This was a bit surprising. Labo isn't my cup of tea now, but I probably would have been all over it when I was a kid. I got a lot of these kinds of kits and add-ons when I was a kid. It's a pretty neat concept and pretty interesting how Nintendo made the Switch work with cardboard.
I haven't dusted off the Vita in awhile. On the Switch, I've been doing Vesperia and old arcade games lately.
The game I really wanted the SNK collection for is Vanguard, which was a pre-NES favorite on the 2600 and 8-bit Ataris. I also play Athena, but that game is a Soulsbourne level of punishing even at easy difficulty. Ikari Warriors and P.O.W. are the other ones I play on that collection. It has both the arcade and NES versions where available.
I got Spyro for my friend's kids. I've mostly been playing Tales of Vesperia on my Switch. I no longer have a 360 so this is the only way I can play it now.
I don't miss the stockpiling for snowstorms, I say as I enjoy the 70 degree weather in Phoenix right now. When I did live in snowy areas I wasn't all that bad about it either. Amy and I kept pretty level heads. When I was a kid, my mom would buy MREs from the military commissary for snow and tornadoes. They keep pretty much forever.
I've seen homemade arcade cabinets that are supposed to sit on bartops. They're sold on sites like Etsy. I'm tempted to get a cabinet with Donkey Kong graphics on it (it includes thousands of games, not just DK).
At this point, though, my Switch is my childhood dream arcade, with classics from Nintendo, Atari, Namco, Sega, Capcom, and SNK on it.
I remember the first TJ&E being shown at Genesis kiosks at Walmart when I was a kid. It was a weird game. I'd played dungeon crawlers before (specifically, a game called Gemstone Warriors on Atari XE), but didn't make the connection to this one.
One Genesis game I wish they'd revive is this little platforming/RPG gem called Alisia Dragoon.
So your GOTY isn't Fallout 76? What's next, Kirby: Star Allies?
Smash has great visuals and the game remains pretty consistent on speed.
FFXII was great. I'll probably triple dip on it when it hits Switch next year.
My main in Smash Ultimate is Cloud.
What's your gamer tag? Maybe we can do Smash online.
