I'm also one of those people that firmly believes N64 games need to be played with a N64 controller (and on a CRT) so I never even opened up the N64 app until I had this in hand.
I've been ignoring all these Nintendo controller releases for Switch Online but decided to buy a slightly used N64 pad for Star Fox. I'm pretty impressed with this thing. I've been playing lots of Wave Race with it and it feels so good. Great buttons, stick seems like it'll last, great rumble.
Rock returns home.
I gave this a splash of color in the book, but it's a pencil sketch. Here it is (mostly) uncropped.
Here's the original illustration. I'm glad I George Lucas'd it for the book. [3/3]
This was a new drawing I put together for the 202X book. I wasn't happy with my original arcade Contra drawing and felt like this was more fitting. Since I like the NES version more than the arcade one, I went with a take on this old flyer. [1/3]
Ryu Hayabusa sketch.
Did this when I was coming up with a look for my old Ninja Gaiden guide.
BUT now that I've been playing and getting extremely good at my actual arcade Contra, my thoughts have changed! While down on it in 202X, I'd say I love it now. I'll likely be revisiting a Game Reflections for the arcade one once I master hard mode. Here's the take from the book. [2/3]
