Indeed, you can likely upload ROMs on the Intellivision Sprint; the UI is identical to those semi-recent C64 plug-and-plays.

Rest in Peace, Tomonobu Itagaki.

You made great games and cemented as one of gaming's legendary creators for Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden 1/Ninja Gaiden Black.

NintenCade @nintencade.bsky.social · 3d

Okay, that's awesome to hear, thanks for the info!

NintenCade @nintencade.bsky.social · 3d

I have no issue as the emulation will be spot-on and Atari got the rights back to Shark! Shark! and Astrosmash. I do have a few issues, though:

No Cloudy Mountain and Minotaur

No cartridge slot to plug in other Intellivision games

No microSD card slot to upload games not on the list

So Atari is releasing the Intellivision Sprint, a plug-and-play, bulit-in Intellivision console, similar to the atGames Intellivision Flashback with "45" games. Interesting

Tbh, as a kid I found Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, and K-Mart to be dull compared to just staying home; you can actually find slight joy in K-Mart as that had an arcade, albeit very small. In 2002, for specialty items (non-food), I preferred shopping online.

That A.I. video that's nostalgic for Walmart of the 00s.

LOL, not even in the 1990s (1986er), there was never lobster, CRTs packed on top another CRT (that'd be dangerous), and food samples at a Wal-Mart; the closest was samples, but that was Sam's Club, which is a members' only version of said store.

..., and a new Fire Emblem game, (looks better than Engage), and a new Super Mario movie; I never seen the first movie.

NintenCade @nintencade.bsky.social · Sep 12

Nice to see Super Mario Galaxy Collection, Mega Man: Star Force Collection, Virtual Boy added to Nintendo Switch Online (shame there's no Bound High as that's complete, it'd be nice to see Dragon Hopper), Mario Tennis Fever (looks better than the Switch 1 game)...

Indeed, as said expect the bare minimum and I was correct; this seemed more like a Switch 1 Direct than Switch 2.

Japanese Direct hame that weren't on the Western Directs:

Rockman Star Force: Perfect Collection

Fitness Boxing 3: Disney Edition

Regarding Nintendo Directs:

Expect the bare minimum.

It goes without saying, Rest in Peace to Malcolm-Jamal Warner and Ozzy Osbourne.

Malcolm and the supporting cast is what made The Cosby Show great; Theo was the MVP of that show.

Ozzy Osbourne, even if he has skeletons in his closet (i.e. animal cruelty), he was a great musician and talent

Rest in Peace, Chuck Mangione.

I best remember him from Mike Judge via King of the Hill; it was a pleasure to see him on the show and had a new generation of viewers to hear his music.

The Welcome Freshmen episode is going to look soooo rough sandwiched between the higher quality footage of Fifteen and Are You You Afraid of the Dark. We got to get this show on streaming at some point.

Addendum to below thread:

If I were reccomend Fifteen, I would just reccomend Season 1, the end of Season 3, and watch bits and pieces of Season 4.

NintenCade @nintencade.bsky.social · May 30

Would've I enjoyed Fifteen as a kid? It didn't even get the same reruns as many live-action shows had on the network, so even if I was born in the 1983 instead of 1986, I still would've likely have skipped this show.
