there were probably other sources but way back I spent a night just playing through mmx2 and capturing clips of things zsKnight asked to see. they weren't particularly good captures (240p30 iirc) but I guess it was enough to figure out what was intended

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! 🎶 The totally valid SNES nostalgia for a generation. And the gateway to Onett, Narshe, and Porre I'll always be grateful for. 💜

Thinking of Actraiser, I would absolutely love a remake of Actraiser 2 with an added simulation mode like the original. It already has great music, visuals, and fun gameplay mechanics. I still finished and enjoyed that game, but could have been so much better.

I'm pretty close to finishing Act 3 of Silksong. One thing that struck me at this point is just how amazing the boss battles are. In the original, I never had the urge to re-fight any bosses. However, in Silksong, beating a boss feels incredibly satisfying and makes me want to battle them again.

Finally finished Hollow Knight. Originally put it off a few years ago as the theme didn't click with me, but tried it again recently and loved it. Great gameplay, challenge, level design, and environments. Tons of little details and encounters that makes it feel extra special. Highly recommended!

The thing I'm most excited about the Switch 2 is to see how far Nintendo can stretch that extra performance. Already starting to see it with the open world Mario Kart, so it's starting to look good. Still bummed with no new Mario, but hope to see it soon.
