Feel the same way. Never got into the emulators even though I had plenty of chances to.

Plus, they don't always seem to run 100 percent accurate.

I have a hard time watching movies or TV shows in mobile devices too. Short videos are fine, but anything longer than 20 minutes or so needs to be on a bigger screen.

Battlefront is fun. I played Hero Mode a ton last night. I didn't even realize the mode was in the game.

I wouldn't hate this. If they can get a reliable Virtual Console that can carry over your previous VC purchases it would be great. Not sure this will move them out of third place however.

Yeah, especially if they can get the power to be around a PS3.5 and output to 1080p when it is docked to a TV. Battery life could be an issue too. I really like the idea of having a home/mobile console all in one. They just need to figure out the online ID/purchase history part.

I'm very curious to read/hear about what people think of No Man's Sky.

I just bought the HD remaster of Wind Waker, my favorite Zelda game. Very much looking forward to revisiting it.

Sounds like it's pretty good if you're into that sort of thing, but I don't think it's for me.

Yeah, I'm not sure if it is my type of game or not. I do enjoy Zen like games.
