I've been playing one of the most intriguing and simultaneously infuriating games of this year right now. I hope it all comes together for my current mental state.

Why did they give the Bob-omb Buddies shoes in Super Mario 64 DS?

Bob-omb Buddies with their feet encased in fabric, showing a sense of civility that the default Bob-ombs lack.

I think I have COVID, or a really bad flu. This sucks 😷🤧

I'm sure all the weird looks from the other passengers should've answered that question.

In Super Smash Bros., the skeletons visible when characters are hurt by electric attacks are not tied to specific animations, and instead are a form that can be toggled on and off at any time, including in cutscenes. Below are excerpts of the game's intro, with skeletons.

Turns out the Pikmin video from the other day is just intended to be a Nintendo Pictures animation. A short film they created and an example of the kind of content they will continue to make.

Hopefully we get to see more of this with other IP.

We hope you enjoyed the two “Close to You” videos released on October 7 and 8.
The second video is available on Nintendo Today!, a free app available on your smart device.
These are the first short films created by Nintendo Pictures Co., Ltd.
Nintendo Pictures will continue to explore new creative possibilities through video content.

But what if...

Sound Fantasy, the unreleased Nintendo Mouse game.

Joshua 'NantenJex' Goldie @nantenjex.bsky.social · 2d

So what Mouse games does Nintendo have left to release?

I can't see them releasing the Mario Early Years games, but they did use the mouse.

Tin Star had mouse controls as an option, but Super Scope was the main input so maybe they'll wait for that?

Can they release Vegas Stakes w/o an 18+ app?

Joshua 'NantenJex' Goldie @nantenjex.bsky.social · 2d

I was the same. I even thought that they might launch Nintendo Switch 2 with it. I'm glad to see we weren't left waiting for years to see it release.

Yay, Mario & Wario finally. Should I stream this tomorrow?

It was a genuinely lovely big surprise receiving this. I was a bit jealous of everyone got the chance to play the game back when it launched, so I'm glad I can finally give it a go.

Meow meow! 🐈

What a lovely surprise package from the great folks over at @littlekittybigcity.bsky.social.

I know one little kitty that might stare daggers into me if I try to put the Frog hat on her though, haha 😅

If you ever lose your socks, find comfort knowing its being used to pay off space debt.

Nice. I'm looking forward to revisiting this on Nintendo Switch 2 when I can.

Daniel Vuckovic @vook64.bsky.social · 3d

I'm behind on my Yooka-Replaylee review, but I've been playing it on Switch 2 - and it's really changed in so many ways for the better (not just how it looks).

Review soon as possible.

That's right. Pikmin are kind of like fairies in myth. They exist all around us but humans don't acknowledge them. You have to be their size, or use a device like a smartphone, to make them visible.

Wait, Nintendo just uploaded the same Baby trailer today but now you can see the Pikmin? What a bizarre marketing choice.
