Hello there, lovely kittens of Fameowboards. It is I, Melpawmene. The month of October is upon us, and you know what that means. Corpses. Ghosts. Children in costumes attempting to steal MY fucking sweets, get off my front steps you ravenous and rapacious rapscallions or experience anguish who...

My whole adult life, the availability of Genesis/Mega Drive games has been part of the background radiation of the universe. That last one, the one they put out in 2018? That was pretty good. It seemed to work pretty well. I liked having them! But back in 2024 they got delisted, apparently...

The Cursed Apple is ever changing, and these streets are nothing like you remember. Welcome to the DEADLOCK StarTopic! Hyuck, what the hell is DEADLOCK? DEADLOCK is an upcoming third person shooter and MOBA developed and published by Valve. It is set in an urban fantasy 1920s New York...

So, just started replay Star Fox Adventures on GC Classics,for who just started to play first time, what you think of the game? For who is replaying the game, your opinion changed about it? I think is a good game, not great, with memorable music, visual great for time and good world/characters...

Video game music is quite unique as most of the time the music you get officially is different from in game audio. One obvious example is Phantasy Star Online. The games have two themes with transition, the quiet version and the battle version with unique transitional music depends on which...

INTRODUCTION For nearly 2 years I've been running this series of threads where I've asked Fami users to submit Top 10 lists. The original focus of this was to do GOTY retrospectives but I had so much fun doing them that I decided to spin it off to doing Top 10 lists for a variety of other...

In a quite surprising twist, the Middle-earth saga, consisting of two games, was recently announced for Switch 2. These games already came out on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Shadow of Mordor is also available for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. What: Middle-earth: Shadow Bundle (Middle-earth...

I found by pure random a channel called Grow Now! Games, where a single dev is sharing is work on a project called ASCII City. An entire city rendered in ASCII characters, from a single HTML file. The project started from a simple idea and is growing more and more as weeks pass. The first...

Favorite Switch 2 first-party game: Favorite Switch 2 third-party game: Most played Switch 2 game: Most anticipated Switch 2 game:

given recent rumours, do we still think this is real? if so, why, or why not?

Thought this could be an interesting comparison as both are very critically acclaimed debut games that made a huge impression on the industry but excels in different areas.

After playing some Panzer Dragoon II: Zwei and just getting into Sin & Punishment 1, I decided to make a thread dedicated to such an addicting arcade genre origin. I am halfway done with PZII, and my God it gets difficult by Episode 3. Currently on Episode 5. S&P, I am currently on Stage 3. It's...

Have any of you been to Target recently? I get why you might not want to because of gestures broadly at everything that company has done recently, but I found myself inside at the end of a long errands trip. Now we all know about the classic gaming mini fridges, the Xbox mini fridge because haha...

Usually when they skip a week for a holiday period, they double up in the next report. Not this time! Welcome to a Monday morning (or afternoon or night, I don't know your time zone) edition of the Famitsu sales thread! Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave took the top spot during its release week...

I noticed that my Switch 2's right Joycon's ZR button now makes an annoying squeaking or creaking sound when it or a button around it is pressed. It doesn't affect the controls but it's quite distracting. Anyone else have this issue, and if so, do you know of an easy way to fix it?

NINJI BOY he can lower the block…

With the announcement of the Switch 2 edition of Pikmin 4 in the most recent Direct, and me being... pretty disinterested and disappointed in it (can't say I really have any urge to play more Dandori challenges, or give Oatchi voice commands), the urge to replay Pikmin 4 that has been popping...

It's been already discussed in here (believe in the other Metroid thread, in fact), but I've been looking how much it's shot up in price used and it's just... Unreal... These are the UK prices but here's a comparison a Bluesky user: For anyone who can't see it for whatever reason, the UK...

We absolutely need this on Switch 2. I always thought of Sleeping Dogs as the definitive open world game that combined story, stylish gameplay and fun in a way that never overstayed its welcome. I am not sure who holds the IP now UFG is defunct, but it might be Square-Enix as the publisher of...

We have speculated about what game Nintendo will remake next from Famicom/NES and Game Boy/Game Boy Color. Now it's time for Super Famicom/Super NES! So, if Nintendo would remake a Super Famicom/Super NES game for Nintendo Switch 2, what game do you think they would choose and why? The last...

For me, it's the re-reveal of Kingdom Hearts 4 in the June 2026 Nintendo Direct. Even as someone that isn't familiar with the series, I was still stunned by the fact that Nintendo managed to get the marketing rights first.

I know most of you here are familiar with the type of games I love to play based on my alone. You also know I love stylish action games/single character hack n' slash/etc. You know all the names at this point. Back when these games were really popular or breached some minor popularity, I was a...

Vanillaware's first game. Their action rpg that is basically more of a fighting game than a brawler technically. I am still early in the game, and only completed the first quest, but it is amazing to play, look at, and listen. The sprite detail in the characters and backgrounds are insane, and...

With the announcement of Metroid Ravenous, I've seen a lot of videos and posts made by Metroid fans instructing newcomers to the series on where to start. Something universal I've seen is that they say not only should one skip NES Metroid as a starting point, they should avoid it altogether...

Franchises can sometimes be brought back from a rut and brought to new heights by a complete reboot that redefined what games in the franchise can be. (sometimes referred to as a BotW moment) Any franchises that comes to mind for you right now that would benefit from such a treatment?

Currently, Ultimate has a total of 89 Fighters including echoes and assuming, they keep the entire roster, I could easily see having 100 Fighters as a major marketing move for Smash 6. Who would y'all pick for the 11? I would pick in no particular order: 1) Meowscarda (SV) 2) Zagreus (Hades)...

Youtube @GameofTobi has posted an update His previous works included porting Mario 64 & Mario Galaxy to GBA, Minecraft on the DS Twilight Princess on the 3DS and many more 3D projects on old Nintendo hardware. Yes, he has multiple projects going on at the same time and I don't think...

This is kind of a cousin to my short co-op game thread, but no co-op requirement here. I really like RPGs, but I'm often overwhelmed by how long this genre's finest can be. So, I'm wondering what the best examples of short RPGs available on Nintendo's latest platforms are! My own...

What’s on the menu this weekend, Fam? Still continuing with Dark Souls 2 & Demon’s Souls. Minus some DLC areas, I think I’m nearing the end of DS2. As for Demon’s Souls, I’d say I’m around 60% through the game.

I'm talking about games you could go back to right now and add +1 points to your own evaluation of the software. Online, I usually read about this rating boost attained when people jump from single player mode into the multiplayer mode. But it really can be for games that you get a word of...

I was initially going to post this in the Third Party discussion thread, but I didn't want to derail any convos and have an ongoing 1-2pg+ discussion on it, so figured a thread dedicated to this might be better. So heads up, but there will likely be articles circulating over the couple days or...

This year I was able to experience the press experience at TGS 2026. This is my 3rd time at this event. You may not be aware, but I actually help run the video game sales analysis side, InstallBase. Last year I helped write an article for the site detailing my experience. This year I want to try...

With the release of Donkey Kong Bananza, Nintendo made it clear that they want to establish both 2D and 3D branches for the Donkey Kong series. This, to me, says that the 2D series, or the Donkey Kong Country series, is likely going to continue. What would you like to see in the next 2D Donkey...
