Sorry this is late. It's been a heck of week trying to catch up from that annoying downtime with the internet. Anyway, I picked up a Nintendo Switch on a whim. This is probably my midlife crisis. I'll be picking up a Playstation 4 Pro in a few weeks. lol. Anyway, for my 41st birthday, I picked up a Nintendo Switch so I can relive my youth playing Mario and Zelda. And Donkey Kong. And probably Kirby too. It's definitely a cute little toy and I seriously doubt I'll ever mess with it much undocked. Do you guys have one? What games do you like?

Now that I've got platform agnostic this generation buy getting every system, I thought I'd weigh in on things. First up, I've been an Xbox guy since early 2006. Before that, I was a PC guy pretty much exclusively. I always enjoyed Super Mario Brothers, Castlevania, and Zelda games on Nintendo though. Current Hardware setup: I have a 7.2.2 (2 Dolby Atmos speakers. 7 standard speakers and 2 sub-woofers). have a late model Samsung 4k tv with HDR. I have an Xbox One X, a PlayStation 4 Pro and a Nintendo Switch. Xbox One X Pros Best Hardware as far as power goes. Every game that is on all systems, looks best here. Friendliest User Interface of the bunch Best controller for people with larger hands With the new group feature, hands down best way to organize digital content on any of the consoles. Backwards compatible games Xbox One X enhanced 4k games... even of multiple 360 titles. Negatives Single player games are a bit weak on this system. There are basically no Exclusive games. Especially good story based ones Store is well organized but can be dog slow far too often. PlayStation 4 Pros Best looking console. The flashy lights on both the console and controller appeal to my inner self yelling "Squirrel!" Best Singleplayer exclusive games (Though Nintendo does well here) Games play great on the Pro console Digital Store has a cart. That's great! Negatives The most god-awful user interface I've ever had to deal with. I can see this being an utter nightmare if you get more than 10 or digital games installed. The digital store's search function is obnoxiously bad. Digital stores doesn't even work. Sony is incapable of processing digital purchases. I had to contact support (I never contact support) and they told me to buy a Sony Gift card on Amazon and load money that way to buy digital games. WTF? I want to spend money and they can't even take it. And It was ANY form of payment. I tried credit cards, debit cards and PayPal and it just choked. Did I mention their store sucks? If you have big hands, their controller is a bit dainty. Did I mention their store sucks? Nintendo Switch Pros Portable Zelda: Breath of the Wild Mario Odyssey Negatives Underpowered hardware, though Nintendo does their thing well with it. Motion controller is gimicky Switch controller joypad thingy is goofy Pro controller is expensive as hell

So I played the original version of this on Gameboy back when it released. The music brings so much back. I've not played a lot so far, but what I have played has been fun and cute.

So, I have been addicted to the Mario Bros since the original Nintendo came out when I was a kid. I just picked up the New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe for Switch over the weekend and I was playing that. https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/new-super-mario-bros-u-deluxe-switch/ I think this is the first Mario Bros in quite some time that gave me the feeling of the original. Or probably more truthfully, like my favorite on Nintendo, Super Mario 3. The graphics are really pretty too. They did some nice lighting effects. It makes me look forward to Luigi's Mansion. Anyone else enjoy Mario Bros?
