In Sonic Adventure, seeing Sonic start to fall down from the top of a huge skyscraper and then proceed to start running down it was one of the most “Holy crap this is AWESOME!” moments in all of gaming for me.

This new Console Archives line opens the doors to so many possibilities! What do you think we could potentially see coming to the Console Archives line of games on the Switch 2?

This is a more recent addition to my retro game collection: X-Men vs. Street Fighter on the Saturn. This is an awesome fighting game that started Capcom’s “Vs. Series”, and I used to play this one all the time back in the arcades.
Who else has some good memories with this game?

One part of the Nintendo Partner Showcase that I don’t see a lot of discussion about but I’m really interested in is the Console Archives.
What do you think we can expect to see from this? Maybe gems from Saturn and Dreamcast? Could we finally get NiGHTS into Dreams on Switch/2?!

As a little kid in 1997, it blew me away seeing a giant screen on a wall showing what was happening in Mario Kart 64. I was WAY more impressed with that than I should have been. 😆

24 years ago today, Sonic Advance was released for the Game Boy Advance in North America and us old-school SEGA fans could NOT believe that a new Sonic game was being released on a Nintendo system. I’ll never forget how weird that felt, but I bought this game day one and I love it!

This update to the Nintendo Music app includes a soundtrack with over 350 tracks that are mostly comprised of 5 second songs, and I love it. Happy to see the WarioWare soundtrack here!

I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you all this, but Bubsy is the new fighter being added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch 2 Edition. Whichever character you were wanting, they’re not getting in. Just Bubsy.

This is a “Berenstain Bears moment” where I swear I remember it differently.
I totally remember him introducing himself as King Bob-omb, not “the Big Bob-omb”.
Did his official name as King Bob-omb come AFTER his debut in Super Mario 64?
