Nintendo financials are insane. Most profit for any game company for one year, $6billion. 86 million switches sold. It will pass wii this year and it's on its way to PS2 levels. Animal Crossing has sold 32 million copies. Super Mario 3D world already outsold the Wii U version. Everything is selling.
Animal Crossing sales are ridiculous. I'm thinking of selling my copy.

I wouldn't be in a rush. Didn't Nintendo do a pretty substantial update in the game around 2016? Several years after it was released? I wouldn't be surprised if they do that again. This game is going to sell for a while and they're probably going to keep supporting it the whole time. Put it away for a couple years and come back to it. You'll probably enjoy it.

At this point its just more items. I've maxed out my island, have 5 houses. Daily life is just swapping out residents and praying that Redd shows up.
So, tried Mclassic with Wii, using a cheap hdmi adapter from amazon. I was using a 1080i TV so the picture only upscale to 720p. And setting your TV to 4:3 really helps too. And Metroid Prime 3 is basically running in HD. Like... yeah, don't need prime trilogy in HD no more. Red Steel 2 looked better but surprisingly not great. Mario Galaxy 2 looked good. It doesn't look as clean as proper HD but it's close enough and I feel this is the real measure-it came to the point where I was actually playing the game without thinking about the picture. Tried Endless Ocean 2 and gawd yes! Looks how I remember,well,sharper actually. Goldeneye wii looks better but not as clean as I like. I also tried Hellsing dvd and it pretty much looked like my Bluray version, slightly less sharp. Hero on dvd looked like ass, I will probably throw it away. Bodyguards and Assassins dvd looked a lot like a Bluray at times. I think the source material is all important here. A really good quality dvd or game will look better than mclassic upscaling a shitty looking picture. Shit, forgot to test gamecube games via wii.
Okay... Tried Mclassic on Wii games through Wii u on a 4ktv and the results weren't pretty to say the least. I managed to get prime 3 looking fairly decent in 4:3 but half the screen space is black bars either side. I can live with that on a huge TV. Mario Galaxy 2 looked like ass and its a pain to try and force the picture into 4:3. So I tried Avatar the Last Airbender TV series on dvd, on a 4ktv. Regardless of what I set the output resolution on the Bluray player it still looked like roasted shit. I also played Arkham City through the mclassic on wii u. It scaled it to 1080p (on a 4ktv) and the results were very good, less jaggy and a lot cleaner. So basically, Mclassic is not going to make any old 480p content look good on an 4ktv-it's just too big of a bridge to cross. If you want to play gc/wii/ps2 or dvds, best to use the Mclassic on a 1080p or even 720p TV. However for consoles 720p and up (including 1080p Bluray) it's going to improve and clean up the picture on 4Ktvs. Mclassic could upscale switch to 1440p, but you need a TV that supports it, or monitor. And given how older gamecube games can look, I'd probably get a 1080p monitor rather than a 1440p monitor. I still have a 720p TV so may try wii through mclassic on that and it should be the best quality - I think.
Ah Jesus. Tried playing Gamecube games through Wii on a 1080i/720p TV using mclassic. It doesn't work, at all. Most games were 480i, in Europe our games weren't often 480p compatible. I checked the Internet there are pal60 games, there's a trick to getting progressive scan enabled by holding down B on certain game start up screens. No matter what I did all I got was a crappy 480i jaggy image. You need an hdmi adapter that can force video output via Gamecube at 480p and these things cost £70. What's worse is that playing GC games on wii kicks the system into an interlaced image and often the mclassic disables itself so you have to unplug it, go back to wii settings and set it to 480p. Totally ridiculous. What's worse? I was planned on playing virtual consoles games on wii via mclassic. There's no image, just a blank screen. So the only option is to keep my crt or transfer everything to wii u and play... on a 4ktv where everything looks like ass. Im wondering if mclassic will even work with n64 now as it doesn't output a decent resolution image. I already ordered a hyperkin cable set for n64/Gamecube which it says outputs to 720p. So maybe that will work with GC through the mclassic. But who knows at this point. I'm starting to think my collection of old games and dvds are becoming a useless burden and more hassle than it's worth (thanks to TV resolutions) and I should just get rid of them. We'll, at least I can play Wii in HD with a fairly good standard picture quality.
So Ghost of Tsushima is a lot of fun. It looks like your basic Ubisoft open world game. What makes it unique is the robust combat mechanics and the setting. It's gorgeous. The wind plays a part in this game so flowers and grass are constantly swaying. It's just great to look at. I don't really care for photo mode, but I found myself spending a bit of time on it today.
The story is great and intriguing. I couldn't help but wonder if the game would introduce a supernatural element. It hasn't and I'm grateful for that.

That's what the big companies want us to do. I'm keeping my 1080p TV until it dies. Fuck 4K.

I've kept an old CRT but it's fricking ridiculous in this day and age. If I had more room I'd setup a retro gaming room. Part of me wants a 480p flatscreen if such a thing even exists anymore. They still sell 720p medium size tvs but that isn't much good when you have a console that can do higher than that. I'm probably going to buy a 1080p TV once the bedroom t dies. Mclassic can upscale wii, 360 and dvds to 1080p (as well as some lower res switch/ games. Bluray will look the same.
So after Nightmares from the Deep 2 I tried a few more of these hidden object games that are usually £1.30 in the sale. Scarlett Mysteries was pretty good, you go into this scientists house which is haunted and the daughter is cursed. Then I completed Grim Legends 3 and it felt like it was part of a story I had missed in earlier games. It looked great but was perhaps the most superficial one I've played yet and the story was fairly average. Started Demon Hunter and it's already a lot better but there are a few puzzles which are a touch intensive. These games all play in a similar fashion. I miss the pirate setting and hokiness of Nightmares from the Deep. These games are good little time wasters.
I kept games for years, but I no longer do that because of lack of room and I sell those games to buy newer games.
I was looking at my collection and there are so many good games I can't see myself selling them off. Hopefully the new scalers I've ordered will let me play GC and N64 on an hdtv with mclassic. It's really breathed new life into the Wii. I may be playing it tonight, Fate of Atlantis. Maybe Zack and Wiki

Ended up playing Tetris99.

You do know a fairy dies every time you sell on a game?
