plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I think it’s interesting how much of the narrative of the Rare buyout in online discussion typically turns into “Rare’s games stopped being Good so Nintendo said No you are no longer worthy”. Implicitly siding with Nintendo and not considering how the parting was very much mutual. 100

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I hope that Rare is able to make it through this bloodbath at Xbox Games Studios. Microsoft folding their smaller studios into their biggest ones makes me wonder if the end goal is selling them off piece by piece. Essentially trying to bundle companies together to offload them 000
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Shoutout to my favorite esoteric genre of Nintendo game: “extendible arm punching simulator”. This category includes Teleroboxer, ARMS and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. 000

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 17/09/2026It’s pretty incredible that within a year and a half of launch, the Switch 2 will have an enhanced port of the first 3D Kirby, an enormous sequel to Air Ride AND the second 3D Kirby game which adopts a more open world collectathon style. Thats a lot of Maxim Tomatoes to enjoy 000

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I’m glad this seems to mean that a newer entry of a franchise for Switch 2 does not prevent Nintendo from going back and updating its predecessor for the new system. If Nintendo was hell bent on funneling everyone to play just Mario Kart World, they would not have done this 030
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The thing people don’t understand about getting a new Banjo-Kazooie is that Microsoft would have to actually make a video game. That’s just way too hard! The execs will save themselves the time and effort by firing the dev team in advance. 000
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The more I think about it, the more sad I get about just how bad a hand Metroid Prime 4 was dealt. If the game had come out as originally intended around the middle of the Switch’s lifespan, I think the expectations around it would not have grown so enormous 100

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 19/08/2026So many modern video games publishers seem to want to cut out the whole “making video games” part of the process. Late stage capitalism be like “fuck you, we don’t have to fulfill our obligation to provide you anything of value in exchange for money” 100
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 18/08/2026I’d like to believe that part of why Nintendo put all this effort into Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics is to pay respect to the developers of those games. For many devs at Nintendo (mostly R&D1 and IntSys staff) it was a whole chapter of their career they could never talk about or celebrate. 130
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Super Mario Sunshine has this thing going on where it has the graphical sheen of a GameCube game but the jankiness of an N64 game. It’s absurd just how often players clip through geometry 100
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 14/08/2026The Dragon Hopper soundtrack by Minako Hamano is unbelievably good. It gives the game exactly the kind of moodiness and magic it needed. This particular song dropped my jaw when I got to it. This is “Virtual Boy ascending to heaven” music.youtu.be23. Stage 5: Celestial Road - Dragon HopperYouTube video by LuigiBlood Music 100
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 13/08/2026It’s really fascinating to me that Dragon Hopper is effectively the tone/ vibe/ game design precursor to the original 3 Paper Mario games. Director Ryota Kawade and several staff from Intelligent Systems did Dragon Hopper then moved straight onto making the original Paper Mario on N64. 152
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 12/08/2026I’m curious if Nintendo is developing any further 3D/ VR technology that goes beyond a limited proscribed use like emulating the Virtual Boy or creating a Labo Kit and a couple of VR updates for existing games. They put a lot of R&D effort behind 3D over the years. 120
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 11/08/2026This has been: my weekly sociopolitical screed, we are now returning to regularly scheduled Virtual Boy posting 010
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Capitalists are big talk when it comes to firing folks en masse but you put one real human person they fucked over in front of them and they become mealy mouthed weaklings. That’s why these layoffs are done in cowardly ways; these fuckers can’t face what they really have done. 110
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I love stuff like this. Cowardly ghouls like Sharma hide behind a computer while she knowingly decimates the livelihoods of thousands. Harder to do that with a giant inflatable rat and these flags in your face delivering a clear message: F U C K Y O U 010
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I feel like playing Dragon Hopper has unlocked a new appreciation for the first 3 Paper Mario games within me. Director Ryota Kawade just has such a magical touch that is so sincere in its appreciation of fairy tales/ cultural traditions. I hope he continues his supervision of Paper Mario. 100
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I love the 3DS but man the Circle Pad hurts my thumb with extended use. What a weird little evolutionary link between Nintendo handheld d-pads and their analog sticks 000
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 05/08/2026I’ll have more fleshed out thoughts later but thus far I’m extremely impressed with Dragon Hopper. The controls are very tight and the overhead platforming is unbelievably polished. It feels so natural and makes incredible use of the stereoscopic 3D 110

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 28/07/2026It’s interesting to think about how Nintendo operates now versus when Iwata was in charge. Iwata was truly unique as a CEO because he was just as qualified as a game designer and programmer as he was a manager and a business leader. 120
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 26/07/2026This is definitely true and is probably indicative of just how hard people cling to their favorite hobbies/ media these days. Don’t wanna let them go, rather justify why any controversial changes are actually okay 110
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Yoshi is interesting as a Nintendo franchise because it seems like it was only really prioritized by EAD for the first two installments (Island and Story) and then afterward there was seemingly no big picture plan for the franchise beyond “make another one to serve some other purpose” occasionally 100
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 25/07/2026Got the new Yoshi! I will support Good-Feel forever, I love them and their games. They are worth supporting as one of the few true “auteur second party” devs Nintendo has left. They’ve been making Nintendo games for 18 years now! 000
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 25/07/2026When people say “I wish Nintendo made more new IPs” what they really mean is “I wish Nintendo made new IPs that appealed more to my tastes”. Stuff like Arms/ Ring Fit/ Astral Chain “doesn’t count” because they’re Weird or too this or that. 273
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 23/07/2026I wonder if we will ever see any music licensing for Nintendo’s music service. Soundtracks from games that aren’t 100% owned by them. If they gave Microsoft like 5 dollars they could probably get stuff like the Rare N64 OSTs. 100
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 22/07/2026If Banjo-Kazooie was revealed in the modern day the direct announcer would be like “IN THIS GAME, YOU CAN COLLECT COLLECTIBLES.

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Xbox announcing backwards compatibility for PC: “pleaseee don’t abandon our dogshit ecosystem in droves, have some crumbs.” I’d be surprised if there was even anyone left in that division after the layoffs. 010

plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Most N64 games would just paste this texture everywhere in greyscale with the tiling plainly visible. Rare used color very smartly to get around the N64’s tiny storage cache for textures. Most wouldn’t even notice it’s all the same texture here 130
plaztazm.bsky.social @plaztazm.bsky.social · 18/07/2026In the latest update, Nintendo added Tomato Adventure, one of AlphaDream’s first and best games to the Japanese Nintendo Classics GBA service. Im happy to see it on here as another little piece of AlphaDream’s legacy that lives on :) 100
