@Joeynator3000 With Fire Emblem Heroes no longer giving platinum points, and Animal Crossing Pocket Camp ending, it is now the only mobile game to score you weekly My Nintendo points. Which aren't worth much, but I do use my Mario/Kirby shopping bags and the annual desk calendars.
@Twilite9 I think it is generally a bad thing to post any external objects, twitter, bluesky, or otherwise, as when this article is read by someone in 10 years, there's no guarantee the API will still work.
I want to see the whole minecart ride experience on YouTube, and then finally experience it 5+ years from now when Epic Universe isn't the hottest new thing.
Protip: NEVER USE A TEFLON PAN! Just go plain cast iron, stainless steel, or enameled cast iron. If stuff is sticking, just use more butter. You don't want Teflon in your system.
This announced the day after Disney announces $449/day/person line skipping passes for Disney World lmao. Universal is going to destroy them over the next decade, just by not being tone-deaf. (Lightning Lane Premier Pass is the name for those of you interested).
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
TotK Hero Mode update when?
It's one of only a few BotW DLC features not in TotK, the others being permanent Master Sword upgrades and teleporting horses. (The extra carrots are covered from the other ancient horse armor is covered by horse upgrades).
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.
@GarlicGuzzler 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.
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).
@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.

Just do a remake of Zelda 2. If it works, then consider another game, just like how Grezzo did modern LA, then used the style for EoW.

Re: Masahiro Sakurai Has Already Toured Nintendo's Museum
@GarlicGuzzler
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.
