I loved Metroid: Zero Mission. It is one of the very few remakes I really like, and I also felt like the post-regular game stealth stuff was actually pretty good. Ninja Kid was originally based on the manga/anime GeGeGe no Kitaro in Japan before getting stripped of the license in the US. I accidentally discovered that years ago when I got the Famicom original in an ebay lot, and it all makes a lot more sense with the license all about spirits and youkai. It does get monotonous no matter how you slice it, though!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you liked Zero Mission. It really was a great game! I'm still not sure why people didn't like the ending. I just looked up Gegege no kitaro on PS1, and the art style is insane! I really appreciate all of your support!
Wow, 2600 paddle controller, what a throwback! I have to believe that this was a holdover from all the Pong-like games that were popular earlier in the 70s, before the 2600 was released. I recall playing Night Driver on the 2600 with that controller. Good times. About as “immersive” as the co sole could get, at that stage. I think I did play one shooter-ish game wit ph the 2600 paddle - it was called Demons to Diamonds. Really unconventional, you had a beam that would be extended to hit targets in further rows. In some ways it almost felt like a shooting gallery. Really quirky but I did have fun with it, way back in the day. Thanks for triggering that memory! I never played Solar Storm, but Imagic has some other bangers on that machine. Demon Attack still holds up very well for what it is. And I also recall Cosmic Ark and Atlantis.
It's such a good controller! The reason they used it was because potentiometer technology had been around forever and worked well... and was readily available to buy off the shelf. It was definitely a holdover from the Pong Days. I played Demons to Diamonds last year and enjoyed it!
@@RNGGamerYT I also remember a slightly different controller for the 2600, called the “driving” controller. Cosmetically , it looked practically identical to the paddle controller. However, while the paddle controller could be turned “only so far” to the left before it would stop - and same with the right - the driving controller could be turned left or right indefinitely. I think there were very few games compatible with the driving controller. The only one I recall was Indy 500, which was similar to the old Super Sprint top-down racers.
I wish the Gegege No Kitaro (Ninja Kid) series would get translated for western audiences, it looks like a really interesting series. You should check out the PS1 game, it's difficult, but it's 2d sprites and is a fantastic looking game. Expensive though, so you may need to emulate it.
I just looked up Gegege no Kitaro on the PS1, and the graphics are inane! I don't think I've ever seen a game that looks quite like that. It's also $500 😅
@@RNGGamerYT I have it on the switch, it’s in my backlog as well lol. I played it briefly for a few minutes when I first got it but haven’t dived into it. One of these days I’ll find time
I said it before and I'll say it again. I love that you play your games randomly. It really is something I aspire to WANT to do but every time I go to choose a game I'll look up how long it takes to be there and the metacritic review even though I don't always agree with the reviews 😂😂😂😂 Metroid zero mission is one I definitely want to play and I want to say I'll do it this year but God knows. I've said that 8,000 times....I need to start making a list 😂
Thanks for watching! It's all about staying organized and on top of things. I try not to play games that don't interest me, so there aren't a lot of times that a game gets picked that I'm actually dreading. Of course, I always check out the metacritic reviews as well 😅 Go ahead and knock out Zero Mission, it's pretty short. You won't regret it
When I'm passionate about a game I'm playing or I know that i can beat the game im playing if did like a 6 hour or 8 hour session then I will go on for that long. Like last Friday I wound up getting sucked into my new game + run of Tales of the Abyss
That's awesome! I feel like I rarely have more than an hour or two to play these days. So, something like that is an anomaly for me. I'm intrigued you got into Tales of the Abyss. I tried playing it a few years ago and really didn't enjoy it.
@RNGGamerYT it's my favorite game of all time. Also I only work 4 days a week from Monday thru Thursday and on the weekends I usually have plenty of free time to just play games
rng, i take it they don't have a paddle controller on the ps5 because i really want to play jeff minter's tempest 4000. will you be playing tlou pt.2 no return newest mode
I have tempest 4000 and it's in the backlog. Luckily, it was designed to be played with an analog stick. Still, a paddle controller would have been incredible. I have a passing interest in No Return, but I need to learn a little more about it. Does it require an online connection?
Some interesting games here. I should have picked up Kirby Air Ride when I used to see it, but there were always higher priority games to pick up. And now it just feels hard to justify paying what it usually goes for. And Zero Mission, I've played before, but had a lot of fun with it on your streams. The interesting one here for me though is Solar Storm. Now I've never had a lot of love for the Atari. I didn't get into video games much as a kid until the NES. Most Atari games have always been a little too simple to hold my attention very long. I did pick up an Atari lot maybe 10 years ago, but I've only had it hooked up a couple of times because my hands always cramp up after 5 minutes with a joysticks, and most of the best games I have in compilations on other consoles. However, the Atari I picked up did include the paddle controllers, which I have never used. I am going to have to track down a copy of Solar Storm and try it out. So I have to ask, are there are any other games that you'd recommend playing with the paddle controllers as being the superior way to experience that game? You've totally sold me on trying out the paddle controllers now.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Zero Mission streams! I'm also surprised that Air Ride goes for any money at all. I figured it was a $10 game or something... The very best 2600 game is Kaboom! It's on the paddle controllers. It's an absolute blast!
@@RNGGamerYT Haha, I used to see Air Ride often for $20-25, now it goes for around $80. I'm priced out of the market on pretty much anything on the Gamecube that I didn't get around to picking up years ago, unless I happen to luck into something. And thanks, I'll definitely be on the lookout for a copy of Kaboom!
I could have done that. But I was testing out the cartridge and had already played for several hours before realizing you couldn't save. Having to restart on an emulator was too daunting at that point 😅
I tried to give it a fair try! I didn't hate it... but there isn't much there to make it worth it either. Thanks for all of your support! I really appreciate it
@@RNGGamerYT oh sorry to hear that! Is there any possibility you could share your file? I have a huge collection and I do need some motivation for playing the games! 🙃
Kirby Air Ride's LAN mode is something I recently tried out of the first time and now it's something me and my friends play almost every game night. Having the screen to yourself is amazing, however the BBA and game is very expensive so it's not an easy thing to get going.
@@RNGGamerYT lol, I just paint cars with a GoPro on my head. But thanks. Currently playing DKR 64 man it's fun, I forgot how difficult it was but I haven't given up yet!!

The stuff he did with Dillinger was insane... well as insane as usual 😅

@sfbsfb yeah! It's the Racing controller. It spins all the way around instead of having a stopping point. You use it for Indy 500
I used to love Kirby Airride!! That was my jam. And Super Metroid is one of my favorites of all time! Great video!

@grimmbilly9263 I'm sure it being associated with a long running Manga series makes it pricy
Awesome video man, that Strife Sisters looks super cool! Really interested in that when it has a save feature for sure!
Thanks, brother! I really appreciate it.
I'm looking forward to the DX version as well.
