Chances are they lied to you too. It's a fantastic game. Too bad it was delisted. It also is backwards compatible with Xbox Series X and S. Makes it look extra sharp.

If anyone is interested in getting a Retro Stage, they have opened up pre-orders for the United States again. If you're unfamiliar with what a Retro Stage is, it is a device where you can load any game to a specialized cartridge to play on real hardware. You just provide the ROM that you totally own. They also offer a ROM dumper to put your games on PC.
Systems they support:
-NES
-SNES
-Genesis/32X
-Game Gear
-GameBoy
-Nintendo 64
-Gameboy Advance

Or it's 99% slop. 17 copies of SMB for $40 a piece loose, beat up. Or $50 for a untested Daytona USA with no case, manual or inserts. You ask to see the disc and they say they don't have time for that.
