Gamexplain actually has a very good relationship with Nintendo, unsurprisingly. They get invited to stuff, they get early review copies, they get backstage at cons and get to interview people.

So if they've been invited to go on a 'vacation' when does it start or end? Like what's the time frame window for this vacation?

I still think that Panic Restaurant is a fun platformer that isn't ludicrously hard (gently caress you Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania I) and that Swords & Serpents is an enjoyable RPG, especially since I found a physical copy for $5 recently.

Emulators are legal, its the ROM distribution that is not

generally speaking the entire firmware of a traditional emulated hardware console is a copyrighted piece of code, if they rewrite a new firmware its legal but you can't really say it will emulate accurately.

e: looked into it and its some pico8 style custom fpga lua program so it probably doesn't have a flashed firmware in it. but microsoft employees are literally downloading the app and running it instead of doing anything about it haha

cartridge consoles generally* don't need a bios rom to be able to run games, since the rom chips run directly on the metal and include a bios within the game itself.

disc based consoles do need one† because the system's bios is generally needed to boot the games.

I have about 40 or so Genesis games with boxes, manual and art, but all but two of my NES games are cartridge only. I bought a physical copy of Adventure Island 2 and it didn't work; they gave me my money back, but I was still sad because I love that game (yes, I know it's on 3DS VC; I have it). The game looked flawless as well. I have a physical copy of Adventure Island 3, which is even better, that looks like hell but it works just fine.

One thing that has not changed from my childhood is that I think that dinosaurs are great, even 8-bit bright pink ones that spit fireballs.

I hate the puppet guy, he's such a loving whiner. He released a video about Paper Mario Color Splash that was just embarrassing, and one I keep seeing in suggested feed is "Pikmin 3DS hurts me". I'm sure he probably has a stupid hot take on Federation Force as well.

I'll give him this much: at least when he says that, he also says that it just doesn't look fun to him and that others can still enjoy it if they think it looks fun, which is a pretty big step up from most reviewers and stuff where it is just "no I hate it so it is bad"

The new pikmin game on 3ds looks a hell of a lot more like what you'd think a pikmin 3ds spinoff would be than some of the other games nintendo fans have been upset about (fed force, amiibo festival, and color splash). I mean, I think all 3 of the games I just mentioned look bad (and having played amiibo festival, I think it is bad) but the pikmin 3ds game at least looks interesting, tho not necessarily something I'd get at full price.

I didn't know the puppet guy until I saw that NX video linked above elsewhere, and it's a shame his other stuff is apparently just dumb whining according to my fellow goony goons. I say that because I rather like this particular video; it was earnest, chill, hopeful, nostalgic. And the guy does the puppet thing like someone who actually watched way too much Jim Henson stuff which is endearing. If he did more like that I imagine he'd be a big hit.

Gonna buy the Pikmin 3DS, though. I like the idea.

his colour trash video was like a video about grover explaining informed consent and how its not right to touch or hug other kids unless they say its ok

in other news if you watch the danger V colour trash videos on noa's youtube channel it actually kind of gives you hope because the colour toad captains are providing :siren: partner-character-like dialogue :siren:
it remains to be seen if this is a game feature where they still have bad partnerless combat but there are actual characters who stick with you throughout the game and provide commentary on the plot/spectacle/situation/inhabitants or if its just the framing of the promo videos

Miyamato made some comment years ago that they had toyed with ways to put Pikmin on DS or 3DS and either directly mentioned the possibility of a sidescroller puzzle platformer or at least indirectly hinted at it, and I had just assumed it was discarded into the bin of "awesome ideas from Nintendo that will never actually see the light of day" like a 3D Kirby. I'm really excited for it, and even more excited if there really is a full-fledged Pikmin 4 in development for NX too.

The only thing that looks bad about Pikmin 3DS is possibly the framerate(beta footage though) and the developer might be Arzest who had put out some merely serviceable bad Yoshi games.
