Shafox / Ninfox Team (@ninfoxteam.bsky.social)'s unofficial SNES demake of Super Mario Bros. Wonder - playable on itch now - is a proper achievement. Several levels of a proper World / Wonder hybrid. #SuperMarioWonder #MarioWonder #SuperMarioWorld #SNES #Itchio

Whoah, @kurkogames.bsky.social 's The Legend of Banjo-Kazooie - The Jiggies of Time (an unofficial ROM hack) is unbelievable. A whole Banjo-Kazooie game set in Ocarina of Time's Hyrule. Crazy talent. #banjokazooie #Zelda #ocarinaoftime #n64 #nintendo64

Mari0 (by stabyourself . net) is Super Mario Bros. x Portal and is awesome. I keep running out of time on levels because it's more fun setting up daft tricks... #Portal #portal2 #SuperMarioBros #SuperMario #Mario

Revisiting Bioshock. Appreciate some of the shine's been lost for some after Infinite, but this is still a hell of a way to start a game. Also, the zapping still rules too. #Bioshock #bioshockinfinite #fpsgames #Xbox360 #PS3

Mario 2Dyssey by SimpleTeam is a very cool, free, unofficial demake of Super Mario Odyssey in a 16-bit style. Some clever stuff and well-worth its short playtime. #SuperMarioOdyssey #MarioOdyssey #itchio #indiegame #SuperMario

phoenix wright: ace attorney - justice for all, official website, excerpt, nintendo ds (2007) web.archive.org/web/20070119...
you can yell "objection!"
utilizing the ds's internal microphone, you can become pheonix wright and yell "hold it!" and "objection!" to rattle witnesses and present evidence.
(to the right is a picture of a nintendo ds with the word "objection!" in styled red on the top screen and pheonix wright on the bottom screen, suit, looking determined, slicked back black hair).

Not feeling HYPERDROP at all :-/ Hopefully it'll change my mind but it's a rare case of a massive disparity between how much I expected to like a game vs how it feels hands-on

🧠 Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training 🧠 sold 19 MILLION copies (and presumably millions of Nintendo DS consoles). The big floaty head did 'dailies' (like Wordle etc) way before the contemporary ones did too. It was good fun for a little while, there. #NintendoDS #3DS #Switch #Handheldgaming #retrogaming
