Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Is Laser-Targeting Your Toddlers With This New 'My Mario' Line

It's interesting, because for a long time Nintendo didn't take such a direct route to profits. It's odd that it took them so long to launch a Nintendo theme park.

There was a time when they seemed to give out the Mario license to anyone, hence the weird cartoons and all manner of substandard merchandise.

But there have been decades of relative restraint between these two points in time.

Re: Donkey Kong Bananza: Walkthrough

The problem these days is that in the race to be among the first to publish a walkthrough online, these guides understandably are quite sloppy.
What really needs to happen is that someone goes back and tidies them up a bit;
I've read walkthroughs on this site (though like I say, they're far from the only offender) that were so badly written and opaque that they actually hindered rather than helped my progress.

How I long for the sumptuous displays of game guides found in NMS.
Or perhaps I just miss being younger.
