This sucks for many reasons. But I think it's worth emphasizing how selfish and duplicitous it is to go work with a public-facing, community-focused media org like MinnMax without disclosing this part of your past to them. (MinnMax confirmed to me they were not told.) Please support them if you can

I have been saying for years that StreetPass is the single greatest innovation in the history of gaming and that society has been downhill since we all transitioned from 3DS to Switch and lost the social aspect.

Twinbee asks Kirby, "You ever played Pop'n Twinbee?"
Kirby answers "What's Pop'n Twinbee?"
And then Twinbee answers, "NOT MUCH HOW BOUT YOU?"
Kirby turns away with a huge frown in response to the bad joke

My two favorite Nintendo series got new games announced today so naturally this was a 10/10 direct. Everything else could have been an email though.

Reminder to check your PSP batteries often! Mine literally popped out as soon as I took my PSP out of its case and the swelling literally popped the plastic shell off. Yikes!

Caught a local game store slipping bad: Picked up the misprint version of FF7 for $40. It goes for around $100-$150 online. And I used trade credit so it was "free.” One of those things you always check every black label FF7 for and it finally paid off. Just game collecting things.

A lot of people (accurately) point out that premium video games are cheaper today than they were 30 years ago thanks to inflation, but discussed less often is how much bigger the margins are for game companies now that sales are 80-90% (soon to be 100%) digital. No more retail or packaging costs!

New video! Taking a look at Star Fox Assault on the GameCube: what happened the last time that Nintendo tried to tell a different story with these characters instead of retreading the classic SNES/N64/Zero story again...that we will see yet again on the Switch 2! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVD0...

Summer Games Fest opened with Resident Evil and closed with Final Fantasy. They bookended that showcase for me specifically. I could not tell you what else happened in the middle that's how uneventful it was. Xbox showcase had a lot of the sauce I'm keeping eyes on. PlayStation's was ok I guess.

The Louvre has discontinued the 3DS guide program, where you could rent a 3DS and play this pre-downloaded tour. I had a friend visit years ago and pick me up a physical copy! Probably the strangest “game” in my collection.

You're JOKING this was approved. The move of large corporations, particularly Nintendo, patenting obvious gameplay ideas that just happen to be executed via software is one of the greatest threats to game development and creativity. How is the USPTO approving these. (Claim breakdown below)
