November!

Hi! Geril here.

November can be a messy month, we have a lot of birthdays in our family.

Our experience with the Famicom Disk system (Twin Famicom) grew, as we expand our libary of games to it. It's a bit slow — which is something we're not used to from a classic Nintendo system — but it loads. At least usually. Other times we get something like this:

 

We like to play Guitar Hero with my sister when she comes over. We have two Guitar Hero guitar controllers and a mic, but sadly we just can't find a drumset.

Just a week ago we checked out Rockband. Back when Guitar Hero was the hot game — more than ten years ago — I was aware of Rockband, but never played it, because I had no Xbox360 or PS3, so I just played Guitar Hero on my PC. Later Lussy and I got Guitar Hero 3 for the Xbox360 and slowly bought all of the games from the series, and also a second, wireless guitar. We played a lot with my sister, too, but after we played all of the songs we like — and we can't buy new ones —, we started to get bored of it. Good thing that we realized that we can play Rockband with the same controllers!

Now we're playing the Rockband games that got released on the X360, buying them one by one.

We thought about playing the latest Rockband game — the fourth one — on the Xbox One, but because we can't connect our controllers, we can't.

I had an idea. I connected my Windows PC to my Xbox One with remote play (via the Xbox Companion app), and connected my X360 guitar to my PC, so that I could control it from there.

Sadly it didn’t quite work. I could navigate the menus, but the Xbox One acted like it was a regular Xbox controller, not a guitar. Too bad.
