You know what the G stands for.

It's an all-email RFN as we catch up on the backlog. James is out this week, signaling a return to the dignity, professionalism, and focused discussion that only Jon's hosting can provide.

First we revisit Jon's recent GameStop odyssey and discuss our further adventures in the land of Pro Memberships. We then offer what past games we think would be great candidates for Switch 2 upgraded editions. After the break we tackle how to cope with the punishment of F-Zero GX, whether or not Nintendo would release new games for virtual consoles, and what we might do with a modern Princess Peach game and the series as a whole.

We also learn that Git Gud should really be Git Gui'd. Learn the tracks, you scrub!

Dan Hess remade the Birdman music with higher quality instrumentation. It sounds great

Jon mentioning how in the past people moved on from consoles once the next one came out reminds me of when I bought an NES as a kid in late 1993.  I had gotten the itch to play the original Zelda so when Funcoland had something like a used NES and a game for $20 I had to get one.  I walked in and asked the 20-something clerk for a Nintendo and Zelda.  I remember him pausing and giving me a funny look.  He asked me if I meant a Super Nintendo and A Link to the Past.  I said no, an original Nintendo and the first Zelda please.  He continued giving me a perplexed look and again asked me if I was sure.  I said yes.  He said alright in an “it’s your funeral pal” tone and went and got them for me.  My friends were also surprised I “wasted” $20 on an old game like that.
