He doesn't?

I've never played a Call of Duty, but who cares. If Rouj pops in again he can have my Ivy confession, who I turned to when they nerfed Cervantes and I struggled against his Astaroth. He needs to confess Birdie was a known cheap online pick.

Lots of series I haven't played like Halo and FIFA. But I don't consider that a confession as I couldn't give two fiddlers about games like that.

I have 3 N64 consoles but I only bought one (release day if you're interested). I think the other two were just Uni gains. I didn't steal them but they just somehow ended up with me. Similarly, I have about 6 pads but only ever bought 3.

They were just resting in my account, I know.

I haven't seen credits on Super Metroid

davyK

oh shit....then

I have 3 N64s - 1 PAL, 1 JP and 1 JP with RGB mod.
I have 3 GCs - 2 PAL with BB adapters and 1 JP
I have 3 PS2s - 1 PAL fat, 1 PAL slim, 1 JP slim
I have 2 PS1s - no idea why - probably meant to play linkup games at one point.
I have 2 DCs
I have 3 Saturns - 1 PAL, 1 JP white, 1 JP grey
I have 2 360s, 2nd one is older model with RGB SCART for CRT shmupping.
I have 2 2600s - 1 PAL, 1 US modded for composite.

There. I feel better now.

I have 3 n64s and 4 gamecubes itt

I never fell for that Nintendo colour collecting thing - the N64 is immensely collectable once you get into that...it's a real rabbit hole.

My pokemon N64 says hello.

I've never completed Ikaruga despite adoring it to the point I own the OST vinyl. Watched my brother do it back in the day though.

Confession: I’ve just started collecting sealed Nintendo games (mainly the Zeldas, Marios and Metroids,) I convinced myself this was a good idea but now I’m questioning everything.

Holy shit. You must have deep pockets old boy.

I've gone for Gamecube games onwards, anything earlier is super mega bucks.

Not going mad with it but just planning to pick up a few every now and then, put them in storage and see what they fetch in 20 years or so.

I very much doubt you are alone in not completing Ikaruga. Either have I. It's damn clever , damn beautiful and damn hard. My confession is that I don't think it's anywhere near as good as reviewers claim it is. It is far from being the best shooting game ever - it wouldn't make my top 10. Maybe not my top 20.

Doesn't Ikaruga give you effectively infinite lives after you've played it a few times? It did on the Gamecube, as far as I recall.

Kow

I certainly don't remember that. I never got past the beginning of the second level.

voices

It seems that after playing for 8 hours you get unlimited continues. It makes it quite a bit easier...

Kow

It wouldn't surprise me if I didn't play it for 8 hours.

Yossarian

It would have been a hell of a lot of runs through level 1 if you had.

Wash your mouth out young man. One does not use continues in a shmup and then claim to have beat it. Ikaruga is a 5 level game.

Howdy, Stranger!
