@Sketcz Actually: Some do unyellow paper. Not thousand-year old manuscripts, but newspapers, posters, and books in need of rebinding I've seen. As for guns, sometimes they do clean them, especially if the idea is to fire them. Airplanes get restored, ancient artifacts merely conserved, it all depends on the intended use case. People attempt to restore or mod consoles for the sake of using them, just as people restore cars to drive them. Perhaps it's better to have it look and run right than be unaltered. Fortunately, we're getting closer to the point where retrobright won't be as necessary. Just as cars have aftermarket panels available, more and more consoles are receiving aftermarket shells of good quality.
Though not necessarily from the same line of boards, Tekken is what I want to see soon. But if I had to choose only from the list, Alpine Racer looks like it could be fun.
@HammerGalladeBro iFixit sells replacement batteries for the GamePad, ones said to run longer than the stock one. I installed one in mine almost a year ago, perfect fit, works good. I guarantee the battery will not explode on you, unlike some of those dodgy no-name Chinese batteries.
"...the first time a Ridge Racer game has appeared on a Nintendo console since 2011's Ridge Racer 3D"? What about Ridge Racer 64 added to Nintendo Switch Online at the end of this past January? But in all seriousness, now we HAVE to have Tekken 1-3 on Switch! No more excuses! Give them to me through Arcade Archives! Of course, there is the question of how new a game we can expect. Can we see F-Zero AX? Mario Kart Arcade GP? Castlevania: The Arcade? What's the limit?
My question is this: If eleven years from now the Arcade Archives line is still supported on the systems of the future, will Hamster update the program to reinstate the original melody? Because in just 11 years from now, MGM's The Wizard of Oz shall finally enter the public domain.
They could have released it as a prequel. And maybe it still can. What's stopping this from finally seeing the light of day as part of Rare Replay and Nintendo Switch Online? If Star Fox 2 can see a release many years after cancelation, why not this? True, it might need some debugging, and some box art will need to be made, but otherwise, why not?

Re: "Daunting" - Limited Run Explains How It Resurrected One Of The Most Expensive NES Games Of All Time
Honestly, why don't we have a system in place where one can go to The Library of Congress and licence the unlicensable through them?
