Same. Kind of figured it would happen. I guess I'll just wait until I get an email from one of the other retailers.

I finally beat the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy last night. Great game, took me back to the halcyon days of the late 90s.

Re: Gamecube, fucking loved a lot of games on it but the controller was terrible. That Ocarina of Time/Majora's Mask combo disc was my favorite, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Super Smash and Double Dash. Good times, though my cube broke like 10 years ago.

Wrong. You were probably an XBox "Duke" fan weren't you?

PS2 controller is ok, but they really didn't get it right until the Dualshock 4 in terms of hand comfort.

Yep, totally agree. I went from PS2 to the Xbox 360, then on to PS4. I was a little worried about getting used to the PS controller again, however it instantly felt natural and balanced.

The PS2 controller was one of the worst ever, IMO.

My boys have the 1st gen Wii that has the GC control ports and can play GC discs. It's also modded with a tonne of emulators and games from 8bit through to GC (inc N64).

It's a glorious little system.

Apparently the Atari Flashback is having new games developed for it, as well as emulated classics. Which sounds awesome.

I'm just not sure of which of their consoles it's going to be emulating. Anyone know yet?

Too bad Atari games mostly suck.
