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.

Got the games years ago for the GBC, and I've always love it. But I always got stuck in a handful of dungeons. Level 3, level 4, level 6, and finally the black tower.

But I was finally able to solve it myself with no hints! This is in my view one of the best Zelda games.

I'm wondering, did you buy the Vita recently or did you buy it while it was still sold in stores? I'm seeing a big resurgence of handheld emulation and think it's wonderful that it lets us play through famous older titles! I just bought a 3DS XL and am planning to play some old games I missed, too!

Had a Vita 1000 since launch (got the first edition bundle). Then years later I got a Vita2SD which destroyed the card reader (my mistake). So I got this JP Vita 2000 since I wanted one in Blue and the Vita 2000 is pricey.

Retroarch is a wonderful tool to play older games on whatever you have, though it's a lot of work, the effort to get a device like a GBxCart or to hack a 3DS to get the ROMs is worth playing.

Personally I miss small form factor systems like the Vita, and hope that there will be a Steam Deck Lite one day that is pocketable.
