I remember when it was suddenly announced and constantly looking at the official site for every detail that would get released fully knowing it would probably never get released (it came out after the DS was released and the GBA was sort of dying).

Really wish I had a job back then (I was a teenager) and was able to get my hands on that Mother 3 Gameboy Micro.

I loved the second one SNES and played it a bit when it was new growing up.

Finding out there were more games in the series was so cool to me and finding out the extra lore between games really adds a ton when playing the games.

I would really like a remake of the Mother/Earthbound series that modernizes the first two games and really solidifies the connections and lore between all three games.

I think a remaster adding checkpoints to certain missions with some improvements to graphics would be great.

I replayed IV recently on PC and it has aged far better than I'd expected it to.

I'm one of the few people who like the driving controls in this one better than V's.

Legends 3 getting cancelled was super disappointing to me and even if we never see a third game or the other 3 games get rereleased I'd love to see more games that play and have a similar visual style

Not really sure input lag is going to end up being a huge deal aside from titles with classic games that have less than ideal emulators.

I know that the Switch has a game called RingFit that a fair few people that I know enjoy, not sure about anything else on the console and have no idea what's on PlayStation or Xbox (Maybe Just Dance qualifies?)

As for PC, most of what comes to mind is on virtual reality, Beat Sabre is the main one I'm thinking of but there's plenty of fitness apps as well. No idea if PCVR or Quest would be a better idea as far as that's concerned but it's a weird time to buy VR sets because better headsets are around the corner.

If you want to play lots of classic games, you may also want to consider something like a RaspberyPi or an android emulator box.

I can't say much about how a lot of emulators run on these, but many can run up to the PS2 fairly competently as well as some more complicated to emulate consoles like the Saturn (multiplatform games are usually better on PS1 this generation and while it has a lot of really cool exclusives, it's hard to justify paying 400-1000$ for some of the better titles)

I would recommend a PS3, the fact that it's fairly easy to jailbreak at this point makes it one of the best. There's also tons of emulators for it that you can play games from other consoles with.

If you're hoping to only play legitimate software it's still a pretty good choice given most charity shops have a good supply of games, blurays also don't scratch as easily as regular DVDs.

A lot of consoles older than the PS3 esp anything from Nintendo GameCube and previous are in huge demand with collectors so you'll be paying a ton for some of the more desirable games.

One more thing, if you wear glasses you'll need prescription lenses. I didn't know this when I first started with my set and I had to keep squinting to see anything at all.

I think this is an issue for people who are near sighted, if you're far sighted you might be fine but I'm not sure.
Or you can learn to wear contacts.

I'm a pretty big VR enthusiast, mostly for social VR and some games (really want to try Bonelab out) and am also wanting to start a career in VR development. I'm not sure if buying a set right now in general is a great idea.

Seems to me like newer and better sets like the Pico 3 Neo, Quest 3, PSVR2 etc. are right around the corner and it would be better to wait, not to mention the recent price hike with the Quest 2 making it a bit difficult to justify at this point in my opinion.

Some people are saying that VR can be a gimmick and you may not like it, I'd see if you can go somewhere to try it first. There's VR escape rooms and stuff like that in a lot of places, maybe try one of those first to see if you like it?

Hoping that Sony supports the PSVR2 more than the original PSVR but we wont really know until after it comes out.
