Has Nintendo done anything on Gamecube Classics Luigi’s Mansion to accommodate the lack of analog triggers on Switch 2, or do I need to get a Gamecube controller to do a powerful blast versus a drizzle of water/ice/fire?

it's weird to me that Archie Comics apparently still has a regular comic book sized monthly issues business going on behind their booming "digests sold by the checkout business" has anybody ever met anyone who has read a regular sized Archie?

If the hard mode repopulates defeated monsters after a few days like the older games, then it might be worth replaying for me. Really though what I need is for Bingo Battle to return since Dandori multiplayer is too focused on out-optimizing than out-witting your opponent.

You kids like Sabrina Carpenter? well I know about another carpenter who had some strange things to say, and did some miraculous works, and had a black cat named Salem Saberhagen, and she- ah sorry, not Carpenter, let me start over.

To whomever is designing modern phone cameras to automatically AI-upscale photos to make their customers feel like they’re taking better photos than they actually are: I’d prefer a blurry or pixelated image to whatever this is. (Left: Close-up photo of sign, Right: AI-upscale of distant photo)

Nintendo’s approach to voice acting recently has been very focused on prioritizing keeping costs down for localization. Mario Wonder and Donkey Kong Bananza both confine their voice acting to a single character which makes the prospect of localizing to many languages a lot lore manageable.

My job in a nutshell.

The lore for Gooigi in Luigi's Mansion 3 is different depending on whether you're playing in single-player or co-op. In 1P it's merely an empty vessel for Luigi's spirit, but in 2P he has his own sentience. This isn't only a gameplay mechanic; it also changes how certain cutscenes play out:

Seems like Nintendo wants to push the idea that Pikmin are all around us and we just can't see them, but here's an idea, maybe humans are all around Captain Olimar and he just can't see us.

Everyone’s talking Mario Movie or Pikmin, but also the character design reminds me of Switch Sports. Maybe it’s the same character designer?

Well, that’s twice now that I’ve accidentally sent my Gamer Card through the wash. I think it only gets more official each time, and I will tag @thedragonfeeney.bsky.social whenever it happens.

Facebook is weird because in addition to being filled with false information, it’s also filled with true information that is nevertheless accompanied by extremely misleading AI depictions of this true information, even when accurate photos are readily available.

In memoriam...

The J stands for "Jimmy Brown"

I love blocking people based on vague bad vibes. If you look and talk like a commercial, I don’t need you watching me.

In the original Animal Crossing on GameCube you could write journal entries and leave them in your home for other players to read. I was revisiting my family’s AC village from 2003/2006 and my brother @andrewjplant.bsky.social‘s journal was a spookily accurate prediction of the plot of Gravity Falls

Actually in the later Animal Crossing games he even named his character “Stanley” coincidentally, though in this first game his character was named “Sam”.

The Super Mario RPG (Switch) soundtrack is the best remake soundtrack.

Finally managed to get a Micro SD Express card for my Switch 2. Now I can finally download all my Switch 1 games.

That’s why when Rainman came out thirty seven years ago it won a Hugo award for “outstanding made-up science fiction disease that nobody has ever had or heard of before”

Trying to hook up some old game systems to a CRT but I don’t have a remote to access the AV inputs. Suddenly the Wii U appears with its universal remote functionality to save the day! Why can’t the Switch 2 do this?

I long for Pokémon to have a Youtube channel that doesn’t flood my subscriptions with event coverage.

I don’t support beauty pageants, but if they were really serious about it they should include events that are really challenging to look attractive while doing, like flossing your teeth or eating fried chicken with your hands.

More like Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weeb, am i right?

Anyone know how to consistently move an app into a folder on iPhone? I can do it sometimes, but I always spend at least 30 seconds trying to corner it while it runs away from me like a scene from Scooby Doo.

My SSD motherboard and C Drive fried to a crisp. Now to figure out exactly how many years it's been since I backed up my files...

I want them to update the Switch 2 Mii Maker to include all the parts from this Tomadachi Life game.

What the heck is “EMRGY”?

it's probably Patrick Seitz, who voiced it in Super Mario Party Jamboree - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV, and not the original actor

Has the Mario Wonder Talking Flower been recast?

The real stars of the day:

I could watch the Nintendo Direct live tomorrow, but then I'll miss the last 10 minutes during my drive to work, which seems like the worst 10 minutes to miss. Guess I'll just have to stay offline until I get off.

Is this 🫴🦋 recording studio sound deadening?

I guess with Lego announcing a Star Trek collab and teasing it withg minifigure Picard I should post the digital lego project I've been poking away at in case they completely scoop me with an official set.

1. I press “home” on Switch 2. Switch wakes up 3. TV detects Switch signal and turns itself on 4. TV is on PS5’s channel, but is smart enough to change to the Switch’s channel 5. PS5 detects that ITS HDMI channel has just triggered and wakes up 6. TV detects PS5 is on, changes to PS5 channel

I think more people would get the flu shot if we had never decided to call gastroenteritis the “stomach flu”, which has nothing to do with the influenza virus. “I got the flu shot once and it didn’t protect me from the stomach flu at all.” Yeah cause it’s not supposed to.

Here’s all the money Nintendo owes me. I had two pair of functioning Switch 1 joycons but I gave one pair to my sister when she moved out. (Yes I have taken them apart to clean them. That only helped for a little bit and only for like a week before degrading again)

Everybody Poops, but not everybody builds their whole personality around it.

Now here's a weird one... The pale oak doors are based on the common doors from Luigi's Mansion except... they're depicted upside-down from how they appear in that game! Seems like an odd mistake to make...

They fell behind for a few updates, but the Mario Mash-Up Pack has recently been updated to encompass the Pale Garden, Spring to Life, and Chase the Skies updates. Review time! For me the big question was how they would tackled the new "Pale Garden" and "Creaking" mob, so let's start with those.

The J stands for "Jem and The Holograms"

Join Party Mario on an all-new adventure through a strange fantasy world inspired by classic tabletop roleplaying games. "Pen & Paper Mario" introduces a strategic "position-based" combat system that takes place seamlessly in the overworld. #PaperMario *NOT A REAL GAME.

I may be an aging millennial gradually losing touch with contemporary technology and culture, but I remember what a McDonald’s pizza tastes like and you can never take that from me.

I’m glad it’s performing well for what it hopefully represents, but I thought K Pop Demon Hunters was just okay.

In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.

Doubutsu No Memento Mori. Remember to play Animal Crossing.

I’ve now seen the bespoke animation for each day of the month on each of the calendar themes in the Nintendo Today app. There’s really not much left to the app after that. I don’t understand why they don’t use it to share the same social media posts they share elsewhere.

I owe it to my YouTube algorithm NOT to watch this. I already watched a vide about this guy last night, so watching a second one would seal my fate permanently. Please pray for strength.
