An updated Pilotwings would be great but we need to keep the SNES tunes.

Poor Val. He's always been one of my favorites. Top secret, Willow, The Doors, etc. well those were just awesome movies. And if you guys haven't seen it for some reason, you need to watch kiss kiss bang bang. It's become a Christmas tradition in my house, even though it's basically a Christmas movie and the way that die hard is a Christmas movie. He's incredible, and it's pretty much the reason why Robert Downey Jr got cast as iron Man.

I checked the list of  switch 1 games with backwards compatibility problems on Switch 2.

Out of everything there's only a few I own that bother me:

Dex

Elderand

Doom Eternal

The Journey Down trilogy

Dust and Elysian Tale

Saints Row 4

With Nintendo's new console price, I can't help but wonder how much a PS6 would cost if tariffs are still in place when it launches.

$699.99

Wait, how much is PS5 PRO?

There's a Nintendo tree house in 2 hours today. 2pm UK time.

And one tomorrow.

Wish I could watch the treehouse. I want to see the games and I really want a Prime 4 release date. Probably Fall.

I went over the footage and Prime 4 has the best textures of any video there.

Just the increased RAM makes more of a difference than most else.

I hope other games get finished with higher quality textures. So weird there was no DLSS at all in any game shown. I wonder if it's something they will enable just before a game releases.

Eurogamer did an article on Switch 2s price, comparing it in regions and adjusting it for inflation.

I've posted the whole text in the Switch 2 thread but here's the main takeaway for me:
Eurogamer said:

Still, accounting for inflation, the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle works out cheaper in the UK than the original Switch with a copy of Breath of the Wild in 2017.

To directly compare the consoles alone, £280 for the original Switch works out at £367.40 today with inflation, still cheaper than Switch 2. However, throw in the big launch game and it's a better deal - an original Switch with a separate copy of Breath of the Wild cost £340 at launch in 2017, which works out at £446.13. That's pricier than the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle.

Over in Europe, the Switch 2 console costs €469.99, or €509.99 for the Mario Kart World bundle. That's equivalent to the cost in the UK.

It's a different story in other parts of the world, however.

I received my Atari 7800+ and a sealed copy of Frenzy. I haven't opened either up yet but I'm a bit surprised that the 7800+ console was heavier than I'd expected.

Also Frenzy, which was never released back in the day, looks exactly like a 1989 7800 release. This will be the first sealed 7800 game I've open in over 30 years.

I ordered a brand new set of CX30+ Paddle controllers from Atari too. I should have them in a few days.

This almost feels like getting a brand new console except the price is reasonable, lol.

Now I feel really old. LOL

2600 paddle controllers are like early 80s arcade spinners for games like Breakout, Arkanoid, Kaboom, Tempest, etc. ProductImage-C_696d7529-b2bb-4547-92d9-4ad55294abd2.jpg?v=1692664603&width=1500
