Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee are the only Pokémon games I currently own on Switch and they're easily the best. Accurate Pokémon sizes, consistent frame rate, fun catching/shiny hunting system, and a very nice artstyle that isn't too chibi like the Sinnoh remakes.

All they need to do is to adjust the meta to make it a little more competitive and maybe let you battle wild Pokémon and it would be the perfect game, especially if you could travel back to Kanto.

Gens I, II, and III on NSO would also be appreciated. I expect a shadowdrop of Stadium 2 announced near the middle, then the final announcement is the Pokémon Red intro.

Re: LEGO Expands Its Retro Gaming Collection With A $270 PAC-MAN Arcade Set

@-wc- Lego set pricing is all over the place, especially with licensing.

For example, there are some Lego sets out there with 2,000+ bricks for less than $125. Now Lego Pac-Man comes rolling around with ~2,600 pieces for nearly $300. I agree with some of the other comments. You can buy an 3/4 scale Arcade1Up cab that actually plays Pac-Man for the same amount.

Heck, there's an officially licensed Metal Slug 3 arcade cabinet from a Chinese Lego alternative for 80 bucks on Amazon with ~1,500 pieces, it has just as much functionality as this and looks better too. Goes great with my Neo Geo Mini on my shelf.

I held off on the NES and the Atari for the price and the fact that I am more of an arcade guy than a console guy, but this looks cool especially with the rumor that it will be fully controllable/playable.

Actually, I just picked up the Pantasy Neogeo Metal Slug 3 "Lego" set to satisfy the building block arcade urge for about $70 on Amazon. This will look great next to it.

Re: Nintendo Wins Court Dispute Against Pirated Game Hosting Site

I haven't emulated anything in a while, been buying the official rereleases when possible but dang it really makes no sense to me.

All Nintendo has to do is port games they own with emulators they already have. They would make so much money for practically no effort. Instead they drip 1 or 2 retro games a month for a $50 annual subscription (which I ended up buying anyways for Mario Kart DLC, but still).
