Very nice. I wonder if the games will be updated to 16×9?

Did anyone take advantage of the Battlefront sale? I'm hoping to find some time on there this weekend.
Also, if anyone's interested in the DLC content, I'd say you can skip the Outer Rim (although that Relby gun is a powerhouse), but the Bespin add-on is pretty flippin' sweet.

Battlefront was really fun, but once I maxed my rank it kind of lost its luster.

I'm getting this even though I already have most or all of those games. That's a great price point for an impulse buy I hope they make enough.

Agreed. I'll probably pick it up just for the ease of play and the controller. Will be easy to travel with too.

Kinda cool, but again all these games and hundreds more nes/SNES/GB/GBA games are super easy to get and play on a PC for free. Or even on a smart phone.

We get it. You like PC. Please just STFU. No one else is a fanboy. No one is arguing against you.

I cracked my wii a few years back and hooked up an external drive with basically every Sega and Nintendo game except GameCube and N64. I already have a million GameCube games. I could never get a good 64 emulator on there. I'll still get the mini NES just for the portability.

:shock: Wow, didn't see that coming. I've made maybe 4 posts about playing games on a PC and none of them were particularly unpleasant or distasteful. I didn't know my handful of posts about what I like to play video games on were so harmful. How are my posts about playing PC games any different than everything else on RM? People criticize and praise stuff around here all the time.

Have you tried it yet? I can't tell what the hell is going on I get killed I don't even know who is shooting me! :D I have to imagine you have to slowly build up you rank to get better guns? I shot a guy 8 times and he turned around and shot me once dead. The kids go bonkers watching me play they love it. My 5 year old says I need to up my game. When he turns 18 he's out.

Man I want to buy Battlefront. I played it for a few days to get a taste and it was a blast. Argh. I just wish the season pass weren't so expensive...

This is par for the course. The matches will be less crazy, and you'll level up faster, if you play smaller games at first like Cargo or Droid Run.

Sorry. I came off too harsh. One of my RL friend is a 35 year old PC "master race" fanboy. It's so annoying to me.

For some reason I have never been into emulation. There is something about playing the actual game on the device it was designed for.
