@StarServal, you mean patents (not copyright), since it is about inventions.

And there is at least one hall effect controller patent that already expired. It is from 1988, so hall effect joysticks are not a new thing at all.

@ngwoo, I really enjoyed the old text-based ones when I was younger. I played the original Where in the World and I think so the Where in Time. But those were early gaming days and I was younger too.

So I'm curious, but not too excited.

@picandocodigo

@Zyratoxx, it’s going to be Switch 64 and it’ll simply be Switch Line with 64 GiB eMMC and a flap cover 😅 (SCNR)

@Wussy

@slimerancher, dunno about Tetris 99, but I totally switched to Tetris Effect and love it. That one is still very alive online.

@mysteriouscinderella

@CosmicSploogeDrizzle, that just made it more interesting to me.

In the video it seemed like Sonic moved differently than in the classic 2D games.

@cyanide, you mean Hacienda?

@TORFdot0, Phantom is the best character in _any_ Mario game IMHO :blobaww: @slimerancher

@picandocodigo,

@NickKnight

@picandocodigo, check out other Zelda videos by TerminalMontage for where it came from.

@picandocodigo, gameplay-wise seems like inverse Fight'n'Rage. That one was a very fighting/combo-inspired beat'em'up, while this looks more like a beat'em'up-inspired fighting game.

@slimerancher

@TAG @astrsk , there is a demo for (at least one, if not more) Fitness Boxing (games). Try it out.

For me, I much prefer Ring Fit, as it provides more varied exercise, and for kinda boxing I play ARMS.

@slimerancher ,

hopefully finishing Darksiders 2.

@nonprofitparrot, if you have the links to the patents at hand, it would be grand if you can share them.

@peopleproblems

@slimerancher @Phelpssan, a few more non-danmaku STGs that I’d suggest:

vert (T = tate support):
• Anger Force (T)
• Astebreed
• SophStar (T)
• Dragon Blaze (T)
• Gunbird 2 (T)
• Sisters Royale (T)
• Moon Dancer (T)
• Missile Dancer (T)
• Dimension Drive – weird
• Shoot1Up – weird

hori:
• Sine Mora
• Blazing Star
• Black Bird – weird
• Rigid Force Redux
• R-Type Dimensions
• ProtoCorgi – weird
• Aqua Kitty UDX
• Andro Dunos 2
• Thunder Force IV

@Entropy, do they also feel good? I heard conflicting reports on that part. @slimerancher

@lemmy_user_838586 , Steamdeck is also powered by a full Linux distro + Steam + Proton/Wine (+ KDE Plasma) in many cases. Whereas Switch has a leaner custom BSD-based system.

@slimerancher, oh, and if you would like to learn bullet hells better and don't mind some slightly disturbing imagery, Angel at Dusk is a great and accessible game. It has an outstanding tutorial to interactively teach you not just the mechanics, but also how exactly to pull off the required (sub)genre moves.

@314xel, I agree. But at least when it comes to #FPS #FirstPersonShooter games, I find that if they integrate gyro aiming it can actually be very good. Not all gyro aiming is implemented well, but when it is (you may need to set the sensitivity to your liking), it’s (almost) on par with mouse aiming.

@slimerancher same! I have all four, so far finished only 1.

Also need to finish the last boss in Metroid Dread and finish Prime 1 in time for Prime (2, 3 and) 4.
