Applying generative AI to adjust genuine artifacts with pejorative alterations is an unethical distortion of history. As John Adams wrote to John Trumbull, "Truth, Nature, Fact, should be your sole guide. Let not our Posterity be deluded by fictions under pretence of poetical or graphical Licenses."

While I will not share scans of the book, there are forty pages of content including a brief overview of the museum exhibits, merchandise, and brand new interviews with Miyamoto, Tezuka, Nakago, and Kondo. It also features scans from the art gallery.

Currently guests may only purchase one copy of the Nintendo Museum Official Book. This means that you cannot purchase both the English and Japanese versions at the same time. Your play ticket is scanned to confirm if you have already made a purchase that day.

I am honored to have been the producer for the UNDERTALE 10th Anniversary special stream version. It was as fun to work on as it was to watch, thanks to the three musketeers and @tobyfox.undertale.com! I also conceptualised the UNDERTALE Memories project with @fangamer.com.

Stay determined!

This is a transcription of the original text from the Super Mario Bros. experimental specifications in Japanese, as written by Shigeru Miyamoto.

The art exhibit at the Nintendo Museum showcases real history.

Content includes prototype designs, official key art, comics, sprite sheets, and internal memos. Many items feature hanko stamps and notes from developers including Miyamoto, Tezuka, Yokoi, and more!

I have taken inventory of the new art exhibit at the Nintendo Museum. It is a profound display of Nintendo development history.

Artwork includes Splatoon, Pikmin, Animal Crossing, Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Mario, Kirby, and Fire Emblem spanning over four decades of Nintendo history.

BitSummit was a fun success. It was a great opportunity to see Uematsu-san, Tanaka-san, and meet with friends old and new. We even won a Media Award for Alabaster Dawn!

A painful example is how the Wikipedia citation that tracks Ape's evolution into Creatures now hinges on an Internet Archive snapshot whose text can no longer be read. If we safeguard the software but allow its history to fade, future scholars will be left with conjecture instead of empirical proof.

While I support video game preservation as an art form, the record that explains how and why those games were made must also endure. Interviews, oral histories, and developer commentaries are already vanishing as newspaper archives close, old magazines disappear, and web links vanish.

From the Hyakunin Isshu, number 29, written by Oshikochi no Mitsune.

"To pluck a stem
I shall have to guess
for I cannot tell apart
white chrysanthemums
from the first frost."

As we step into the New Year, let us approach each moment with care and clarity as we embrace the beauty of the unknown.

百人一首の第29番、凡河内躬恒(おしこうちのみつね)によって詠まれた和歌です。

「心あてに
折らばや折らん
初霜の
置きまどわせる
白菊の花」

新しい年を迎えるにあたり、一瞬一瞬を大切に、明確な心で向き合いながら、未知なる美しさを受け入れましょう。

I recently had the opportunity to tour Riot Games thanks to a kind invitation from their talented illustrator, @misfortuneee.bsky.social. I was simultaneously impressed and overwhelmed with the scale of their studio, but the most memorable part was exploring with a fellow fashion loving dev.
