I'm a 40+ year old gamer based in Australia. A prior retro gaming fan and collector, I'm now returning after selling my collection 10 years ago.

I recently played Ridge Racer Type 4 for the first time on the PlayStation Classic. It was probably my first time playing a PS1 in about 20 years.

I finally picked up a copy of Super Mario 3D All-Stars on Switch. I know it's essentially outdated with the upcoming release of Galaxy + Galaxy 2, but I still wanted a copy for my collection.

Not much this weekend!
Some Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U on Friday, and I dabbled with a few SNES games on the Switch Lite over the weekend.
I had planned to stream playing Super Mario Bros on the NES Classic Mini, but have had a bit of a stomach bug for the past 36 hours.

I am so looking forward to this! I've always been a fan of the Virtual Boy, probably due to the marketing campaign of the mid-1990s. I finally got to own one in about 2010 and was blown away at the fact they had produced a working 3D console 20 years beforehand.

Last night I finally sat down to watch Pixels (2015). A retro gaming related no brainer movie that provided a few laughs here and there. Just what I needed to switch off for a bit.

This weekend I've been toying with the newly received Wii U, mainly playing Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World.
Meanwhile my partner has been going through Fable III on the XBOX 360. (Not Nintendo, I know).

I started streaming Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U this evening. It's a short (~40 min) stream with no commentary due to family commitments at the time. But hopefully there'll be more soon!
