I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

In 1992, Australian program A Current Affair reported on Miyamoto's modest compensation despite his central role in Nintendo's success. To illustrate, they filmed him humbly biking to work.
After determining where they filmed, I walked The Miyamoto Path myself! ...Has much changed in 33 years?

Skawo made a video doing a deep dive into the #64DD code of Zelda Ocarina of Time and how it could be used by the original devs.
Been helping Skawo a slight bit about that but he's still way way more knowledgeable about OoT's code than I do.

Y'all, I know two hours is a big time commitment, but this panel I arranged and hosted last month is one of the most important things I've ever done for video game history. The launch of the NES is a crazier story than most people realize, and my guests were extremely generous with their memories.
Hear about the NES US launch 40 years ago from the people that made it happen: Gail Tilden, Bruce Lowry and Lance Barr with @frankcifaldi.bsky.social from the @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social moderating! Panel recording at youtu.be/f2WDfsiLiRA

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...
