I've been curious, how was a Vocaloid able to make an appearance on DS hardware considering its limitations? I'll piece things together in today's special!

Hatune Miku in front of the numbers 3 and 9. To the left there's a blue DS with a sound wave on the touch screen. KK Slider and a piano appear on the bottom right.

My next few videos have become a bit longer in duration... Usually I keep things short, so I hope that they're still enjoyable.

I still feel confident in the flow of information. A few videos will be organized with chapters (they won't be TOO long). I'm excited to share them!

The Nintendo Switch features a multi-touch display, but only select games make use of it. Is there any rhyme or reasoning as to why not? And what’s with the inconsistency of support within the same series?

Retro Dot Cards awakens a new appreciation for the Nintendo e-Reader

This is honestly so cool. It reminds me of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 DVD.

Hm? Looks like this fell off the back of a delivery truck.

Something familiar has been appearing in Nintendo's factory software, and I'm curious about it's significance in testing! I'll do an inspection and see what can be found.

What's this? A second Nintendo Switch- with a new eShop?

Given that the original struggled with performance, what affect does a new system have? I'll pick apart the design and see what's new in my latest video!

Nintendo Switch Online icon, eShop icon, and the number 2.

3, 2, 1, GO! 🏁

To promote the launch of Mario Kart 8, a campaign was held offering a free game. In Japan, things were handled quite differently. What changed? And what's with the special application?

I'll dig deep to find out exactly how it works in my latest video.

Sometimes video game music is made to last a specific length, for cutscenes or set events…except when it isn’t. Some tracks go beyond the allotted screen time and have unheard portions!

I explore the quirks of unintended extended music tracks in my latest video.
