@Wisps I'm not sad at all as a long-term fan of the series, I had a really good time with it. The only thing I didn't truly care for were all of the Kickstarter things dropped into the game for backers.
Hmm. I used the Game Boy Camera a lot over the years and bought a couple of spares. I've always felt conflicted when I've found images on the second hand ones, as they're often very personal and feature family members, etc. I've felt awkward deleting them but I'm also sure that the people who took the pictures hadn't envisaged someone else coming into possession of them. Using those found images in an artbook without permission feels unforgivable, to be honest.
"this was their once a generation chance to change mario back to an Italian-American plumber from Brooklyn, as he should be. ah,well."
Agreed. Always wondered why Mario had that overly cutesy faux-Italian accent when I grew up reading that he was a plumber from Brooklyn! Not saying that he had to sound like Bob Hoskins in the games but he would've had a bit more personality if his voice had skewed more toward that direction.
I've been getting unsolicited WhatsApp messages from scammers over the last few days and I just realised that phone number was leaked in this breach. Wonderful stuff.
FFS. I'd love to change my password but they've restricted access to the site. Had a couple of orders with them over the last couple of years. Luckily I used PayPal but I'm not thrilled about the rest of my data being out there.
Been after something like this for the NES NSO controllers for a while, especially as the PowerA equivalents I'd been looking at were out of stock. Hope this comes to the UK.
@ShonenJump121 I'm still using a Club Nintendo pouch for my Game Boy to this day. I definitely had a few soundtracks from them as well. It's a shame that it fell victim to Nintendo's penny pinching.

Re: Rumour: Switch 2 Game Cases Might Take Up More Space On Your Shelf
I really want cute little cases like the JP GameCube ones or the DS equivalents. Really don't need anything larger than that for such small carts.

Re: Iconic Publication Game Informer Is Closing Down After 33 Years
@Spider-Kev They're objecting to "Damn". Utterly absurd but they have form for attempting to police how articles on the site are written.
