Like with the Xbox 360, I patiently acquired the necessary things to have a PlayStation move from thrift stores. It took longer than I expected since I figure I'd see the controllers and camera you need at thrift stores about as often as a Xbox Kinect, but that ended up not being the case.

I was happy to finally get BotW for a decent price since I was in the mood to play it again, but didn't feel like dusting off my Wii U to do so. Also playing the Switch 2 upgraded version sounded appealing.

The GBA I plan on trying out a screen mod. I've been curious about doing that with the original model GBA, but didn't want to do anything to my childhood console. With the Top Loader NES, I learned that while all legacy video ports (S-Video for example) are pretty much gone from modern TVs, you can still hook up anything that outputs RF. I assumed that the coaxial/antenna port on the TV would only accept a digital signal, but nope. For shits 'n giggles I hooked up the NES to it and it showed up on the screen. It doesn't look great of course, but it does look better than I expected and way better than hooking the console through a VCR with HDMI out.
