Actually baffled how badly Bluepoint has been managed. Why would you buy a studio that specialises in remaking classic games that need a remake and then not have them work on remaking your classic games that need a remake. Lunacy.

Another new arrival today 🙌

Looks like Nintendo are sending out the Virtual Boys early. Mine came with a Nintendo Magazine for some reason(?) and yeah, I only got the cardboard one, but it’s a lot sturdier than the Labo headset

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

Finally, a good metroidvania this year

I don't really follow super hero stuff, so I'm sure this guy is old news and has been clowned on for decades already, but Marvel Cosmic Invasion opens by having you play as a guy named Richard Rider.

Pretty sure that would result in the population convulsing on the ground

Interesting convo with the gf this morning

Hot take: this shit is ass

I was absolutely baffled watching his preview. Felt like an April fools joke or something because who the fuck is this for??

There was a guy standing outside taking pictures of the store using a 3DS, so I one-upped him and whipped out a Wii. Then I remembered the Wii doesn’t take pictures 🤷‍♂️

I also completely forgot that Alarmo was a thing and was tempted to pick one up, but then I also remembered the price…

All I got was a Nintendo Tokyo t-shirt and a little Kirby plush. You don’t want to know how much it all came to…

I finally went and visited the #Nintendo pop-up store in London. I didn’t get much (because I’m not a millionaire), but I did get a couple of bits…

Nah, the frozen pizza section in Tesco’s. Eating them raw to cool down

I’m watching football in Woking this evening and I brought a jumper, jacket, scarf and woolly hat and I barely need the jumper. I’m so confused. I should be fucking freezing
