We remember the best of the best classics, and forget the ones that sucked. When you watch classics, you’re watching the ones that have stood the test of time.

Decades from now, some of today’s shows will looked back on the same way. Many will not, but we won’t even be thinking about the ones that didn’t.

Then why comment at all?

I couldn’t believe they announced the Pokémon Legends DLC before the game is even out. “I know you haven’t given us your money yet, but… please can we have some more? 🥺”

Doesn’t every AAA do that these days?

Apparently they’re selling two versions. One is the full scale VB, and that’s clearly a collector’s item. The other is the VB-themed Labo VR.

And if Nintendo thought Wario Land was so great then why did they stop making those games like 2 decades ago?

Because the last games didn’t sell so well, and because the staff that worked on them have other projects.

Just because a game didn’t get infinite sequels forever doesn’t mean no one can appreciate the originals. By that logic, Chrono Trigger must be one of the worst JRPGs of all time to you.

It’s a VB-themed redesign of the Labo VR kit. Should presumably be compatible with everything Labo VR supported (like, three titles I think?). Maybe the fact that they’re bringing it back means they might reuse it in the future?

Well, no Splatoon Raiders was a surprise, was sure that’d be featured. I called Mario sports, Fire Emblem, and Yoshi.

Love the art style. In-game actually looks better than the cutscenes.

I’ve got a lot of nostalgia for DS homebrew. Tons of fun things you can do with a flashcart.

3DS too, but although modding was a lot more widespread due to how easy it was, I feel like homebrew games were kinda lacking. Custom themes were great at least.

Look at gacha games. There’s an entire industry revolving around selling anime girls, and when you realize that’s what the business model is, it’s not surprising how toxic their fanbases have become. I’ve suspected that some of these devs are even deliberately trying to filter their audience to the most desperate gooners.

Watching new trailers is fun.

People have been calling albums ‘dead’ since radio, since MTV, since iTunes, and yet the vast majority of artists still release albums.

A full hour, wow. I expect we’ll get closer looks at Metroid Prime 4 and Splatoon Raiders, as those are the two biggest upcoming titles. Kirby Air Riders just got a mini Direct, so it probably won’t be a focus.

Scratching my head trying to think of what unannounced IPs to expect. No Mario platformers since we just had Bananza and Wonder, but maybe a sports title or some other spinoff, also maybe Kart DLC. The next Zelda won’t be for a while, maybe they’ll tease it but if so it won’t be more than a tease. Maybe a mainline Kirby, but maybe they’re too focused on Air Riders. Fire Emblem seems likely, we’re right about due. Animal Crossing is certainly possible. Maybe Yoshi?

I want to say Rhythm Heaven as my wildcard pick, but that already did get confirmed so I don’t even know what else I want. F-Zero and Panel de Pon would be my dream games but I know they’re absolutely not happening.

Allow me to remove any and all sarcasm from the script here, because this is better than most NES emulators I found on the internet. By a lot. Yes, this is better than FCEUX. This is better than Nestopia. This is tied with Nintendulator! Of all the NES emulators I found online, including the one I created, only four of them scored better than this.

Chess is already asymmetric since white moves first, so it’s not necessarily a problem for the starting position to also be asymmetric. Though I wonder which would be the best starting position for the empty square, on white’s side or black’s?

I bet someone will have a playable version up within less than 24 hours.

I did finish the original. But I remained annoyed with this mechanic the whole time.

Not having the mechanic to begin with would be better than a thing that merely makes it less bad, because even then there’s still an opportunity cost.

I do not like the idea of a mechanic that punishes me if I do choose to explore somewhere else in a genre that is supposed to be about exploration.
