I’m really happy every single time a Rare game makes it onto Nintendo Classics because it just feels right to see them acknowledged as part of the back catalogue. Battletoads in its all its infamy is still an important NES game that is worth having alongside your Mario’s and Zelda’s

Nintendo Switch 2 “Oh Banana!” Edition
Today is the 20th anniversary of the Xbox 360 launch and with it the release of Kameo: Elements of Power! This is one of the best single player games Rare put out in that era with a short but decently replayable campaign, 10 playable monsters and plenty of cheats/ extras/ cosmetic skins to enjoy.

25 years since we released Banjo-Tooie! Have a boss-montage. Bosses are always the most fun to make. See how big and strong Mr Patch is!

Happy 25th birthday to one of my favorite games, Banjo-Tooie!
I’m always happy to see people discussing and appreciating it because it tends to get lost in the Banjo/ Rare platformer discourse.

Having a real angel and devil on my shoulder moment today, I saw a listing for the Virtual Boy that seemed extremely reasonable for the price.
One on hand, I can probably get a lot more out of it than most folks because I like R&D1 games. On the other hand.. it’s pretty expensive for so few games.

I feel like people should become a bit more comfortable acknowledging that their favorite franchises/ IPs are Ships of Theseus with people coming and going constantly. That’s just inherent to these long running franchises and shouldn’t automatically invalidate new entries compared to old ones.

It’s a weird fandom behavior to hold up a piece of art as like this perfect thing that means everything to you yet you hold the creator(s) of that art in contempt and feel like you “get it” more than them. It’s like.. being parasocially possesive

The comparison between Dread and Prime 4 is inevitable but also unfair in a way.
There was a concept for what to do with Metroid 5 back in 2005, Sakamoto and company had an idea for what to do next.
The execution on Switch was different than it would’ve been on DS but the ideas were there

The new tougher difficulty mode in Pikmin 4 is pretty cool. It forces you to engage with some mechanics/ level design bits that are otherwise irrelevant given how busted Oatchi’s charge and Ice Pikmin are. Items also have a much greater utility, especially Ice Blasts. #Pikmin4

Kirby Air Riders online experience:
Kirby Air Riders is really fun. I appreciate that there’s basically no down time when racing and getting hit only slows you down a little bit. The character/ vehicle roster is also great even in this limited demo. I am so ready to play as Gooey riding a mech for 500 hours.

If you want to trace back the origins of the modern open world Nintendo game, look no further than Donkey Kong 64:
- A billion collectibles with a generous bare minimum requirement
- Huge open levels meant to continually revisited
- Charming characters
- Immersive environments
- Lanky Kong

It feels like Sony and Microsoft are in a strange transitional stage where they are nominally still first party game devs but they act more like third party devs publishing multi platform. Structurally however, a lot of the barriers put up for exclusivity on games/ IP still exist in these companies

Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night horrified to remember that Sony owns Lemmings.
That’s such an important historical game that it feels wrong that it’s stuck in a console maker’s Disney vault. Especially when Sony has given up on trying to push any smaller/ legacy IPs.

Something I’ve been thinking about lately is the phenomena where people dislike a thing because it is primarily enjoyed by a demographic they want to demean for whatever reason, usually women or LGBT people. It’s a weirdly spiteful way to engage with art

Legends Z-A has really been surprising me with just how well considered the Pokemon placement is. Every wild zone has a nicely curated set of Pokemon and there’s never a lack of good new options to add to your team.
