Stage Select: How have I been spending all this extra pandemic time? Well, you see, I have four small kids, so being stuck at home doesn't actually give me any extra time to do things. Those people joking on social media about finishing Netflix? Screw those people! It took me, like, three months to get through Neon Genesis Evangelion. All that is not to say that I haven't been doing anything. It just hasn't been any more than usual. Recently I did knock a couple backlogged Wii U games: Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, which is a great game, and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. I'm not sure I've ever seen a game more lacking in meaningful content as Ultra Smash. The underlying mechanics are sound. There's just almost nothing to do. But at least I get to feel good about myself for finishing it.
Cage Match: I'm going to go with Battlefront 2 2005 because...old things are better?
Here's a stage select idea for you: What is your favorite series that was wholly contained in a single generation? (I wouldn't count portable entries against a series. Resistance, for instance, had a PSP game and a Vita game but I'd still say it counts since the main three games were all on PS3 and there never was a PS4 Resistance game.)
