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.

It's been a bit of a slow month. I've certainly been seeing a bunch of games at thrift stores, but it's just been the usual sports games, Wii exercise games, Kinect Adventures, and occasional Lego game. No new releases have me interested and I've been mostly chilling with Pokemon Sapphire and Pokemon Colosseum, trying to get all 386 Pokemon.

Balloon Fight-e

The e-Reader had Donkey Kong Jr. still saved on it which was neat and I have a few old Pokemon cards that have e-Reader dot codes on them. Overall, the device is neat as an early DLC idea, but looking at the requirements for hooking the device up to another GBA, I can see why it never caught on outside of Japan. Having one of these e-Readers now though, makes me wish I could go back like 20 years and tell my kid self to hold on to the e-Reader cards that came with Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
