Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo Stops Production ...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 27, 2026, 05:14:49 PMQuote from: retro junkie on February 18, 2026, 04:21:12 PMMan I used to use a PDA on the job. Still have that HP PDA in a drawer around here somewhere......Exactly... and I made a topic a little while about Best Buy using PDAs again. I saw them in a few other places recently. IMO, they were just ahead of their time. They were scanning with them, adjusting quantities, reviewing stock... and doing a lot more with them. Plus these days, you can fit a ton of power into devices that small.
You make a decent point... and with inventions like the Evercade Pocket, maybe the companies are thinking... there is no more room left for another device. I don't totally agree with that statement, but maybe that's the thought. Throwing the Switch or Switch2 into a carrying case hasn't been a horrible experience. Again, I 100% agree.
There are times I wish I had something 3DS wise to throw in my pocket. It would be awesome if it was significantly thinner. I think this is possible as well. maybe with attachable grips for hand comfort. I had issues with angles with certain handhelds where my hands could fall asleep. Didn't happen all the time... but I do have larger hands.

Black and White! The whole Microsoft buying and later shuttering Lionshead / EA owning distro rights created a very unlikely scenario for it to ever see the light of day again. Not even factoring the insane amount of difficulty in getting the game to run on newer hardware, making a remaster likely cost prohibitive.
Seeing Fable coming back gave me hope. I also happened to look up Peter Molyneux and come to find out his studio was developing a game called Masters of Albion that's supposed to blend mechanics from Fable, Populous, and Black and White. While I don't have tons of love for Populous, Fable and Black and White were some of the best the early aughts had to offer.

Nintendo - Switch 2, Switch, 3DS, and Wii-U / Re: Nintendo 3DS - What a Craz...

First and foremost, I like the clamshell design of the console itself. To me, that is portable gaming. I feel the same way about the GB SP. I wear cargo pants a lot. That design easily goes into the pocket with ease. I know the switch has a touch screen, but it might as well not have one at all. also I find it not as sensitive as the 3DS screen. It is not utilized at all, at least it is not used in the games that I have for the console. I know that it is a gimmick that was poorly used in a lot of the early games, DS, but there are certain games that it worked very well in the gameplay.
I also like the increased processing power that showed in a lot of its games. The 3DS seem to be the next step in gaming especially the "NEW" 3DS that really was not taken advantage of during its short life. There are just a lot of good gaming in its library that I really enjoy.
edit: and I really got into the fact that I could pull it out and take a 3D picture wherever I went. Love the camera feature on these things. Yeah I know it was poor quality, but it was still a thing.

Yes it is good quality. The mock up cover is made to look authentic until you look real close.
And the movie is in B&W which I am glad. Did not want the color version. These are some of the shows I watched before cutting the Disney+ service recently. I am no longer paying for any streaming service at the moment. I am presently focusing that money toward physical media.

Last post by BLUEVOODU - February 25, 2026, 12:33:43 PMNICE!!! you know what... I Think I still need to buy Black Widow. Need to double check that it is or is not in the collection.
and I'm glad you posted that the Werewolf By Night is very bootleg @retro junkie. I would have been searching for that relentlessly stating "retro got it... why can't I find it!?!?"
Is it good quality?
The movie we really want to buy but cannot is Fly Me to The Moon with Scarlett Johansson, Channing Tatum, Woody Harrelson.. etc. I know... I've mentioned that a few times.
