A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

With all secret shells, hearts containers and 0 deaths. Was a fun experience but a challenge I will not do again.

Was intending on playing links awakening again. But I happened to do so since I just got a switch lite and was trying out some games on it. Then I got sucked back in.

Such a classic game

Congratulations! It was as so good on my OG Gamboy and just as good on my Switch.

Is this the one with the giant egg?

Yes

And they redid it in with 3d? And hella color?! Omg what?!

[–] ampy@discuss.online 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

They had a color version! Link's Awakening DX

[–] agentshags@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

On the Gameboy color, right? I think I had that one too, unless it was that SNES adapter for game boy games... I'm feeling old now

Was dx only like 4 colors, maybe I'm all mixed up

No? Gameboy color had a lot of supported colors, the game looks really nice. Definitely check it out, I think it's aged well.

I must be getting confused lol. I had a lime 🍋‍🟩 green color. Maybe I just didn't have the DX cart?

[–] ampy@discuss.online 2 points 4 days ago

That's probably what it is. Original Gameboy cartridges on Gameboy Colors only add 4 different colors to spries and the map.

I mean... It would be weird if they redid it in 3D, but kept it black and white. These days, color is pretty much a given for most games.

Fair enough. I guess I just haven't had my finger on the pulse gaming lately, but I remember beating it on the game boy a long time ago it's pretty awesome to see that it's been updated like this!
