I always assumed Quickjoy was short for "Quick, enjoy them before they break"

Huge congratulations to the both of you, mate.

Fair play to the guy. Hope this starts a trend - there are a lot of streamers with huge, impressionable audiences and using that clout to encourage them to save or spend their money (assuming the streamer has enough already) is a great thing.

For me the issue here isn't that someone's tried to rip off Animal Crossing yet again, it's that these games keep happily wandering onto console digital stores when any content moderator with the slightest shred of gaming knowledge should be able to say "wait a minute"

VGC @videogameschronicle.com · 2d

Another apparent Animal Crossing clone has appeared on the PlayStation Store, following the removal of a similar game earlier this year.

I don't know if the mouse necessarily sold badly, I'm just assuming that Mario & Wario sold badly because the potential customer base was only players who had the mouse, and obviously not all of them will have bought it. So it would have been a fraction of a fraction

Chris Scullion @scully1888.bsky.social · 2d

At the time most Nintendo games were released in Japan first, so my guess is that it sold badly there (because it required the mouse, which hardly anyone had) so they just decided it wasn't worth the effort

When Switch 2's mouse controls were confirmed and people started thinking Mario Paint, I started thinking Mario & Wario instead.

Delighted to see another Mario game being removed from the Japan-only list ❤️

Also, not that it means anything but one of the shots in that Maybe Pikmin Movie video still has the filename in the corner, doesn't give anything away, just a funny error

Pikmin in the background (half speed then normal speed)

There's a hidden Pikmin that runs under the bed too, so now I'm leaning that way

You also ask why I didn't call him a "neo-Nazi" in the story. You can call him that all you like on here when it's not your job but when our site deals wholly facts, that's legally actionable if we call him that in our story. And I'm pretty sure he can afford the legal fees.
