The Galactic Arcade [v5]

sO not only is my ps4 hooked up, but I sold over half my retro backstock to a independent game store and got 200 DOLLARS of in-store credit!
now I can get all the rest of the games on my wanted list!

Sweet!

There will be a Nintendo Direct specifically for the 3DS family on Thursday at 7am Pacific Time

Since I don't like spoilers, could someone link directly to the YouTube upload of the direct after it goes up? Will be at work when it goes live

First Nintendo Direct in ages and I can't live blog it!

So, I just got Mass Effect 2 after winning 2 raffle tickets on Vizzed. Probably should have looked into/asked around about the series, but it was the only thing currently available that really interested me.

Just realized something about Mario Maker 3DS...There isn't a share courses via internet...

Oh well, still getting it as soon as possible. Mario Maker was literally the only thing left on Wii U that had me still interested in it (ok, maybe Bayonetta is also a thing, but still).

The next generation of Train Simulator has been announced. Unsurprisingly, it's being called TS2017 and is a four-pack of previously released routes, this time focusing on passenger stop timing and speed. However, there's a new twist. The gen after this is finally the long anticipated move to the Unreal game engine.

And it looks incredible:

The only thing I'm kinda sad about is that this move is not backwards compatible, but to finally move away from the bug-plagued engine being pushed to it's limits, then it has to happen.

If you choose to buy the TS2017 pack, then you gain access to the beta of Train Simulator World. I don't own any of the routes to start with so I might be so inclined to do so.

Is this what TS secretly stands for

not Truthseeker, but Train Simulator?

It's not supposed to, but I suppose when one plays 2,000 hours of a game abbreviated TS....

Train Simulator has Assimilated Truth.

Tropico 4 is free for a very limited time on the Humble Store.

TS2017 Launched today. And tbh, I'm not really interested in most of what they're offering in this game. I haven't really liked the German routes, of which there are two in the Pioneer Edition Package (which is the package that includes the beta to the next gen sim). I've been interested in the New Jersey Coast Line recently, but reluctant to pay full price for it. And the South Wales Coastal doesn't really interest me either.

so... ace attorney spirit of justice is fun.

Dragon Quest VII 3DS comes out tomorrow!
