Spongebob meme of fish looking in the toilet that says “Oh. That’s spoilers for Pokémon Legends Z-A. That’s spoilers for Pokémon Legends Z-A in my timeline the day before it comes out.”

Happy #PacManWorld2RePac day to all who celebrate! (ME!!) One of the first games I ever played with my dad and one of my favs to this day. Couldn’t be more excited to play the remake now. Finished this Blade Mountain print just in time! Will be available on Etsy in 11x17 and smaller sizes soon!

Popped in the Paper Mario 2 demo briefly. Obv I’ve seen vids of this demo before but it is bizarre to own the actual disc of an early version of TTYD. Happy 25th anniversary (today!) to the original Paper Mario, and the series that has my fav game of all time ❤️ #GameCube #PaperMario #PaperMarioTTYD
Paper Mario 2 demo title screen Paper Mario 2 demo level select, including “Star Crystal Field” instead of Petal Meadows Goombella’s tattle text for the demo: “Normally, I’d have some witty and insightful tip to share with you here,” “but I’m saving it for the final version!”

The demo disc was actually sealed, but I chose to open it. I’ve wanted it for years and wanted to play it as if I were at a store in the 2000s. Plus, it’s surreal to open a sealed GameCube game in the big 2025. Look at that pristine disc!!! I haven’t seen a GameCube disc so unscratched in years!!!

Finally got one of my collection holy grails that I’ve had eBay alerts for literal years and years. Now with the demo disc with the Paper Mario 2 demo, these are probably the three current coolest things I have in my Nintendo collection. Really happy to finally have this disc!
Three of the coolest things in my Nintendo collection: my childhood copy of Super Mario Sunshine signed by Charles Martinet, CIV Mario Party e, and the GameCube Interactive Multi-Game Demo Disc Version 18, which was given to stores for people to play demos. This disc specifically includes an early demo of my favorite game of all time, Paper Mario TTYD, so early that it was still called Paper Mario 2.

Doing my system transfer now! Early impressions before even playing a game are that I LOVE the matte finish on everything, the screen is gorgeous even though not OLED, the magnet joycons are sick and the Pro Controller control sticks feel incredible, i cant even describe it but it’s like, soft lol
