Still pretty disappointed to hear that there's no Zelda collections planned, but it's possible something gets announced later. I'm sure they want all the focus now to be on Skyward Sword.

Btw, I heard that some of the next gen games will be coming to XB1 through the cloud. If so, hopefully that means I can finally play the new Flight Simulator, and maybe some of these other good games coming to Series X/S.

Been a while since i was hyped about a simulator game lol

Speaking of overpriced Nintendo games, how do you feel about a 2D Metroid running $60? For comparison, Megaman 11 was $30...which seems to be around what most 2D platformers run these days...unless made by Nintendo.

Advance Wars for $60 and Wario Ware at $50 also seems crazy.


I've never been hyped for a Flight Simulator, but the fact that they found a way to render like 80% of the globe blows me away. Would be pretty cool to fly over Cincy and some of my old neighborhoods in NKY.

So Father's Day has some and gone, and I was supposed to get a Series X.  My wife so wanted me to have it that she wanted to pay scalper prices 800+ dollars.  I wouldn't let her.  It's good to be loved, but I'm not paying the bloodsuckers.

*sigh*

I'm hoping Target will have some soon. I can save 5% and pick it up in an hour.
