I like how all we have are theropod tracks roughly the size of a sparrow’s, so artists are like “yeah, I’m just gonna draw a sparrow with tiny clawed arms”
I mean, that’s probably a reasonable assumption as any about how they might have looked, but still, it’s funny.
SmileBASIC (cool programming language thing that has had versions on DS, 3DS, Wii U and Switch) supports usb keyboard and mouse on Switch.
Switch software can support USB mice, I hope that’s what they will be going for (even if they release an old-school SNES-like mouse to go with it).
I’m more intrigued by the terrible music and abandoned plot points and glitches and whatever.
Good games are obviously great, but sometimes, you experience something so utterly broken it becomes entertaining, almost endearing. In a “congratulations for going all the way to release that, but what the hell happened” kind of way.
Looks like something like that is happening here, according to the translator.
I… kinda want to play this now to be honest.
Both screens were also just awful about blurring during fast movement. Nintendo wisely avoided it altogether,
While mostly true, they should have told Rare too. Between blurring and bad contrast, Donkey Kong Land was almost unplayable.
(By the way, screens with bad blurring from fast moving stuff were still a thing for a long time after that. Dracula X Chronicles for PSP had the original PC-Engine Rondo of Blood in it. Small, fast black bats on a bright background were almost perfectly invisible)
I’m pretty sure the gamegear lost that war because it couldn’t really be used as a handheld. Not with that battery life.
The game boy may have been a very limited system, but you could bring it with you and play Tetris for hours and hours… or for its second wind, show your pokémon to everyone at school.
I like Minish Cap but my one problem with it is WHY THE FUCK CAN’T I MAKE A HOUSE FOR THE THIRD ORACLE???
I mean, there are clearly a building site for it and dialogue hints for a third house. They obviously shipped the game with an unfinished side quest, I spent hours trying to get it.
A good score can definitely change a game to me, but yeah if you’re going to claim “staff” from legendary games I’d assume more than one guy, and people who had a hand in design.
I know and like lots of games scored by Sakuraba, and not that I don’t like his music but… I don’t know, it tends to sound very same-y and almost random at times. Especially in that 00’s era. There was a corny melody pattern he put in all of his big themes at the time, Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Golden Sun all had it somewhere, and I couldn’t hear anything else when it happened.
That said, when it works, it works and it’s pretty unique. True Mirror and Valedictory Elegy from Baten Kaitos are very good, and a perfect fit for their games.
Yeah, if they’re the only people from these games involved, that’s more than a bit ridiculous.
This game involves staff from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Namco’s Tales, Shining Force, Mario Golf and Star Ocean!
Also, that’s just one person and he makes music.
Take the newer ones with hall effect sticks though, it’ll last longer.
Too bad they don’t make it in EU SNES / Super Famicom colour schemes anymore though. I’m sure they do this to avoid problems with Nintendo, but I am not a fan of the new dark gray shell.
My 80’s computer was a big bulky keyboard with a big monitor, lacking the big separate box (not an Amiga though). Is that what you meant with this?
To be fair, Nintendo 3DS shells aren’t exactly very high quality either.
I have an original Majora n3DS XL. After a few months, the golden paint started disappearing around the borders, where my palm/fingers would rest.
To their credit, I could get a free replacement shell (with the right colour and pattern) from customer service when I asked about it. But after this I just resorted to using a clear rubber outer case to keep the paint from rubbing off again.
Can’t watch right now, but I know Metroid’s music sounds a lot better on the Famicom Disk System version.
The famous item fanfare used in all the series is barely recognizable on a NES because it’s lacking a key sound channel.
Terrible article, shit site. Reeks of AI rewriting (tenses are all over the place and extra useless sentences everywhere), no source link (instead clicking on “NASA” leads to more stuff they scraped).
For the first time in 80 years, the phenomenon of the sky will adorn our night sky.
Seriously, no human has ever read this sentence before publishing it. Don’t give these your clicks.
Here is the NASA article :
If only closing it would protect the screen of an OG 3DS…
Without screen protection you’d end up with scratches of two vertical lines and a perfect circle on the upper screen, the imprint of the lower screen border and stick.
Oh shit, Talarico and friends are still pretending Amico will be a thing, but now they won’t even own the brand they were supposed to resurrect anymore.
Amazing they can keep that show going on. I guess they can still pretend people who left a decade ago are still working for them.
Link’s Awakening (especially the first GB version) is an amazing feat.
They could have made it simple, but they didn’t, they extracted the essence of a Link to the Past (which was really the game that, if not invented, really codified the whole series) and they reproduced the experience as faithfully as they could on an incredibly limited device, just two years after it.
Also, it’s fun, creative as fuck, and has great dungeon design.

The most vivid memory I have of this is the crazy title screen music (CPC version, not sure if every versions had it).
