Secret that Nintendo Museum staff only tells you after you visit 23 times (sounds like an RPG secret side quest; URL in alt text)

X post by user R_GameTV (machine translation followed by original text):
Yesterday, when I went to the Nintendo Museum for the 23rd time, a staff member told me this little tidbit I'd never heard before despite having been there 23 times: "There's a Mew hidden somewhere inside the museum," and I couldn't believe my ears...
Then, with the hint they gave me, I went looking for it, and it was hidden in such a shocking spot that I was like, "No way anyone would figure this out." If they hadn't told me, I'd never have noticed it in my lifetime. Nintendo is insane...
昨日23回目のニンテンドーミュージアムに行ったら、スタッフさんが「館内にミュウが隠れてますよ」という23回行ってるのに初めて聞く小ネタを教えてくれて耳を疑った……
で、ヒント貰って探したら「こんなんわかるか」って衝撃の場所に隠れてた。聞かなかったら一生気付かなかった。任天堂ヤバい……

If Sony is so confident, why do they have to censor media reporting on their anti-consumer plans? Spoke to the author of this piece and he confirmed that his & at least 2 outlets were blacklisted: highchaosrun.com/202... One of them also spoke out on X: x.com/rishsabarwal/s...

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

The #PSBlackout starts tomorrow! We want physical games to stay! A digital-only future without ownership & customer protection law is unacceptable! Log off, don't play, don't purchase, cancel subscriptions, become a ghost, until Sony realize their mistake! #PhysicalGamesMatter

Seeing this yesterday, it's genuinely staggering how many man hours and how much money has been squandered chasing live-service. They effectively limited the output of some of their best studios in pursuit of something that ultimately failed. It's really bad all around.

Retail isn't even how people are buying discs any more either. It's not 2002 where you have to go to a retail store to see what's coming out. In the UK, online purchases make up 86% of disc sales for example.

Finally my summer vacations started. For two weeks aside from enjoying the beautiful sea in the strait of Messina (where Scilla and Cariddi reside😬) I hope to tackle my books and videogames backlog. Almost done with FF7 Remake, Demon Slayer The Hinokami Chronicles 2 and Dragon Quest 1 HD 2D Remake

Everybody losing their mind over Sony putting their tweet on consoles as a sticker? Nothing has changed for us! This notice is likely just to cover their behinds from a legal perspective and/or as assurance for shareholders. The backlash needs to continue. Stronger than ever!

Microsoft has confirmed that the recent Xbox outage shouldn’t have affected games on disc. Xbox discs are subject to "entitlement checks," but they should still be playable offline. A fix to prevent this from happening again will be rolled out soon www.theverge.com/games/972416...
