@JaxonH When did you order? I got my message just a while ago and UPS says it will be here tomorrow between 9am and 1am. What I've noticed BB does and almost always for me is I get the update really late the day before but I always get the game same day as release. I wouldn't worry just yet.
@Anti-Matter The OS is 720p whether docked or undocked (which might explain why it'd look more pixelated when upscaled on the TV) ..many games are boosted to a maximum of 1080p when docked - but some titles don't quite hit that (eg. Breath of the Wild is 900p docked IIRC) so may appear to be, comparatively, slightly lower res in docked mode (720p is a lot of pixels packed in to a little handheld screen after all!)

The NIS Online Store exclusive Collector Edition of Disgaea 5 is back in stock. Not sure how many are available, but if you missed it (it's been sold out since before the game launched) this is your chance
@gcunit Wow - how did you manage to go 20 years without playing Mario 64? That's like missing out on Star Wars.
Admittedly it's aged a lot and the camera that was awful in 1996 is atrocious in 2017 but the game was completely revolutionary in just about every single way when it was released in 1996. The movement is fun and fluid (unlike any 3d game before it) and the structure is very open to let you approach challenges in a lot of different ways. I don't think I'll ever see a single bigger leap in game design and technology.
There's no difference. You've got money to spend on unnecessary video games you can live without. Doesn't matter if it's $60 or $600 or $6000.
So perhaps before telling others how they're wasting their money and what they should be doing with what they worked hard for... take a look in the mirror.
Psalms 22:16 (1,000 yrs before Christ)
They pierced My hands and feet
Isaiah 53:5 (700 yrs before Christ)
He was pierced for our transgressions

You guys had me at blood and semen.
What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?
7 new NEOGEO games incoming! (God bless you Hamster!) Art of Fighting 3, Street Hoop, Fighter's Destiny, Soccer Brawl (YES!), World Heroes, Top Hunter Roddy and Cathy and ulp...at last...The Last Blade (WOOHOO!)
@StuTwo Don't worry, I definitely didn't miss out on Star Wars
I just never had the cash for games as a kid, plus I lived a fairly remote life in a village, so into my teens I had very little opportunity for interaction with consoles. Then I went to uni and a flatmate did have an N64, but they didn't have SM64 for it, so the game may as well not have existed. I probably saw moments of it on TV ads or something, but I think I was pretty oblivious to it.
My interest in consoles didn't really start until my lil bro got an Xbox, and never had my own until a fairly late Gamecube, by which SM64 was incompatible, and ancient history. More recently I've been meaning to get the DS version, but the polygons and fairly plain textures of the N64 have never held any nostalgia for me.
I can instantly see why people love it though. I can deal with the camera I think.

@gcunit I'm not sure you'll be able to deal with the camera later on in the game - it's really terrible and the platforming gets harder.
To be honest it's at its strongest in the first few levels anyway. The later levels aren't quite as polished IMO. Still an astonishing accomplishment in 1996 though. It's easy to see looking back why so many wanted to clone it but no-one ever really came close to matching it on its own terms.
Still giddily waiting on my copy of Odyssey to arrive...
Mario 64 always felt a bit rushed. I mean, I have fond memories of levels like Bob-omb Battlefield and Dire Dire Docks. Tick Tock Clock on the other hand can go die in a hole
I skipped the N64 and when I went back into its catalogue on the Wii VC Super Mario 64 was the one game I struggled to get into. It's not like its a bad game but when you play it alongside more recent releases? It doesn't really hold up IMO. To put it another way, on my Wii when I was playing these N64 games? Ocarina of Time felt like a just as good but scaled down version of Twilight Princess. Super Mario 64 felt like a game from the mid 90s.
