I was grateful for the Hero's Path add-on, as that made tracking where you had been possible. Frustrating that it was only capable of logging a certain amount before deleting your initial path though ... I wanted to completely cover the whole map in lines and got close!
Is it known how many of these exist? Surely quite easy (if you have access to high spec commercial printing presses, etc) to reproduce now, as they weren't really designed with any anti- counterfeit measures.
There is a very limited number of very wealthy people who happen to want Pokémon cards, so this isn't sustainable or scaleable ... Assuming that these transactions are driven by any financial / behavioural logic whatsoever.
@Rypopo The yellow is a sign of the degredation of the ABS platic caused by UV and heat (not Bromine as commonly thought) Don't just use Hydrogen Peroxide, as this will further weaken the plastic - and the effect doesn't last!
Long story short - there's no good way ... So just embrace your yellow SNES!

Re: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Finally Gets A Release Date, Open World Confirmed
Got a bad feeling when the gap since MP3 was so vast ... No games seem to benefit from this pressure.
Samus can become a ball - why does she need a motorbike? Just seems off.
Re: Video: We Bought 100 Copies Of Mario Paint... For Science
So each copy is only worth $5? Keeping my copy all these years I imagined it might be worth more ... NO I DEMAND IT BE WORTH MORE!

Re: "DROP THE PRICE!!!" Scream Nintendo Fans During Nintendo's Treehouse Live Broadcast
@SwitchplayerJohn I sent them a handwritten letter moaning about this being two years pocket money and they sent me a controller and carry case.
Although £250 to 14 year old me was a lot, I was looking forward to it so much I wasn't too bothered about it. Those are good memories!
Re: Acclaimed Horror Title 'Mouthwashing' Is Making Its Way To Switch
Reminds me of Killer7 on the GameCube. Same flavour of crazy.
Re: Star Fox-Inspired Space Shooter 'FUR Squadron' Is Getting A Switch 2 Sequel This Year
Axolotl = Slippy Toad
Re: Hands On: Super Mario RPG Is The Most Faithful Remake We've Ever Played
Looks likes I'll have to get this so I can read Bowser saying 'Fungar'.

Re: Square Enix Releases 'Final' Tactics Ogre: Reborn Trailer Ahead Of Launch
@Atticus-XI It's used as an exclamation - a bit like 'wow' I suppose.
Used more traditionally by older people, or humourously than by the 'youth'. Example 'Cor look at the size of that!'
It also helps if you bulge your eyes and push out your lips for emphasis!
Re: Namco's Yokai Dochuki, Renamed 'Shadowland', Is The Next Arcade Archives Game On Switch
He has Kitaro's hairstyle, but no Geta or spirit hair Chanchanko.
Re: Square Enix's Triangle Strategy Has Been Rated For Nintendo Switch
I'm looking forward to being challenged to a dool. Whatever that means...
Re: The UK Is Finally Getting An Online Pokémon Center Store Of Its Own
You know the rule. 1/3 increase in plush size = 3 X the price. That's £10 extra per inch ...
Pokémoney grabbers!
Re: Ouch! Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Hit With Additional $10 Million Fine
The only liquid assets Bowser owns are Lava-based, the rest is tied up in property, or just tied up princesses.
Re: Rover Mechanic Simulator Will Send Switch Owners To Mars
Misread this as a game about the (almost defunct) car brand MG Rover and being a mechanic in one of their dealerships. Not quite as glamorous.

Re: April O'Neil Is Playable In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, Now Out 2022
What about Krang? I need to play as a pink abdomen-dwelling blob who delivers withering insults.
Re: Accusations Of Foul Play Surface Around Record-Breaking Graded NES Game Auctions
@Kieroni No the Art collectors don't commit tax evasion, they employ Tax avoidance and we all know that's fine!
Re: Tails Of Iron Is An Adventure RPG With Heroic Rats, Arrives On Switch Soon
Frogs as the enemy? I'm feeling amphibiant about that.

Good old 'Honest Ape'
Re: Feature: What's Your Most Treasured Club Nintendo Possession?
Light-up model of Majora's mask. I resorted to buying codes from eBay as I didn't have enough that hadn't expired!
Re: Random: Forget "Can You Pet The Dog", Does Your Favourite Game Have A Crab In It?
Stop writing these silly articles or I'll come round and 'Brachyurans'.

Re: Bitmap Books Reveals New Tome Covering The Entire History Of JRPGs
@sikthvash Thanks for the info - as I am old I haven't played those ones and was therefore ignorant. Still ... it's fun to find fault!
Re: Bitmap Books Reveals New Tome Covering The Entire History Of JRPGs
Castlevania? That's a s t r e t c h.
Re: Jakks Pacific Reveals Brand New Super Mario Playsets, Arriving This Fall
Luigi looks like he's being eaten by a frog.
Re: The Magnificent Trufflepigs Is A Narrative Game About Metal-Detecting
Throw in Toby Jones as a playable character and 'Dirt Sharks' as NPCs and I'll bite.
Re: Pirate RPG King Of Seas Gets Snapped Up By Team17, Switch Release Planned For May 2021
@Broforce I couldn't understand why you could only race Starfruit when there's so many others to choose from - Papaya, Pineapple ... Mangoes even.
Re: Full First Edition Pokémon TCG Set Smashes Another Record At Auction
There is a very limited number of very wealthy people who happen to want Pokémon cards, so this isn't sustainable or scaleable ... Assuming that these transactions are driven by any financial / behavioural logic whatsoever.
Fun to watch though.

Re: Feature: What’s The Sexiest Nintendo Console Ever?
I have an orange SNES. O.K it's ... brown. (Caused by Bromine released during exposure to U.V)
Second only to the heartache suffered when the rubber in buttons and joysticks goes all soft and gooey.
Re: Feature: Best Nintendo 64 Games
I remember battling final Wizpig on Diddy Kong Racing many times - that son of a bitch used every trick in the book.
Even a perfect run meant his character model was clipping into the frame right up to the finish line - which was massively distracting. Good memories!
Re: Skeleton Crew's Enchanting Action-Adventure Olija Washes Up On Nintendo Switch This Fall
Why create such wonderful concept art, and then reduce it down to this?
Re: Video: Nintendo Minute Compares Original Link's Awakening To The Switch Version
Sorry can't get past the art style in the new version. If only for link's soulless eyes. Urgh.
