This quote nails it for me. Personally, even if I wasn't a big fan of all parts of the game, it also felt like a game that I had to respect just how much it tried to do in a single game, and it does feel impressively coherent.

Super excited for the start of season 3 of The Old SwitchAroo, our journey through the retro video game catalog available on Nintendo Switch Online. Our first episode of Season 3 is out Wednesday, with Derick of @underratedmoviepod.bsky.social and RiRiYells joining us for Link's Awakening! 🎮

It's not that there's not already a lot of Muppet movies, it's just that I am always up for more of them being made. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.

Given that the Nintendo Music app knows which retro games 🎮 I've been playing, I'm a bit disappointed that the Nintendo year in review doesn't also break down what I've been playing on Nintendo Switch Online by which game rather than by which of their emulators it is.

Our most recent episode was talking about Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis, and the AI seemed to struggle with what Sonic the Hedgehog looks like. Weirdly though, the text description it generated had a line about chili dogs. So the AI wasn't entirely clueless. theoldswitcharoo.com/s2e01
