And the previous version of Leon. I don’t even know that’s going on with the new one.

I really enjoy the new Star Fox remake for the most part, but I miss this. I miss this very much.

I enjoy just organizing all of them. It makes me think of wandering the Nintendo aisle at Target or Toys R Us. This is what my subscription fee goes to.

Everyone: Pokemon Pokopia! Me: I’m going to spend my Saturday drinking coffee and beat the Turbo Tunnel in Battletoads (still got it) We don’t talk enough btw about the sheer number of cool ass games for the NES part of NSO. So many classics and random imports and lost gems. And Battletoads!

Job update time! Today was my first day as Larian Studios' new Storytelling Lead! It's wild to be back in an office fulltime for the first time in more than a decade -- and in another country to boot -- but it's wonderful to find community so far from home.

Big announcement from me! On October 8 I will be moving to the UK for a new opportunity that will take me out of the media (but I'll still be in the games industry). You can read what that means for @bloodgodpod.bsky.social right here: www.patreon.com/posts/future...

Starting the process of paring down my collection. A lot of amazing memories in here including the launch copy of Pokemon Pearl I got in Japan in 2006 🫡 So many hours of joy. I hope they bring someone else equal happiness

Will there be a June Direct? My feeling is that it's not happening now that we've had the DK Bananza Direct. Here's what I think will happen over the next couple months.

Kat Bailey @katbailey.bsky.social · 21/06/2025

I just don't see a world where traditional AAA third-party moves the needle for Switch 2. It has been, and will always be, about Nintendo's characters.

NEW ON NINTENKATS: There's been plenty of discourse around Switch 2 third-party sales this week, but does it really matter? I explain why it might not while sharing thoughts on DK Bananza and offering Direct odds READ: nintenkats.beehiiv.com/p/do-switch-... SUBSCRIBE: nintenkats.beehiiv.com

Kat Bailey @katbailey.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I'm also really interested in Splatoon Raiders. It doesn't get as much play here in the U.S., but Splatoon 3 shattered launch records in Japan and it's clearly a very important franchise for Nintendo. Splatoon Raiders speaks to Nintendo's desire to continue growing its core properties.

Kat Bailey @katbailey.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

One thing that's surprised me is that Switch 2's backward compatibility has played better than I could have imagined. @dark1x.bsky.social praised it in our convo yesterday and I've seen lots of positive reviews. I love see Link's Awakening with fresh eyes.

Solid rec. I can already imagine who who it would replace. This is the card I need to get this deck singing but no luck pulling it yet
