I’m still eagerly Animal Crossing New Horizons Items anticipating that the Pokemon direct. Hopefully they step it up from Sword and Shield which was mediocre at best. Nintendo games have a certain Kind of magic that you can’t get anywhere else but I would also be lying if I said Nintendo made it easy to become a fan most of the time

I’ve been thinking along those lines, also. Just prepared for something fresh. I have been trying to grab a PS5 or a Xbox collection X for a couple months (no luck so far). I will still keep my Shift round to whenever BOTW2 comes out or possibly Odyssey 2 or some other very exciting games, but I’m quite excited to branch out a little and try these out Netflix-style game catalog streaming things. I believe that it’s where gambling is headed and it’s actually consumer friendly.

(FWIW, I believe Nintendo is like 30% of the way there using their NES and SNES libraries. When they added N64 and Gamecube, and continue fleshing out the collections, and add in some current-gen titles, it might be a pretty competitive service… but that is a long way off, if they ever get it done…)

Just like you mention, I am also really sick of spending $60 to get a 10-15 hour match. And I have a fantastic job and salary and bells for sale animal crossing operate fulltime. It still feels like too much.
