It's very unlikely that Brain Age comes to the US because of the Lumosity lawsuit thing.

Is that why? Can you give more information on this? I wasn’t aware there was a lawsuit.

A real hellraiser


Lumosity was basically a pay service that made claims about training your brain, and basically a rip off of Brain Age. They got sued for fraudulent claims so I think Nintendo of America was like "Welp, bullet dodged"

How was mechstermination force anyway? It looked like it has the same control feel as gunman clive. It's one of those games in the back of my mind that I feel like I should follow up on but never do

Like I said, the player feels really floaty and shooting the bosses doesn't feel like you're damaging them. Also it's boss rush only. No actual stages. To me it was a competent but unremarkable game.

Does anyone know if the Space Invaders Invincible Collection is getting a North American release digitally? I see Strictly Limited is publishing a cart for it in English but I’d rather have it digitally.

Yeah, the case set the precedent that you can't claim that a game makes you smarter. Never played a Brain Age so I don't know if it actually does that. Guessing that Nintendo can't be arsed to change the game since it's not exactly a huge title.

In better news Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is finally launching on Switch and other places on the 22nd. Best drat "casual" space sim since Freelancer. Sadly they had to drop the ship painting and custom radio, but it's still worth it. Gonna double dip if the port is decent.

I'll admit, the possibility of the mario collection being a complete farce is now more entertaining than it being a reality, if only because of the combination between 1) how long people have gone without a big Direct, and 2) I cannot think of a longer con job besides maybe Metroid Prime Trilogy or "the grinch" leak, so the schadenfreude potential is enormous

The next direct is a actually the Switch 20/20 announcement. Not backward compatible with games or any existing hardware. It no longer has a handheld or docked mode. Instead it's a pair of glasses that allow games up to 480p at 24fps on both eyes. Not VR, just two flat frame screens.

Release Schedule:
Legend of Zelda: Sights of the Wild
Super Mario Odyssey 20/20 Edition
Super Mario Land 3D 20/20
Metroid Prime 20/20 Tech Demo
1 2 Switch (no new features)

They think the eShop should be up by winter 2022. Netflix is a spring 2023 announcement, but you'll need to get a special streaming lens for it.

Bill Trinnen had the only copy of the big Nintendo Direct video on a floppy disc and it got demagnetized going through a TSA body scanner on his way to YouTube so now the Mario 35th Anniversary Collection, Mother 3 HD, and Metroid Prime Collection are cancelled.

There's no need to do anything like this if you update to the latest firmware actually.

I played and really enjoyed A Short Hike. I am stuck at 19 feathers. The guides online show there is a feather on a rock in front of the kid who sells 4 feathers.

That feather was not there for me or my gf. I'm wondering if it has been moved somewhere? I don't see any info online about it.

stop staring at me

I'm on the second major section, and the combat is wearing a bit thin for me already. Normally I like these sorts of puzzles, but forcibly integrating them into battles makes me impatient with them, to the point where I'd rather just skip combat—particularly since your stronger weapons that let you finish tougher enemies in one attack (and get the no-damage bonus) have durability

I am working toward the second banner and love the area. I hope the field/battle music continues to change in each new area because I am a huge fan. Charming is 100% spot on.

You can find hidden toads everywhere, little trophies, some super special trophies, hidden ? blocks, and holes to fill with confetti. You can also use toad points to unlock things further in the town museum, which displays things you already found. The map helpfully lists your completion percentage of toads, blocks, trophies, and holes in each sub area.

If there’s anything I love more than collecting in games it’s collecting towards completion percentages 💦
