That is funny. I remember that is when I first started comparing the same games on different consoles. I got Mortal Kombat 2 on SNES and my friend had it on Genesis. So, I went out and got it on Genesis, just to compare the two. I remember liking it better on the Genesis. Mine did come with Super Mario World. But when I got my NES, back in the 80's, it did not come with the Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt combo, nor did it come with the red gun. Mine came with R.O.B. and Duck Hunt alone, and Gyromite. It came with the gray gun. I had to buy SMB separately. I could never get R.O.B. to do too much.

I don't mind it. Only once a year. Enjoy it.

Yeah, the Switch is supposed to incorporate a little bit of everything Nintendo has made up to this point. I liked my SNES. It was really ahead of it's time in some areas. I mean, all controllers now, seem to have taken the concept of the SNES controller. I remember being mind blown when I saw the triggers on it. And more than just an A and B button.

I was wondering about Smash Brothers. I have never played any of them. I don't know if my boy would like it or not. Far as fighting games, I do enjoy Mortal Kombat, and I love Street Fighter.

The Wii and Wii U are the only things from Nintendo that we haven't owned. We have all 4 PlayStation's, and 2 Xbox One's. Wii didn't look appealing to me, but I have always liked Nintendo. So, I am going to give it another shot with the Switch. My boy loves Mario, from playing disco's 3DS. I like that the Switch games are mini cartridges like a DS, so the boy is at no risk of scratching a disc. Plus, there are a lot more kid friendly games, which is usually the case with Nintendo. I already bought Super Mario Odyssey and Minecraft for it. He has played Minecraft on the PS3, so he is familiar with it. I want to get him the Paw Patrol game too, since that is his show right now. I haven't played a Zelda game since the original NES. I never cared for the second one, but I loved the first one.

I thought that started the day after Thanksgiving. A little early.

I think that's the main selling point. I'm also looking at the Xbox style controller for it.

What's your take on the Switch? I am getting my boy one for Christmas.

Unfortunately. That seems to be the plan.

Yeah. Sega went nowhere fast. Now you can play Sonic on Nintendo. Which is almost on the same level of messed up as if one day, we were playing Mario on PS or Xbox.

Well, since I posted this, our plans may change. If I can get this refrigerator tomorrow that I am looking at, then we will do it. I need a second fridge. As ridiculous as that sounds, I really need a second refrigerator.

Oh shit. The 32X isn't even worth mentioning. I bought that piece of shit, and it did nothing for my Genesis, at all. A total waste of money. And I forgot about the Saturn. I knew I was forgetting one.

I have seen them, and they looked like garbage, which is why I didn't buy it. Sega Genesis was an awesome machine, but they should have quit then. Sega CD and Sega Dreamcast were not consoles I was a fan of at all.

Cool. Yeah, I want one of those, and a Genesis. Damn I wish I hadn't gotten rid of all of those consoles and games I had. I had a few hundred NES games. Not too many SNES game, but a lot of Genesis games, and N64 games. I still have the GameCube, but nothing before that.

That figures. I guess they wanted to really recreate it. I had to sit on the floor when I was a younger to play it when it was new. I guess if I get one, I'll have to do that again. I kind of wish they would have included Shadowgate and Deja Vu. I used to like those games a lot.

I didn't know you could modify it. I didn't read much on it, just that it had 30 games included.

Let me ask you something off subject, because if anyone would know, it's you. How is the ''new'' NES Classic? I see it has 30 games on it. Is it worth the money?

McDonald's sucks. (Runs before Mini kicks my ass, because I know this isn't about that).

If I'm being honest, and not to sound like some of the other bozo's here, I feel like I am very close to losing what is left of my mind. No, I do not need any help, and I am not depressed. I am stressed. There is a family member that is driving me crazy. Like, seriously, driving me insane. That is the reason I have chosen to skip Thanksgiving all together. I don't want to, but I can't be bothered with unnecessary stress. I'll just make a sandwich and call it done.

Invite Packard over to Zeni's and watch the festivities unfold.

I was very much looking forward to it, but alas, I must skip it. I don't want to, but I just have to pass on it this year.

We don't really do desserts. The main course is what I'll miss.

I don't want to skip, but due to my stress levels, I must.

Holiday pay?

I am. For reasons.
