The screen glows bright in the dim room. Buttons press softly under my fingers as I move them across the controller. Squares light up in different colors, forming patterns and shapes. A whirring noise fills the space around me as the game starts. Characters appear on the screen, moving and fighting against each other. I tap buttons quickly to make them jump and attack. The screen flickers once but stays mostly steady. When I press start, a title screen flashes briefly before the game begins again, smoother this time. It’s like magic happening right in front of my eyes, all through these little plastic pieces.
