So the Nintendo upgrade for Switch 2 is free and it is widely reported to be pretty awesome on the switch 2

Right now, on Amazon (same affiliate link above in 1st post), the price is $59 right now.  I want to wait for a cheaper price... part of me doesn't believe I'll see a cheaper price and wants to pull the trigger.  But... it's $59  8) 

What to do...  ???

I want the switch version for mobility reasons. But I'm tempted to get the PS4 for price and / or the PS5 for the platinum trophy either way.

There's a deal on Amazon right now for Transformers One 4K + Blu-ray + Digital package.  There's a coupon to get it around $17.48.  That's a decent deal for the 4K + Blu-ray combo these days.  I like to try to find them a bit Lower.. but that's just not been my luck, even since last Black Friday.  4K only... or Blu-ray only... yes.  Both... no

There was an on sale Transformers One (Topic linked) Steel Book. I took the opportunity and secured my Steel Book lol.

It's no longer on sale, but if you're interested in the Steel Book:

This is a well done animated movie.  I highly recommend a view at the least.

Bumping this up.  Have any of you tried any of the cloud services?  I thought maybe @CreepinDeth @trkorecky @Polygon would have some experiences with them.  Curious on if they are worth trying out or what the status is at this point.

It seems with the price or RAM and Disks right now... hardware prices increases, and the verbiage of business leaders seemingly pushing more hardware as a service (HaaS) scenarios... there is a chance these will potentially start taking off more

Post it up!

Pretty crazy... on 02/27/26, Pokemon Turned 30!  I started playing Pokémon back when it 1st came out.  I believe it was the Blue version, but ended up owned the Red and Yellow versions as well.  I remember putting a lot of playtime in this game during a snowstorm and had a lot of down time lol.   Downtime... those were the days.  Not really sure what Downtime is today.

I ended up getting the IceBlue Game Boy (not color) as mentioned in a Thread here.  I thought that came with Pokemon, but that may have been Zelda where I then also bought Pokémon at the same time.  I'll have to find the box as I still have that as well.  That was the console I used once I bought it... the slim version was extremely handy and easier to tote around.  I remember giving my Pokémon ridiculous names lol... but was it a lot of fun!  :great:   There's also a new Pokémon game called  Pokémon Pokopia - topic coming soon.

Nintendo page for the event:

Video from the Nintendo Article:


As a part of the "celebration" they also discussed the Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension DLC:



Hard to believe it's been 30 years.  Time sure flies!  What are your memories of Pokémon and what have you enjoy over all the years of Pokémon?  Thoughts,  comments... post it up!

@retro junkie - I have a Early edition as well and was able to find the Sony branded 64GB memory card ... eventually... that worked well for storing all my games.

Interesting... I didn't play the World of Final Fantasy - we might need a topic on that.  I see the price new still hovers around $31.  I might look into that title.

I used to use the remote play on PS3.. and it worked decently (a bit better) with the PS4, thought the Vita buttons weren't totally mapped right for Call of Duty style games.  I was playing PS4 games from my bed many times though lol.  Yes, there were disconnects at inopportune times.  Though those were not so bad.  I also used the Vita to message people in the network as it was MUCH easier to type and get messages out on the VITA than from the PlayStation console and controller.

Support was a very odd thing with the Vita.  I couldn't totally understand how it received such a low support level from 3rd party developers.  It really did seem like a good platform.  Maybe there was issues with development or something.  I know Nintendo didn't help by cornering most of the market.
