It's a (relatively) cheap backup solution in case you've any difficulties with your project. Definitely see it out though! Can't beat equipment you've made yourself.
Yeah sure give me a few months and we can form a Megadrive synth band. What could possibly go wrong?

Just noticed that the screenshots for Revenge of Shinobi are literally pics of a CRT TV instead of digitally captured from the game and printed.
Not being a collector of physical retro games which CIB it has me wondering if other games are pics or CRT TVs from that era?

So I was doing a bit of high seas shenanigans with my DS and 3DS since I'm selling a lot of stuff so I've been getting familiar with their libraries.
I've not changed my mind about the DS, it's an absolute glut of high quality games with some great variety to the library and some real weirdo stuff on there as well.
The 3DS library however I'm finding quite lacking. In a way it's like the N64 library but not nearly as terrible.
The 3DS library is pretty small but it does seem to have quite a high ratio of good stuff to dross. There's a decent amount of games worth playing on the system but not as much as say the SNES or other great systems. I think main issue is the lack of variety in the library. If you love jrpgs then you are in heaven with the 3DS but it seems most of the library is jrpg focused with a handful of more traditional action games. There's some weird stuff as well, the style savvy games and there's some really great stuff on the download store, but again it's a bit lacking.

Well you could count the Switch as a handheld and that's a fantastic console. I do think the 3DS is a great machine. I'd probably rank it around the megadrive level which isn't exactly bad.
Speaking of videogame libraries I was going through my Wii games as well and honestly that system really doesn't get enough love. There's so much good stuff on there and loads of weird and wonderful stuff. I also realised I've a pretty great Wii library, going to hurt selling that.

On another note had a load of my girlfriend's family over at the weekend. She was saying how she doesn't think her 5 year old nephew has any interest in videogames and honestly he hasn't really shown much. He's only tried them once and being quite young just couldn't grasp how to use a joypad. When they visited he asked if, unprovoked by me btw, asked to play some games. So I threw on some old games and again he was having trouble but I also had two gamepads set up this time and through maybe some coop games would help.
Anyway cue him getting really into the Konami 1989 TMNT game. We credit fed all the way to shredder and he almost beat his first game except his little three year old brother wanted in on the action and only managed to disconnect the player 2 gamepads Bluetooth somehow. Went home talking about the turtles. He still hasn't quite grasped how to use a gamepad but I think helping him out worked.

I actually use a DS for my DS games because I don't like the pixel ratio on the 3DS being off (and I know you can force into 1:1 pixel mode but it throws off games that take into account the screen gap like contra 4.
