Today we have something special: a newly translated interview from July 1996 between Shigeru Miyamoto and Kenji Eno! Conducted just weeks after the launch of Mario 64, Eno takes Miyamoto to task (in a friendly way) with several fascinating critiques of its design. shmuplations.com/miyamotoxeno/

Thanks to some GB Studio wizards at the discord, I was able to get SEAMLESS SPRITE SHEET SWAPS working as a workaround to that 1 frame graphical hiccup that you can hopefully see here (may be tricky with bsky video compression). Sharing the tech for bsky folks here in this 🧵: #gbstudio #gameboy

Gotcha

Eventually, Nintendo decided Mario and Luigi were different heights. There's subtle shade about this in SMBDX. Not only must Peach kneel to thank Mario, but the "camera" is tilted down, showing more foreground like you would photographing shorter subjects. thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/mario101

no more mass appeal

I dunno why but I get the feeling they drew the Tyris frames first and then traced them for the remaining characters when doing the back turning poses in the endings for the PC-Engine version of Golden Axe

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

"IT'S TRUE, COOP. THE BOYS DOWN AT THE BUREAU ARE CALLING HIM 'MOON CHILD'. THEY EVEN SAY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO BE HIS FRIEND. IT'S THE BEGINNING OF A NEW AND EXCITINGLY DIFFERENT KIND OF STORY."

An excerpt of an interview with art historian and critic David Sylvester which i think feels relevant to the environment artists find themselves in the digital/social media/algorithmic content age

It's Mar10 Day, and that seems as good a reason as any to post a thread of the notable Super Mariology studies I've been doing on Thrilling Tales of Old Video Games. First up: SMB2 was made *after SMB3. That's why it looks better. www.thrillingtalesofoldvideogames.com/blog/super-m...

Happy Mario Day

Did the Super Mario anime misread the pixels in Toad's original sprite and think he was wearing a bikini top?

Tech leaps between retro consoles are neat but like. Devs learning to work within the limitations of the console within a generation though. Extra economical color palette choices and all that

a thing i did to learn how to edit the engine. i'd love to do something like digimon world one day #gameboy #gbstudio

Sometimes it's nice to revisit something and realize that I made a thing that does not suck. What's more, it's 90 minutes of peace in a noisy, bothersome world. singingmountainpod.com/episodes/pea...

they're 4k AI upscaling you in the qrts bro. yeah you're really smooth and HD now and all your intricate details are kind of blurred. You're at 60fps and have interpolated in-between frames dude.
