thinking of getting an Xbox 360 again so that I can play the games on it instead of Xbox One, because i've heard that the BWC ain't so great

I got tired of Pokemon Yellow and started playing Spiderman for the Dreamcast. I'm liking it so far (I'm stuck on Missile Attack, though).

[Allio]

Just finished and platinumed gravity rush.

Just got Splatoon two days ago. It's sooo addicting. I'm mainly using the Slosher, though the Roller is pretty great too.

I had a birthday and I also bought some stuff

Been revisiting my older GBA games, specifically Spyro: Season of Ice. Honestly, I'm very mixed on the whole game as I enter the third world. It sounds nice for a GBA game and has decent graphics, but Spyro's hit detection honestly sucks. Sometimes I'm hit regularly, have slight invincibility as a result after taking damage; other times, I can't get away from the damage in specific areas and either lose a lot of health or the knockback kills me. Additionally, the game on many occasions ends up breaking down (screen goes black and makes technological beeps that grate on the ears) when I finish a world, so I have to reset and do the world over again.

I wanted to like this game, but if the programming screws me up instead of my own fault from personal experience, then it's rather unfair. Honestly, the game's not too difficult but this nonsense makes it unplayable at certain intervals.

Question for anyone with more knowledge than myself, does the Game Genie for Sega Genesis, work for/with the Sega Nomad as well?

[Netkeeper]

I had both at one point but I honestly can't remember. Don't see why it wouldn't work though.

Steelbook One Piece: Burning Blood?

Nice!

[Cure]

After playing Uncharted 4, I can say that 2 is still the best.

Ah cool thanks dude, I'll just have to try it out

[Allio]

Pokemon Shuffle, it's your typical match-three game.

The grinding is a *itch though

Yeah, I even asked my brother and he doesn't remember either.

[TheCanadiandrome]

well dats ok dude, thanks for lookin into it though.

anyone with an Xbox One, how is the backwards compatiblity with 360 games? I'm sure disk-basked games would be fine, but i'm talking digital. just for curiosity sake

[Peanut]

It's pretty much perfect for the games that work on it. I've played a ton of BC stuff and they add a bunch all the time.

I've been playing the hell outta older Mario titles. Did SMW (& various hacks), then ran through the All-Stars collection (just got #2 (USA) left), will be moving on to the original Gameboy titles after. Dunno, guess I'm just in the mood. They're all life-long favorites, naturally. Also been re-playing Portal 2, what a good game, man. Got Super Meat Boy & Limbo this week, enjoying them both quite a lot.

I've played a bit of Super Mario Land sometime ago. Need to go back to it. I had never gotten the chance to play the Super Mario Land games. It is quite a challenging game.

[Powder]

They're loads of fun, fairly high-ranking among my preferred Mario titles. There's a lot of charm in them, funky enemies & incredibly catchy music.

I wish they'd do a bit of a revival of the Land stuff, like they have World & #3 for the more recent iterations.

They do have a different feeling to them than most Mario games do. I was like "wtf" upon hearing the cancan being played when I grabbed a star for th first time ever in that game

As far as challenge goes in more recent Mario games, some of the special levels in Mario 3D Land can be frustrating. Especially the ones where you're chased by yor evil shadow twin.
