As someone who has played most of the Metroid games (OG NES, GB 2, Super, Fusion, the whole Prime trilogy, Dread), I think I’m done with this one. I’m not enjoying myself at all, sadly. (Yes, I may have raged quit after dying to a certain boss 4 times in a row)

Been awhile since I posted on the old retro game collection. My wife picked up a few games for my collection over the holidays that I surprisingly never owned, but played a lot with friends who did own them.

Finally got around to building the LEGO Game Boy set from last October. It’s definitely one of the better sets to come out in a long time. Would love if they made expansions for it, for example: a Pokémon cart included with one of the LEGO Pokémon sets.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Also, just before Christmas, I received my Mega Man Hand-Drawn Game Guide from kickstarter in the mail. @heyphilsummers.bsky.social hit this one out of the park! Super high quality and vibrant! Love it. (forgot to post this when I got it, due to being sick throughout the holidays)

Right after recovering from being sick over the holidays, I received a flat tire on my way to work. Starting 2026 off great!

Been a bit, work and vacations have kept me busy. Anyway, back on Black Friday, a distracted driver hit my vehicle with my wife and myself in it. Thankfully no one was hurt, but had to have my back passenger door and tire replaced and body work done. Not a fun time.

Obligatory “new phone who dis” post. 13 to 17 Pro.

Looks like spooky season starts this weekend 👻🏚️🎃

I finally about 100% completed Donkey Kong Bananza over the weekend. Not to spoil anything, I completed the post-game challenges and was left a small bit disappointed - the game is amazing, one of the best plot twists in a while (iykyk), but I wanted more of an ending after those challenges.

I’m terrible at posting, sorry. Summer vacations and busy workdays are taking up my time. I’ll get to posting regularly (hopefully) soon, if only for myself. Anyway, here’s a few random pictures from last month at one of my favorite Disney World resorts, Port Orleans Riverside.

Last Wednesday, I finally received an email from Nintendo, granting me a chance to purchase the Switch 2 directly from Nintendo themselves. It hasn’t been in stock in any of the stores around, so I decided to order online from Nintendo. (Today I got an email saying it will arrive Thursday)

Also, went over to Magic Kingdom last Saturday to also say goodbye to the Rivers of America (Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island go away next month) - fun fact, in all my years of going to WDW, I had never ever stepped foot on Tom Sawyer Island. I liked the Fort… that is all.

I’m terrible at posting. Anyway, was on vacation last week. Last Saturday, I paid my respects and went to Hollywood Studios to see MuppetVision 3D for the last time (on its final day of operation).

I literally just realized that my childhood copy of SMB3 was a first production “Left Bros” cartridge - my father must’ve really wanted to play it and got it right away when it was released. (It became one of his favorite games ever) I absolutely love my NES collection - so many memories.

Did a thing over the weekend. Needed a new vehicle for a while.

Figures. Gotta love the situation we are in. Well, maybe I’ll get one by this time next year.

Definitely going to try picking up a Switch 2 after it launches, will be away on vacation on June 5th. Hopefully in-store stock will be good.

Didn’t expect to find a couple random NES games I didn’t own this weekend (in great condition, btw)

Preordered the Medieval Seaside Market set :) - a nice set that works as a bridge between the Lion Knight’s Castle and the El Dorado Fortress 🏰 #LEGO

Over the last year and so, my wife has gotten very into #LEGO, which in turn has gotten me back into it, as well. I used to collect Lego back in the 90s and still had everything in totes. Recently, we’ve have been working on cleaning, finding, and bundling all my old sets.

Acquired some more NES games for the collection this month: Mega Man 4, TMNT 3, and Snake’s Revenge. Took some time to play Mega Man 4 on Saturday (played TMNT 3 recently on the Cowabunga Collection) - MM4 isn’t my favorite, but I have massive nostalgia for it (rented it so many times as a kid).

Very nice. Definitely picking up this set when it gets released *as I stare at the LEGO NES and Deku Tree sets I have and haven’t built yet*

Wanting to start posting on here, mostly random stuff either about the different things I collect or whatever is interesting to myself. Going to try and use this account and X both. Well, first off, the following is a few NES games I’ve acquired last month. Mega Man 1 in pristine condition.
