What game port stands out the most to you? Resident Evil 2 on the N64 remains unbelievable to me, shrinking all that CD game data onto a 64 meg cartridge.

As I finish digging out from a snow storm in your old stomping grounds in suburban Chicago, what are your favorite snow day gaming memories? (Or, failing that, winter vacation memories?)

Right there with you, but video games and the community around it (well, some of the community) help provide a valuable distraction from everything going on. Helps keep me sane, for real. Just know that I appreciate you and your messages here, your Retronauts appearances, etc... 🙂

So far, Nintendo hasn't raised the price of Switch 2 consoles in response to tariffs. My bet is that the higher price of Amiibo, the Mario Galaxy collection, etc... (and the MSRP increase for the original Switch consoles) is to maximize revenue elsewhere to avoid charging an extra $60+ for Switch 2.

I was shocked when the trailer started. I figured it might not come to Switch 2 for tech reasons, at least at launch, but I'm thrilled that even more people will get to enjoy (and portably, too)!

That sounds really barebones. I get a lot of motivation from all the metrics, so I think I'd struggle with one of these.

My Target appears to have the non-bundle console in stock.
I got to the store 75 minutes before it opened and was first in line. There were about 20-25 total people in line when the store opened and they had a total of 90 (45 each of bundle and console-only). The bundle was clearly more popular.

What is your "point of no return" when it comes to deciding to finish a game versus drop it? I'm thinking of the games that aren't all bad but which might be a slog to complete.
