There's a similar store in Phoenix. It has classic gamimg gear but also has an arcade attached with a lot of US and Japanese cabinets. You pay $5/hour to get in, but the machines are set to free play. There are also stations for consoles so people can play stuff like Smash, Tekken 7, or SFV. The classic gaming stuff is a bit on the pricey side, but I did get my repro English translation cart of Mother 3 there for $25 a couple of years ago. I will probably do a streaming/Youtube playthrough of Mother 3 at some point.

The Switch has almost all of Nintendo's arcade classics on it, so I enjoy them there. It's always cool to see DK or its brethren out in the wild, though. Nintendo had the best Golden Age arcade games.

I'd like to see a game based on Garfield's Nine Lives. You remember that one, where a bunch of guest artists and writers wrote the stories? The seventh story had a gruesome ending. And that one was written by Jim Davis himself. 

I wouldn't mind seeing a good Garfield adventure.

I also wouldn't mind someone taking a crack at a Heathcliff game, either.

Yeah, I love Popeyes, but sometimes it makes me feel more like Wimpy than Popeye. Wimpy, incidentally, has a hamburger chain named after him in Commonwealth countries, primarily in Britain and South Africa now.

Never would have figured you for a Frank Zappa guy.

My favorite 3-D platformer is still Super Mario 64, with Odyssey being a close second. I actually haven't played a lot of 3D platformers since the N64 era. I would like to see another third-person 3D Metroid game, though. Other M was kind of rough, but it was better than people give it credit for.

Nice. I'm gettting Engage when it comes out. I actually managed to score a collectors' edition, which is nice since I missed out on Xenoblade's CEs.

Tears of the Kingdom is obviously my most anticipated game, and then after that it's Fire Emblem: Engage, Final Fantasy XVI, Tales of Symphonia, and Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, which was my favorite farm sim back on Gamecube. 

Don't forget Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Dragon Quest XI S, and Xenoblade.

"Pisseth off!"

"I'll tear the shit out of thee!"

Yoko Taro captured the literary genius of William Shakespeare perfectly in his rendition of Romeo and Juliet.

What people forget when they say "Square Enix sold off Tomb Raider and Deus Ex for $300 million" is that Square Enix only paid the equivalent of $120 million for those franchises to begin with. Tomb Raider hasn't exactly been a big name since the third game on PS1, and even the reboots on PS4/X1 failed to make much of a splash. I'm not sure Embracer is going to do the franchise any better, as I'm not impressed by what I've seen out of them so far.

The Microsoft-Activision deal... I'll be blunt, as someone who has disliked their products for decades, I hope it fails. I'm never in favor of giving Microsoft more power over anything. It cheered my heart a bit when Windows Phone crashed and burned. It will eventually go through, unless the roadblocks become great enough that Microsoft investors get tired of trying and tell Nadella to drop the whole thing.

Eventually I will get on board with the next generation. It's just going to take more than The Last of Us and Dad of Boy Christianizes Scandinavia (which is what the Ragnarok story actually was about) to get me on board. FFXVI looks very promising, in contrast to the troubled developments of FF13 and FF15, so that's a hope spot there. Hopefully I will be done with Tears of the Kingdom and Fire Emblem Engage by the time it releases.
