One time I rented Animal Crossing from Blockbuster, returned the disc, & then just never powered off my Gamecube. It's so small you can play it without the Disc. I kept my system running 24/7 for two months until an electrical storm knocked out my power. Best $7 I ever spent.

In 1992, Australian program A Current Affair reported on Miyamoto's modest compensation despite his central role in Nintendo's success. To illustrate, they filmed him humbly biking to work. After determining where they filmed, I walked The Miyamoto Path myself! ...Has much changed in 33 years?

Currently scanning the never-online-before first chapter of the 1988 Super #Mario Bros 3 Manga by Yukio Sawada. Wanpakku, the publisher, closed after the next issue so this never completed & can't be found anywhere else. #Nintendo

Do you think the Japanese dub of Doug was well received when it aired in Japan? I think about that sometimes.

I've never had to cancel Spotify because I'd never found a reason to subscribe to it. Do people just not buy and rip CDs any more? (Please do not answer this, my back aches enough as it is)

There is a silent battle going on between people who think hoarding lost media so nobody else can see it is really funny, & those that think sharing lost media on the internet for free to piss those people off is even funnier. You will not learn of this in your history books.

The early moblin art for #zelda 1 is really fun. So grumpy! I'm still slowly chipping away at updating all the art in the gallery for the first game from the new 2400dpi scans I made of everything. www.flickr.com/photos/histo...

From 1985-89 Wanpakku Comics was a major producer of #Nintendo manga & game guides. While much of the manga was later released in volumes, they closed & the last issues can only be found in the original monthlies It was requested I scan the #Mario chapters. May 1988: archive.org/details/zine...

You can tell the exact moment we stopped being optimistic about the future.

Love it! This image from the Game & Watch site is what I used as the background texture in my render of the Zelda 1 keshi figures from 1986! archive.org/details/kesh...

i can't stop thinking about this game

I thought this had been scanned but maybe it hasn't? So here it is! It's one of the few #Zelda 1 Japanese guides that actually has maps of all 9 labyrinths in it! It also features #DragonQuest & #FinalFantasy "RPG Classics of Roleplaying Game" by Famitsu/Famicom Tsuushin archive.org/details/guid...

It’s so weird to think of Mitsuru Adachi as overlooked, but he really is when it comes to English-language releases. We’ve only gotten one complete series and a few books of short stories; most of these are out of print. And no anime adaptations released on physical media.

This manga panel shows a manga adaptation of a TV anime adaptation of a live action film adaptation of characters from an animated film. 🤔I will explain.

It was brought to my attention that many one-sided friendships are listed on the official Play Nintendo site. I have analyzed the lists and present some of the most bizarre cases of non-mutual friendships below.

I’m gonna be so annoying when this is out

We've got another one Emio-ians

Fun fact: my site & work was blacklisted from a big part of the mainstream Zelda community for eons bc art & manga wasn't "valid" fandom & archiving was "bad." Still used it though. Being a no one means no big sites think they need to credit you for your money & work: shmuplations.com/miyamoto2000/

"I need a new Nintendo console!" The people say And yet they haven't even bought a Virtual Boy? Interesting...

This is how I did it as a kid. I’m pretty sure I discovered it myself just from running away from him.

The Sears description of The Legend of Zelda from its 1987 debut is "Gather crystals to stop warlords" and that kinda owns

Trails games be like:

okay I’ve made it 30 years without figuring this one out so maybe someone has some helpful advice: how the heck do you get things done when you’re mad?

I was fascinated by the Everybody Votes channel for its entire existence

The moment I became the Joker is when someone in charge of copyright law watched my GDC talk about how it's wrong to associate emulation with piracy and their takeaway was "emulation is associated with piracy."

Who's going to be Emio for Halloween

trying every item in your inventory

I finished Emio - The Smiling Man last night and am still thinking about it. This story is going to stick with me for a while. #emio #famicomdetectiveclub

I have just always been named this since before I was born

With Halloween approaching, its the time of year to share scary stories. The Laughing Target OVA from 1987 is one of the best horror adaptations of Rumiko Takahashi's works. Be sure to check it out if you haven't seen it (and lobby for a Blu-ray release)!
