I went retro and bought an original last year. Albeit mine is a Japanese version because it looks way cooler.

Not quite the latest release, but Layers of Fear is pretty good.
Play it at night, before bed time...

Mentioned that one to my kid. He is a little peeved that it is limited to 30 games and that he can basically do that now with an emulator.
That is pretty cool. Definitely a +1 over the retrcon (sp?) unitI went retro and bought an original last year. Albeit mine is a Japanese version because it looks way cooler.
Edit: kid just said that he thinks it will only play the Japanese cartridges. Any truth to that?

Short answer: It only plays Japanese cartridges.
Long answer: Nintendo implemented multiple layers of regional lockout, all of which are possible to defeat but it requires modifying the console

Yah, it's really hard to beat the emulators. If you're into that (and not TRUE retro gaming) check out the hyperspin/rocketlauncher front end combo, it's the slickest emulation system I've seen to date. This vid just shows the some of the MAME (arcade) graphical front-ends but the main menu wheel lets you choose from all the classic systems. Find the game you want from virtually ANY system you want, click enter, and you're playing it
Works great for stand-up arcade builds or just gaming on your couch with a wireless xbox controller.[video=youtube;PeQbvJ7zMD0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeQbvJ7zMD0[/video]

@Xhumeka my neighbour retro fitted an old cabinet with a pc loaded with MAME my BIL bought it for $400. Has ~2000 games, most are Japanese, but has all the popular ones except for Galaga. Also has the games that show the Playboy pics between levels ?

If you weren't happy with NMS and want a space shooter. You should check out Star Citizen. I picked up this the other day and I'm having tons of fun with it right now. Games still not done, but is looking to become the next EVE online. There will be a player based economy in game. Different jobs you could do to make cash, lots of ships to pick from.
This game is rather expensive, but you can currently get into the game for $60. From here you can look to rent any ship in game with a little time and effort. This is for PC only. Not sure if this will mix over into consoles or not.
Have a look. Here's the link. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/
And! I also started up Duke Nukem Forever. If you thought NMS was bad... Duke has changed for the worse.

League of Lengends right now for the most part, but I'm not good at it.
I was playing Witcher 3, but got into the books and started reading them instead.
Tried Witcher 2. but the interface seems kludgy after 3.
Will probably be getting back into Toontown (Rewritten & Fellowship), and Wizard101 in October, go ahead and laugh.

You must not be having any fun then because the community in that game is cancerous.

I tend to play in bots, people leveling up seem appreciative. I just recently lost my Teamwork honor, and had Mentor at one point. Been playing normals on a low level account (10 now), and honestly people are pretty o.k. there, although there are a lot of smurfs, so you don't know if you're going to be the slaughteree or slaughterer sometimes. Toontown and Wizard101 are pretty good communities, and I have pretty high characters there.

If or when you get to level 30 and start playing ranked you will regret even playing that game.

Kids do, and they do. Sometimes. Then they switch to Roblox or something else. They do tend to play with a group of friends from school, so the harassment from each other is good natured kidding around.
I guess I should let my son play Witcher 3, it was his game after all. He just couldn't play it on his laptop.
Gears of war on Tuesday - boys weekend at the cottage the following weekend. My liver will need recovery time.
