Was able to try out the 8bitdo 64 Controller for a bit last night on the Switch 2 - was very surprised that it read the controller as an official N64 one. It definitely was way better playing the few games I tested with it over using the Pro Controller.

Received the new 8bitdo 64 Controller in the mail last night. Definitely excited to try it out later.

Just found out that Konami is releasing a Goemon collection (by M2) in Japan this July of all the Famicom, SFC, and Game Boy games. Definitely wish this would be translated and released over here. One of my all time favorite games is Mystical Ninja 64 (not included in this though).

Was excited to see this on the Partner Direct today. Both NES Bomberman II and Super Bomberman 2 are a couple of my favorite Bomberman games. I want the physical copy, but is the physical copy just a Switch 1 edition? What is the difference between the two? Hmm.

As someone who has played most of the Metroid games (OG NES, GB 2, Super, Fusion, the whole Prime trilogy, Dread), I think I’m done with this one. I’m not enjoying myself at all, sadly. (Yes, I may have raged quit after dying to a certain boss 4 times in a row)

Been awhile since I posted on the old retro game collection. My wife picked up a few games for my collection over the holidays that I surprisingly never owned, but played a lot with friends who did own them.

Finally got around to building the LEGO Game Boy set from last October. It’s definitely one of the better sets to come out in a long time. Would love if they made expansions for it, for example: a Pokémon cart included with one of the LEGO Pokémon sets.

Also, just before Christmas, I received my Mega Man Hand-Drawn Game Guide from kickstarter in the mail. @heyphilsummers.bsky.social hit this one out of the park! Super high quality and vibrant! Love it.
(forgot to post this when I got it, due to being sick throughout the holidays)

Right after recovering from being sick over the holidays, I received a flat tire on my way to work. Starting 2026 off great!

Been a bit, work and vacations have kept me busy. Anyway, back on Black Friday, a distracted driver hit my vehicle with my wife and myself in it. Thankfully no one was hurt, but had to have my back passenger door and tire replaced and body work done. Not a fun time.

I’m terrible at posting, sorry. Summer vacations and busy workdays are taking up my time. I’ll get to posting regularly (hopefully) soon, if only for myself. Anyway, here’s a few random pictures from last month at one of my favorite Disney World resorts, Port Orleans Riverside.

Nintendo Switch 2 was shipped and arrived. Going to be a fun weekend.

…and then literally the next time I went to the store after I ordered it through Nintendo, bam - both Nintendo Switch 2 console packages in stock at Target. Typical luck, lol.

Last Wednesday, I finally received an email from Nintendo, granting me a chance to purchase the Switch 2 directly from Nintendo themselves. It hasn’t been in stock in any of the stores around, so I decided to order online from Nintendo. (Today I got an email saying it will arrive Thursday)

Also, went over to Magic Kingdom last Saturday to also say goodbye to the Rivers of America (Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island go away next month) - fun fact, in all my years of going to WDW, I had never ever stepped foot on Tom Sawyer Island. I liked the Fort… that is all.

I’m terrible at posting. Anyway, was on vacation last week. Last Saturday, I paid my respects and went to Hollywood Studios to see MuppetVision 3D for the last time (on its final day of operation).

I literally just realized that my childhood copy of SMB3 was a first production “Left Bros” cartridge - my father must’ve really wanted to play it and got it right away when it was released. (It became one of his favorite games ever)
I absolutely love my NES collection - so many memories.

Almost finished with this very long project I’ve been working on. I’ve been sorting the #LEGO, using Bricklink - I’m up to around 42 to 43 individual sets (a few large sets and a ton of smaller sets and polybags). I’m so glad to be almost done.

Didn’t expect to find a couple random NES games I didn’t own this weekend (in great condition, btw)

Over the last year and so, my wife has gotten very into #LEGO, which in turn has gotten me back into it, as well. I used to collect Lego back in the 90s and still had everything in totes. Recently, we’ve have been working on cleaning, finding, and bundling all my old sets.
