How exciting, the Nintendo Switch is coming out March 3rd for $300 USD! Included: * main console * 2x controllers (Left and Right) - Nintendo calls them a "Joy Con" * Joy-Con grip (to which two Joy-Con are attached and used as one controller) * a set of Joy-Con wrist straps * a Nintendo Switch dock (which holds the main console and connects it to a TV) * an HDMI cable and an AC adapter It's pretty cool that it can be charged via USB-C, but 3-6 hours of gameplay isn't a ton. Though I'm sure you could plug it in anywhere. Who else is pumped?

The Ghosts 'n Goblins inspiration is pretty evident in Maldita Castilla EX. Really looking forward to this coming out. So much crispy #pixel

Reading an article featuring the stunning screenshots of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. There are some really fun comparisons between the Hyrule of the first Zelda (NES) and the upcoming Nintendo Switch game.

Who is old enough to remember calling up Nintendo to get help when stuck in a game? I sure am! Youtuber Metal Jesus flips through some of the pages and gives a great insight into how employees worked together to help players.

Admittedly, I'm not a fan of the fad of 3D remakes, but I understand that those nostalgic for pixels are in the minority. I am showing my age a bit when I say that I did play the original Dragon Quest VIII back on the original console all those years ago, but I'm still excited to see that it's coming out again on the #3DS on January 20. Not content with just rehashing an old game, there are also two new playable characters and more side quests. If you're looking for a lengthy classic RPG with a modern update graphically, look no further.
