If I hear one more person say that this year is Mario’s 40th birthday or 40th anniversary, I’m throwing someone into a Piranha Plant.

I’m at the dentist and they started playing the soundtrack to Howl’s Moving Castle so best dentist visit ever I guess?

Reject Fascism. Embrace Capybara. #art #capybara #antifascist

Oh! Banana!

Cool to see they got Alucard for the new Fire Emblem!

Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this insanity

I believe today is the actual 20th anniversary of when I started at Nintendo Power! My first assignment was writing/editing the 2005 holiday buyer’s guide. It was supposed to contain a big section on Game Boy Micro’s custom faceplates but that got cut when that feature was essentially abandoned.

Ring Fit Adventure finally delivering the important truths.

Calling Billy and Jimmy Lee

I almost forgot Haggar’s birthday today! He is 82!!

Oh no, not again

How it started/ How it’s going

Fatality.

This makes me feel super old, but… 20 years ago on Labor Day weekend, I drove up to Redmond, WA to start my job at Nintendo Power! Now I’m back here, but only for a visit.

How come whenever I hear the word “beautiful” these days it’s in context like this?

Did you know that on top of a long career covering video games, I also write comic books? It’s true! I’ve even been published by Image Comics! Editors, I’m currently looking to do a lot more, and would love to connect.

The world seems especially unpleasant today, but I’ve really been enjoying Donkey Kong Bananza.

Friends in Germany for Gamescom… If you get a chance, go to Cinnamood. It is a kick-ass cinnamon roll chain. The white chocolate macadamia nut flavor was especially delicious. I don’t know how far it is from Gamescom, but there is one in Cologne, I believe.

It took a while to finally show up but @wayforward.bsky.social's Shantae Advance: Risky's Revolution has finally made the jump from abandoned GBA prototype to GBA release to modern console/PC availability as of today. hardcoregamer.com/better-late-...

Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution is now available on consoles and PC! Experience this once-missing chapter of the Shantae saga, featuring a modern mode, classic mode, and multiplayer Battle Mode! Deluxe Edition also available! bit.ly/ShantaeAdvan...

Blacker than a moonless night, hotter and more bitter than Hell itself… That is coffee.

Sometimes I forget this was real

Happy 30th anniversary to the North American launch of Virtual Boy! There’s a chance that Virtual Boy had more exclusives at 2 months into its lifecycle than Switch 2 does…

Glad to see Chibi-Robo on NSO has a release date! That game has special significance to me, as it's one of the first cover stories I ever wrote. (Not a big fan of this cover design though...)

Avengers Assemble

There’s a very specific brand of misinformation that spreads on Bluesky because it reinforces the preexisting perceptions of users, and then you’ll find out on post four that it’s the poster’s interpretation, and shaped by a crappy source. And then you’ll see the first post 10 more times that day.

Shadow of the Colossus (2005)

I’m ready. Time to finally beat this game!

Oh, banana!

PSA

Oh, banana!

Dammit, @jpop.bsky.social

Oh god it’s only Wednesday

Happy Capybara Appreciation Day, everyone!

They are totally holding hands

Has the group DM function on Twitter ever been used for anything aside from spam & scams? That’s rhetorical, of course it hasn’t.

Can you still get StreetPasses at Anime Expo? Yes, yes you can.

Uhhh… is he managing a McDonald’s?

Happy 25th anniversary to a true WayForward classic: Xtreme Sports for Game Boy Color! We're celebrating with this anniversary sketch from @mrbozon.bsky.social, plus you can get the Switch version for an XTREME discount - only $2.50! https://bit.ly/XtremeSports_NS

You better believe I preordered it. Take heed!

This was the only thing I bought at Nintendo SF, holds a hefty 20 oz! There were other things I wanted like shirts but they were all out of my size.

Even got streetpassed! One, anyway.
