Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox A fake sick day, a borrowed Ferrari, a principal on the warpath, and one unforgettable parade through downtown Chicago. In this Backtrack, we’re revisiting Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, John Hughes’ classic 1986 comedy about skipping school, seizing the moment, and somehow making it all look effortless. Forty years later, we’ll talk about why Ferris, Cameron, Sloane, and the city of Chicago still connect with Gen X fans — and why life really does move pretty fast.

The EVERCADE NEXUS is here, and Blaze is promising its biggest handheld upgrade yet! With a larger 5.89-inch IPS display, dual analog sticks, improved ergonomics, and all-new EverSync local wireless multiplayer, there's plenty to get excited about. But is this simply the next evolution of the Evercade handheld, or a genuine leap forward for retro gaming? In this video, I get hands-on with the Evercade Nexus to explore its new hardware, features, and performance. We'll take a closer look at the controls, display, and overall design, check out the included Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack, and see how this new handheld fits into the growing Evercade ecosystem of officially licensed physical game cartridges. At $199.99, does the Nexus offer enough to tempt existing Evercade owners to upgrade? And is it the right place for newcomers to jump into Evercade gaming?
