Legendary Weapon: 5 or fewer unfinished games
Consider Yourself a Hero: Majority of games are beaten
I will also not play the multiplayer modes of any Call of Duty games I will play. I am sure they were good at the time. I am not interested in that kind of multiplayer experience, I have to say. Surely I am missing part of the game this way, but I don't think that I will care enough.

Coincidentally, Half-Life was also one of my eye-openers for the FPS genre, but it was probably the third or fourth in a row of good FPS games, after which I finally admitted to myself, that they were more than just "gratuitous violence". GoldenEye was the first, I think, it was followed by Perfect Dark and I also played Halo: Combat Evolved before Half-Life. But Half-Life eclipsed them all. It was only eclipsed (in part) by Half-Life 2 afterwards, to be honest... so I think, it is still one of two masterpieces of the genre to me. I almost consider Portal/Portal 2 and Metroid Prime/2: Echoes different subgenres, to be honest, as the focus is not so much on the shooting alone, but also on the puzzle solving and exploring....

I will probably emulate some of the Rare games, I am not a fan of NSO (or similar subscription plans where you do not actually own the game), and have played a bit of Banjo-Pilot and it was... okay... not more than that, from what I played. I will investigate that game some more though, before I give a final judgement...

Just like you, I am in no hurry with the Switch successor. It will debut whenever it will debut and until then I will surely still have plenty of great games to play. =)

The IPs I would like to see Nintendo resurrect the most would probably be F-Zero and Wave Race, to be honest. I am sure with a new console they could show a lot more potential, the first with new speeds, the second with even more accurate liquids simulation.
I hope Nintendo will not forget these series forever.
I guess we have to wait and see...

I am enjoying Resident Evil a lot, but I always am. I think it is one of the genre's all time classics and the GameCube remake (and probably the thereupon based HD versions) is just the game perfected. I loved (and still love) the graphics, the look and feel, the atmosphere, the updated storyline and the puzzles a lot. I already went through it with Jill, now I need to finish it with Chris. And then I will move on to REZero. Lets see what I will think of that one, around twenty years after its first release.

Oh, and enjoy Castlevania!!
