This is what gaming is all about

every time someone posted that picture of link on the cliff from zelda 1's manual as a symbol of unguided exploration, all I could think of was how at the end of said manual there was a little walkthrough and map telling you exactly where the first two dungeons are

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

we live in the ruins of a greater civilization

konami japan has gone back and forth on whether to just call the series "castlevania" or to keep "demon castle" and/or "dracula" as the title, whatever but this trailer has them call trevor "Trevor Belmondo" instead of "Ralph C. Belmondo." absolutely unacceptable www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vOw...

some day I'm going to have to lay out in detail how Ghost Babel's plot (which was not written by Kojima) is like a rough sketch of what MGSV did, down to certain very specific themes and plot elements

there was more joy and charm from this man talking for a minute than the last two GoW games combined

good news for sonia belmont fans: you may no longer have to pretend that castlevania legends was a good game!

i heard you were looking for an illustration of Olive Oyl using her nintendo famicom, with the tv-net modem peripheral plugged into it, so she can use "daiwa my trade", and make trades on the japanese stock market, with the help of popeye. well here you go

yoshitaka amano now has a thing on his website where you can see some of his works converted into 3d and you need to see this shit yoshitaka-amano.com/arcane-canva...

In 2023, I posted about a bizarre Dolce & Gabbana shirt featuring Mario standing in a beam of light alongside text praising him. I have tracked down the source of the image, which was a splash page in the E3 2000 brochure. Now the venerated Mario can be seen in high quality.

they fucking torment nexus'd me

this is not in fact creatio ex nihilo as mario is using dead matter, such as how El formed the preexistent chaotic matter into the heavens, earth, and water

Toonami getting ready to show the first six episodes of Cyborg 009 again:

I have had "a giant MALE mystical sea creature" stuck in my dome all day like I can't stop thinking it

this looks like one of those games where it ends with a doe-eyed cartoon saying "kindness is our only aegis against the endless night," and then every time you see that character again it's the avatar of someone shouting a slur at you

In the Nintendo Switch version of Super Mario Galaxy, the ending can now be seen in a higher resolution. This reveals that two Toads that appeared to be running joyfully around a statue before are actually gliding around the statue in T-poses.

remember when the marketing for the rise of skywalker kept talking about how it was the end of "the skywalker saga" like that was a preexisting phrase that real human beings used to refer to the star wars movies

The kiosk demo of Mario Kart DS contained "Flesh Trucks" due to a spelling error. While the error was fixed in the final version, looking at the preview image for GCN Mushroom Bridge very closely shows that the truck still has an L. As such, the memory of the Flesh Truck remains.

pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things

Following his remarks, the former mayor Adams told the assemblage that, "The designs of the lion are draughted in an ink subtler than any eye." He then held aloft two aquamarine crystals, transfigured into a spiritual form, and went up to the Great House of Lemuria, beyond the dance of the stars.

In the beginning was the Missile, and the Missile was with God. And the Missile knows where it is, and the Missile knows where it isn't. And through subtraction all positions were known, and all of where it was it now isn't.

In Mario Party Superstars, the "endless mode" of Hot Rope Jump is not actually endless, and will play an ending scene after reaching 9999 jumps. This takes 3 hours of continuous flawless play, making this the longest Mario Party series minigame with a definite ending.

The Nintendo Switch version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker contains a model of a realistic man, called "Male". Despite Male being from a Nintendo 3DS development kit, the Switch version is the only one he appears in.
