Re: Rumour: Nintendo May Be Looking To Add SNES Mouse Support To Switch Online

I'll shill for Hyperkin's laser mouse for SNES.
That's a really nice device, much better than the original trackball mouse from the 90s. It makes Mario Paint feel much better.
Too bad the chances of an official USB-to-SNES adapter is zero percent.

It also works great in Civilization and Wolfenstein 3D, really making me wish it worked on SNES Doom and Sim City

Re: Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp To End Online Service In November

The fact that the game will remain playable and that only updates are stopping is an excellent choice on Nintendo's part, and although I'm not a Pocket Camp player, it gives me hope that Mario Kart Tour and Fire Emblem Heroes will also remain playable in some form whenever all updates for them cease.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Has Already Toured Nintendo's Museum

You can read about the system yourself at https://museum.nintendo.com/en/guide/service/index.html#exhibition
but here's the summary:
With admission you get 10 coins. The coin cost of each game has not been announced.
At the time of opening there will be 8 activities.
Shigureden SP (I think that's the floor screen game)
Zapper & Super Scope SP (shown off in the direct)
Ultra Machine SP (The pitching machine game)
Ultra Hand SP (Grab things with an ultra hand and score points in a skill game)
Love Tester SP (2-player experience of some kind)
Nintendo Classics (literally just playing games on NSO, why would you pick this one?)
Big Controller (play a game with a comically oversized controller)

So, as long as you don't play NSO games there, there are only 7 activities 'worth' doing. Hopefully no more than three of them cost 2 coins.

Re: Nintendo Museum Tickets Will Feature Your Mii

I incredibly glad that Miis are not forgotten.
And I love that you get a custom souvenir, kind of like the unique 6-brick combination from visiting the LEGO House (a fundamentally similar corporate museum by a different toy company).

Re: Feature: Here’s How Trading Card Companies Could Stop CT Scanning In The Future

@HeadPirate
That's a lot of words, but random packs are a scummy business practice, and nothing you said even attempts to claim otherwise.
Fantasy Flight, White Wizard, Rio Grande, Plaid Hat, and numerous other card game publishers put out excellent card games (many with constructed deck formats like Pokémon, Magic, and Yu-Gi-Oh) that are financially viable, but where you know the contents of each pack you buy before opening it.
Konami, TPCI, and WotC choose this because they know Skinner boxes are addictive.
