It may not be much but I’m really interested in the steady uptick on North America’s original Wii. Even into the end of the year the sales were increasing. Usually they level out, but there’s still a little swing up there at the end that if the Switch doesn’t match will keep it on top.

Just looking forward to finding a second (official) NES controller. They shoulda packed two in with the NES as well. NEVER saw one of those in the wild that wasn’t scalped and jacked to high heaven, or a faker.

Grand Kingdom is an awesome game! I got to review it for a site when it first came out, my only complaint was that it wasn’t cross-buy. I reviewed on PS4, and it seems to be an excellent handheld title. It doesn’t look like it’s changed to cross-buy or anything, but I’ll gladly take the Vita version (and hope the save…

I need more Elite Beat Agents in my life. Still looking to import the Ouendan titles. That was an odd rhythm game that never really has been matched. The wiggles on the screen even matched up the rhythm of the game.

That’s a clear “these are my things and I need to set them down so I’ll put them in an obvious place so nobody thinks they’re free reign” set up there.

Personal note on this game. It was wonderful, but terrible for someone going through it long-term.

Queen is great in general, but this makes me pine for more Elite Beat Agents.

Add to that Pac Man vs! An amazing party game. I see that it is part of the Namco Museum on Switch now, though you need multiple units for it to work properly. Definitely a great title though!

Cute, fun idea, and I wish more people would use the augmented idea like this. I think this kinda thing would rock the Switch, where a different right joy con could add a reel to the side, things like that. The modular style of the Switch is something I think people could really take advantage of. An extra controller…

Saw this in Walmart yesterday. Almost bought it because of the thickened L/R buttons.

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!

My biggest takeaway from this article is I spent two minutes scrounging those pictures to learn the person mixed up Iron Giant with Big O, and now I am sad. Yay for Iron Giant, but Big O is one of my big favorite animes.

Another thing to do that may take patience is transferring credit. A couple years ago I called Nintendo arguing that my 300 Wii Points were useless, I could only ever buy in increments of 500, and I was pretty much guaranteed to have “leftover” when I wanted to use money in my new Wii U account. They said no at first,…

A “realM reborn” truly is FFXIV, but he’s likely referring to the mobile “A New Empire” which is basically the same idea in different words.

I had an innocent friend I had never been to the home of once bring over an 8 bit NES he wanted repaired. We opened it in my living room. I cracked open a little power box in the corner, and baby roaches teemed out. I was so freaked out I panicked and picked up the system and threw it into my yard. Dumb me. They came…

My fave campiness came from Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman back on PS1. Cowboy learns samurai arts, could be potentially cool, but it’s a hack and slash with a cherry red coat and cowboy hat. And that theme song....

The board flipping is physical, if there’s a preview video of a family sitting around the Switch at the table acting as the board. Except instead of picking up the little houses, you’re calling Nintendo to see if their warranty fixes an “accidental” chuck out a two-story window.

For the layman, I see this as a simple Switch. If you see the issue, pause and drop it into tabletop mode for the moment. Inconvenient, yes, but there is still a workaround. And if you can’t plop the console in your lap for a second, then you’ve found the one issue that Nintendo can’t cover. If what I’m reading is…

I had a strange vision on this game after listening to Pauline’s song on repeat recently. It talks about how she’ll “Be his one up girl” and if Mario’s ready “for a Switch”, “you’re my super star”, “every journey starts a new romance”... I know they’re generic lyrics, but I had this crazy thought that Bowser meets…

I just wanna know why Mario is going commando in overalls. I know there’s no zipper there, but the general irritation of denim would drive me crazy.
