If I remember correctly it’s only the American version that is like this? Kinda remember Japanese version being harder. I’m sure you’ve heard the joke of us wanting to enter the cpu into a tournament- it would get top 8 for sure

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

@stephenhilger.bsky.social thanks for the heads up that 9 sols has a story mode. Picked it up a while back on a sale and never started it fearing how hardcore it was going to be. Loading it up!

Bully

Hulk ultimate destruction has been mentioned in all combat design discussions for the past 20 years! Shoutout to Eric Holmes and the rest of radical for a great game

I miss fixed camera angles in games. Both making them and playing them.

Games in pre-alpha

The DS lite might be one of the biggest glow ups of all time resulting in arguably still one of the best portables ever

Never played any earthbound / mother game before. Picked up a hacked gba cartridge with the English fan translation off of Etsy to check out. I still prefer playing on original hardware

transition music in a metroid sitcom

Never played the non Tyson version.

Get to or just jump to episode 7. I think it’s by far the best episode in the whole season. Directed by a cinematographer and a lot of it is shot on film

@bb.wavelengths.online gba micro and wario ware twisted are a perfect combo. Also the switch lite is really good for all the back catalog switch online stuff

Mario kart DS may still be the best single player Mario kart

The new Superman movie reminds me that we used to get weird movie tie in games by a developer cutting their teeth that would have 1 or 2 good ideas buried in them. Games are always hard to make but a lot of devs are missing ways to get their reps in

68.7 billion dollars….

I miss Nintendo making weird hardware such as the GBA micro, all the versions of the 2ds, etc. What I’m really saying is I want a Switch Lite clam shell

Why We're Opening Betting Sponsorships in Esports & How We're Doing It Responsibly The guardrails we’re putting in place to ensure competitive integrity as we open this category for esports teams

Wow

This is an insanely cynical and morally abhorrent move

I feel sorry for the devs there and more sorry for the families of the folks whose gambling addictions this will nurture

@reichenstein.bsky.social obviously it didn’t take off but I still think about - what was it called? IA writer pro? Having one app where you moved (with different fonts) between note taking, writing, proofreading, editing was an interesting idea.

Branding is important!

That’s in the Nintendo app? I still need to see how that works.

Donkey Kong not releasing at launch has definitely allowed me to dive into Mario Kart more than I probably would’ve….but you know someone messed up somewhere by not having those dates line up

While getting a new console is always fun, it’s also a lot of work involving new cables, power cords, etc. turns out my switch 1 was still using my Xbox 360 hdmi cable?! (Think it was the longest one I had at one point)

This Mario kart world mini map?! So good!

I don’t know if I’m ready to break up with my Nintendo switch yet. I love my switch oled.

Part of me feels like this will never be released - they will be acquired by Apple and this will be integrated into osx

Quote by Akira "Akiman" Yasuda, head of Capcom illustration. "Okamoto was so angry with the game that the CEO of Incredible Technologies tried to patch things up by inviting us over to her home. The house was humongous — it had a basement area, a huge 200-inch projection screen TV, a game room ... it was an impressively luxurious house. Seeing that house actually made my heart sink further, just with how big it was, and how little money I had myself. I mean, we'd created this huge hit with Street Fighter 2, but I didn't get rich off of it. It wasn't until much later, long after the development of Street Fighter 2, that we actually started to see some money come in. It wasn't until it looked like we all might quit, and then Capcom brought in a consulting group and we were finally given raises. But before that, we didn't see a lot of money from the games we made."

This sobering quote from Akiman about the time some of the street fighter team visited the home of the president of Incredible Technologies, the subcontracted US studio that made the Street Fighter: The Movie game
